At this Matty giggled like a school girl, slapping him flirtatiously. "Don't!"
Then, as if remembering herself she straightened herself, pursing her lips as she looked down, trying to regain control. She couldn't believe how quickly she seemed to give herself over to him. It was as if he was magnetic, pulling her out of the defensive shell she had built around herself for so many years. It had been a struggle, years of working twice as hard as everyone else to get half as far had taken their toll on her psyche. However, those scars seemed to melt away into oblivion the moment Bozer's deep, dark eyes met hers. It was as if all the romantic ideals that she had ever scoffed at were manifesting themselves in her life all at the same time. Her past self would be horrified at what a sap she had evidently become. Bozer seemed to have noticed the faraway look in her eyes, and he took her hands in his as he seated himself in Riley's vacated chair. Bringing her small hand up to his lips he kissed it softly, his lips gentle against her fingers but no less sensual. She felt a thrill run through her and she longed to feel his lips on hers once more. Almost unconsciously she allowed herself to be drawn into his arms. If there was a heaven it surely had nothing that could top this. She rested her dark head on his strong shoulders, feeling the steady thrumming of his heart through his hoodie. He let her stay like that for a little while, but then he pulled away to look at her.
"Matty?" He began and she saw that something akin to fear had crept into his eyes. The appearance of this new emotion froze her heart. Was she losing him? A sudden wave of panic flooded her entire body. She must prove what he meant to her. Without a second's hesitation she leaned forward, kissing him with all of the intensity that her heart cried out with. At first he seemed to hesitate, but then passion won out and he kissed her back with an equal strength. For a moment it was bliss, then, suddenly, from the doorway, Jack's unmistakable wolf whistle and laugh made Matty stop dead.
