Olivia's POV
I decided to forget about it, but it still lurked in the back of my mind. I went to find Matthew, with no luck. So I went to my room, changed clothes, and went to sleep.
The next morning
I wake up hearing loud yelling and laughing. I was very curious and decided to get ready a little bit before checking it out. I brushed my teeth and hair and then got dressed in a black crop top with white design and a pair of black high waisted jeans.
I walk downstairs, the laughs becoming louder. I walk into the kitchen and all of the boys are messing around and making a mess. Pancake mix covering the kitchen and the boys. I look around and see so much joy on all of their faces. I look around for Matt and become a little disappointed when I can't find him. I then turn to see Cam. He is laughing like everyone else. Until he looks at me. Everyone looks at can to see that he has stopped laughing because of me. The room falls silent. I have never felt more awkward.
Cam then took a step toward me. He then smiled. I was really confused.
" Can you help us? Matt isn't here this morning and he is the only one that can cook?" He laughs with pleading eyes.
I laugh a little to myself. I then nod to Cameron telling him that I will help him. He steps out of the way and all the boy quietly cheer. They go sit at the table and I can feel Cam staring at me. I turn to look at him but as I do, someone catches his attention. I walk over to the stove and a empty bowl with residue of pancake mix. I assume that the mix has magically exploded in the kitchen. I look in the pantry and see another box of mix. I then pour it into the bowl and add the ingredients. I start to make the pancakes and I see all the boys move from the table to the sofa and they start to watch some tv. I can hear muffled arguing about what to watch. I then turn my attention back to making the pancakes.
Shortly after I finish the pancakes. As I place the plate in the center of the table, I see all the boys rush into chairs at the table, playfully pushing and shoving. They all grabbed pancakes and there were none left. I was a little disappointed, so I went to the fridge to look for some food. I didn't find anything that I was in the mood for so I pulled out a gallon of chocolate milk and poured a glass. I put the milk back in the fridge and started to drink it. I felt eyes on me and saw all of the boys looking at me. They all looked at each other and nodded. I was so confused. They all took a pancake off of their plate and put it in an empty one. They put it at a empty sat and looked back up at me.
"Come eat with us." Nash says.
I look around the table and they nodded. I walked over to the table and sat between Nash and Cam. I looked down at the plate. There were so many pancakes on the plate.
" I can't eat all of these. " I told them. The
They all started to laugh and I joined in. They were so sweet.
After breakfast, most of the boys left for one reason or another. I was at the house with Nash, Hayes, and Aaron. They watched tv as I cleaned the kitchen. After everything was clean, I went upstairs to my room and decided to take a nap.
After about an hour and a half. I walk downstairs and looked for the boys. Of course, Hayes was in the kitchen looking for food and Nash and Aaron were on the sofa. I sat down too and they acknowledged me. I don heard the toilet flush from the bathroom in the foyer. I then heard footsteps coming closer, growing louder. I was relived to see Matt was home and I smiled at him. He smiled back and sat next to me.
We watched funny movies and a lot of tv. Soon we heard the front door open and close periodically to a different boy walking in and sitting in the sofa with us. Good thing that it's a huge L-shaped sofa.
Soon everyone was home and we decided to eat Chinese food and watch a movie. Little did I know that while I was in the bathroom, they were going to pick the movie and, of course, they picked the scariest movie. I sat between Matt and Cam. The movie was about to start. I felt brave, calm, invincible. Until it started. I know everyone else knew I was scared. I felt Matt wrap his arm around me and I leaned into him. I hid in his shoulder when something scary popped out, which happened very often. I soon felt very tired. I guess the movie had ended and I felt someone hold me in their arms and carry me to my room. I soon felt myself sink into my bed and felt a soft kiss on my forehead, followed by a " I love you."
And I know just who it was... Matthew.
As I slept that night, I dreamed of what Matt and I could be. But I knew we could be anything in real life. I mean, he is my kidnapper. I can't hold my feeling back forever, because...
I think I love him too.
