Snapchat : Matt x Neil || ☑️

Chapter 14: Beach

Matt's POV

"Neil?" I ask into the apartment. I close the door behind me, and kick off my shoes. I pick up the beer bottles from the coffee table, and then go into the kitchen. I toss them into the trash, and go back into the living room. I smile at Buddy, who lays in his bed. "Neil?" I ask again.

"Hold on a second." Neil calls back. He comes out of our room, a second later. "How was work?" He asks, and pulls me into a hug.

"Eh, could be better." I say, and he gives me a kiss. He pulls away, and raises an eyebrow. "I got shit from my co worker, for accidentally dropping the f-bomb when I attached the wrong cable to the wrong thing. And then he got pissed because I dropped a wrench."

"What a dick." Neil laughs, and kisses my cheek.

"I know, and I'm like: "Sorry, I mean I have grease all over my hands, what do you expect? I'm probably gonna drop a few things."" I say, and Neil smiles.

"I love you." Neil tells me, and rests his head on my shoulder.

"I love you too." I say, "Do you wanna come for a walk?"

"Sure." He says, and Buddy walks over to us.

I grab his leash off of the coat rack, and hook it to his collar. Neil and I both pull our shoes on, and I grab the key.

..

"Baby?" Neil asks, as we continue to walk hand in hand. I hold onto Buddy's leash with my left, and look over at Neil. "Have you ever thought of buying a house together?"

"Yeah. Do you want to?" I ask Neil, and he nods. "Then let's start looking."

We continue to walk down the dirt road to the beach, and I smile.

As soon as we make it to the beach, Buddy goes to the water, and sniffs it. I laugh, and Neil chuckles. Buddy then walks through the water, and I stand at the edge of the sand.

Neil's arms snake around my waist, and he puts his head on top of mine. "I love you, baby."

"I love you too, Neil." I say, and Buddy pulls on the leash, and I fall into the water. Neil starts laughing, so I grab his legs and pull him in. "It's not funny!"

"It kinda is, considering he's a puppy." Neil says, and I splash him.

"I hate you." I say.

"And I love you." Neil responds, and kisses my cheek.

"I love you, I hate you, I just can't get around you." I sing, and Neil smiles.

"I love that song." Neil says, and Buddy jumps on my lap.

"Me too." I say, and peck his lips.
