Tell Me A Lie In A Beautiful Way (Avenged Sevenfold)

Chapter 33

Kat's POV

I opened my eye's, stretching and looking at the ceiling. I smiled to myself. Here I was, in this big beautiful bed, in Vegas with Matt. It was surreal, but fabulous. I couldn't think of anywhere I'd rather be and I was touched that Matt had thought of this idea. He was right, we did need to spend a little time to ourselves, with no one around.

I turned over gently and looked at him sleeping. He had a boyish look about when he was asleep, his face relaxed and I found it appealing. What was I talking about, I always found him appealing.

I studied his face. What was it about him? I had no idea, but there was something there, something had a hold on me and I couldn't stop it if I wanted too. My life had changed that night I heard Hotel California being sung behind a closed curtain and it had changed forever. No matter what happened between Matt and I, there was no going back. He was like oxygen to me, I needed him to survive. It was a frightening feeling and I couldn't explain it, it was just unexplainable. I needed him to live, without him I would die.

I really did wish people could see the side of Matt that I saw, the caring side, the sweet side, then maybe they'd understand why I was here with him. Matt had a way of making me feel special and loved when we were alone and I was coming to terms with the fact that he just didn't do it in front of people, although sometimes I did wish he would just hold my hand, but Matt was Matt and I loved him no matter what.

He was still sleeping soundly, he needed some good sleep, so I got up quietly, going into the bathroom, then heading out to the living room, grabbing a coffee and going out onto the balcony.

The view was spectacular and I was dying to ring someone and tell them where I was, anybody, I didn't care who.

I went back inside, grabbing my phone and calling the only person I could think to call.

"Hello." Dani answered, sounding remarkably bright for this time of the morning.

"Hi." I said smiling, sitting down and grabbing my coffee.

"Where the fuck did you get to the other night Kat." She snapped. "You just disappeared."

"Oh." I mumbled. "I went to bed."

"Well I don't blame you." She went on. "Inviting his ex and rubbing it in your face, I hope you're at your mother's Kat."

"Um well not exactly." I said staring at the view.

"What?" She asked. "Well where are you?"

"Actually." I said smiling. "I'm in Vegas."

"What?" She asked, sounding shocked. "What the hell are you doing in Vegas?"

"It was Matt's idea." I said softly, waiting for the backlash.

"Please tell me you did not take him back Kat." She snapped. "After everything."

I sighed. "Dani." I said softly. "We are here, spending some time together, working things out."

"Really Kat." She groaned.

"Yes." I said. "God Dani I can't help it okay, I love the douche."

She laughed. "I know you do Kat, I just wished he treated you a little better."

I smiled. "Dani, he treats me like a queen." And that was true, he did treat me like a queen, it was just that nobody saw it.

"If you say so." She muttered. "And for Christ sake, don't get fucking married while you're in Vegas."

I couldn't help but laugh. I really didn't think Matt was the marrying type. "That's highly unlikely Dani."

"You're right." She laughed. "I'm pretty sure the prospect of marriage would have Matt running away and screaming."

"Yeah." I murmured. "I can assure you we are here for a little fun and a little time together, that's it, no marriage."

"Good." She said.

"Yep and now I'm going to go." I told her. "I'm going to go and climb back in bed with my beautiful boyfriend."

"Well enjoy." She said. "And I want to hear all about it when you get back."

"Oh you will." I laughed.

We said our goodbyes and then I hung up, grabbing my empty cup and going back inside.

Now I was going to do exactly what I'd told Dani I was going to do, go and get in bed with my boyfriend.

I snuck back into the room and climbed into the bed softly.

Matt opened his eye's and looked at me.

"Shh." I murmured, putting my hand on his cheek. "I didn't mean to wake you, go back to sleep."

"No it's fine." He said rubbing his eye's and smiling.

"Okay." I whispered moving closer as he wrapped his arm's around me, kissing my forehead.

"So." He murmured. "What have you been doing?"

"I had a coffee." I whispered. "And called Dani."

"God." He laughed. "You just couldn't help yourself could you? You had to tell someone."

"Yes I did." I murmured running my hand over his chest. "I wanted to brag about how romantic you could be."

"God Kat." He chuckled. "Don't tell everyone my secret."

"Only Dani." I murmured as he kissed me.

"I guess that's okay." He murmured, kissing my neck softly.

"Oh my god." I giggled, my hands in his hair. "She made me promise that we wouldn't get married."

"What?" He asked, pulling away and frowning.

"Dani." I said smiling. "She made me promise that we wouldn't get caught up in the Vegas vibe and run off and get married."

"Did you promise her?" He asked, still frowning.

Now it was my turn to frown. "I guess."

He rolled his eye's laying on his back and staring at the ceiling, scowling.

"Did I do something wrong?" I asked him, feeling a little concerned.

"What?" He asked looking at me. "No." And he grabbed my hand. "It's just that......well I was planning......" And his voice trailed off.

I propped myself up on my elbow, looking at him. "What, what are you trying to say Matt?" I asked him, concerned.

"Kat." He sighed, looking at me. "I actually planned to marry you today."

What the hell did he just say? "I'm sorry? What?" I asked, not sure that I'd heard him correctly.

"I have it all planned." He softly. "The dress, the rings, everything."

"Are you serious?" Was he fucking serious?

He sighed. "Kat." He murmured, rolling over and looking at me. "I'm deadly serious babe, I almost lost you and I don't want that to happen, I don't want you to walk out of my life ever. I want to marry you Kat, I want to spend the rest of my life with you and only you."

I looked at him, biting my lip, then I buried my face in his chest, crying softly.

He was so beautiful and romantic and sometimes it still caught me by surprise. I just wished more than anything that everyone knew how special he really was.
