Forever and always (Matt Espinosa)

chapter: 50

Matt's POV

Britney pressed her nose against the cold glass of the store's window. I tapped her nose from the other end and I walked through the door to meet up with her. I intertwined our fingers and we walked around Dash. Brit let go and walked over to a rack of clothes.

I held up a hanger with Kourtney's signature white bikini. "Get this one, babe, you'll look hot." I fake modeled it causing her to laugh.

I heard cameras click and people talking louder than they were before. I looked towards the front door. Kourtney and Khloe walked through the crowd of paparazzi and went towards the back. Britney turned to me and I held up the swimsuit in front of her.

"Matt, this is so not even my color. White would make me look so pale." She told me looking through the other rack.

"You're wrong. This is your color." I protested and held up the white one.

"Doll, white is so not your style." Kourtney said from behind me.

I turned around and started to freak out. "Told you Britney! White is so not your color!" I threw the suit at her and backed up into the shelf. She laughed and helped me up.

Kourtney reached into the rack and pulled out a gorgeous black stringed suit. "This would look so amazing on you."

"Oh my God, you're Kourtney, I love you so much!"

She handed the suit to Britney and I looked at her. "It's gorgeous, thank you so!" She told her and Kourtney smiled.

"She's my girlfriend." I said pointing to Britney, stuttering.

"She's my girlfriend." Scott came up, as if on cue, and put his arm around Kourtney.

Britney looked over at me and my jaw was down to the floor and she laughed at me. "Please tell me this is a dream." I whispered to her.

I took Britney to the checkout to buy the suit. After I payed for her suit I turned to walk out the store but I tripped over a bucket of free Dash water bottles causing it to spill everywhere.

Everyone looked at me and Britney tried covering her mouth to laugh. "I'm taking a water!" I yelled grabbing a bottle and running out of the store with Britney.

She found a Panera nearby and wanted to have lunch so I went in and ordered her usual: Mac and Cheese, panera chips, an apple, and a frozen mocha. I ordered mine and got the tracker device and found a table outside.

"You're so weird." She told me laughing.

"Well we can be weird together." I leaned across the table to kiss her.

When I pulled away there was a little girl in a red raincoat and yellow rubber boots standing by my chair.

"Are you lost?" Brit asked her but she didn't respond.

"Can you watch this for a minute?" She handed me a yellow dog leash and I slowly grabbed it.

The girl walked away around the corner and came back a minute later with teary eyes.

"What happened?" I asked her and she rubbed her nose.

"I lost lunch!" She started crying and Britney looked as if she didn't know what to do next.

"Do you want me to buy you some lunch?" I asked her. She shook her head.

"No!" She screamed. "Lunch is my duck!"

Britney started laughing. "Where did you lose your...duck?" I asked hesitantly.

"At the bar." The little girl replied with a straight face.

"Uhm alright then, where are your parents?" I asked her once again.

She looked at me for a minute and didn't say anything. Instead, she just screamed. Legit screamed. An ear piercing scream.

I woke up and sat up quickly breathing heavily.

I tried getting Britney's attention by smacking her arm but she wasn't in bed. I got out of bed and walked down the hall to the living room where she was eating cold pizza and watching keeping up with the kardashians.

"Babe." I said and she didn't look up.

"Hm?" She asked/ said taking a bite of her pizza.

I sat down next to her and she paused Netflix. "Where's the little girl?" I asked her and she looked at me.

"What little girl?"

"The little girl outside Panera?" I suggested but she just stared at me. "Come on, you know what I'm talking about."

"No Matt, I don't." She chuckled.

"There was a little girl with yellow rain boots!" I told her and she looked like she didn't believe me at all.

She started laughing at me and I got mad. "Thanks Brit." I crossed my arms.

"Babe, that was a dream." She kissed my cheek and laid down on my lap. "We go back to Cali today. Are you excited?"

"No I want to be in Miami forever with you."
