"Like a starship speeding into the night
You and I get lost in the infinite lights
Baby, tell me one more beautiful lie
One touch and I ignite"
_______________________________________
"Hey Matty baby, did you miss me?" A girl around my age comes and hugs Matt
Who's she?
Why is she calling Matt 'baby'?
Kelly, stop sounding so jealous!
"What do you need Rebecca?" Matt asks in a flat tone
"I need you baby. And I know you need me too." Rebecca says and touches Matt's arm which he swats away
"I never needed you Rebecca and it's high time you realize we had nothing and it was all just in your head." he tells her
"But you made love to me, baby." she whines in a not so cute way
And why the hell has she directed the direction of this conversation to Matt's sex life?
His and Her sex life. Together. My conscience says.
For some reason that thought doesn't make me fell so good.
"It's called plain sex, Rebecca. That's not how you make love to someone." Matt says but Rebecca clings onto his arms and I can see that Matt's uncomfortable
"Hey Rebecca." I say in a fake sweet tone
I can be sweet and nice to everyone but seeing Matt uncomfortable is somehow boiling my blood.
"And who are you bitch? What are you doing holding my baby's hand?" she spits at me
"Well I am Kelly and the last time I checked, I was holding my boyfriend's hand. Nice to meet you too." I say with a smirk
"Well if you don't mind, can I enjoy the rest of the evening with my girlfriend?" Matt smirks at Rebecca
"I'm your girlfriend!" Rebecca whines
"My girlfriend's name is Kelly Kent so unless you've changed your name to that, let's not talk about that." Matt says, annoyance evident in his voice
"C'mon love, let's so see your mom." I tell Matt coz I know he wants to get away from this Rebecca girl just as much as I do
"Son." A lady's voice calls out Matt and we turn around to look at her
"Mother." Matt greets her
"How have you been, son? I've missed you." she says and wraps Matt in a hug
"I've been good, mother." he replies
"And who is this beautiful young lady?" she asks looking towards me as she breaks their hug
"I'm Kelly." I tell her
"It's nice to meet you darling." she says and wraps me in a warm welcoming hug
"The pleasure's all mine, Mrs. Knight." I tell her as we break the hug
"Oh dear place call me Aubree or Bree. Mrs. Knight makes me seem old." she says, making me chuckle
"Alright Bree." I say
"So you're my son's girlfriend?" she asks
"No, just a friend." I tell her
"But I heard what you said to Rebecca.." she says, hesitantly
"Well then I'm a friend trying to save this one's ass." I nudge Matt a little and chuckle, making Bree laugh and Matt to roll his eyes with a small smile playing on his lips
"Why don't you both go and have a dance?" Bree suggests
"No it's okay. We can be here and keep you company." I tell her with a smile
"Oh no it's okay. There are so many people who'll keep me company. You both go enjoy." she insists
Now, I'm just waiting for Matt to refuse coz I know he won't dance.
At least not with me.
"May I, precious?" Matt suddenly asks, forwarding his hand, making my eyes widen in surprise
"You wanna dance?" I ask him
"With you, sure." he says with a sheepish smile and winks
To say I'm surprised would be an understatement.
"Then you may." I say and put my hand into his
"Have fun." Bree tells
"We will." Matt replies before pulling me towards the dance floor
He grabs my waist and pulls me closer while I wrap my arms around his neck.
Wasn't this supposed to be awkward?
Then why does it feel like we've done this like a thousand times and it's normal and so very comfortable?
I swear I've never been so confused about anything than I am about this guy.
Matthew Knight, what are you doing to my little head?
"My girlfriend, huh?" Matt asks, smirking as we sway to the beat
"I was just saving your sorry ass." I tell him and roll my eyes
"Sure you were. If I didn't know you any better, I would've thought you were jealous." he says
Was I jealous?
Definitely. My conscience butts in.
Nope. I wasn't. I was just helping out a friend from an awkward situation.
"Then it's a good thing you know me better." I tell him
"You don't wanna know who this Rebecca girl is?" he asks after a few minutes
"Well I know you'll tell me if you want me to know." I tell him
"How do you know how to say just the perfect things that make me want to tell you everything?" he whispers as he buries his head in the crook of my neck
I try to slow down the butterflies doing summersaults in my stomach but fail miserably.
"Well what to do? I'm one hell of a person." I say with a smirk and he let's out a laugh but keeps moving in the same positions, if anything, pulls me closer
"I don't want to talk about someone else right now but I'll tell you about her later. Promise." he says
"I know you will." I tell him
"Thank you for being here, precious." he says
"I'll always be where you need me, Matty boy." I tell him
"Hey, my father and mother wanted you to come to dinner after the ball is over. I told them I'll ask you and let them know. You wanna go?" he asks
"Of course. I'll come." I say with a smile
"Let's get your little tummy fed." he says, chuckling as my stomach let's out a grumble
"You're a life savior." I tell him and he let's out a small laugh while grabbing my hand and leading me towards the direction of food
