Matt's P.O.V
"Good morning, beautiful" I greeted as I caught up with Naomi.
"Morning, handsome".
"So, wanna hang later?".
"Yes because somebody has been totally M.I.A for the past week. What have you been doing?".
"I've got a gig and I can't afford to screw up".
"Do you know what the chances are for actually becoming famous?".
"Aww.. come on, Naomi! Stop discouraging me!".
"I'm not! I'm just saying that what if the whole music thing doesn't work out?".
"Then I'll be an astronaut".
"If that doesn't happen?".
"Then I'll work at the station like my dad or do something with good and steady income like my mom".
"At least you're keeping your options open".
"What about you? Don't you have any ambitions?".
"Okay. YES! Sora and I have been planning this since last year. We'll go to college, take the same course, graduate then start a line of clothing together!".
"If that doesn't work out?".
"Then I'll go work as a striptease".
"Screw the fashion line. Go straight to the striptease".
"Perv". I shook my head. I'm a guy, hello. "You'll never see me in my undies.. or naked".
"That's what you say now". I gave her a playful smirk before walking ahead of her and heading to my locker.
During lunch
Naomi's P.O.V
"YOMS!" Sora called as she ran over to me.
"What's up?" I asked before taking a sip of my water. I grabbed my chopsticks and ate some noodles.
"It's official! IT'S OFFICIAL!" she squealed.
"What's official?". She let out an excited squeal before trying to calm down. But she was still grinning like crazy.
"Tai and I! We are OFFICIALLY DATING!".
"Oh my gosh! I'm so happy for you!" I said as I put down my container and hugged her.
"I know. I can't wait to tell Kari! She is going to fuh-reak".
"No kidding. I can't believe it".
"Now, we're just waiting for you and Matt".
"Pardon?".
"OMG. Everyone can tell that you like him and it's obvious shit that he likes you".
"Okay, Matt is like my best friend. It'd be weird".
"I know but.. you get the satisfaction of finally putting In A Relationship on Facebook!".
"So?".
"And you'll have a boyfriend! It feels fantastic. I'm not kidding".
"Whatever. You're crazy".
After school
"Did you hear?" Matt asked as he suddenly appeared next to me.
"Yeah" I said with a smile.
"Damn, now I don't get to say "I knew first"".
"Yup. You should've seen Sora. She acted like she was insanely in love with him".
"And she is".
"And she said the silliest thing" I said trying to fake laugh. Honestly, I didn't find it very silly. I just.. didn't want to make it obvious that I actually want him to ask me out.
"What?".
"She said she waiting for you and me. Then in class she kept asking me about when you were gonna ask me out. Ridiculous right?".
Matt's P,O,V
I didn't find it ridiculous. I have been meaning to ask her out. It just that I haven't had the time or guts to do it. Well, it's now or never. "No, it's not ridiculous" I said seriously.
"What?".
"Here goes nothing. Naomi, would you go out with me?".
"Yes".
"Great. Movies. Friday. Seven?".
"Yeah, sure".
"We could double" Tai said as he and Sora approached us. His arm was around her shoulder.
"Great" I smiled as I looked at Naomi who blushed 5 different shades of red.
"Told you, yoms" Sora smirked. Naomi shook her head.
"I gotta go" Naomi said. She walked away with her books pressed against her chest.
"Bye" I murmured.
"Chill. I bet she's just nervous" Tai said as he placed a hand on Matt's shoulder.
On Friday
Naomi's apartment
Just before the date
Naomi's P.O.V
I sighed as I examined what I wore in the mirror. I wore some denim shorts with a plaid tunic (A/N: outfit in profile). I felt so stupid for taking off after he asked me out. I was nervous. The guy that I have been crushing on for 3 years finally asked me out. I grabbed a heart shaped pendant from my jewellery box and placed it around my neck. I put my flip flops on and locked my front door. I made my way to the ground floor and headed for the subway. I finally got to my destination. Matt was leaning against to a wall next to the concession counter. "You waited?" I asked.
"Of course" he smiled as he extended his hand for me to take.
"So what are we watching?".
"Some thriller movie".
"Why?".
"Tai chose it. They're inside already".
Half an hour later
I practically buried my face in Matt's shoulder. Yes, I was that scared. I kept blushing. This is so embarrassing. "Are you scared?" Matt asked suddenly cause me to jerk up.
"No" I scoffed.
"Then why are you not looking at the screen?".
"Your jacket. It's so nice. Lovely fabric. What brand is it?".
"Naomi..".
"Okay. I am scared. Now if you don't mind, I shall bury my face in your shoulder until the end of the movie". I went back to the position I was in. I hate horror/thriller/suspense/paranormal/supernatural kind of movies.
After the movie
"I hate you, Tai" I said as we walked out of the cinema.
"Aw.. Chill, Yomi. It wasn't that scary" Matt said as he wrapped her arm around my shoulder.
"Are you kidding me?!".
"Okay, fine. Next time, we'll watch a chick flick" Tai said.
"Thank you" I smiled.
"Well, this was a successful date. Naomi practically held onto me for dear life" Matt smirked. I simply blushed and walked his shoulder.
"Shut up".
Matt's P.O.V
"Well, we should get going" Tai said as he put an arm around Sora who was unusually quiet.
"I'll see you on Monday, Yoms" Sora smiled as she and Tai walked by.
"Want me to walk you home?".
"To the subway station would be enough".
"NO. It's night time who knows what might happen to a girl like you". My phone started beeping so I fished it out of my pocket.
The horror movie always works, dude - Tai
I let out a sigh and shoved back into my pocket. "Who was that?" Naomi asked.
"Oh. It was just a text from TK" I replied.
"Oh. Cool".
"So...".
"So...".
"I don't know what to say".
"Honestly, neither do I".
"Wanna walk in silence? And see where it leads us to?".
"Sure". We walked side by side in complete silence. She looked up to the stars. That was so typical of her. I could see that smile on her face. I moved a little closer to her and took her hand in mine. She looked down at our hands then tightened her grip.
Naomi's front door
"Doesn't this feel like that moment?" Naomi sighed.
"What moment?".
"You know, after a date the guy stands outside her front door with her and-".
"I get it".
"But this isn't one of those moments".
"Not unless you want it to be".
"What's that suppose to mean?". I cupped her cheek with one hand and stroked it with my thumb. I leaned down and gently pressed my mouth against hers. She placed her hands on my shoulders and deepened the kiss. Just before it could go too far, she pulled away.
"I'll see you on Monday".
"Sure".
A/N: THEY KISSED. Aw... :) hope you like it.
