Chapter Ten

Only if you want me to be.

Matt ended up staying the night at my house. We just lay in my bed and talked. We talked until we both feel asleep. In case you were wondering, nothing happened. I wouldn't even do that.

I was the first to wake up. His arms were around my shoulders, and my head was resting on his shoulder. I looked up at his face and he was still asleep. I still lied in his arms even after I woke up. I felt so relaxed with him. I felt like I could just be myself, and I didn't have to impress him. I wrapped my arms around his abdomen and slowly fell back asleep.

Three hours later I was being gently shook awake. Matt's green eyes were right in front of mine. He smiled when he saw that I was awake. I smiled at him and quickly gave him a kiss on the lips.

"I have to go to work," He said putting his shoes on. Matt worked at B&B's. It is this little shop on the boardwalk the sells bikes, surf boards, and skate boards. I want to get a skate board from there. Last summer, when I had a huge crush on Sophia's brother Teddy, he taught me how to skate board before I came down here.

I walked him to the door stopping to look at him before I opened the door. He looked at me but I didn't know what to say.

"So," he started. "Does this mean you are my girlfriend?" I smiled at him and nodded.

"Only if you want me to be," I replied. He nodded whispering yes. He leaned towards me and kissed me lightly on the lips.
"I'll see you after work if you want." He waved as he walked towards his car. After I knew he was out of the driveway, I shut the door. I was so happy at the moment I didn't even know how to act. I never felt this way about anyone before. I never felt the fireworks I do when he is around. Was I in love with him? No. That's impossible. I just now became his girlfriend; I can't be in love with him.

Today is Tyler's birthday and he is turning eighteen years old. I forgave him yesterday and we hung out. Today he and I are going to go to Applebee's in Williams because it is his favorite restaurant. It was just going to be me and him, alone, thirty minutes from Hill Side, did I mention alone. I wasn't nervous really because it was Tyler but I knew that it was going to be sort of awkward.

"So…" he trailed off. After a pause he said, "You and Matt are a thing huh?" And here is where it became awkward. I looked at him and his eyes moved from the road to me several times.

"Ty, do we have to talk about this? I mean it's your day, we should be spending it talking about you, or something not me." I looked at him with pleading eyes but he didn't catch on to my beg.

"No, No, No I want to know. I wouldn't want to talk about me all day. That would be ridiculous." His shoulders were stiff and his hand wasn't lazily on the steering wheel of his car anymore. I looked at him and inhaled deeply.

"Yes. We are dating now. Can we please stop talking about this?" I replied. For some reason I didn't like talking to Tyler about boys. It just didn't feel right.

Dinner went well. It wasn't as bad after we stopped talking about Matt and I. It was like old time now. The times I missed with Tyler. I didn't want this summer to be weird for us. It wasn't weird when we were fifteen and I actually kissed Matt in Tyler's basement. Tyler had a party at his house that night. His parents even drove all the way to Williams just so he could have it. Thankfully he invited Matt so I would atleast have my new boyfriend to show off. And my best friend Elly is going to be there. I haven't seen much of her since Kyle's party either. Travis asked her out the day after and they had practically spent 24/7 with each other. This party should be fun….I hope.
