When I'm With You {M. Brody}

~Chapter 21~

I sat back down at the table and smiled at Brody, not even worrying about all the people starring. Our food had already arrived but Brody was waiting on me to eat.

"You didn't have to wait on me.", I said. "It's fine, besides it would have looked a lot worse if I was eating by myself.", I laughed softly at his response.

We continued eating, blocking out everyone who was starring and whispering things about us. It was just us two in our own little world.

When we finished, Brody paid the bill, even against my protests. "Is there anything else you want to do?", he asked as we walked out the door. "I don't care, we can do something if you want to.", I said, slipping my hand into his.

He thought about it for a second before saying, "What if we go home, put on some comfortable clothes, and hit the couch to watch a movie.", he asked.

"That sounds amazing.", I reached up and kissed his cheek. We walked the rest of the way home.

I walked up the stairs and into my room, kicking my heels off into the closet. I slipped my romper of and threw on Brody's shirt that I like so much. It's so soft!

Brody then came in and threw his shirt off and put on some shorts. No matter how many times I've seen it, I still stare at his abs. They really are a beautiful sight.

"You go find a movie. I'm making popcorn.", I say running downstairs toward the kitchen. I reached into the cabinet and pulled a bag of microwave popcorn.

"What movie?", I heard Brody yell from the living room. "You pick.", I yelled while throwing the bag in the microwave.

A minute later the microwave went off and I pulled the bag out. I opened the bag and poured the popped popcorn into a bowl.

I walked back into the room, popcorn in hand and plopped down on the couch. "What'd you pick?", I asked when he sat down beside me.

"Truth or Dare.", he said, putting his arm around me. "As long as you hold me when I get scared.", I snuggled into his chest. "The whole reason I picked it.", he said. I rolled my eyes at him.

He pressed play and the movie started. I pulled the blanket that was beside me on top of the both of us. I nuzzled farther into him as the movie started to play.

"They're so freaky looking!", I said, sticking my face in Brody's neck. He laughed then said, "I'll turn it off if you want me too."

"No, no! I'm brave, I can make it through the rest.", I said, turning back to the tv. Just then, someone's hand was broke by a hammer and I squealed again.

"Brace my ass.", he said laughing. "Shut up you douche!", I punched him in the arm.

If only all those people tonight could see us now. Wait! I grabbed my phone off the couch beside me and pulled my camera up.

"What are you doing?", Brody asked as I held my phone out in front of us. "Giving all them assholes from tonight what they want.", I snuggled farther into him and buried my face in his neck, then took the picture.

It was a really cute picture. I opened my Instagram and posted it, captioning it;

Scary movies as long as you're there to hold me.♥️ @mattbrody

I also tagged Brody in the picture and posted it.  "People are going to go crazy.", he said, raising an eyebrow. "That's the point.", I said.

Sometimes you have to go through the bad to get to the good.
