My Love Story (Matthew Espinosa Fanfiction)

Chapter 10

*Matthew's POV*

Shawn texted me to come downstairs for dinner. The whole meal I was worried that Riley was going to pull me aside and talk to me . Thankfully throughout the meal we all just talked and laughed like nothing happened. But right when I got my dessert she said

"Umm Matt, can I talk to you?" Oh god this can't be good. I stood up and we went out to the hall to talk.

"Did you tell Carter we made out?" Riley said.

"What, why would I do that?" I replied.

"I don't know why you would do that. Why did you?" she said.

"It wasn't because he was on top of you. I can tell you that for sure." I said. 

"Why would you care if he was on top of me. You don't even like me." said Riley.

"What gave you the impression I don't like you?"

"Maybe the fact that you never talk to me, it's always the other guys. Or the fact that you didn't even want to tell me your real name." Riley replied.

"I don't talk to you because I'm nervous to mess up in front of you. And I didn't tell you my real name because I got lost in your stupid beautiful eyes. They were sparkling in the light and I couldn't remember anything about anything. You make me so crazy. I've never had this feeling before so I don't know how to handle it. I thought maybe not talking to you would make the feelings go away but apparently it just made them stronger." I said forgetting she was even there.

Riley smiled at me, blushed a little and gave me a warm hug. "It's okay Matt we can be great friends." she said. 

"Friends" I said. She kissed me on the cheek and we walked back in. 

"Dude you got a little something on your face right there." said Jack G.

"Oops, my bad." I said. I wiped Riley's lipstick off of my cheek while winking at Carter. Riley giggled at my comment and I smiled. I then turned to Shawn who gave me a playful death stare. We all finished up and went upstairs to Cams room.

When we got upstairs we decided to have a movie night. Riley sat between me and Jack J and we snuggled the entire movie. Halfway through the movie I wasn't even watching it anymore. I was preoccupied with playing with her hair as she layed on me and watched the movie.
