Who Are You? - A Matthew Espinosa Fanfiction

Chapter 19

MATTHEW'S POV:

It had been a week since I asked Allison out on a date. It had also been a week since she agreed to be my girlfriend and I was extremely happy about that fact. But I was a little upset that I had to ask her to be my girlfriend in the middle of us having a screaming match. She was way too special to have me ask me like that. I decided that I was going to re-ask her to be my girlfriend in a creative and special way because she deserved at least that. I hadn't planned our first date with each other yet, but the next show was in Allison's hometown, so I was going to use that to my advantage.

I had learned a lot about Allison in the last week, due to the fact that she was starting to let me see more than just glimpses of the real her. Sure, we still had our awkward moments together and felt like strangling each other at times, but overall, we were happy. The most important thing that I learned about Allison was that she liked food and Disney. Now that I knew what she liked all I needed to do was come up with a way to ask her to be my girlfriend officially. The only problem was that I couldn't come up with any ideas. So I decided that I needed to recruit an expert on Allison to help me. I needed to recruit Claire. So I called her.

"What do you want, Matt?" Great way to answer the phone there. It's a wonder she was single.

"Well...AllisonandmyrelationshipwasneverrealbutnowitisandIwanthertobemygirlfriend So I need your help," I said, stringing all the words together out of nervousness.

"Slow down and repeat that, Espinosa."

I sighed. "What is it with you and Allison using my last name? It's kind of weird you know."

"Matt," Claire said sternly. "you're stalling and I'm not stupid. Stop trying to change the subject, man up, and tell me what you want, because as exciting as your life problems are, I happen to have a life of my own."

"Fine. Allison and my relationship wasn't real, but now it kind of is. She agreed to be my girlfriend but I never officially asked her, but I want to. I want it to be creative and special but I can't think of anything. So I need your help."

Claire squealed. "Awwww! That's so cute! Y'all are just adorable! But that means that Shawn won the bet!"

In the background of the call, I heard Shawn cheer and tell everyone to pay up. I rolled my eyes.

"You room bet on us?"

"Yup," Claire said, popping the 'p'. "Not just our room. We let in the Jacks and Carter. And Bart. He told us about the clause in the contract. But I'll help you with the complex creature known as Allisonus Morgenus."

I rolled my eyes again before thanking Claire and hanging up. I smiled, this was going to be great.

ALLISON'S POV:

Things this past week had been great. I was living my dream. I got to call the boy that so many girls dreamed of dating mine. Matt Espinosa was my boyfriend and boy did I love the sound of that. He was sweet and it was nice to be able to let my guard down a little bit. Before Matt, CK had been my only friend that I was comfortable enough with to share everything with her. Thinking of CK, I realized that I still hadn't made up with her. I decided to do that now because I missed my best friend. Matt had been trying his best to play best friend and boyfriend but there were some things that you just needed to be able to talk to your girl best friend about.

I walked down the hallway to her room, extremely nervous. What if she really thought all of the things Nash said were true? What if I was holding her back? I had been so caught up in my own thoughts that I didn't realize I had walked in a circle and past her room...twice. So I circled back, gathered up my courage, and knocked on the door. CK opened it, took one look at me, and captured me a hug. I hugged her back, but the hug was slightly painful due to my injuries from the attempted kidnapping not having fully healed yet. Finally the two of us released from our hug and Claire went and closed the door to her hotel room after grabbing her phone.
