Breathe (Anthony Trujillo)

*32

When Matt and I were done with the class and everyone was packing up their things and leaving he stopped me.

"Hey, you're really good. Everyone loved you, could we exchange numbers and when you come back we could teach together again?" I start internally fan girling.

"Duh, I would love to." I pull my phone out of my bag and hand it to him. I watch as he types in his number.

"Great, so let me know when you're back from your trip, have fun."

I nod and follow Elton and Jay out the door. I start jumping around in the parking lot excitedly.

"I just danced with Matt Stefanina!" I grab the sides of my head in disbelief. I squeeze my arms around Jays bulky torso.

"Thank new friend." I punch his shoulder. I punch Elton's a little harder "Thanks for whatever part you had in this." I laugh a little.

"What can I say? I'm the greatest friend ever."

He says with a cocky grin, I laugh and shake my head. We get into my truck and drive back to Elton's.

-Next Morning (technically)-

I feel my body being shaken awake. I groan and squint up at whoever was shaking me.

"Anthony?" I question. "What time is it?" I ask.

"2:30 in the morning. You forgot to come see me." He days while crawling into bed next to me. I face palm myself and drag my hands down my face. I turn to face him.

"I'm sorry. I was so excited about meeting Matt, it clouded my head and then I was really tired when I got back." I explain in all honesty.

"It's alright. I'm here with you now." He confirms while pulling me into his body. I snuggle into his chest and sling my arm over his waist, and wrap my leg up with his. I close my eyes and take in his scent and start dozing off again.

-5:30am-

"Good morning love birds!" I groan in aggravation when I hear Elton yelling in the room.

"Elton, you bitch." I cover my face with a pillow.

"This bitch came to tell you, you have a half hour to get dressed and say your goodbyes, and then we're leaving with or without you." He says triumphantly.

I blow out a big breath and sit up, pushing myself against the head board. I reach over to the nightstand for my phone. I sigh when I see the time and swing my legs over the side of the bed.

I stand up stretching my entire body and walk over to the box I set my clothes on. I slide on my sweats and sweater. I pull my hair up into a messy ponytail. I quickly brush my teeth and pack my toothbrush in my suitcase.

I sluggishly walk back to the bed and shake Anthony.

"Hey, we're leaving soon." I whisper softly to him. He wraps his arms around my shoulders and pulls me into the bed with him. I'm laying on top of him with my arms wrapped around his neck.

"I'm going to miss you." He mutters. "Same." I answer. When I'm tired, I'll answer with one to three word sentences. I push myself up off of Anthony and pull him out of the bed. He stands up and stretches his limbs.

I grab my suitcase and drag it out the door with Anthony behind me. I set my stuff in front of the door and wait for Anthony to catch up to me. I stand in front of him and wrap my arms around his waist, squishing my cheek into his chest. I stand here with my eyes closed and he rubs my back. I feel myself dosing off.

"Alright. Time to go." I hear Sam say behind me. I sigh and slowly let go of him. I stand on my tip toes and grab his cheeks. I pull his face to mine and give him a long kiss.
