After dinner Nate and I are dropped off and we head inside.
"Nervous?" I ask.
He looks down at his feet, "A bit. I've never been to a dance before."
"You'll be fine. That is if you save me a dance." I decide that I could flirt a little bit.
He blushes, "Save you a dance?"
"That's what I said isn't it?" I walk past him and kiss him on the cheek, "Good night Nate." His face turns bright red and I smile to myself before walking into my own room.
The next morning came faster than I thought it would. I wake up and wipe the sleep out of my eyes. I stumble out of my room in my pjs and begin to make coffee. I turn on my phone and scroll through my messages. There is one from Megan reminding me that her party is tonight. I know that. Next is a message from Matt.
Got Mells to go. Consider me a master of persuasion.
I laugh a loud and respond with, Congrats
After that I have a message from Megan, I need Nate after we finish at the salon :)
Sure. He'll be ready, I respond. I check my watch. 11:00. I walk over and knock on his closed bedroom door. No response. "Nate. Seriously wake up." I knock some more. Still no response. I open the door and see him lying face down on the bed. He's still sleeping. I smile to myself and touch his shoulder. I then shake him gently. He grunts and rolls away from me. "Nate." I whisper.
"Mmhmm." He opens one eye.
"Gotta get up. I made coffee."
"Mmm." He pushes himself up. His hair sticks out in many directions. His bed head is cute.
I decided what the best plan of action was before the salon. That was to go take a shower. It takes a girl a long time to get ready. We have to wash our hair, wash our faces, and shave- but I'll spare you those details. I met up with Megan and Kimi at the spa and it was honestly nice.
After we finished up at the salon Megan had picked up Nate and taken him out to get a suit. Kimi was dropping me off half an hour later. I waved goodbye and went up to my room. I unlocked the door and was surprised to find that the alarm had already been shut off. I could hear running water coming from the bathroom. "Who's there?" I asked. I then grabbed an umbrella and slowly walked up towards the bathroom.
"Hello?" I asked again my heart beating faster and faster. The door creaked open and steam fell out. I held the umbrella over my head as a figure walked out.
"Matt! What the hell are you doing here?" I let out a long breath I didn't realize I was holding in and lowered the umbrella.
"Were you going to hit me with that?" He asked. He stood there in the middle of the hallway with just a towel wrapped around his waist and his hair wet.
"Yes! I didn't know it was you. You scared the hell out of me. I thought you were a murderer or something!"
"Sorry bout that. My shower broke."
"So you snuck into my house to use mine. Why didn't you ask?"
"Nobody was home. I knocked first."
"That doesn't make it ok to break into my house!" I take a step closer and look up at him.
"I wouldn't call it breaking in. I merely jimmied the lock and disabled the alarm system. I told you it's easier than you think." He cracks an amused smile, "oh and sweetie, I'm not wearing any clothes. Don't you think you're a little close? Not that I mind." I am close. My chest is less than an inch away from his bare chest and my right arm is touching his.
My eyes widen and I push him backwards, "Go get some clothes on!" I turn and try to hide my blush. I can hear him laughing before he closes the door. I go into my own room and wipe the water off my face that fell onto me from Matt's hair. I unbutton my shirt as to make sure that I won't mess up my hair. I slip on the dress and look at everything all together. My hair is in an updo with curls cascading down the back and the dress and shoes compliment it greatly. I do look good, better than I feel that is. It's my night to finally make a move. How big of a move I don't know. My fear is that I'll scare him away. I hear a knock on the door and say, "What?"
"Can I use your hair dryer?" Matt asks through the door.
"Sure."
"Thanks." In no time I hear the dryer turn on and I walk out into the living room.
A minute later Matt walks out to join me. He smooths his hair down and sits across from me.
"You clean up nice." I say. He does and I can't deny it. He is attractive. His body fits well in his suit with a lime green tie and his deep eyes and dashing smile- stop it.
"Seeing me without clothes on, is that what it takes for you to fall for me. Because if that's so then you should've just told me. I could've arranged this sooner." He winks.
"Matt!" I say in horror.
"Ok ok, calm down, I won't tell anyone. I know I'm not on your list."
"My list?"
"I'm a friend. Mihael and Nate aren't though."
"Oh." I roll my eyes.
"Everyone is expecting you to make a move tonight." He lifts his eyebrow.
"Are you?"
"Yeah I'm just wondering who it'll be."
"I have to chose eh?"
"You'll have to chose. I can tell you one thing though, Mells doesn't like to lose. Especially to Near."
"Nate." I correct, "Nate and Mihael."
"Fine." He looks as though he's going to say more but the door to the apartment opens and Kimi, Nate and Megan all pour in. Nate looks surprising in a black suit. His white hair stands out drastically.
"You all look stunning." Matt grins and gestures to Nate, "Even you sheep."
AN: Thanks for reading. I need to end this story soon so expect only a few chapters more.
