the complicated engagement - mattia p.

xxiv. beginning storyline

i woke up to loud noises like pans clattering and people talking. i yawned and stretched a bit before getting out off bed. i fixed my hair into a ponytail and walked out. just as i was about to go downstairs, i heard a yawn behind me. i turned around to see mattia rubbing his eyes.

"who's here?" he asked yawning once again.
"i dont know," i simply responded going downstairs.

i heard faint steps behind me but i just kept going towards the kitchen. i went to the kitchen and found alejandro, kairi, nessa, josh, kio, bryce, olivia, and oaklynn eating a bunch of food.

"what are all of you doing at my house?" i asked walking in.
"eating?" kairi said with a mouthful of food.
"assholes. i was trying to sleep. what time is it anyways?" i asked taking kio's mug of coffe and taking a sip.
"its nine," kio said checking his phone.
"i could be asleep, assholes," i mumbled into the mug.

"why are you so mean?" alejandro whined with a pout.
"because you all are assholes."
"maybe you are calling us a-holes because you are one," josh concluded.
"bryce get your 'no cussing' friend," i sighed sitting on a stool.

just as i looked up i saw mattia sitting next to kairi as oaklynn sat on his lap. i think both alejandro and kairi notice because they quickly cleared their throats and got everyone's attention.

"so whats the plan today?" alejandro awkwardly said rubbing his neck.
"we could go to the hype house," olivia spoke out and we all nodded our heads in agreement.
"okay then, im going to get ready," i smiled awkwardly and ran back up to my room.

i quickly changed into sweatpants and a lavender hoodie. i quickly sprayed some perfume went to the bathroom across the hall to brush my teeth and hair. just as i was going to my room i heard bryce yell at me to hurry up. i quickly put on my glasses and went downstairs.
just as i got to the living room, i got a call from micheal.

"ill be back," i muttered walking to the kitchen.
"hurry then!" bryce yelled.

"hello," i answered.
"hey tatum, can you and mattia come to my office today. we need to discuss something," micheal said happily.
"ok then, we will be on our way," i said unenthusiastic.
"great! see you soon."

i walked back into the living room to find them all on their phone. i cleared my throat to get their attention.
"mattia and i cant go," i sighed sitting next to alejandro.
"why?" oaklynn gasped with a bit of anger in her voice,
for some odd reason.
"thats a good question," i started, "mattia and i are working together. we kinda in a contract on where we are
supposed to be-"
"okay, i get it," oaklynn said quickly and put a frown on her face so mattia put all his attention to her.

"well, you guys can just meet us there later," kio said which made everyone say by and give me a hug, expect oaklynn since she was too busy hugging mattia, then they all left.

once they were all gone, i turned towards mattia and he was already on his phone.
"ready?" i asked getting my keys.
"yea, just wait a sec," he responded. i stood there while he kept on tapping on his phone.
"ok, lets go. do you want me to drive?" he asked as
we left the house.
"nope." i instantly replied getting into the car.

we drove as we listen to my miguel radio. i tapped the
steering wheel while humming. as we got there, i quickly got out and slammed my door and made my way to the building. i asked the receptionist for micheal and quickly got led to his office. he was on his phone as we sat in front of him.

"hey guys, sorry about the call. my daughter got into some mischiefs at school. anyways, ready to get to work!" he said clapping his hands which made me flinch slightly.
"what do you mean work, if you dont mind me asking," i asked.
"since you guys are finally getting along, we are going to discuss the engagement story so we can start planning the wedding," he smiled.
"oh," i sighed.

***

after about three hours of debating on what storyline we should use and when we were going to announce that we are going to get married, plus the engagement pictures.
as we got in the car i grew angry due to mattia getting on his phone to oaklynn quickly.

my knuckles started to turn pale due to me gripping the wheel.
"are you okay?" mattia asked turning off.
i didnt respond and kept on looking at the road.
he then started to tell me to stop so we could switch but it made me even angrier.

"mattia! shut up!" i screamed.
