Hidden Love (Matt Espinosa Fanfic)

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Matt's POV

She's so beautiful when she sleeps. Her long, brown hair, her cute subtle smile, her body slightly moving up and down with each breath she takes. Everything about her is perfect and I want her to be mine. Lacey told me to wake her up when the movie was over but she looks so peaceful I don't want to wake her up. I should probably leave and go see my parents considering they think I'm on tour right now and I don't need to wake her up just to tell her that I'm leaving, I'll just leave a note on her computer. It says:

Dear Lacey,

I decided to go home and say hi to my parents since they don't know I'm home yet. I would've woken you up but you looked cute sleeping and I didn't want to bother you. Do you want to go out to dinner tomorrow? Text me.

Matt <3

~•~•~the next day~•~•~

I'm planning on taking Lacey on an amazing date and asking her to be my girlfriend today. Hopefully she says yes but I shouldn't get too excited because there's a chance she could say no. Lacey might not even like me, and even if she does she might say no because I'm about to go back on tour and leave her for a couple months, again.

Right now I'm driving to Lacey's house to take her out to dinner. I told her to dress nice so hopefully she does. I'm wearing nice khakis and light blue t-shirt to match her clear blue eyes that I love.

I finally got to her house and now my hands are starting to sweat. What if she wants to hold my hand? What if I forgot what I planned and screw the whole date up? I guess it's now or never. (A/N: High School Musical quote lol) I knocked on the door and waited for her to answer.

Lacey's POV

How long did I sleep for? It felt like days but I think it was only a couple of hours, and where's Matt? I remember falling asleep in his arms and now he's gone. Maybe he left because he doesn't like me like that and was uncomfortable with me laying like that. Wait, is that a note on my computer? It's from Matt:

Dear Lacey,

I decided to go home and say hi to my parents since they don't know I'm home yet. I would've woken you up but you looked cute sleeping and I didn't want to bother you. Do you want to go out to dinner tomorrow? Text me.

Matt <3

He said I looked cute and put a heart after his name. Does that mean something? Probably not, but a girl can dream. He also kind of asked me on a date. I should text and figure out if it's a date or not.

*Matt and Lacey's text convo*

*end of Matt and Lacey's convo*

I still don't know if it's a date or not but I guess I'll find out at 6 tomorrow night.

~•~•~the next day~•~•~

I decided to skip school today since it was the last day of school and there was no point in going. Plus I had to get ready for my dinner with Matt. I would call it a date but I'm not really sure if it is one or not.

~•~•~later that day~•~•~

I spent the last couple of hours just picking out an outfit and I finally have one. I decided on a navy blue skater dress with yellow flowers all over it and lace in the back. For the shoes I'm wearing light yellow vans. It's casual yet kind of dressy. Now I have to do my hair and make up. I'm going to curl my hair and pin two pieces back with a bow. For the make up I'm going to use black liquid eyeliner, a little bit of mascara, blush, and light pink lipstick. It's 5:30 now and I'm almost done with my make up. Now that I look at myself in the mirror I'm starting to get really nervous. What if we're just going to a café and I'm dressed WAY too nice? What if I say something stupid and ruin the whole dinner? What if-

"Hey can I come in?" asked Austin ( A/N: Lacey's older brother if you forgot), interrupting my worrying which was probably a good thing.

"Yea. What's up?" I answered trying not to sound as nervous as I feel.

"So are you and Matt going on a date? I think you guys would be a perfect couple." Austin said making me blush.

"No...maybe...I don't know! He just asked to go to dinner and told me to dress nice, so I am." I said, still blushing.

"Whatever. Just make sure you guys use protection!" he said as he walked out of my room.

"Shut up!" I yelled back to him. Brothers can be SOOO annoying.

Oh crap. It's 5:55, Matt is going to be here soon and I'm freaking out. I just have to be calm and just tell myself that it's not a date, we just two best friends hanging out and getting dinner. The door just rang, it's Matt. I guess it's now or never. (A/N: I did it again, I'm a loser. Back to the story!) Before I leave my room I take one last look in the mirror, everything's ok, except for my stomach which feels like it's filled with 1000 butterflies.

Once I get downstairs I answer the door and see Matt standing there dressed nice.

"Wow, you look amazing! Not that you don't usually look amazing because you do but...wow." Matt said as soon as I opened the door.

"Thanks. You don't look to bad yourself." I joked with him as my face turned as red as a tomato.

"Are you ready to have the best night of your life?" Matt asked as he took my hand and brought me to his car and opened the door for me.

" You know I can open my own door."

"Just get in the car."

I thought the car ride would be quiet and awkward but it was the opposite. the whole time we were talking and laughing about random things, them every once in a while I would try to get him to tell me where we were going.

"Can you just give me a hint?"

"No. You'll figure it out when we get there."

"What if I guess what it is? Will you tell me if I got it right?"

"You aren't going to guess it and no."

"Ok." I said as I stared at him and gave him the biggest puppy dog eyes I could.

"That doesn't work on me. and we're almost there so stop complaining."

"Fine."

Then we talked about more random stuff until we finally made it to our destination and I was a little surprised when we got there.

"What are we doing here?" I asked Matt as we got out of the car.
