HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!

Chp 34

"And we danced all night to the best song ever
We knew every line, now I can't remember
How it goes but I know that I won't forget her
'Cause we danced all night to the best song ever."

MATTHEW'S POV

"Well what to do? I'm different than all other's aren't I?" Kelly plays along and puts her hand around my neck, surprising me

"You sure are different." I say and wrap my hands around her waist and judging from her eyes, she was as surprised as I was from the move I made

Then Hips Don't Lie by Shakira starts playing and she starts to sway her hips on the beat of the music and I follow her lead.

Damn, this girl knows what she's doing!

I don't know why and how but this right here, precious dancing with my arms around her just feels so fucking perfect. It's as if she was made to fit between my arms. I don't know what's happening between us coz there was a time when we didn't even want to even see each other's faces but look at us now.

It's as if she makes me let loose of all the worries surrounding me and let's my inner self out.

"You comfortable, precious?" I ask her, in case she didn't want to be in my arms anymore and regretted making the move she did

On the inside, I hoped she'd say she wants to be here, with me. I don't even know why I hoped for that.

"I wouldn't want to be in this position with anybody else." she says with a tone of shyness in her voice making my heart jump

I was hundred percent sure she was blushing but I couldn't see it because of the dark.

"I hope you're okay with it too?" she asks but I can sense the hopefulness in her voice

"I'm the most comfortable when you're around me, precious." I voice my thoughts and smile at her when she looks up into my eyes and smiles back

I pull her closer to me, making us more comfortable while she tightens her arms around my neck. I could feel her heartbeat increasing with our proximity and I knew she could feel my heartbeats doing the same but neither of us pulled away.

And I liked it. I don't know why or if it is okay to like this but I did.

Then Kelly puts her head on my shoulder, still moving her hips at the beats while I wrapped my arms around her waist, securely.

I don't know but somehow this position makes me oddly calm and at peace.

I have no clue on what is happening but whatever it is, it feels good.

There was a beautiful smile never leaving her beautiful face and her perfect soft and delicate lips.

Kiss her. A voice in my head said.

No! I nearly screamed at the voice.

Why hell am I even having those thoughts?

After a couple minutes the song Best Song Ever by One Direction comes up and precious and I pull away from each other and just in time our friends come towards us and we all go crazy at the lyrics. 

We were all just jumping around and having the fun to the fullest. I glanced over to Kelly only to see her jumping and laughing and enjoying the night. And the same went on while a couple more songs came up.

After a few songs, I could see the tiredness on Kelly's face.

"Wanna go sit down for a little while, precious?" I ask 

"Oh god, you're a life savior." she says with a dramatic sigh, making me shake my head and chuckle

I tell her to go grab a table for us while I go and get both of us water.

"Hey." I say when I get back, place the water on the table and sit on the chair beside her

"Hi." she greets back, sipping the water and keeps her phone back inside her clutch 

"Can I ask you something?" she asks so very sweetly that there was no chance my reply would be a no

"Sure." I say and take a sip of my water

"What did you mean by 'it's the same situation everywhere' back at school when we had the conversation about Jay acting weird?" she asks, leaving me surprised as to how she still remembers

"It's nothing you should worry about, precious." I assure her

"Just know that I'm here to listen to you if you ever wanna say something." she says with a warm smile that instantly melts my heart

This is what I liked most about Kelly. She never forces me to tell her anything. All she ever says is that she's there if I want to ever want to talk to her. She's literally the most caring person that I've ever known.

"It's just that it's the same for me at my house too. My dad has warned me to not get into even the slightest of trouble now or else there would be consequences." I finally tell her

It's not the whole thing but I just wanted her to know that I trusted her.

I don't know why. I just did.

"Relax Matt, I know you'll keep up with your words. Don't let the pressure get to your head, okay? I'm not saying that you should completely ignore what your dad said but I'm just saying that don't stress about it." she says in her ever so calming voice

"You don't know my dad, precious. He never believes a word I say."  I say and stop before I spill everything to her

"That's true but let's look at it this way. Your dad asked you to stay away from trouble right? Then stay away from it and show it to him that you're a man of your words. Let your actions speak for you and not your words." she says and gives my hand an assuring squeeze 

Her words make me want to believe everything she said. The little squeeze she gave my hand made me forget all my worries and just do as she says. 

"How do you always know the right thing to say?" I ask and she only shrugs

She knew there was more to my story than what I let her know but she didn't push it and I liked it like that.

I know I could trust Kelly but this was all happening too soon and I needed to be clear about my own thoughts first.

The rest of our gang comes back from the dance floor and they're either drunk or are dead tired so we all decide to go home.

I dropped Kelly back at her apartment and left to go to my own house.

Today was one hell of a day.

But a great one, nonetheless.

What is it about each other that they attract each other like magnets?

How come Kelly is the person who makes Matt feel comfortable?
