the complicated engagement - mattia p.

xxi. house warming party

i woke up with a headache. i groaned and turned around to find an empty bed. i got up and went to the closet to get a
hoodie. i went towards mattia's closet and got his nike hoodie i was going to steal. i walked downstairs and went towards the kitchen. i saw mattia, kairi, and alejandro earing cereal.

"good morning assholes," i started then turned
towards kairi, "hey kai."
"how rude," alejandro said like a kid.

i went towards mattia and hugged his waisted then placed ny head on his chest. he wrapped his arms around me.
"are you okay?" he asked looking down at me.
i shook my head no and laid my head on his chest once again.
"you cant be sick now, tate! today is the party," alejandro said getting up from his chair and placing his bowl in the dishwasher.

"today?" i asked as all three of then nodded, "okay fine, but i get to invite people as well!"
"i already added all your friends to the invite list," mattia said letting go of me and grabbing his phone.
"even nick? i havent seen him in almost a month," i asked.
"yes. all of sway and hype are coming," he replied.
"ok then, when is the party going to start?" i said walking towards the fridge.
"we were thinking around 5 pm," kairi yawned laying
his head on alejandro's shoulder.
"dont start kairi," alejandro stood up,
which made kairi laugh.

i served myself a bowl of fruit and toasted a bagel before leaving the kitchen. i went back to my room and laid in bed with my food. i played thats 70s show on the tv as i scrolled through instagram and ate. by the time mattia came in the room it was already noon.

"hey tater," he said taking the bowl off the bed and laying down with me.
"hey mater, whats up?" i asked sitting up.
"i had to get up at six to pick up kairi," he yawned laying his head on my lap.
"poor you," i giggled running my fingers through his hair.
"you know, i havent watched this show," he added.
"well if your going to live with me your going to have to watch it!" i exclaimed, " im rewatching it anyways."

we stayed in the same place until it was around 2, so mattia got up and started to get ready. i went to our closet to see mattia changing his shirt. i looked through my clothes, finally i decided to put on a white tank top and some jean shorts. i went to the bathroom and quickly brushed my teeth and hair. i went back to the closet to see mattia putting on his shoes.

"do you have a hoodie i can borrow? all of mines are dirty," i asked looking towards him.
"sure, but i better see it again," he said.
"yea okay," i laughed picking a plain black hoodie.
i took a whiff of it, which smelled the best.

"cmon, we still got to get food and other things ready," he said leaving me alone.

i quickly slipped on my white vans and went downstairs.
i went to the living room to find a bowl of chips, so i
grabbed a few.
"hey! thats for the guest!" kairi exclaimed taking the
bowl in his arms.
"kairi, let her eat. it our house anyways," mattia said walking towards kairi and taking the bowl from him and placing it on the coffee table.

we turned our heads towards the door due to a knock. i went to go open the door and found nick, ryland, tony, and ondreaz at the door.
"hey guys!" i smiled giving them a hug.
"hey tate, long time no talk," nick said as the other walked towards mattia.
"i know! i had to go to new jersey then my dad got into an accident then we got a house, its been a mess," i sighed peading nick towards the couch.
"well we have to catch up before more people to get here anyways, so spill," he said interested.

***

after an hour, a bunch of people were scattered around the house, even outside in our backyard. at this point i had lost nick and mattia. all my friends were all drinking or doing something else while i sat on a step from the staircase.

i scanned the living room and saw sway members, oaklynn, and some members dancing around. i decided to go check up on everything and get a drink. i went towards the kitchen and got a soda from the fridge. i leaned against the counter and drank my soda until i got interrupted by kairi.

"whats- oh gosh, cmon! lets go dance!" he exclaimed burping half way through his sentence.
"no, im good. but do you know where mattia is?" i asked.
"i think he went- upstairs. ya know- he is one man- whore." he said while burping.
"okay thanks, kai," i said patting his back, "oh and instead of more alcohol, drink some water."

i went upstairs and saw ryland and nick talking in the hallway with red cups in their hands.

"hey, tate. i dont think its such a good idea to go in that room you know," nick said stopping me.
"why not? its my room anyways-" i cut myself off once i opened the door.
