ch. 15 ; just a filler

Jade

i struggled to adjust my eyes to the light. i looked around a little confused.

oh wait.

oh, yeah, i remember now.

i sat up, removing myself from matthew's embrace.

sadly.

i stretches my legs out before looking back at matt. his face looked peaceful. his mouth was slightly open, a few snores slipping. his hands were now resting on the rock since i removed them.

shit, i never realized how cold it was till now. how did i survive a winter night in the park. i mean it is california. but.

i was a little lost in my thoughts but then matt came out of nowhere with a,

"good morning,"

i looked back at him. he was rubbing his eyes and his voice was so raspy. he had a sleepy look on his face, it was adorable. he's adorable.

"i didn't mean for us to spend the night here," he chuckled.

"well i'm glad we did."

i'm glad i did? a bitch is freezing to death.

he only looked back and responded with a smile. i started to hop off the boulder as i waited for him to also come down.

his hair was messy. mine probably was too, but his messy hair really just added to his attractiveness. god damn matthew.

"stare much?" he wiggled his eyebrows hopping off the rock.

"what, no!" i denied.

"mhm."

"let's go to the car before people start wondering where we are."

"as you wish, my lady," matthew bowed before leading the way to the car.

-

"we should hang out today," matthew suggested.

"dude, we just hung out!"

"it'll be fun!" he insisted.

"i don't think i've spent a day without you, here."

"good. i know i make your life more interesting."

"didn't know we were joking around now," i teased smiling at my own joke.

"well, what are you going to do besides hang out with me?" he asked as if he was the only important thing in my life.

"uh let's see... hang out with kristen, dylan, theo, ryan, jax, mom, dad, your mo-," he cut me off.

"okay okay i get it."

i sat back smiling knowing that i would probably end up hanging out with him later.

-

"jade! where were you, sweetheart?" my mother dragged me into her arms.

"i was so worried about you!" theo added on.

"yeah, we were looking everywhere for you and calling you. then ryan over here finally decided to tell us you were with matthew," my dad told me gesturing towards ryan.

"i didn't know you were looking for her!" ryan retorted.

"well, it's good to have you back! matthew, answer your phone when we call you. we were really scared," mr. espinosa started to pull him into a hug as matthew mouthed, 'help me."

-

i just finished my shower and i was now putting on my really comfy pajamas. some plaid pajama pants and a white shirt. my feet are so cold right now, i wish i had fuzzy slippers.

"come downstairs!" matthew knocked on my door.

what, why? of course those words didn't escape my mouth because matt wasn't even outside my door anymore, he hurried back downstairs.

what's happening downstairs?

well maybe you should move your legs and find out for yourself, jade. yeah i really should.

i brought myself out of my room and began to walk downstairs. there was nobody in the kitchen, but as soon as i reached the living room i heard chatter and laughter. there was everybody! it was all of matthew's family and mine.

"jade, finally!" kristen gestured me to sit next to her.

"what is all of this?" i asked looking at everybody getting comfortable on the floor and on the couch.

"well usually every friday, the espinosas love to throw a crazy rager and have a family movie night," ryan answered for her.

"you're just watching movies back and forth," dylan laughed at me.

"what's today's movie choice?" i asked leaning my head on kristen's shoulder.

"kill bill, both volumes," matt replied jumping into the seat next to me.

"matthew, jade, could you both bring the popcorn, snacks, and drinks out?" mrs. espinosa asked us kindly.

"mom i just sa-" no no matty, no bring disrespectful to your mother.

"of course!" i began to take matthew's hand and dragged him into the kitchen.

"grab the sodas and waters," i ordered him as i poured the popcorn into four separate bowls.

"do one more bowl!" matthew instructed me before going to the living room to hand out the drinks.

"why?" i asked concentrated on finding the butter for the popcorn.

"for you and i to share."

-

so we had a bowl to ourselves and matthew purposely made sure it was bigger than everybody else's. i was sandwiched between matt and kristen. only mrs. espinosa and my mom were watching except for the fact that they weren't really watching, more like gossiping. matthew and i were up too, his hand was resting on my thigh, and i kinda just left it there.

it's something about his touch. it just makes you feel those butterflies in your stomach and your heart turning.

i did make sure to put the popcorn bowl above his hand though. i didn't want anybody especially kristen to see his hand there. mostly because i know they would tease me about it for days.

"i'm pretty sure we watched this in like seventh grade," i whispered to matthew recognizing the bride (the main character) only ten minutes into the SECOND movie.

"you just got that?" matthew chuckled while putting his hood from his sweatshirt up.

i just have him a goofy smile and leaned my head on his shoulder. he gave my thigh a slight squeeze before whispering 'goodnight bestie' in my ear. because that's all we were.

a couple of besties.
