Chapter 8
Tabitha sat in between Matt's legs on the edge of the bath-tub as he gently massaged the dye into her hair. Tabitha's head moved in unison with the motions of his fingers combing through her hair and she moaned at the sensations he was causing in her body. There was something erotic about the way his fingers were massaging her scalp causing her to go into a totally relaxed state. Matt smiled as he saw the look of pure contentment and relaxation. He was fascinated by the feel of her soft, thin hair flowing through his fingers, it felt different from his curly, thick hair and he loved it.
Ok Tabs, lean forward so that we can rinse this out of your hair and put the deep condtioner into it. He said leaning her head back into her hand and rinsing it gently, making sure not to get any into her eyes.
Can you tell if it's doing anything? She asked as she looked up at him.
Would you just relax? You won't be able to tell anything until the conditioner does it's thing. He said as he wrapped her hair up in a towel.
Tabitha took a look at Matt from where she was and looked appreciatively at the bare chest he was sporting and the hair falling forward into his eyes. She giggled and blushed when he caught her admiring him.
Do you do this alot? She asked as she stood up and walked toward him.
Dying hair? He asked as he put his arms around her waist and drew her close to him.
Yeah, I know you dye your own, but I was wondering if you dye other people's? She said as she leaned back in his arms, scooting closer to him.
Nope, not even Jeff's. You're the first one besides myself. You should consider yourself lucky. He said leaning down and placing a soft kiss on the side of her cheek before moving to her lips.
Matt pulled back after a few moments and lifted his hands above her head to remove the towel from her head. He smiled and turned her around so that she could see in the mirror what he had done to her. Tabitha smiled, indicating she liked what she saw. Now instead of the Carmel-brown she had a dark burgundy that showed off her blue eyes and dark skin.
Do you like it? Matt asked as he tried to comb through it with his fingers.
It's definately different, but it's me and I love it. She said meeting his smiling eyes in the mirror.
Come here. He said as he grabbed her hand and lead her into his bedroom before sitting on the bed and pulling her against him.
Tabitha was confused about what he was doing until she felt a brush come into contact with her hair and she sighed as he brushed away the tangles that had formed. Thinking she had died and gone to heaven, she gasped a bit in surprise when she felt his lips against the soft skin of her neck.
Tabitha, I have something to tell you that is very close to my heart and I don't tell many people this. He said quietly as she turned around to face him.
She leaned closer and framed his face with her hands, what he wanted to tell her seemed serious and in a way that worried her.
Go ahead Matt, you realize that you can tell me anything don't you? She said as she gave him a tiny kiss on the mouth.
I've always wanted someone that I could call my best friend, someone that I could have a relationship with that wasn't based on the phsyical aspect of things. I never thought that I would actually find that. Whether it be me or the other person, things just always seemed to move too fast with women and I never thought that I would find a woman that I could call my best friend. I always wondered about these people who said they didn't care about sex becasue they truly cared about the other person they were with, they enjoyed their company and companionship. Now I understand exactly what they mean. I could care less about a physical relationship with you, not to say that I don't find you incredibely sexy and incredibely beautiful, because you are. I'm just telling you that's not a priority for me right now. What is a priority for me is telling you that I love you and proving to you just how much I care about you. Matt said in a rush as he looked deep into her eyes.
As Matt had talked, Tabitha gained a new respect for the man that she had come on know so well over the time they had been together and it made her feel good to know that he trusted her enough to expose his feelings like that so openly to her.
I love you too, Matt. She said smiling as he pulled her close in a bear hug.

What do you think they're doing in there? Jeff whispered to Carrie as they eaves-dropped outside the door to Matt's bedroom.
Probably gazing into each others eyes with that look they get. Carrie said covering her mouth to cover up the giggle she was letting escape.
I know, my brother is completely gone over her. I never thought it would happen, but I can say that I have never seen him happier and that in turn makes me happy. Jeff said smiling as he put his arm around Carrie and lead her down the stairs.
I agree with you there buddy, I love seeing Tabitha that happy. She said as they walked along together.
**********************************
The four of them were downstairs watching videos and admiring the girls newly dyed hair. It turned out that Jeff wasn't too cruel with Carrie and had dyed it a deep black color, a severe contrast from the blonde it had been before.
Oh my gosh, it's almost 2 in the morning, we better get going. Tabitha said from her place on the couch laying with Matt.
No don't go you two, just stay and then we can do something when we get up in the morning. Matt said as he wrapped his arms tighter around her waist to prevent her from getting up.
Tabitha and Carrie looked at each other and they could already tell they would be staying. Neither one really wanted to drive home and Tabitha wanted to spend as much time with Matt as possible considering they didn't get time to just hang out very often.
Ok we'll stay, but what are we gonna do tomorrow? Carrie asked as she smacked Jeff's hand away from her face that had been trying to play with her nose.
Matt and Jeff looked at each other grinning. At the same time the same word flew out of their mouths.
Myrtle Beach.
The two girls looked at each other, confused.
What's with Myrtle Beach? Carrie asked as she and Tabitha sat up.
Myrtle Beach is only the mecca for the Hardy Boyz. Matt said acting like she was crazy for not knowing.
Carrie stuck her tongue out at him as she threw a pillow at Jeff's head.
Jeff yelled as it hit him hard.
Enough children, we need sleep if we're going to the mecca. Matt said as he stood up to go upstairs.
Lead on Captain. They said as they all followed in a soldier like fashion before cracking up.
Goodnight ya'll. Jeff said as everyone retired to their rooms
