***Matt's P.O.V.***

 After Alex left to shower in my room, I went to shower in Nate's room. I was almost done with my shower when I realized, I didn't bring my clothes with me. Faceplam. I'm such an idiot! Who leaves their clothes in another room. And Alex is probably changing oh god. After those series of thoughts I grabbed my towel and wrapped it around my waist, hurrying off to my room and knocking on the door. "Who is it?!" I heard Alex's muffled voice.
"It's me, Matthew. I left my clothes on  my bed. Can I run in and get them?" I pleaded.
"I'm almost done getting dressed. Just give me a second and I'll let you in." She yelled back.
After what seemed like 5 minutes of standing there in my towel, the door finally opened. Alex looked stunning, She wore denim shorts with the pockets run through and a loose fitting grey tank top, with grey and black checkerboard slip on VANS. She looked a little shock to see me just standing there in my towel and started gazing at my body in awe.
"Done gawking so I can get dressed?" I asked with a cheeky smile on my face.
She quickly shook her head and walked off into the living room.
I quickly got dressed, ready for the day I have planned. I ran out of my room and into the living room. "Hey beautiful. Ready to go?" I asked a startled Alex.
"Uhh, Yeah. LET'S DO THIS!" She teased. I stifled a laugh and grabbed my keys. We walked out the apartment and as I locked the door I felt Alex undressing me with her eyes, I just winked at her and she shot me a nervous smile. We walked to the parking garage and I let her pick the car of the day.
"Which car would you like to take today?" I asked showing her the keys. There was a Porsche, a Range Rover, an Audi, and a Jeep. Being the girl she is, she picked the Audi. I grabbed the keys from the table and unlocked the car. The suicide doors went up and we got in the car, I put the key in the ignition and started up the car. The engine purred to life and I put the radio on. "Good Time" by Owl City started playing and I pulled out the garage park. I started heading towards the first thing on my check list, the Carnival. It's where I was going to take her for our 2 months anniversary date, but since we broke up I decided we would go today. As we pulled into the carnival parking lot I looked over at Alex, who's eyes were glistening with excitement. I parked the car, and took the key out. "Ready?" I asked as I slowly opened my door and slid out, running to the other side to open Alex's door.
"As ready as I'll ever be!" She grinned as she grabbed my already waiting hand. We walked hand in hand through the carnival gates and went over to buy tickets. I noticed a man eyeing Alex so I snaked my hand protectively around her waist, she looked at me nervously but I just gave her a reassuring smile as I paid for the tickets. When the man that was eyeing her came closer to her, I went into super defensive mode. I bent down to tie my shoe as I noticed Alex slowly backing up, when I looked up the man that was looking at her was preparing a punch to my face. I guess my dad was right and 10 years of MMA would come in handy. I quickly rolled out the way and watched as the man's fist hit the ground. Soon there was a large circle around us and plenty of people telling fight, I quickly flipped up off the ground and was on my feet. I noticed how the man was standing and could clearly tell he was drunk, he went in for another punch when I quickly move out of the way. "We don't have to do this ya know! You can just give me the girl, I just wanna have a little fun tonight!" He slurred, pulling back for another punch.
"Leave her alone, she's mine!" I spat back to him, quickly avoiding the punch.
"But she's so beautiful just one night!" He pleaded.
"No! Not one night, not ever! You need to back down before something we can't change happens!" I yelled at him. He started gaining a frenzy look in his eye, and that's when I knew what I had to do. He went in for yet another punch and I quickly grabbed his arm and hit him in the face with my elbow. Thinking he's had enough I started to turn around to get Alex when I felt a sharp impact on my jaw. Oh, the old drunk has some sober friends. I hastily regained my composure and hit the drunks friend in the face, the guy flew to the floor with the impact. Another guy, who looked about 7 feet tall came running towards me. I waited till last minute to slide out the way and I hastily kicked him in the face. That makes two guys on the floor and one guy with a broken nose. Another guy jumped on my back and I flipped him off my back, he just laid their almost paralyzed from the momentum of the throw. I ran back over to Alex after making sure no one else was going to jump at me. She seemed terrified of me, as if she didn't want me to touch her. It was already approaching 7 and we had to head to the beach so without touching her I waved her in the direction of the car. "Come on Alex.  We gotta go!" I told her, speaking as softly as I could. She just nodded her head an walked in the direction of the car, I unlocked the car and opened her door, she got in and waited for me to put the key in so the doors can drop. I ran to the other side and got in, "Sorry about ruining our day out today. It's just the guy-" I began speaking but Alex cut me off.
"Thank you for what you did back there." She said in a barely audible tone, "He was going to rape me and you saved me" she whispered again.
"I'm sorry for getting so protective over you, its just that I saw him looking at you and I got mad and when I saw you backing--" I was cutoff again, but this time by Alex's lips crashing into mine.
