Infatuated

"Hey, I don't know about you.. but I'm fucking hungry. Wanna stop somewhere and eat?" Matt turned his head in a silly, sassy way and made eye contact with me. "Damn, I thought you would never ask," I say laughing. "So where do you want to go beautiful?" He says taking my hand. Usually, I am so indecisive but today I knew exactly what I wanted. "This is going to be a bit weird but do you know if there is a steak and shake around here? I'm craving an Oreo shake oh my god." I ask kissing the back of Matt's hand. "Yep, there's one up the road baby girl, get whatever you want, on me." He says kissing the back of my hand and my heart starts to speed up.

We get to the Steak and Shake and we decide to go through the drive-through. "Okay Cat, what do you want to eat?" He asks and gets his wallet out to pay. "Um, just an Oreo shake and a medium fry. Will be fine." I say smiling at him. I haven't told him I was bulimic yet, honestly, I am so scared. I will tell him eventually but not now. "Hey um can I get a number 2 combo with a Sprite and a medium fry and an Oreo shake? Thanks." Matt says to the intercom thing. We drive to the window for Matt to pay and he does.

I cannot stop thinking about him and how amazing he is. I love everything about him, even the bad. I love him. Wow, I said it. He just makes me fall more in love with him every time I see him or think about him. God, I want to marry that man.

The nice lady at the window gave us our food and we drive into the nearest parking spot. "Hey, can I put on some Mac DeMarco? I feel like it's fitting." He asks and I laugh. "Of course, how about Let My Baby Stay?" I say. "That sounds perfect!" He says and puts it on. "Hey, I just want to say thanks for everything... I mean you even took me to a hospital? And these painkillers aren't doing shit. But I just want to say thank you for being a really good boyfriend." I say blushing and taking a bite out of my fry after. "Katalina, you are my girlfriend.. or someday even more.. it is my job to protect and love you. I am so lucky to have you." Matt says while caressing my face moving some hair strands behind my ear. "Is this the part where you kiss me?" I ask hoping it is. "Only if you want it to be." He says and I nod. We both lean in and we kiss, this time for a while. This is like something out of a fucking fairytale. It starts to rain.

After about 5 minutes of us making out, I pull away and I caress Matt's face. "You're such a dork," I say. "Uh like you aren't?" Matt says then stuffs a fry into my mouth. I chew on it because it's delicious then Matt kisses me on the cheek. "Hey... um is there any way you might want to spend the night at my house tonight? It's just you have a broken leg and I want to make sure you're okay?" He asks and the happiest feeling I ever felt took over my whole body. "Of course," I say and I hug him. "Great... wanna head over there?" He asks. "Sure I can eat my fries on the way." I agreed with him, and we started driving to the house.

...

We pull into the driveway of the house and Matt parks the car. Then he gets out of the car and gets my crutches from the back seat, then shutting the back door. "Here you go my love," He says while giving me my crutches. "Thanks, mi amor." I say back and he is in shock. I get my trash and things out of the car. "Wait.. you can speak Spanish?" Matt says still in shock. I crutch up to the front door, with Matt by my side. "Yeah, I mean I did live in Guadalajara for a couple years and I'm Hispanic?" I say laughing after I finish my sentence, Matt is still in shock. Matt knocks on the door and Kevin answers, "OH MY GOD MY POOR BABY!!" He says letting me inside the house stopping Matt from coming in. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER." I hear Kevin say to Matt. "Respect my mother, 'spect my sister, 'spect these women." I hear Joba reciting Matt's line from across the room. I crutch to the beige couch and sit on it once again. Matt explains everything to Kevin and he lets him inside finally.

"Hey, Matt did you tell her about tonight?" Joba says. "Shit. No." Matt says sitting next to me. "What's going on tonight?" I asked looking up at Matt in curiosity. "Um, once a week we have movie night. Is that cool with you?" Matt says looking down at me. "Tonight we're watching A Quiet Place if you're in for it," Kevin says leaning on the couch behind me and Matt. "Sure why not?" I say getting off of the couch and hoping to my crutches. "What do you need babe?" Matt asks getting up immediately. "I was going to put on my pajamas but then I realize, I don't have any," I say laughing at myself. "If you want, I have some big T-shirts you can wear?" Matt says walking towards me making sure I have my balance. "I would love to," I say and Matt guides me to his bedroom.

I walk into his bedroom and surprisingly it is really neat and tidy. "Wow, I love your bedroom," I say sitting down on his California King. "Thanks." Matt glances and smiles at me. "I cleaned it before I left." He walks about to his closet and looks in it for some t-shirts I can wear. "Yep, this is the one." He says pulling out a blank white t-shirt and handing it to me. "Here you go, it's going to look so good on you." He says smiling at me. Matt turns around facing the wall, "Hey, Matt?" I say. "Yes?" He responds still facing the wall. "You don't have to face the wall." I start to blush. "It's not like you won't ever see me naked?". "You sure Kat?" He says. "Yep," I say and I start to take off my GOLF hoodie and out of the corner of my eye, I see Matt staring at me, especially my chest. He starts to bite his lip which makes me giggle. I put on his shirt and I start to take off my jeans and that's when Matt turns away. "You can look now," I say taking off my jeans. "Okay," Matt says and looks at me standing there in my black and white polka dot panties and his long white t-shirt and his jaw drops. "You are so fucking beautiful, come here." He says walking towards me giving me a hug and kissing me all over my neck and face. I feel so loved and I fucking adore it. "Do you want one of my boxers? I know they aren't shorts but you already took off your jeans and-" "Yeah, sure what kinds do you have?" I cut him off and walk over to him. "I have plaid which I think would look so good with the white shirt." I honestly didn't think he'd have good fashion taste and know what and how to match things. "Sure, I'll take those," I say and he hands me the boxers from a drawer close to his closet and I put them on.

"God how the fuck are you so beautiful Katalina?" He says and comes up to me putting his hands on my waist. "I could say the same thing to you, Champion," I say and he kisses me on his forehead. "Can I pick you up and carry you out of here?" He asks and I agree. He picks me up bridal style and carries me out to the living room where everyone except for Kevin, Kiko, and Jon. "I ordered some pizza," Dom says putting microwave popcorn in the microwave allowing it to cook. "Cool what kind?" I say while I am still in Matt's arms. "Pepperoni and Cheese," Dom says while Matt lays me down gently on the couch giving me a kiss on my forehead. "Where's Kev, Kiko, and Jon?" I ask everyone in the living room. "They just left to get some supplies for tonight," Jabari says. "You know candy, blankets, shit like that." "Cool. When does movie night start?" I asked while I texted Ian hoping for him to bring me back a Kit Kat. "In an hour." Ciarán said coming out of his room with a bunch of blankets to set up for movie night. "Is it cool if I get some rest? All the medicine is making me sleepy." I asked everyone. "Of course beautiful." Matt says and carries me to his room.

We walked into his room and layed me in his bed making sure I was comfy and layered a thick, fluffy blanket over top of me. "Matt?" "Yes, Katalina?" "I am so sorry that I've been making you run around and do everything for me. You're the best boyfriend ever." "Katalina, don't apologize, It's my job to be the best boyfriend you can possibly ever have." I pulled the blanket over my shoulders and positioned my body in a fetal position. "Can you come lay with me?" I say shivering because of the cold temperature in his room. "I would love to." Matt says and I scoot over on the right side of the bed making room for Matt. Matt lays on the left side of the bed facing each other. "Come here." He says in a cute whiny voice. I do as he says and now my face is in his chest and my unbroken leg is straddling his. "It's okay, baby. Sleep." He says in a calming voice and I fall asleep in his arms.
