Snow Season [COMPLETE]

Chapter 65

You took a quick shower together and got dressed. You walk out of your room and into the living room to see Matt sitting on the couch, reading the newspaper. His right ankle rests on his left knee and he slowly lifts his gaze till his eyes meet yours.

He's not gonna let this one go. You just know it.

He doesn't say anything, just looks at his watch ostentatiously with the cockiest smirk on his face. He slowly closes the newspaper, folds it in half and places it next to him.

You have no idea why but the silence and his whole vibe is killing you.

"Getting showered and dressed is quite the challenge carrying this load."

"Is that what you were screaming about? Not being able to get dressed? Sounded like you were really struggling...hard. " Matt has the smuggest grin on his face and you blush.

"Yes. That was exactly it."

"Getting her to put on some clothes is very very difficult these days." Now Elijah has the cockiest grin ever on his face.

"Must be so hard for you, too, E."

"You have no idea how hard."

They emphasize 'hard' every time while narrowing their eyes. A smug grin is plastered on both their faces.

"I swear to god, you two are impossible."

"Okay but seriously, though, how do you even... you know. With all of that." His eyes fall on your huge bump.

"It's a challenge, that's for sure. But believe me, there are ways."

"Lots of ways. Sideways for example."

You swat his arm and shake your head, he just laughs.

"Don't you have a meeting to get to?"

"You use me for my body and then you just kick me out, huh?"

"Yep. I'm ready for my froyo now."

"Ah, that's where I come in. Shall we?" He offers you his arm and you hook your hand in the crook of his arm.

"I'll call you when I'm done."

"Okay. Love you, bye."

"Love you, sweetheart. Enjoy your frozen yogurt."

"Will do."

Elijah gets in his car and you and Matt start walking.

"How's living together with Penelope going?"

"It's been fun. She's so sweet and she always has this girly enthusiasm about everything . I love living with her. Does she love living with me? Did she say anything to you?"

"Of course she loves it. Matt, she's crazy about you."

"I'm so crazy about her, Hails." He runs his hand thourgh his hair. "She's so funny and dorky and she loves hard. You know what I mean? There's no holding back."

"Penelope is as true and pure and genuine as they come. A little naive at times but that's what makes her so good. She'll always trust people and see the good in them."

"Yes, she's so pure and sincere."

"With Penelope I just know she'll never hurt me. She'll always be there for me. She's as loyal as a dog."

"Are you calling my girlfriend a dog?"

"Yes. A very cute and enthusiastic dog. A puppy."

"Yeah. She's much cleaner, though, than a dog."
