Hallo world! New chappie coming up! MattxJess of course. If you guys have any requests, do inform me, I'd be happy to do it and attempt to meet your expectations! :D
|Chapter 3-The Football Game|
Description: Jessica always wished she could be a cheerleader when she was younger, but when she discovered how much work it would take, she decided to call it quits. But watching Matt play football now made her wish she hadn't.
"Oh this is going to be good." Mike rubbed his hands together, the frosty night nipping away at his cheeks that were surely rather rosy by now. Nobody had predicted that it would be so cold, but that was the way it was.
Jessica sat next to him, nibbling into a pretzel from the concession stand. This would be the football game to rule them all. Their school team was currently facing off against their biggest rivals, and this came had been hyped up for weeks to come.
Of course, Jessica really had no idea on how football worked. She also didn't really care to know how it worked, and wasn't a huge fan of it in the first place. But she though she owed Matt to come, just like the rest of the group of friends.
Ashley sat to the left of Jessica, every once in a while trying to snag a little piece of Jessica's pretzel since she had forgotten to bring her own money. Jessica scowled, turning away from the girl so she could eat in piece.
"I'm so hungry..." Ashley moped. Jessica rolled her eyes, not prepared to fall for whatever trick this was.
Sam sighed, breaking off a rather large piece of her own piece and handing it Ashley. Since she was sitting next to Mike, she had to reach over to hand it to the blond, forcing Jessica to sit properly back in her seat.
"Aw thanks Sam!" Ashley chirped. Jessica shook her head.
"Oh Samantha. What a good Samaritan you are." Jessica commented. Matt chuckled in the background and Ashley lightly elbowed Jessica in the sighed. Sam merely cracked a grin.
"Why thank you." Sam replied, biting into the remainder of her pretzel contently. Jessica smiled lightly as she continued to nibble into her own pretzel, the three chatting away as she watched the football teams do their warm ups. She narrowed her eyes, searching for one person in particular.
Jessica grinned when she finally found him. Matt was on the far left of the team who were currently running back and forth across the width of the field. The quarterback, somebody Jessica could have sworn she dated around with once, was leading the workout. Matt had informed Jessica that he was the linebacker on the team.
Obviously she had no idea what he was talking about, so she took it upon herself to go home and Google it. Through the helpful, well, help of Wikipedia she came to the result that the linebacker was a defensive player that, in a way, mimicked the quarterback, calling the plays for the defensive players.
Jessica still didn't really understand it. It didn't really matter though. As long as it was entertaining to watch she would be contented.
"Delivery! Delivery!" Chris's voice snapped her from her thoughts as she looked over to her left to see Chris standing with a few drinks, Emily standing behind him also with some drinks. The duo had been sent to get all the drinks for everybody-much to Emily's disdain-and had come back in record time.
"You won't believe how many jokes like that I heard while we were grabbing these drinks..." Emily muttered as she handed Mike and Sam their drinks, Chris handing Jessica and Ashley theirs in turn.
"Must have been rough." Mike commented as he took a sip of his ice cold drink. Chris took a seat next to Ashley, Emily in turn sitting next to him.
"Aw it wasn't that bad!" Chris laughed, scratching the back of his neck. "Em's just over-exaggerating." Emily snorted.
"I'll let you dream." Everyone joined in to laugh while Chris moped in the background.
After a few more minutes of chatter-Ashley decided to tell Jessica about some interesting story she had heard about equality or something-the players began to line up in some sort of formation, signaling that the game was about to begin. Jessica shuffled about in her seat, feeling herself getting excited.
"Oh, Jessica's getting pumped guys!" Mike chuckled at the blond's antics, shaking his head. Sam giggled along with him, Chris not afraid to hide his loud laughter while Ashley tried to stifle her own. Emily merely cracked a smile.
"Shut up Michael..." Jessica growled. Mike whistled, rubbing his hands together for the second time that night.
"Baby's got back." Mike laughed again. Jessica decided to shut up by this point, not wanting to deal with the rest of Mike's obnoxious comments or else she would surely flip out at him.
Jessica watched attentively as the game began. She felt Ashley's head lean against her shoulder, and she adjusted slightly to get comfortable in the position. Chris was trying to be some kind of commentator, pretending Emily was his anchor which clearly the girl wasn't so excited about. Mike and Sam chattered about things Jessica couldn't hear, so she deduced it didn't concern her.
It was the third down and the home team had the ball. Jessica kept her eyes on Matt the whole game, praying he wouldn't get hurt or something along those lines. Some of the boys on the other team were pretty huge. Granted Matt was nobody to be overlooked, but he definitely wasn't as large as some of the other players.
The quarterback yelled some indistinguishable on the field as the play broke out. Somehow somebody on the other team had gotten the ball and now they were making a mad dash for the end zone.
"Shit." Jessica heard Mike mutter.
"And it's not looking too good for home!" Chris used his now empty drink cup as some type of microphone, nervousness bubbling in his stomach as he watched the player approaching their end zone. "Crap."
Jessica kept her eyes peeled. Somebody was pretty close behind the person who was running and was able to zoom past them. They then shifted on their left foot and rammed into the opponent, sending them to the ground.
"Good job Matt." Jessica muttered to herself excitedly, leaning forward in her seat, causing Ashley to have to sit up straight. She was proud of Matt. She didn't know he was such a fast runner either.
"Why did this game have to start so late?" Ashley mumbled, yawning. She was using Jessica's shoulder as a pillow so now she had to lean against the back of her chair. She moved to lean her head against Chris's shoulder who immediately stiffened.
"Wow and this game just got exciting didn't it folks?" Chris croaked out. Emily rolled her eyes, laughing lightly.
"In more ways then one. Right Chris?" Chris growled as Emily laughed again, taking a long sip from her drink.
Time flew by as Jessica found herself enveloped in the game, watching Matt the whole time as everything else had become background noise. The boy, like her, had never been strongly academic. Thankfully Jessica could get by because of her, undeniably, physical features. Matt was similar in that way in that is physical features are what made him good at football.
He was skinny but very muscular and lean, always quick on his feet, not to mention his good reflexes. It made sense that he was linebacker.
So what was going on for Jessica? She wanted to be a model, of course. She had the looks...Right?
Why was she suddenly becoming self-conscious during a friends football game?
"And another touchdown for the home team!" Chris announced cheerfully, Mike standing up to cheer with the rest of the students excitedly. Sam clapped beside him, her eyes flickering towards the score.
"36-36. It's all tied up." Sam read off. It was the fourth quarter, and they were six minutes in, meaning only six minutes left until the game was over. Jessica leaned back in her chair, trying not to show her anxiety for Matt as she kept her eyes on anywhere except for him.
"Aw look! Jessica's scared for Matt!" Ashley said, still in a half-asleep state. Jessica scoffed, crossing her hands over one another.
"Ha! Yeah right. That dumb oaf?" Jessica snickered, shaking her head. She was just there because everybody else was. Matt would be fine without her. It wasn't even like she liked football...
"Whatever you say Jessica." Sam grinned, Mike laughing next to her.
"You too Sam?" Jessica cried incredulously. Chris clapped happily, proud of Sam. Mike patted the girl on the back as Chris continued his god awful commentating.
Emily rubbed her temples, Chris' voice blaring in her ears. She wished she hadn't gone with Chris to go to the concession-even though she did resist quite a bit-because then she wouldn't be stuck sitting next to him.
"Do you have anything to say about this Emily?" Chris asked, leaning closer to the girl, holding the plastic cup close to her mouth.
"Would you shut the hell up?" Emily said sternly. Chris frowned, pulling the cup away.
"Well there goes my anchor." Chris mumbled, shaking the cup around, the ice that hadn't yet melted jiggling around inside. He could still find ways to have fun.
"Guys shut up! There's like two minutes left!" Jessica reminded them, resting her chin against her palm excitedly. Their team was currently on their forth down, heading towards the end zone. This would decide the game.
"Aw fuck." Mike cursed as the player got tackled by the opposition. They lost possession of the ball unfortunately.
"Dammit." Jessica agreed, cursing as well. They had been so close.
"This is hella intense." Sam murmured, leaning back in her chair. "We might be going into overtime." Chris shivered at this.
"Intense." He mumbled into the cup. Emily nodded.
"Indeed." She looked over Chris, seeing Ashley passed out in her chair. "Did Ash fall asleep?" Emily asked. Chris shrugged.
"I don't know."
"Well aren't you going to check?"
"...Do I have too?"
"Oh my god you're insufferable."
Jessica was still focused on the game, wishing that she could get closer. The stands were nice, but a closer view would be more preferable. Matt looked like he was getting pretty tired, he had been out for the majority of the game. That must mean he's pretty damn good. Jessica thought hopefully, the corners of her lips turning upwards into a smile.
It was the third down of the opposition. They were nearing the end zone, but there was only thirty seconds left, so all the home team had to was successfully defend the end zone and then drag it into overtime.
With a start the game resumed, the same runner who had broke away during the beginning the day somehow, yet again, obtaining the ball. His speed was pretty good, and he had great reflexes and was able to easily dodge out of the way of others, making up for his speed. Many players darted after him, all being unsuccessful.
It was up to Matt. He sprinted after the guy, the rest of his team becoming pretty useless rather quickly as they were all too slow to keep up with the opposing member. Jessica watched as he quickly caught up with the guy, leaping out and tackling him to the ground.
The blond exhaled in relief, unaware that she was holding her breath. Clearly everybody else in the stand was relieved as well, and there was loud cheering and clapping.
Mike laughed off his anxiety, rubbing his hands together yet again.
"That's Matty boy for you! Carrying the team yet again." Mike blew into his hands and then rubbed them together again, trying to get warm while the sharp air tried to keep him cold. Sam copied his actions, quickly getting cold as well.
"Yeah, he's a lot better then I thought he was." She admitted. "I mean, I've seen him play before, but he's gotten a lot better since the last time." Chris hummed.
"Yeah. He's been out here at lunch practicing a lot lately. He's been super driven, probably since it's his last year and all." Chris explained. Emily arched an eyebrow.
"How do you know? You're always cooped up in the computer lab." Emily reminded the boy, curious about what his response would be.
Chris shook his head, waving his hands in dismissal.
"No I don't come here. Jess does. Ashley always drops off her lunch and then comes to join me in the lab." Chris explained. Jessica was too focused on what was going on so she hadn't been paying attention to what the boy had said, but Emily had heard it loud and clear.
"Jessica? You hang out here during lunch? Why do you have Ashley running around getting you lunch anyways?" Emily wondered. Jessica snapped back to reality, but still kept her eyes on the field.
"I just like it out here. I usually pay for both of our lunches so she runs and gets them and then we study out here for a bit. And then she heads back inside to hang out with tech addict to my left here." Jessica explained, bobbing her head in Chris' direction, still not turning to face them. She probably really eats here just to watch Matt.
Chris scowled, crossing his hands, accidentally bumping into the sleeping Ashley who moved around in her sleep.
"They're going!" Mike's voice focused Jessica back onto the field as she immediately searched for Matt. This was the fourth down. Fifteen seconds left until overtime, but the other team was cutting it close to the end line. They just had to last fifteen seconds and then the home team had a chance.
The play started before Jessica could even think. This time instead of the super fast guy running with the ball, he disappeared somewhere on the field, camouflaging with all the different players so Jessica couldn't really see where he was. Somebody was rushing with the ball, but Matt was right in front of them, waiting to collide with them, so it all seemed fine.
What Jessica didn't notice was that instead of continuing to rush or passing it off to somebody nearby, the guy threw the ball all the way to the end zone where the super fast guy, with one hell of a lucky catch, caught the ball and rushed into the end zone, scoring the touch down.
"God damn it." Jessica heard Mike mumble as the stands turned to a silence, the thought of losing hovering around. Though losing had been a very real possibility, Jessica hadn't really come to terms with it.
Though it wasn't really that big of a deal, it was a huge deal for Matt. Scouts were out and about, trying to get people for their universities, Matt had told her all about it. He had been anxious, but extremely excited, since football was his one way ticket, and his only ticket, into a good university.
Winning the game didn't mean everything of course. Jessica believed he probably still had a high chance of getting somewhere good. Watching him play now revealed to her that he really was a talented player.
But Matt was different in his way of thinking. He wasn't a sore loser, but he really didn't like disappointing others, nor did he like disappointing his friends or himself. Though Matt had obviously done all he could have done in the spur of the moment, he was the kind of person that would try to bear the whole load.
That was the downside and upside to Matt. He was such a good person that he tried to make other peoples problems seem like his own. And yet, once all those problems added up, the poor boy would start to crumble from all the added stress and whatnot. Dumb oaf.
Jessica watched as the home team walked off the field, defeated. The coach seemed pretty happy though. Maybe he was happy with the game, which was great because then it would surely make Matt feel better.
"Well. Winning isn't everything." Mike yawned as he stood up from his seat, stretching out. "That was one hell of an entertaining game nonetheless. I'm heading home though because I'm exhausted. Anyone want a ride?" Mike asked, already taking for account that he was driving Sam home.
Chris raised his hand. "One would be much appreciated. And we'd have to take Ashley too since, well, she's asleep." Chris pointed out, Ashley still sprawled out across her seat.
Emily stood up from her seat, straightening her clothes as she shook her head.
"I brought my car, so I'll be fine." Emily deduced.
"Oh, then can I grab a ride with you then? I live closer to you anyways." Chris said, turning to face Emily.
Her expression read that she did not want to take in any part of driving Chris home-well, and Ashley too, since she was sort of a part of the whole deal-but Chris wasn't taking no for an answer.
"Dude, just drive me home." Chris mouthed to the girl, who placed her hands on her hips, annoyed by the boy.
"Why the hell do you want to go with me so bad?" She mouthed back. Chris shook his head, bobbing his head backwards to motion towards Mike and Sam who were currently engaged in a conversation, totally oblivious to the duo's actions.
"Why do you think?" Chris whispered this time. He then winked, as if that would emphasize his point.
"Oh god." Emily shook her head, sighing. "Fine." She turned towards Mike and Sam, speaking up. "I'm taking the nerd herd home. Feel free to do whatever you guys want to do." Emily mumbled, walking away angrily, Chris having to drag the half-asleep Ashley in an attempts to catch up to Emily.
"Well okay then..." Mike mumbled as he watched the trio dart off. He turned to face Jessica, stuffing his hands into his pockets. "Do you need a ride home?" He asked. The girl shook her head.
"Nah, I've got my car. Plus I offered to drive Matt home so I can't exactly leave him here." Jessica explained. Mike nodded, nodding to the girl in acknowledgment before he left.
"See you Jess." Sam smiled. Jessica grinned in return. How could you not? It was Sam.
"Bye Sam." And there she was, all alone in the stands of the football field. Well, there were still other students loitering around, but it was pretty cold and it was starting to get lonely.
She left the stands looked around the field, mentally kicking herself to not paying attention to where the team had run off to. Her eyes narrowed as she tried to see through the darkness, wondering where Matt could possibly be.
"There you are." Jessica muttered to herself, surprised that she hadn't seem him before. He was standing right in the middle of the field, his jersey and gear taken off, leaving him dressed in his usual Letterman jacket. In his left hand was his helmet.
Jessica jogged over to the boy, wondering whether to approach him or not. He, most likely, wasn't in the best mood after the devastating loss.
"Matt?" Jessica called out warily. The boy didn't respond.
She walked up to stand next to him, trying to get a look at his face. Matt's features were downcast as he looked at moon. It looked pretty depressing.
"Matt?" She repeated. He didn't respond, and she felt herself getting agitated pretty quickly. "Hey Matt! Jessica has arrived on the scene and you're kind of ignoring her!"
"What?" His tone was stern and cold, and sent a shiver down Jessica's spine. She shook her head, breathing out into the cold night. She could see her own breath, reminding her of how cold it really was.
She placed one of her hands on her hip, looking at Matt.
"Whoa buddy. No need to blow a fuse okay. Just here to talk." She brushed off the boy's anger, stuffing her free hand into her pocket.
"What's there to talk about?" He replied sharply. Jessica grunted, rolling her eyes.
"Well somebodies grumpy..." When Matt didn't respond, Jessica sighed in annoyance. She shuffled about in her spot for a few moments before she took a seat on the ground. At first she thought it was wet, but it was just really cold.
After sitting for a few minutes, Jessica heard Matt turn to face her. She kept her eyes on the moon disinterestedly, though. She already knew what was coming.
"Why are you still here? Obviously I want to be alone." Matt's tone rose significantly from before. Jessica scoffed, annoyed by the 'alpha male' offense coming from Matt.
"Dumb oaf...I'm your ride home." Jessica reminded the boy, vying to lie down on the grass, leaning the back of her head against her palms. Matt growled, quickly becoming agitated with Jessica's antics.
"Listen. I'll meet you at your car okay! I just want a minute." Matt was practically yelling by this point, which made Jessica's blood boil. Who cares if he was sad about losing or not? He didn't have to be a douche about it.
"No, you listen Matthew. Why are you being such an asshole?" Jessica retorted, sitting up from her spot on the ground. Frustration and annoyance was coursing through her veins. Matt was never mean unless he was really angry so the onslaught was sure to commence soon.
"Why? Why?! Why the fuck do you think Jess?" Matt cried, throwing his helmet against the ground in frustration. The noise caused Jessica to flinch as she scrambled off the ground to stand up. The helmet was not anywhere close to hitting her but she didn't want to take her chances. "Maybe we just lost the biggest game of the season? This was my time to shine! You know my grades, they suck! They really, fucking suck!"
Jessica watched Matt with pity as he continued to ramble on. The poor boy was, unfortunately, right. His grades were sub-par, he was struggling with the majority of his classes. Well, except for Physical Education of course.
Matt excelled at practically every sport Jessica could think off. He was rough and tough enough to play games like football and basketball, but calm and focused enough to play games like golf and volleyball. So the blond really didn't know what he had to worry about.
Some people just weren't...simple enough. Everything didn't need to be exaggerated.
A silence followed the outbreak. Matt was now kneeling on the ground, breathing loudly, while Jessica stood. It was late and she was tired and too much was going on for her tired brain.
"You did shine Matt. You should have seen yourself!" Jessica countered. Matt didn't respond, his fingertips playing idly around with pieces of grass.
"You're practically required to say that..." Matt mumbled. Jessica shook her head, laughing lightly.
"Why? Cause we're friends? Just because we're friends doesn't mean I'm scared of telling you the truth. I'll be blunt here, your academics are awful." Jessica said bluntly. Matt grunted, rolling his eyes.
"Wow thanks." He murmured, running a hand through his sweaty hair. Jessica bit her tongue so she wouldn't laugh too hard. This was classic Matt.
"But where you lack in smarts," Matt grunted again. "You make up for it in personality and, obviously, your athletics. I mean take a damn look at yourself Matt! You got a lot of things going for you. Just because you don't get into one university doesn't mean you'll get into another one." Jessica admitted truthfully.
Matt paused, digesting what the blond had just said. Jessica, on the outside, wasn't the nicest person in the world. But she was somebody you could rely on and always had your best interests at heart, even if she never admitted it.
"You always seem to know exactly what to say..." Matt mumbled, smiling lightly as he rose from where he sat, done feeling sorry for himself.
"People say I have a way with words, right Matthew?" Jessica spoke with a flirty tone, winking at the boy. Matt chuckled, rolling his eyes.
"Whatever you say." He walked over to the girl, averting his eyes in embarrassment. "I'm really sorry about freaking out at you. Totally uncool of me." Matt apologized guiltily. Jessica shook her head in response.
"Nah, it's fine. I expected it anyways." Jessica brushed him off, snuggling into her coat as she desperately tried to get warm, the cold never leaving the back of her mind. "Just glad to see you not down on yourself. You really did good, okay?" Jessica repeated reassuringly, hoping the boy got the message.
Matt nodded, grinning. "Thanks Jess. I owe you one." Matt stretched out, realizing by this time it was probably pretty late. "So is that ride home still up for grabs or did I 'douche my way out of it'?" Jessica laughed.
"Well if you're quick so I can get the hell home, I think we can break even." Matt chuckled along with her as they began their walk across the field, side by side as they talked about all the crap going on in their lives.
It was nice. Jessica was always a person Matt could rant to. Chris could never deal with all the negativity, Ashley never seemed to be paying attention, Emily quickly became annoyed with the ranting itself, and Mike was too busy for something so unimportant. Well, and there was Sam as well, but she was too busy having everybody else ranting to her.
The poor girl needed a break.
The drive home was in silence. Matt felt himself dozing off, struggling to get a grip on reality. He blinked multiple times, wishing he had some leftover water to splash in his face.
"Just go to sleep Matt. You deserve it, it's been a long day." Jessica's voice startled him slightly, but he quickly scrambled to hide it. The girl didn't even move her head as she kept her attention on the road, and for some reason, it made him feel kind of self-conscious.
But, in the end, he took her advice and got comfortable in his sleep, dozing off in the comfortable leather seat.
When he woke up they were sitting outside of his house in Jessica's car. He checked the clock and it revealed that it was around eleven by this time, shocking him completely by the jump in time.
"What the fuck...?" He looked around the car, trying to shake off the drowsiness etching at him in the back of his mind. When he found out the solution-well, more like reason-to his problem, he smiled.
Jessica slept contentedly, her head leaning against her seat, a smile painted across her face. She was using her jacket as a blank, and the heat was turned up quite a bit.
Matt assumed that the girl had probably just wanted to catch a few minutes of sleep that turned into a couple of hours instead. He shook his head, chuckling lightly as he reached over, prepared to wake the girl up.
As he reached over, he suddenly felt himself fall into a compromising position. He didn't realize when he had gotten so close to the blond's face or why his hand was reaching over her, resting on the door handle.
He shook off the heat rushing through him. What the hell was he doing? Him and Jessica were just friends, nothing more, nothing less. I mean, not to mention the huge crush on Emily he had been harboring for quite a while.
But by this point in time it didn't really seem like she felt the same way.
He sighed, and then snapped back to reality when he realized he was still leaning over Jessica like some kind of creep. Mentally kicking himself for doing something so stupid, he prepared to lean back and shake her awake when his eyes suddenly flickered towards her face.
You know, when she isn't yelling stupid shit or being such a bitch, she actually looks pretty cute. Well, maybe most people wouldn't agree with Matt in that statement, telling him that Jessica looked pretty cute all the time. But now her features were softened and vulnerable, not like her usual caked in make up 'I'm a tough bitch' expression.
"What the hell am I doing?" He mumbled quietly, deciding he had enough of being the overly attached friend as he decided to pull back this time before he did something too stupid.
"Dumb oaf..." Jessica's voice caused Mike to yelp as he immediately moved around in a startled fashion, accidentally banging his head against the car mirror.
"Ow!" He cried, rubbing his head in annoyance. Jessica rolled her eyes, her cheeks rosy in frustration and...something else.
"So some fat-ass layered in padding hurts less then the mirror in my car?" Jessica scoffed, rolling her eyes for second time. Matt arched an eyebrow at the girl.
"Whoa, what's got you so mad?" Matt asked, still feeling kind of weird since he was practically hovering over Jessica. But if he pulled away the blond would immediately noticed and then he would really be in trouble.
"...I've been awake the whole time Matt. Well, you reaching over to assault me it what woke me up to be exact." Matt's face went red at the claim, and he shook his head wildly.
"No! I d-didn't mean to! Uh, I mean, it was just to wake you up!" Dammit. Yeah, the situation probably didn't look to great in the girl's eyes, which was perfect for Matt. He was about to move when Jessica made noise of protest and annoyance.
"What?" He asked, the heat in his cheeks dying down as tiredness replaced whatever he had felt before. Yes, whatever he had felt before merely was some kind of side effect due to the hard work today. He certainly didn't like Jessica.
Well of course he liked Jessica! Just not in that...way.
Just kiss me already
"Huh?" Was all he could say dumbly. He mentally kicked himself. "I mean, pardon?" He repeated, surprised by the light blush that appeared on Jessica's cheeks as her once vulnerable features turned to ones of annoyance and anger.
"Fucking idiot..." Jessica muttered angrily. This time Matt could tell what Jessica had said, but he wouldn't even had to have heard it word by word because the tone just told him it was something negative.
"What? You know, you can't really be a bitch to me if I have no idea what you're talking about." Matt exasperatedly. Jessica scoffed for the umpteenth time that night. It had been an odd night between the two of them. Oddly emotional.
"Just kiss me you dumb-ass!" The sudden declaration had surprised Matt.
Actually, surprise was an understatement. It changed the fragment of reality and screwed up everything he thought he knew. What the hell? Didn't Jessica like Mike? That's what the girl had told him, but clearly, that wasn't the case anymore.
And didn't he like Emily? So why the hell was he leaning in? Maybe it was just a dream. Dreams were very often very weird and odd and emotional, so this could easily explain everything.
...Right?
So when his lips made contact with Jessica's, he instantly concluded it was dream. Of course, it all made sense now. Nobodies lips could possibly taste like that. It was a mixture of strawberry and cherry lip gloss.
Not to mention the heat and warmth building up in his stomach. That was obviously not real, nobody could feel something that nice. Right?
When they both pulled away, the first thing he had done was move to pinch himself. It was total shock when he felt pain.
"What's up with that look?" Jessica asked, her cheeks rosy as she breathed quickly from the loss of air to her lungs through the long kiss. His look-or whatever it was-was starting to make her feel self-conscious. She didn't like that feeling.
"I'm just surprised I'm not dreaming, that's all." Jessica arched an eyebrow at his response.
"The fuck is that supposed to...?" She was cut off by another kiss from Matt.
HEYY! So this was an AU oneshot, and I think I came up with a game plan of what this story is going to be.
I'm going to do a rewrite of the main story that'll contain different shippings and then post different oneshots in between. Of course it will mostly be in Matt's POV since we barely see him and Jessica throughout the story :D
