102 (A Matt Healy Fanfic)

Chapter 11

// why don't you figure my heart out //

When I finally woke up from what felt like the longest sleep of my life, I opened my eyes to see Matty gazing out the window of his apartment, with a cigarette in his hand. He also appeared to be muttering words to someone on the phone.

"George, mate, you don't understand. This isn't just some girl whose bones I want to jump. I want to listen to her talk, and sleep in the same bed as her, and find out what scares the shit out of her, what she's afraid of losing." He yammered in to the phone.

Did he really mean all of those things? I had known that he cared about me, but not to that great and deep of an extent. Me, being the giant moment-ruined I am, just had to loudly sneeze, helping Matty come to the realization that I had woken up. After hanging up the phone, he came and sat beside me on the bed.

"Bless you." He said with a grin.

After I didn't say anything, his face dissolved in to a frown.

"Please tell me that you weren't awake for that entire conversation."

"I don't get why you wouldn't want me to hear it, it's not like it was bad or anything." I replied.

"You literally just got away from your asshole ex-boyfriend, I'm pretty sure you don't want to be pushed in to yet another relationship." He mumbled.

"If you think that I'm pretty sure you haven't learned much about me at all in these past couple days. I want to do anything, but only with you." I said before leaning in to kiss him.

Although he seemed slightly surprised, he almost instantaneously began kissing me back.

"What the hell am I going to do with you?" He stifled through a laugh.

"I think you could start by helping me take a shower, I'm covered in more makeup than I knew was possible."

"Sure, I'll start the water for you and set out a towel, love." He said.

"Matty you know that's not what I meant, right?"

His face suddenly turned from happy and at peace to serious.

"You've got to be fucking with me if you think that I'm going to have a shower with you right after some scum tried to take advantage of you just hours ago. I'm going to make you wait, for everything, I want you to be sure that we're right for each other and I want you to be totally comfortable with me, showing me every side of you." He said solemnly.

As I began pouting, he started talking again.

"You have to know that it's taking every ounce of self control that I possess to not strip down and go in with you, but you'll thank me later for this, I promise. None of this is caused by lack of want."

He really did have stellar timing of when to be this open, chivalrous guy.

"Matty, baby, at least talk to me while I shower, or else I'll be sooo bored."

"Fine." He muttered.

As I began washing my face in the shower, Matty ranted on about his god complex. For a self-proclaimed atheist, he sure had a hell of a lot to say about god. It was all so fascinating to me though, his thoughts and words made him illecebrous.

Once I got out of the shower, Matty wrapped a towel around my body, of course with his eyes closed, and kissed my head.

"You're so beautiful." He said.

(A/N: I know this chapter was kind of short and not the best, I just haven't worked on writing this in a while! I'm so sorry that you guys have had to wait so long for another chapter but hopefully once school starts I'll get in to a better updating pattern. Thank you so so much to anyone that reads or votes for this story, you guys are the best ever and it means a lot to me :) Brittany x)
