Hate Is A Form Of Affection (UNEDITED)

Chapter 51

I stand inside my room staring down at the dress, and heels placed on the corner of my bed. A tear manages to slip out of my eye, but I wipe it away. Do I really want to go anymore? My day has been ruined, and I'm still upset over the news. I don't know how I feel about Matt either. Can I really believe any of the words he says?

I grab my towel, and take my time showering. Once I'm done I slip my undergarments on, and then my dress. I put on my high heels, and a necklace around my neck. I take my wet hair, and blow dry it, then take my curling iron and begin curling my hair. I put on a few mascara, and concealer with a bit of lip gloss. I stand in front of the mirror and take in a deep breath. I take a good look at myself. I manage to let out a small smile but it quickly goes away once I hear the door opening downstairs, hearing my mom greet Matt. I grab my phone, and step out the room.

"Riley!! Matt's here! Come down I want to see my beautiful girl." I can hear the happiness in her voice. I sigh and slowly walk down the stairs. I see Matt standing at the bottom of the stairs fixing his bow tie and he seems a bit nervous. As I walk down, Matt turns his head towards me and his mouth drops. I make it to the bottom, and my mom is taking a bunch of pictures.

"Mom, no pictures." I really am not the kind of person that loves to have pictures taken of themselves.

"Oh, come on just a few pictures. This is a special night!" She says getting on her knee flashing pictures on her camera.

Matt smiles widely at me, and kisses my cheek.

"You look beautiful." I crack a small smile, and he wraps his arm around me pulling me closer into him.

"Okay, smile!" She says. I plaster a fake smile on my face, and I notice Matt isn't faking his. He seems genuinely happy. He looks down at me, and rests both his hands on the side of my face looking into my eyes, pulling me into his embrace. He sends me a small peck on the lips, and he inhales in pulling away.

"I love you." He tells me.

"M- me too." I stutter. He just looks at me, and grabs my hand not questioning that mistake. I don't know why I stuttered, it's usually never hard for me to say I love you back to him, but then again I'm all over the place today.

"Bring her back by 10. Be careful drive safe and have fun!" My mom says Laughing. We step out the house, and he wraps his arm over mine. I look forward, but I notice he's only staring at me.

"Your the most beautiful gorgeous girl I have ever seen." He tells me. He's smiling so wide I think his lips might fall off. It's adorable, but I'm just not feeling it. We get near the car and he removes his arm from mine, and runs to the car and fixes his hair, and opens the door for me.

I step into the car, and he closes the door, and I quickly put my seatbelt on. He comes into his side, and rests his hand on my thigh. He runs his hand up and down my thigh making me turn my head towards the window closing my eyes. He kisses my cheek, and grabs my hand.

He rests his hand under my chin and turns my head back to him, he kisses me, and pulls me in closer, and he pulls away starting to kiss my neck. I close my eyes, and breath out.

"No Matt not tonight." I say. He pulls away from my neck, and looks at me and smiles.

"Okay, I'm sorry if I came on to strong." He says starting up the car pulling out of the drive way.

"It's okay." I say turning away from him. He glances at me a few times but I don't dare to look at him.

After about 8 minutes we Arrive at the school. I can see a bunch of people walking inside with their dates. I can hear the music blasting inside, and I take my seat belt off. Matt shuts the engine off, and gets out of the car coming to my side and opening the door for me. I thank him, and he takes my hand and walks me inside. As we head in I see everyone dancing and having fun. I look around at the decorations, and it looks wonderful. I look at the corner of the room and see a stand. I see a ballot box, and 2 crowns. I wonder who will win homecoming king and Queen.
