Military Daughter

chapter 21

I wake up with something heavy on my stomach. I'm really confused until I look down to see the Matthew has somehow sprawled himself across me, almost horizontal on the bed. Careful not to wake him up and check the time on my phone. We have only been asleep for about an hour. I see that Bart has texted our group message saying that he won't be back until morning time. I consider going back to sleep but I'm too uncomfortable to with him on top of me. I hate to wake Matthew because he just looks so cute. I decide to snap a picture really quick. I put it on my eyes only on Snapchat so no one will see it-seeing as I have no pants on and it's pretty obvious in the picture.

"Hey," I whisper and he opens his eyes slightly. "Matthew, could you kinda get off of me I can't go back to sleep."

"Oh sorry I should probably leave, Bart could be back soon."

"Actually, he won't be back until morning." I inform him.

"Well in that case-if it's okay with you of course, I suppose I could stay in here a little longer?" He asks me.

I think for a minute before I answer. I obviously don't want him to leave, but I also feel like I shouldn't be alone with him. I definitely don't trust my actions. "Yeah, sure why not." I say as nonchalantly as possible. He smiles.

"Sooooo what do ya wanna talk about?" He asks me.

"Um it doesn't really matter to me, we could put on a movie or something if you want." I say. I don't really want to carry a conversation with him right now because I'm scared it will turn into us arguing and I just want to spend time with him right now.

"Yea okay sure." He says. I turn on Netflix and we scroll through before deciding on watching August Rush. I tell him it's one of my favorite childhood movies. "Me too!" He says.

As we watch it I listen closely to the lyrics of the song that Louis sings when Lyla leaves him.

"I've been sitting watching life pass from the sidelines
Been waiting for a dream to seep in through my blinds
I wondered what might happen if I left this all behind
Would the wind be at my back? Could I get you off my mind
This time"

I can't help but start to cry. It's just a beautiful but sad moment. Matthew notices me crying and pulls me close to him. His embrace is warm and comforting. I could lay like this forever.

"Me too." He says. Oh my god I said that out loud. I'm so embarrassing. When the movie ends he decides he wants to watch something funny and puts on some show called 'Big Mouth' which I have never heard of. It's really immature but there's some things that I can't help but giggle at.
