New York

Virginie's Point Of View

May 17th

I think it took not even fifteen minutes once we passed the borders for Matt to fall right back asleep. I never would have noticed if he didn't let a snore out. I didn't know he was such a late sleeper. I thought he would have been so excited to do this trip with me that he would have stayed awake, but he is clearly not. I'm madder than I already was. Time is going by slowly as I am on the highway. There isn't really much to see, so I listen to the radio to Mike and Mary in the Morning on Star, because they are always lots of fun. Well, they are at least funnier than Matt right now.

I find myself singing along to the radio through Plattsburg when I notice the time on my clock. An hour has passed, four to go. If I have to drive like this, I won't enjoy this trip like I thought I would. It saddens me. Things can get better and I hope they will. I'm just thinking over and over again about the kiss. It bothers me a lot. I find myself rolling my eyes to myself.

I exit in Albany, at midway to New York, to get something to eat from the icebox. I park at a gas station to fill my tank and get another coffee. I come back to take the bag of waffles to put in between Matt and I to eat on the road, but as I do so, he wakes up.

"Good morning Sleeping Beauty." I say a bit coldly. "Are you hungry? I've put the waffles between us."

I start the car and find my way back on the highway 87 as he rubs his eyes and straightens himself on the seat. He looks ahead and around before I feel his eyes on me.

"Morning. How much did I sleep?" He asks as I take a bite of my waffle and quickly look at him then at the clock before getting my eyes back on the road.

"About three hours, we are half way through." I answer getting my attention back at Mike and Mary on the radio. "We are in Albany, New York."

"Oh dear... I'm so sorry V. I promise I will not fall asleep again while we are on the road." I hear him say and I turn my head to the window to roll my eyes, but my anger is not manageable enough to hide it from him.

"Don't promise anything. I had my fair share of promises, I don't need another man doing the same." I harshly say, grasping the wheel tightly.

"Hey, what's wrong?" He frowns and sits up straight.  He leans forward to get a clearer view of my face, which I try not to let him, but I ultimately do as I feel his gaze burning my skin.

He looks deeply into my eyes and I can't seem to let his go either, but I must look at the road. In the short amount of time our gazes met, it felt like Matt looked into my eyes like they were opened doors to my soul.  I have never felt anything like this before, so I don't argue what he asks me to do.

"Exit here, please." He says and I frown at his demand, but I oblige. "Get in the parking lot and turn off the car."

Major 'what the fuck's are going through my head right now, but I oblige without asking because he might want to use the restroom. As I park and wait impatiently for him to say something, he doesn't. He just turns his body to face me without doing anything else. I lift my brows up and look at him until my impatience consumes me.

"What is it Matt?" I let out a bit too arrogantly.

"You are mad at me and we are not going anywhere until we've figured everything out."

I can't help but sigh and look away to roll my eyes, which is something I've done a lot these past two days.

"Don't roll your eyes at me, V. Tell me what's going on." He says as I sense he is really trying to figure this out, but I don't say a thing. I can't. Where to begin without sounding like a fool? "Will I have to guess, now? Alright!" He lets out on a dry tone, which surprises me, I don't want him to be angry too. "Are you mad at me because I slept in the car?"
