sitting beside each other, they didn't know what to say but it felt as though nothing had to be said.

passing a cigarette between each other corine felt comfortable around a man for the first time in years.

she watched as he inhaled the smoke letting it pass back through his pink lips, his lanky fingers gripping the half gone fag.

he held it out towards her, gripping it through her much smaller fingers she brought it up to her red stained lips.

feeling relaxed as they sat and watched the bustling vegas city.

not sure on how to continue their 'date' she rested her head on his shoulder, contemplating whether she should leave.

matthew bounced his leg up and down while watching the small woman puff out the cloud of swirling smoke.

it felt like a love song, without the love. just the attraction to the grunge girl.

short black hair curling at the nape of her slender neck, black body suit paired with a pair of ripped jeans that hugged her every curve. and those damned black scuffed converse.

he seemed like the polar opposite, as though the shared addiction was the only thing they shared in common.

he was an actor, and didn't know exactly what she did, he decided to ask and break the ice, hoping to hear her voice again.

"what do you do for a living?" his raspy tone flooded her ears, she sat up and faced him.

"i'm a makeup artist, freelanced" she blushed at her dumb occupation, everyone judged her when she shared that information.

"i'm an actor" he stated crushing the cigarette butt under his boot.

"i know, i've seen you in some stuff, you're pretty good" she sent him a smile, he smirked.

"let me guess! criminal minds?" he gave her a slight chuckle and a lopsided smile.

"yeah actually, spencer is so dreamy, i wonder who plays him" she rested her finger upon her chin in a playful motion, laughing in the most adorable way matthew had ever heard.

"that's very mean corine" he gave her a faux frown and furrowed his eyebrows trying to look as mad as possible.

"the guy who plays him is so hot geez what i would do to meet him, i'd pounce on him like a lion" she continued on her little charade, knowing how worked up she was making matthew.

"i don't know hm he is pretty hot though, a good actor too" he decided to play along.

"wow egotistical much?" she laughed at him cocking her head. he just gently nudged her with his elbow.

"corine you think i'm hot?"

"would i be sitting here if i didn't?" she looked at him like he was an idiot, which he very much was for asking such a stupid question.

"fair enough" he shot her a smirk, to which she thumped him on the chest.

and for once in her life a man had made her happy.

and for once in matthews life, he had found a girl out of his league and would do anything to make her happy.

but he had already accomplished that without even knowing it.
