We are hanging out in his house. Matt is talking to her. His girlfriend, Eve Torres. He doesnt get it. We have been friends for four years. I look at him and he looks at me. I smile. He gets mad at Eve and hangs up.
Matt:She makes me so angry
I say then break up with her under my breath.
Matt: What was that?
Me:Nothing what happened?
Matt: She got mad because I told her that one joke I told everybody and they thought was funny.
Me:What are you going to do?
Matt:She's just mad, i'll give her a little while to cool off
Me: Alright so we gonna hang out tonight?
Matt:Yeah you know what? Your my best friend.
Me:Your my best friend too Matt.
I smile. We go to the bowling alley with the rest of the core group. I try to make 120. It's hard because Matt, Jeff, Beth, and Shannon are so good. By the end of the night I get 110, Matt gets 200, Jeff and Beth get 170 and Shannon gets 94. On the way back. I ride with Matt. Im thinking about how im going to tell him my feelings.
Matt: Ally?
I look over
Me: Yeah
Matt: Are you okay?
Me: Yeah just thinking.
Matt: ok did you have fun tonight?
Me: Yeah I had an awesome time. Its going to be more awesome when I beat you at call the shot
Matt Laughs
Matt:You think so?
Me: I know so.
Matt: We'll see
We get back to Matt's house. We hanging out drinking, playing stands up and says
Matt: Looks here Ally has challenged me to Call the Shot. gather round to watch the champ beat the challenger.
Everyone stands around the drinking table. After a few embarassing dares, Matt comes out of nowhere and dares
Matt: Okay Ally, everyone knows you have feelings for someone here.
Me: What are you asking me to do?
Matt: Tell everyone your feelings for this person.
I think he knows. I think Matt knows my feelings for him. I am in trouble.
Me: Okay well ive been feeling this for this person for sometime now. I think ever since before his very public breakup with his ex.
I start getting emotional and I start to cry and I cant play anymore. Through my tears I say to Matt.
Me: Im sorry Matt I cant do this. I forfeit. Im going home i'll see you tomorrow.
I grab my keys and I get in my car and when I get home I just ball my eyes out. I cant believe he made me do that. I get a call from Matt. I pick up
Me: Hey Matt.
Matt: What's wrong why did you leave?
I have to tell him. theres no way i can get out of this one.
Me: I love you Matt.
theres a silence for a few seconds
Matt: You were talking about me?
Me: Yes
I start to cry again.
Matt:Dont cry okay Why dont you open your door.
Confused by what he just said I go and open the door and he is standing there with a bottle of my favorite smifnoff. Im amazed that he brought a bottle.
Matt: I heard a very pretty girl likes me?
I smile and I let him in.
Me:Why did you follow me home?
Matt: At first to make sure you got home alright then I was thinking about what you said and i brought a bottle of orange smifnoff to make you feel better.
Me: Thanks for your concern but im fine. I confessed my feelings for you and its fine if you dont feel the same way.
as i got the words out he kisses me. It was a shock I dont know what to think. Maybe its because he is drunk and horny i dont know but im not going to pull away. I kiss him back. He pulls away.
Matt: I cant do this. I have a girlfriend.
I get up and get some glasses
Me: fine lets just drink then
He hands me the bottle I pour each of us a drink. We drink until I cant see straight.
Me: You know I love you so much thats what I thinking about when we were driving back
Matt: Im sorry Ally I dont know why I just break up with Eve. She doesnt make me happy.
His phones rings.
Matt: Its Eve shush.
Matt: Hello
Matt: Yeah Im with Ally. Shes upset and i came over to make sure shes fine.
Matt: Ive been drinking. I cant drive
Matt: No i'll just crash here
Matt: I you too I'll see you tomorrow
He hangs up and kisses me again. He starts taking off my pants. i take off his shirt and he picks me up and puts me on my bed. we make out and eventually have sex.
