I'm so excited that you guys like my story so much. Thank you to my two reviewers and all of you reading this, you're fab-o.

I said goodbye to Ali and got into Matt's pickup truck with Jeremy. I was sitting in-between them as we drove to the Grill. I always went with them and did my homework while they worked. It was a thing that we'd done since Matt and I started dating.

"Don't you ever get tired of coming to work with us?" Jeremy asked. "I go to work here and I still get bored. I mean, I have something to do and I'm still bored so I can't imagine how you handle it."

Matt's hand found its way to my thigh and gripped it loosely as we drove. The little touch of his skin had me getting a little hot and bothered, even if it was through the denim of my jeans. It was almost pathetic the little things he did that turned me on. It was terrible considering that we hadn't even had sex yet.

"It's nothing; I wouldn't do my homework if I went home. I'd just call Ali and talk for hours about which football players have the best butts," I said, bumping him with my shoulder. "I like spending time with you guys. Even if one of you is a hunter who may kill my sister at any time and the other has had sex with her."

Matt groaned and closed his eyes. He hated it when I talked about his relationship with Care, it made him super uncomfortable. It kind of bothered me too but I pretty much accepted it. I couldn't undo his past, and as long as I was his present and his future I could handle it.

I'm a virgin and he's not so it's sort of awkward. I knew his first time was with Elena when they were fifteen. Then he had sex with Caroline and had way more experience than I do in that department. In all honesty, I'm pretty sure I'm the only virgin left in all of Mystic Falls.

"What are you thinking so hard about, Lex?" Jeremy asked, making me jump. "We've been in the parking lot for almost five minutes and you haven't moved once."

I knew my cheeks were pink and I felt Matt squeeze my thigh again reassuringly. I didn't want to say what I was thinking out loud so I just followed them into the Grill with my backpack on my shoulder. I sat at the bar with my books open and a notebook in front of me while the guys went to the back to get aprons and such.

…

After their shift was over, Matt dropped Jeremy off first before taking me to his house. We were sitting in his living room when he finally asked what he'd been thinking since we left school.

"What's on your mind, sunshine? You've seemed off since school let out. Do you want to talk about it?" he asked, looking at me with those eyes that made my stomach flip-flop.

I debated for a couple of seconds whether or not I should tell him what I'd been thinking off. "Does it ever bother you that we're not having sex? Like, that I'm a virgin."

He raised his eyebrows and looked at me in shock. "Why would that matter to me? I love you, Lexi. The fact that you're a virgin is really attractive, honestly."

"What do you mean, it's attractive? I thought it made me look sort of like a prude or something," I said, chewing on my bottom lip.

"I think it's really great that you're waiting for the right person to give that to. More girls should be like you," he said, pulling me closer to him and kissing my forehead. "If I end up being the one you decided to give your virginity to then I'll be ecstatic, if not then it's fine. I'm not going to rush you into anything that makes you uncomfortable."

I smiled and sat myself on his lap, wrapping my arms around his neck. He pressed his forehead to mine and looked me straight in the eyes. I wanted to kiss him but I really didn't want to ruin this moment we were having.

"I love you so much Matt," I whispered, my breath hitting his lips. "I just want you to hold me, okay? Everything is completely crazy right now but I feel so safe in your arms."

He tilted his head to the side and pressed our lips together. I let my eyes slip closed as I pushed myself closer to him. He smiled and I felt him licking the seam of my lips, asking for entrance. I parted them slightly and let him get reacquainted with every inch of my mouth.

His lips were like velvet against mine, so soft and sweet. I loved the way he held me so close yet so gently that I felt breakable. He was always so careful when it came to me, almost like I was a china doll. I usually hated it when people treated me different because of my size but with Matt it was different. Everything was different when I was with him.

I was playing with the hair at the nape of his neck when he tugged at the tie in my shirt. I pulled my lips away from his long enough to nod my head before tilting it back so he could move on to my neck. I felt him untie it before going to work on the buttons.

When he got to the top button we pulled away and he looked in my eyes as he pushed it over my shoulders. We'd been this far before but it was always darker. He was actually going see me in the light of his living room.

He pulled my mouth back to his my cheeks and held me there as he rubbed my sides. His hands were so rough and they felt like heaven against my skin, making me squirm to get closer to him. He ran his fingers over my bra clasp as he wondered whether or not to take it off.

I pulled away and bit my bottom lip, looking at him intensely. "Matt, it's okay to take it off. You're my boyfriend and I love you, I trust you."

He grinned before moving his hands back up to my neck. His hands were running over my cheekbones as he studied my expression. I coyly bit my bottom lip and fluttered my eyelashes because I knew it drove him crazy.

He took the clasp back into his hands and unclasped it, letting the satin slide down my shoulders. I sucked my bottom lip into my mouth as he pulled the bra off of me and tossed it onto the floor next to us. His eyes stayed locked on mine as he traced the side of my breasts with his fingers.

"You're so gorgeous, but I don't want to make you uncomfortable," he whispered, pressing his lips against mine gently.

I took his hands in mine and placed them on top of my breasts. He took the hint and started moving them around, making goosebumps pop up all over my skin. He was brushing his thumbs over my nipples when my phone started ringing.

I groaned as Matt looked up at me, a playful smile on his lips. He wasn't going to stop even if my phone was ringing. That was actually really sexy, so I picked up my phone and slid the bar across the screen. I took a deep breath before trying to speak.

"Hello?"

"Hey Lex, it's Jeremy. I came home and Elena was here with Damon and Klaus and they're talking about making me kill more vampires," he said, making me feel bad about what Matt was doing to me. I felt even worse when Jeremy whispered, "I need you."

I felt Matt's mouth moving along my skin and I took a deep breath before grabbing the back of his head. "Jeremy, what's going on? Take a deep breath and start from the beginning."

"I walked into the house after you and Matt dropped me off and they were all in the kitchen. Elena and Klaus were fighting about whether or not I should kill more vampires to complete my marks. I don't want to kill anything else, Lexi," he said, his voice breaking a little.

I pushed Matt away and stood up, looking for my bra on the floor. "I'll be there in ten minutes, Jer. Stay out of the way and I'll be right there."

I put my phone back into my pocket as I buttoned up my shirt. I was tying it at the bottom when I looked over at Matt and saw that he was frowning. I walked back over and perched on his knee, taking his cheeks in my hands.

"I love you so much, Matty, but Jeremy really needs us. Klaus and Damon are trying to make him kill all kinds of vampires and he doesn't want to," I said, standing back up. "I really hate to ruin this but I have to."

I heard him groan but he got up anyway. I saw him adjust his jeans a little bit but I didn't point it out, I just let him go with it. It was my fault he had to do anyways, hey, it was my fault. That was kind of a confidence booster. I was happy that he couldn't see how turned on I was right now or we might not leave his living room…

When we were out in the car I tried to ignore the tension that was between us. It wasn't sexual, it was just awkward. I really hated it; I just wanted it to go back to normal. I moved closer to him and placed a hand on his thigh, squeezing as he drove.

"Please don't be mad at me, Matt. You know he's important to you too and you would've done what I'm doing too if he'd called you," I said, leaning my body against his.

He sighed from deep in his chest before taking a hand off of the wheel, wrapping his arm around my shoulders. "I know that, I'm just frustrated. It's like every time we start getting close to each other there's something that pulls us apart."

"I know, but you know what they say, good things come to those who wait," I said, kissing his temple. "With as much as we're waiting, it's going to be spectacular."

He smiled and kissed my cheek when we pulled up into the driveway. "Let's go take care of him so I can take you back to my place and we can finish up where we left off."
