Reckless // Matthew Espinosa

Chapter 9

I woke up still on the couch. Just where I had stayed at during the movie. I rubbed my eyes, taking in my surroundings. Chelsea was asleep. Taylor was on the floor , right next to Chelsea's couch. And as for Matt. He wasn't there. He probably went home or something.

I walked upstairs, tying my hair up. I walked into my room, still half asleep. I looked to see Matt lying on my bed, fast asleep. How exactly did he end up here?
I could here his soft snores escape his mouth. He took a different pillow and blanket. I was surprised at how polite he was for doing that.

I stepped into my bathroom, brushing my teeth and then washing my face. I decided to stay in my pyjamas. I'd shower later. I stepped out, running into someone's chest. "Woah there." I almost didn't recognize Matt's morning voice. It was raspy and groggy. "Well Good morning to you too, Matthew." I chuckled. "Good Morning Zoe." He rubbed his eyes, still a little sleepy.

"Um I don't exactly have any spare toothbrushes. Just use mouth wash if you'd like. " I said. He did and then followed me around. I checked my phone and then went downstairs. Chelsea and Taylor were still asleep.

Matt helped me clean up around the house. Afterwards, his stomach began to rumble. I giggled, asking him what he wanted. He said that he was fine with a bowl of cereal. I was thankful that he didn't want something over the top.

He picked out his cereal and I picked out mine. We sat at on the bar stools , eating silently. "What should we do today?" I asked, finishing up my bowl. "Well, Taylor is coming over to my place. You and Chelsea can come if you guys want." He offered. "Sure." I smiled.

As I set my bowl in the sink, I looked at the clock. It was 8:45 AM. Wow, we were up very early for a Saturday. I went upstairs with Matt following again.
"I'm gonna take a shower. Do you want to watch some TV?" I asked. "Yeah." He replied. I showed him to the TV room and handed him to remote. After that, I left to shower.

After my shower, I put on a pair of leggings and a over sized Vans shirt. I dried my hair and then put it in a ponytail. I did my usual routine and then met Matt in the TV room. He was watching SpongeBob. The 'Colored Krabby Patty' episode was on. My favorite. Matt laughed a little. I couldn't help but smile a bit.

Taylor and Chelsea had woken up and were calling for Matt and I. I paused the episode and scurried downstairs. Matt did the same. Chelsea was hungry, as well as Taylor. I handed them a box of cereal and took out the milk. Once they got their breakfast ready, we all sat at the table.

"So Matt and I were discussing what we could all do today." I started. "Um, well I was going to go somewhere with Chelsea." He said, slightly embarrassed. Chelsea smacked his shoulder, scolding him for not being polite. "Sorry." She glared at Taylor who shrugged.

"Well, I am going to go home and relax. So why don't we meet at my place at 6:30." Matt said. We agreed to the plan. As for me, I had no plans at all and was clueless of what I was going to do. I guess I'd figure something out.

After breakfast, Taylor and Chelsea left. That left me and Matt. Matt was getting ready to leave. "So Zoe, what will you be up to?" He smiled. "Nothing really." I shrugged, irritated for some reason.
"Would you like to come home with me right now?" He offered. "I don't know." I mumbled. "Cmon, you've never been to my house." He reasoned. I agreed, a bit excited.

Matt's dad picked us up again. Matt's dad was used to seeing me. His dad practically considered me as family. I was wanting to see the rest of his family. They seemed nice. Matt told me he had a pretty big family.

We finally pulled up to a big house. We got out of the car and walked up to the front door. Matt's dad unlocked it, letting me go in first. His house was beautiful. I followed Matt, as he walked into the kitchen. His mom was there. "Hi, you must be Zoe." She hugged me. "Hi, I've been excited to meet you all." I smiled.
"Matt talks so much about you." She smiled. "Mom." Matt said, embarrassed.

"Im going to go show Zoe around." He quickly urged me away from his mom. He showed me around his house, though I didn't get to meet his brothers and sister. They were busy with their jobs or college.

We walked upstairs to the game room. Right as he walked in, a dog came running towards us. He leaped on to Matt, licking his face. Matt was laughing, and finally introduced me to his dog. "All right Zoe, this is Burnie. Burnie this is Zoe." Burnie began licking my face as I began to laugh.

Matt then showed me his room. It was obviously like a guys room but without the mess. "You can chill here, I'm going to take a quick shower." He went into his bathroom, locking the door. I sat on his bed, observing his room. I was wanting to look around more, but I didn't want to be nosey.

So I sat there, busy on my phone. I eventually got lost into it, not paying attention to anything. I heard the bathroom door open, as I looked up. Finally, Matt was done. No I lied. He was in his underwear, but had a towel resting on his hips. "Um I." I stuttered, looking away. "I forgot my pants." He chuckled. He quickly went back in to the restroom.

I couldn't lie about what I saw. But Matt made me somewhat attracted to him like that. His hair was all over the place, wet. He had water droplets on his muscular back. He had revealed his slightly toned chest. The towel rested perfectly on his torso, which had a very slightly visible V-Line. And best of all, the whole time he had a smirk on his face as if he did this on purpose.
