Changed

Chapter 11

We spent the rest of the day walking around, kissing, holding hands and becoming a real couple. He holds me so gently. I can't even imagine this as a reality. After our afternoon at the park, we decide to go to dinner . He takes me to a old diner on fifth street in downtown L.A. To get there, we boarded a train and traveled one long hour. I slept against his chest while he rubbed my nose making me fall fast asleep. Dinner was wonderful, we sat together and had a meal like best friends. We go to a outdoor movie, the drive in. We see 'The Ring Two'. It was a great movie and all I could do was scream and laugh into Mathew's chest. We get into Matt's car and he leans over to me and lightly brushes my cheek and whispers that he loves me. Suddenly, a dumb teenager breaks our moment by throwing eggs and a full bag of popcorn onto our windshield. We burst out into laughter and Matt tells the boys off.

When we arrive at my house, our house, Matt lifts me out of the car and carries me bridal style upstairs. He lays me down on the bed and brushes my lips gently with his.

"I have waited so long to be able to look at you like this," he whispers.

"Matt, I love you," I giggle.

He shuts my door with his foot and lays on the bed, next to me. With one smooth move, he cradles his body over mine and whips off his shirt. Next, his shoes.

With deep, panting breaths he asks,"Jessie, why do you like me?"

"I can't believe you just asked me that," I stated moments later," You want to know why I like you? In my eyes, you couldn't be more perfect. You work so hard to protect me. I know that I can trust you. You make me laugh all the time. With every swift breath you take, I am mesmerized by you Matt. You are perfect. Your eyes and body are perfect. I can't believe you like me. I love you. More than you could ever imagine," I say while lining his chest with my finger.
