Chapter 7
*A Few Months Later*
Matt and Jeff sat around the pool in the back of Matt's newly purchased house really talking about the last few months of their lives. Things had been a whirlwind for the two, appearances everywhere, people throwing themselves at them, and not to mention the that had seemed to pop up everywhere they went. The only constants that had remained in their lives besides their father, Adam, and Jay, where Carrie and Tabitha.
Matt leaned back in the lounge chair he was sitting in. Tabitha...now that was a story all on it's own. Never once did he believe he would find someone who he could be so open with and love so deeply as he did her. He had almost given up on love when she had walked into his life. It seemed funny to him that she was really right under his nose and he had just never noticed. The two had grown closer in the last few months and were now inseparable. The same could be said for Carrie and Jeff, but the only thing they shared was a deep friendship with one another that would probably last until their dying days.
When are Tabitha and Carrie gonna be here? Jeff asked breaking into Matt's thoughts as he stretched out a little further on the lounge chair.
They are gonna be here after Carrie gets done with her Spanish class. Matt said looking over at his brother and laughing at the utterly relaxed look he had on his face.
Matt, this is the life man, we definitely need to do this more often. Jeff said grinning in enthusiasm.
It is the life dude, but it'll be even more the life as soon as Tabs gets here. Matt said turning over to shield his eyes from the sun.
You are so whipped it's not even funny. What's happened to my brother. Jeff said, whining.
Nothing has happened to me. I just love her. I would do anything for her Jeff, she reaches a part in me that no one has ever reached before. I can't even begin to explain it to you. Matt said, deep in thought.
Yeah man, whatever, I can't believe that you're saying all this and you've never even had sex with her. Jeff said disbelieving he was hearing this from his own brother.
Just because I'm not a 22 year old scrawny ass, rainbow-haired, chicken-flippin' freak with hormones running faster than a horse at the Kentucky Derby does not mean that I have to have sex with her. Besides I'm happy I'm not like you. Matt mouthed as he made the gun signs toward Jeff's head.
Fine, jimmy legs. Jeff mumbled under his breath.
Shut up Jeff. Matt said as he turned over.
Well you called me a scrawny ass. I am not scrawny, thank you very much. He pouted as he crossed his arms over his chest.
Matt laughed as he saw the look on Jeff's face and Jeff tried hard not to crack a smile as he jumped up from the chair and ran doing a Senton Bomb into the pool. Matt shook his head with a smile and went back to day dreaming.
********************
I'm free at last. I'm free at last. Thank God Almighty I'm free at last. Carrie shouted as she hopped into Tabitha's car and motioned for her to take off.
Have you been like this all day? Tabitha laughed as Carrie shouted out the car and people gave them strange looks, because the top was down.
Yes, it's such a beautiful day and I've been dying to see Matt's new house, not to mention the fact that I GET TO GO SWIMMING. She yelled as Tabitha covered her ears.
Girl you have got to calm down.
I'm sorry, but I'm excited about the fact that I'm letting Jeff dye my hair tonight. She said grinning.
You're letting Jeff and dye near your hair. That's a bad combination. Tabitha said shuddering.
Yeah, but I lost that bet with him about me being able to do 3 back flips in a row and this is my punishment. She said acting like Tabitha should already know what she was talking about.
Yeah ok, ya'll worry me sometimes. She said smiling as they made their way to Matt's house.
They pulled into the driveway and Carrie squealed as she saw the house in front of her. It was a Ranch style house with a pool in the back and had a gazebo to the left of the pool. To her, it fit Matt and she was so happy that he had found it because he had looked for so long. Tabitha looked at her like she was insane as they got out of the car.
The two let themselves in and made their way upstairs to the bedrooms to change before going down to the pool. As they made their way out the sliding door onto the deck that lead down to the pool, Matt looked up from his place on the lounge chairs and silently admired Tabitha's body. Her Carmel-colored hair was hanging loosely down her back, begging for him to run his fingers through it. As he saw them approach, he quickly closed his eyes and went back to his relaxed state.
Tabitha smiled an evil smile as she tiptoed up to Matt's ear and whispered into it.Wake up Matt, it's time to get up sweetie. She whispered as she gently blew in his ear.
Matt giggled as he opened his eyes and smiled at her before sitting up and pulling her into his lap.
Hey baby, he said before kissing her lightly on the lips.
Hey yourself. Enjoying your day off? She asked brushing the hair back from his face.
I'm enjoying it immensely now that you're here sunshine. He said smiling softly into her eyes.
Ok you two mushy people, who wants their hair dyed? Jeff asked laughing evilly.
Oh God, Tabitha pray for me. Jeff gets to pick the color. Carrie said digging her heels into the concrete as Jeff tried to drag her into the house.
Tabitha and Matt laughed hysterically as they saw Jeff get fed up with Carrie and throw her over his shoulder before leading them into the house.
So what do ya say Tabs, are you gonna dye your hair too? He asked picking her hand up and kissing her fingers one by one.
I'm not letting Jeff anywhere near my hair. No way no how. She said as she stood up and grabbed his hand to pull him up with her.
What about me? You trust me don't ya? He asked looking her level in the eyes, issuing the challenge.
Ok Matt, dye away. She said giggling when he took her hand and lead her into the house.
