The Roommate: A Mathew Barzal Fanfiction

22. Mathew

In the last forty-five minutes Jade didn't stop from crying, smiling, thanking me, kissing me, interrogating me and complaining about our date tonight. She's totally not fund about these whole thing that I did, which was asking the hotel to close their rooftop bar for me and Jade's date night.

I am not gonna lie it's pretty expensive but I got a discount anyway since it is a newly opened bar and I promised to make a free promotion for it, so it's fine. Besides, I love Jade and I don't care if I spend a hundred bucks just for her.

I love her...

Jezz! I've never said I love you to a girl in such a long time. It's quite strange and I am always not the one who says it first, but Jade has done something in my heart and soul that I couldn't even describe. Thinking about not having her in my life is a horror.

Life is totally crazy. Sometimes, there are moments in your life where you didn't expect that will happen and then suddenly your life has changed.

My life became even more better when I met Jade and I will never ever get tired of showing her how much she means to me.

"Barzy?" She voiced out.

She is now resting her head on my lap after we finished our dinner few moments ago. We're both admiring the New York skyline as I play on her hair waiting for the clock to finally strike twelve.

"Hmmm?"

"How many girls have you done this thing with?"

I snickered. "Well, I've never went this extravagant before."

I honestly answered. I haven't done this before. I mean, I always brought dates on some fancy pants restaurant and I must say that I thought about that but Jade hates fancy stuff and hates attention.

If I let her go out with me on a random restaurant in the city there will surely be cameras of fans everywhere, I don't want her to freak out or anything. Not that I always get that kind of recognition on the streets like a superstar being followed by paparazzi constantly but there's always people who recognizes me and ask for a picture.

There's also some times where if I'm spotted with a girl, people who knows me pulls out there phones to take a photo and what not. I may act like I haven't noticed it but I do. Especially during those times where I dated models.

I don't want to let that happen when I am with Jade, she's still not used to the kind of life I have so I won't suddenly forced her to adjust right away. It takes more time, she needs more time to do that.

She chuckled.

"Then don't. You know I prefer staying in, watch movies and chill." She said showing her perfect smile at me. "You know, like what the millennials called Netflix and chill."

"You know you're a millennial too right?" I said and she shrugs sighing as she got off from my lap and stared at the gorgeous night view of the city in front of us.

"Check the time!" She said enthusiastically glancing at my wristwatch, timing, it's about two minutes before the clock strikes twelve.

I pulled her towards me so she'll be able to rest her back on my chest as we witness the fireworks that is about to blast on every building in front of us.

"Brace yourself." I said in a sing along.

Few seconds more and the sky is field with different colors hearing the inaudible shouts of people screaming happy new year on top of their lungs.

"Oh my god. This is so wonderful!" Jade mouthed. "Let's stay here forever."

I hugged Jade tighter than I already did.
