the complicated engagement - mattia p.

xii. another argument

i sat in bed with the covers over my head. i was trying so hard to fall asleep but my mind was stuck on mattia kissing another girl. i know that we are a fake couple, but i thought we were finally getting along, like relationship type. i then heard the door close from upstairs, so i quickly fixed myself and closed my eyes. i heard multiple foots steps coming downstairs, so just sat up.

"hey tate," alejandro and kairi whispered as they sat down a laughing mattia on the couch.
"what happened?" i asked as i walked towards them.
"he drank a little too much, but we have to get going," they told me as they gave me a side hug then left.
"goodness, mattia. you reek of alcohol," i said as i led him towards the bed.
"hey, fake girlfriend," he laughed then burped.

"shut up mattia. lay down and take of your clothes," i told him as i went to go get my water bottle and aspirin pills from the bathroom.
"ooo, kinky," he burped.
he took off his clothes and laid down.
"tia, drink this," i tried to hand him the pills but he didnt answer, " pero apurate!"

he quickly took them from me while i went to the other side to lay down.
"tate," tia whispered, so i kept my eyes closed and went silent.
"i really like you, i know i keep doing stuff that make you upset but im stupid. im sorry that you have to go through all of this," he sincerely said as he wrapped his arm around me then kissed my cheek. i couldnt help but feel butterflies in my stomach.

i tried to get some sleep, but there was no hope. so i got my phone and went to instagram to see that mattia cheating is all over my tags. i clicked on the video. everytime i look at it, i kept realizing that mattia and i will never become a real couple.
i heard a yawn come out of mattia as he looked up to see me on my phone.

"what time is it?" he asked as he stood up.
i checked the time to see that it was 3 in the morning.
"3 am," i blankly said putting my phone down without turning it off.
"can i see your phone real quick," he said reaching it as i tried to take it away from him.
"oh, tate i am so sorry. i was drunk and-" he started to ramble on but then i cut him off.
" look, its fine. its not like it will affect me emotionally. but, i did think we had something," i confessed as i got up from the bed.
"me too. its just-" tia started.
"no mattia. im tired of this. ill just talk with micheal tomorrow. and ill see you at school," i walked towards and dumped all my stuff in my suitcase and zipped it up.

"where are you going?" he asked as he took my suitcase from me.
"i dont know about you, but i am absolutely tired of this. every time somethings goes right, one of us have to ruin it. ill be at a hotel so dont worry," i replied to him and i took my luggage.
"what about the contract?" mattia asked another question.
"well, i hope you have a wonderful career on the social media side," i sarcastically smiled at him and left.

i went outside without waking anyone. i went to the sidewalk and called an uber. i waited a few minutes for it to come. once it came, i felt a grip on my hand.

i turned around to see mattia.
he looked into my eyes, then the unknown happened

"tatum, would you go on a date with me?"
