gone.

why are you in my house?

FAYS POV

by the time I was down the stairs and out of sight, I literally let out the biggest sigh of relief I have ever heard.

where the hell did all that confidence come from?

maybe it was from seeing matts bare stomach, oh my god his abs-

"FAYYYY, COME COLOR" I heard Katie shout from the living room.

I walked into the Parker's living room
& took in my surroundings: a tv turned up way to loud, set on the Disney Chanel, family photos lineing the walls, & a large amount of wooden baseball bats stacked into one corner.

I took a deep breath sitting criss cross on the floor next to the curly haired girl in a pink gown. she smiled at me & slid over a coloring book. I flipped to a random page landing on a black & white photograph of a woman decked out in princess attire, kissing a frog.

that story was always one of my favorites. it taught kids that if you loved something you can turn it into something beautiful. I loved it when my mother used to read it to me, telling me that If I wanted, I could make anything and everything around me beautiful. that's the main reason I loved art so much, just the thought of turning a canvas, or a sheet of paper into something worth looking at, was the most powerful thing in the world to me.

I was ripped from my own thoughts by Katie's small hands touching my own.

"I don't wanna color anymore, let's watch tv" she said, dragging me to the couch.

we were ten minutes into the show when Katie fell alseep, her head resting on my lap.

I tried my hardest to lift her without waking her up, but she was pretty heavy for a six year old. I decided to search the room for a blanket, before I heard footsteps behind me.

I turned to see Matt lift Katie into his muscular arms with ease. her head fell against his shoulder & he smiled down at her. he looked up when he saw me and grinned now, that genuine smile growing a bit bigger.

he turned the corner & I bent Down to try & rangle the mess of markers Katie left spread out of the carpet.

I stood up, lifting sweatshirt as I went, resulting in me falling onto the ground, hitting my ass with a loud thump, followed by pressure on my stomach.

"ow what the--" but I was cut off mid sentence.

MATTS POV

"goodnight Katie, I love you." I whispered into her ear as she grabbed a stuffed animal, hugging it tight to her chest.

I made my way back down stairs, passing through the kitchen, weaving into the living room when I saw Fay, bet down cleaning up something. I stopped and could feel myself smirking at the sight of her bent down, her leggings stretching thin.

I decided it would be the nice thing to do if I helped her clean up whatever mess Katie left for her. I started to walk up behind her when she turned around, smashing right into my chest. I watched as she hit the ground with a thud, grabbing my shirt on the way down. I landed right on her stomach, catching the majority of my weight on my arms.

"ow what the--" but I cut her off my burst of laughter.

she looked genuinely pissed off that I was laughing at her, but after a few minutes she too started to laugh.

"y--you sh-should ha-ha-have seen your f-f-face." I stammered out imbetween laughter.

once we finally stopped our for of giggles, she looked me dead in the eye and parted her lips. I uncounciously directed my gaze to her lips. I felt myself bite my own bottom lip, remembering I was still covering her entire body with my own.

I was in no rush to move, until she spoke.

"uhhh...so...um...can, you, like...maybe.."

"oh, yea yea sure! sorry." I said, while moving my chest from her own.

the strangest thing happned next, Fay didn't stand up, didn't even reach for her phone or sweatshirt. just simply turned onto her stomach, making her eyes turn towards the glowing tv.

she stayed in that position for a minute until turning to face me, raising her eyebrows and gesturing to the spot next to her on the floor.

I felt my face flush and said a silent thank you because the lights were out.

I hesitantly sat next to her, slowly folding into a comfortable position on my elbow, my entire body turned toward her.

I think that her blue eye was on my side, but I couldn't be sure.

she glanced at me, and broke into a huge smile.

"you wanna tell me why you might be staring at me?" she asked, now smirking.

"your interesting, that's all."

"interesting...how?" he asked quirking an eyebrow.

"oh I don't know I just met you, and you are already making yourself at home on my living room floor" I said.

"well, I'm comfortable here." she said, adding "I mean I can go if you want."

"no!" I said a little to quickly.

Jesus, matt, your so stupid.

"i-I mean, you..uh..you can...um..say" I stutterd "I mean, I-if you..uh want."

she clearly got a kick out of me getting visibly nervous, judging but the cocky smirk plastered on her face.

she starred into my eyes for what felt like hours, just looking, occasionally cocking her head a bit, as if trying to read my mind. after she turned her face she laughed lightly, almost so I couldn't hear.

"I make you nervous." she whispered, her face still turned to the tv.

I felt a blush creep onto my cheeks. I looked over to her and saw that sinister grin creeping back onto her Lips. she knew she got under my skin.

"w-what?" I muttered, stumbling over my own words.

she turned onto her side, facing me now. she leaned dangerously close to me, her lips almost touching my ear.

"I. make. you. nervous." she whispered, announcing every syllable.

this had my mid raceing.

I smirked to myself and in one swift motion I had turned my head towards hers, lifting my arm in order to push hers down. when I turned my face my lips brushed against her nose, and I felt her stiffen at my touch. she was now on the ground, with my arms on either side of her.

"I could say the same for you." I whispered, as quiet as I could manage.

I starts to bend down to her face and I could feel her start to stiffen. I was so close to her face I could see the blush that I had caused, making me grin.

I pecked her forehead and whispered into her ear "goodnight princess"

with that I got up, without another word, made my way up the stairs, Smiling the whole way back to my room.

I had her rapped around me finger.
