New Love | Matthew Espinosa

Chapter 55,

Saturday, a couple of weeks later;

"Rise and shine everybody. We are off to Paris today," My dad yelled from downstairs; causing me to wake up even more.

I don't sleep well at the moment because of my leg and how every move I make I just groan from such pain. Sighing from my thoughts, I turned over bumping into Matt resulting my leg to grow in even more pain and cause me to groan from such pain.

"You okay?" His voice filled the room having a hint of raspiness to it. "Could say so," I rolled onto my back and rolled my eyes. 

Matt yawned and rubbed his face, rolling onto his side and smiling down at me. I looked into his eyes and raised my eyebrows, feeling my leg throb. 

"Don't be so sad," He croaked. "Why not?" I asked as I felt like I wanted to explode.

All my anger, sadness, frustration is built up inside of me and I don't know what to do or say. What if someone says hi to me and I just give them the cold shoulder? 

"Because you need to be happy. I love seeing a smile on your lips," He slowly crawled his fingertips up into my shirt.

I just pursed my lips to the side and gave a little smile, knowing where he wants this to lead. He pecked my arm a couple of times, begging for more but I never gave in. 

"How's your leg?" He rested his head on my arm as he knew I wasn't in the mood. "It's getting better," I shrugged as I admired the moon boot around my leg. 

Before Matt could speak, a big loud bang went off on my door causing us to both jump at the noise. 

"What?" I called out as I held onto my chest. "Hurry up and grab some breakfast!" Hayes yelled. "Okay, we are coming now!" I called out as I took the cover off of my body.

As I went to brush my legs off of the side of the bed, Matt held me still and crawled over to me with puppy dog eyes. I rolled my eyes and looked down at him, raising my eyebrows. 

"What?" He giggled as I was the one doing something wrong. "I'm hungry, so get off of me," I chuckled and ruffled his hair.

"But I'm not," He rested his head along my stomach. "My food is going to get cold," I groaned as my stomach started growling. "Fine," He sat up and pouted at me.

After eating breakfast, packing our suitcases and getting into our clothes for the day, Matt and I jumped onto my bed and looked up at my ceiling in silence. But as time went by, I felt like Matt was staring at me. 

I rolled my head over to face him and noticed as soon as I looked at him, a smile grew along his lips. I blushed and scrunched my face together, soon covering my face with my hands. 

"Don't cover your face," Matt groaned as he got a hold of my hands. "Stop staring at me. Makes me feel uncomfortable," I admitted as I shrugged. 

"But you are beautiful," He cooed as he ran his thumbs along my cheeks as I just eyed him as I hated him lying to me. 

"Want me to prove it to you?" He asked as I gulped at the sudden words. "I mean, sure," I said as I craved the touch of his lips. 

Matt laughed and leaned down, smiling down at my lips. Once they connected we both couldn't help but smile through the kiss, causing us to pull away and look into one another's eyes. 

"I love you Matthew," I said as I reached towards his soft cheeks. "And I love you too," He said as it made me feel a whole lot better. 

I pulled his head down softly and placed my plumped lips upon his soft lips. Feeling the warmth and love radiate off of his lips is the best feeling in the world, and I can not put it into words.
