Heartburn (Matt Tuck/OFC)

Chapter 4

Arial's Pov

Getting up the next morning was hard to say the least.

I was sad and tired, and I had to look at Matt with the words "she's like my sister" floating around in my head. Being the 'sister' was way harder than being in the 'friend-zone'....by far.

School was boring and monotonous, as my usual school life always was. Luckily I didn't see Matt at school, though I did see that Roxy chick, and she said hi to me while I just sat there smiling, acting like I didn't want to punch her pretty little face.

After school Matt went home alone. I went to Nat's house to work on a history project along with some other girl named Lacey.

I was quietly doing my part of the project when Lacey felt the need to speak.

"So uh....you know Matt..?" She blurted out.

I nodded and shrugged, not paying much attention to her.

"Are you two....?" She started, but I turned to look at her in a way she knew meant it was time to shut up.
She hadn't said anything, but only because I didn't let her. I wasn't the most emotionally stable person at the moment, so it didn't take much to break me.
And just like that I suddenly hated everyone.

I really did. Why did people have to be so annoying and stupid..??

Why did Matt have to be so annoying and stupid?

I felt like going home and crying.

The project wasn't due until the next week, so I decided I would do it later.

What did I do?

I went home and cried.

Luckily for me the boys weren't home. They had gone to pick up Matt's parents from the airport.

I was excited to see them though, they were like my second parents.

*cough*futureinlaws*cough*

I sighed and rolled up into a ball. Even though I'd said I wasn't going to cry over some guy, I did. I mean, it wasn't jut any guy, it was Matt.

After crying like a baby, I fell asleep.

I woke up, feeling someone's hand going through my hair.

I opened my eyes, but the room was pitch black.

In fact, there were no signs of any lights at all in the house.

I sat up and noticed I had been laying in this persons lap.

"Padge..?" I guessed.

"Shh...everyone's asleep, it's almost midnight." I immediately recognized that voice.

"Matt....??Why aren't you asleep?" I whispered.

"Can't." He said simply.

"What are you doing here..?" I asked. What could he possibly be doing on MY bed at midnight..?

I was seriously dying to know.

"Follow me." He whispered in my ear.

We both climbed down from the bed, being especially careful and quiet to not wake my brother up.

He grabbed my hand and lead me to what I figured was the back yard.

Once we werr outside, he let go of my hand. The moonlight lit up his face, and I marveled at the perfection of his features. He turned to look at me, but his face showed no emotion at all.

"Arial..." He whispered as he positioned himself in front of me so his face was only inches from mine.

I was speechless. I couldn't even think straight.

Then he did the unexpected, though it was something I had been waiting for forever.

He cupped my face with his right hand and rested the left one on my hip. He pulled me towards him, closing the gap between us.

His soft lips brushed against mine lightly, again and again.

He softly nibbled on my bottom lip. I was surprised I was still conscious.

Then he pulled away.

"You should get to bed, it's late." He whispered with his one hand still on my hip.

He then bent down and kissed me once again before disappearing back inside the house, leaving me there, to be the complete mess I was by then, all by myself.

What.The.Actual.Fuck.
