party twenty two

Today was their Camp Flog Gnaw performance. They were all nervous but extremely excited. We were hanging out backstage, it was still a few hours before their set. They were bringing golf carts out on the stage for their friends to chill out in. Matt had asked me to sit in one of them, which I agreed. I was sharing a golf cart with Drew and Enya, who I hadn't met until today. I was a huge fan of both of their vines and videos so it was cool to meet them for the first time. They were both really funny and they both listened to my music and loved it, which made me really happy. They were filming an interview right now, so we stood off to the side. Matt and I had been arguing a bit lately. It wasn't a big deal, but he was frustrated with his music and so was I. We both had a lack of inspiration, but I had a trick up my sleeve. He had a lot of work to do because they needed to submit Saturation 3 soon, so he felt pressured to finish up all his work.

I had talked to Ian about going away for a weekend with Matt. I felt like it would do some good for the both of us to have a mini vacation, spend some alone time somewhere beautiful and get inspired. I had gotten us a room at nice hotel on the beach and I was excited to just relax and get room service and not have to worry about anything or anyone else but Matt. I decided to wait until after the performance to surprise him. I knew he would be in a good mood after being on stage. The boys finished up their interview and walked back to the area that Drew, Enya, and I were waiting by. Matt took my hand, pulling me to the side to have some privacy. "How are you feeling, baby?" I asked, smiling up at him. He wrapped his arms around my waist, leaning down and kissing my lips softly. I smiled into the kiss, tugging in his shirt and kissing him back eagerly. Even though we had been fighting, I couldn't help but have a weak spot for him. He was the love of my life.

"I'm feeling okay, pretty excited. Thank you for agreeing to go up with us." Matt mumbled once he pulled away. "Of course." I smiled, pecking his lips quickly. The boys were called up to go on stage and I took my place sitting against the side of the golf cart that faced the crowd. I raised my eyebrows as she saw the crowd of people. This was a huge performance for them. The guys ran out once the music started, performing song after song. I sang along to every word, dancing with Drew and Enya and taking videos of them doing their thing. Somewhere in the middle of the set, Matt and Ameer ran over and jumped on the back of the cart, shaking it and making the three of us laugh loudly. Matt hopped down, pecking my lips quickly before running to the front of the stage and spitting his verse. I rolled my eyes immediately because I knew the blue paint had transferred onto my face. They finished off the last bit of their set before waving and running off.

i laughed, jumping on Matt's back as he ran down the backstage lot. He held up my legs as he ran, laughing loudly. He was so fucking excited after killing that performance, it made my heart feel warm. I hopped off of his back, wrapping my arms around his neck and kissing him passionately. At this point, I had so much blue paint on me that I didn't care anymore. We pulled apart, giggling like lunatics. "Babe, I have a surprise. I already talked to Ian about it so it's all good." I started, bumping my nose against his and smiling widely. "I thought we could go away for the weekend and go to some fancy ass hotel on the beach and relax and spend time together. I booked us a room." I mumbled, pecking his lips lightly. "You did all that?" Matt asked, raising an eyebrow. I shrugged and giggled, him kissing me quickly. "That sounds amazing, baby. Thank you." he smiled, pulling me in for a tight hug. I hugged him back, hiding my face in his shoulder.

We pulled apart, walking hand in hand back to the group. "Aw, y'all are best friends again." Ian joked, making the two of us roll our eyes. "Can y'all stop being so cute? It actually hurts." Enya joked, making everyone laugh. We piled into the van, heading back to the house to unwind after the show. I sat on the couch with Ameer, sharing a joint between the two of us. "This is fucking wild. We used to do this shit in your living room in the Woodlands. Look at us now." Ameer mumbled, passing me the joint. I inhaled the smoke, holding it in for a few seconds before exhaling it. "We made it this far, life is a fucking roller coaster." I nodded, passing it back to Ameer. Matt came down the stairs, taking my hand and pulling me up from the couch. I followed him upstairs to his room, giggling as he slipped off his shirt. His chest was completely white but his head and arms were covered in the blue paint.

"You look funny." I laughed, taking his chin in my hand and pecking his lips softly. "Yeah, you're looking pretty blue too." he chuckled, tucking a stand of hair behind my ear. "I'm gonna shower." I nodded, grabbing my towel and some clothes before stopping at the door frame. "Care to join me?" I smirked, making him raise an eyebrow in surprise. He shook his head and laughed, grabbing his stuff before following me into the bathroom. We changed out of their dirty clothes, hopping into the warm water. The two of us scrubbed at our skin, trying to get the paint off. "This is messy." I groaned, rubbing the paint off harshly. "Yeah, it is." Matt laughed, dunking his head under the water and rubbing off what he could from his face. I smirked, pushing his hair back and taking his face in my hands. The paint dripped down our bodies as we kissed intensely, him pushing me against the wall of the shower. Once we had finally finished our shower, the wall tiles were covered in the blue paint. "We should uh, clean that." Matt laughed, drying himself off with a towel. "That's a good idea." I giggled, drying off my hair and smiling at our reflections.
