Virginie's Point Of View

May 23

We've barely slept if we did.  The sun shining through the curtains didn't even succeed in tearing us away from each other.  We've been in our little bubble since we kissed again and never stopped since.  I never thought he could make me feel the way I do when he touches me.  Sparks fly, fireworks explode and I can't remember to breathe as he takes my breath away.

I had to use the bathroom and that's when I looked at the time on my phone.  We were minutes away from our check out time.  We hurried and made our bags before leaving the room and head to the front office.  

We are on the road direction Chicago and I'm so tired that I actually let Matt drive.  He is happy about it and nothing else matters.  We've got a fifteen-hour drive, and I know it will be painful.  Matt has been driving on this highway for more than an hour and I've been fighting sleep ever since.

I realise that I actually fell asleep when the car stops.  I quickly open my eyes to pretend like I wasn't sleeping, but I was.  The first thing I see is the pouring rain on the windows of the car.

"Where are we?"  I ask as I look everywhere around, lifting myself up on my seat.

"We are in Albany, New York.  Three hours off the road."  He smiles and takes his phone from the cup holder between us.

"But where are we right now?  Why did we stop?"

"I don't know about you, but I'm starving.  We haven't eaten breakfast nor lunch yet and we are in the middle of the afternoon.  It's also pouring outside, so I want to let the rain calm down a bit."  He says and opens his door.

It's a good idea.  I'm hungry too and it's best to not drive in the rain when it's pouring that heavily outside.  We really should have left Boston earlier, but I don't regret a thing.  I take my phone and get ready to face the rain when he opens the door for me.  I really love his little attentions for me.  

We walk into MacDonald's and get in line to order.  As we wait and I look at the menu, I feel Matt's hand slide into mine, entwining our fingers together.  My body is covered in chills.  It feels good, amazing even, to show a display of affection in public.  Just by holding my hand, he makes me his in front of everyone around.  It gets my heart pounding again and I can't help but to let my smile widen on my lips.  He makes me feel very special without even trying.  We take a step forward and I find myself staring at him and everything he used to mean to me versus what he actually means now.  I realise that he always was special to me and I loved him just as much, it's only the title that changed, but somehow it feels like more.  I feel like more than a woman, I feel accomplished, because, for the first time, I can actually picture a future, an infinity instead of a right now.

"Sweetheart?  The lady would like to know your order."  He tears me away from my thoughts with his beautiful English accent.

He just called me 'sweetheart' and it completely fucked up my mind.  I'm so turned on.  I feel so hot.  I don't know what to order.  What I want to eat isn't on the menu...  I smirk to myself and order the same thing as him.

We take our meal and head to a table near a window.  My eyes get lost looking at the rain outside and it brings my thoughts to Liam.  I don't know why.  I think he was my rebound.  I remember how great it felt to kiss him and have sex with him that night, but once the alcohol faded out and we kissed again the next morning, there were no sparks.  It was a plain kiss, as boring as when you kiss your family.  So, thinking about that again makes me realise how special it is with Matt that I don't want him to just be my best friend, I want him to be mine.  With everything I went through with Harry and living in the right now, I know that moving forward, that's not what I want.  I don't even know how Matt pictures me in his head.  I know nothing, maybe he wants to date me first before knowing if he really sees me that way.
