What he wanted

Part 4: back home

I opened the door to find my mom sitting at the kitchen table. "Heyyy mom! umm how was the show?" I asked

"Sadie Juliet Taylor! Do you know what time it is? you said you'd be home by 8" she yelled

"I know mom and I'm so sorry I lost track of time" I replied. She sat there looking at me, i could tell the excuse i gave her wasn't good enough so i improvised "umm...the traffic home was also bad and getting out of the park was a nightmare."

"And it took you two hours to drive 20 miles?" she questioned. I stood there completely silent.
"We will have this talk in the morning, go upstairs and go to sleep. We have church in first things tomorrow" She demanded. I ran upstairs and changed into spandex and a tank top.
I sat on my bed and opened TikTok. I was scrolling in the fyp and a video of Mattia popped up. I was surprised he had so many followers, and didn't even mention it. I turned on Netflix and started watching All American when I got a text from Mattia.

                Mattia P
mattia: Hey

mattia: i had a good ass time today
sadie: yea me too
mattia: we should hang out again soon
sadie: are you asking me out?

mattia: That's fine, we'll figure something out
saide: wait i ask you something
mattia: sure
sadie: why are you asking me out if you have a girlfriend?
mattia: i don't have a girlfriend
saide: but your friend said you did back at the diner
mattia: he said it as a joke because I used to be in a bad toxic relationship.
saide: oh okay, sorry brought it up
mattia: its okay

We continued to text for a while but I ended up falling asleep.
