Chapter Six
Matt and Karen sat in the airplane and they both didn't know what to say to each other. They were too busy thinking of their partners, and the world.
'Karen, I hate to be the first one to say it, but I'm really worried.' Matt looked at Karen with a sad look.
'Oh Matt, it's okay, I'm really worried too. I just don't know what to tell him.' Karen looked down.
'Me neither.'
The trip seemed to take forever; Matt stared at the clouds, and looked on his phone.
Karen tried to sleep, but she couldn't. She had bad stomach aches; she always tends to get them when she's nervous, or sad. Karen popped in her earplugs of her I-Pod, and the song Together by Patrick Wolf started playing.
'I can't do this alone… We can do this so much better…. Together, together, together. I can't make it alone, but we can make it so much better, Together, Together, Together, To-gether.'
Karen shot a look at Matt, and caught him sleeping. Her mind started making pictures of her and Matt together on a trip, with all of their friends. She had a beautiful dress on. Matt was kissing her and holding her in front of everyone. 'But why?' Karen's mind spoke to her. 'Why is Matt holding and kissing me in front of everyone? Do they know?'
For a moment, Karen wished the dream was reality that everyone already knew. And that no one hated her or Matt. And she could finally be with the man of her dreams.
But no, of course. This is reality. Reality is that Matt finally admitted loving Karen. She admitted loving him, because she really did. But the bad thing of reality was that they admitted it at the wrong time. She heard her I-pod pop to the song Orson – No tomorrow.
'You're the only one that can get me on my feet and I can't even dance. I don't care what anyone thinks of me, I got a girl that thinks I rock. Everybody is staring at the outfit you're wearing, and I love it when they check you out.'
'God, it looks like Matt is saying this. This would be no difference if Matt would say it. He loves it when people check me out, he told me in Spain when Spanish guys tried to hit on me. And of course, he can't dance.' Karen looked at Matt and giggled. This woke Matt, he smiled at Karen and he asked her;
'What's up Kazza?'
'Nothing, really. I just giggled at a song. It matches you.' Karen smiled at Matt, and slowly grabbed his hand.
Matt looked around him, hoping there weren't any fans, but there were just Spanish people that went to England for their vacation. So then he grabbed Karen's hand back firmly, and placed a kiss on her hand.
'If it's the song this is why I'm hot then yeah, duh.' Matt chuckled. Karen giggled.
Karen and Matt talked about other stuff, how amazing Spain was, and eventually Karen managed to fall asleep.
Matt grabbed Karen's I-Pod and it automatically started playing a song by
Mumford and Sons.
'Can you lie next to her, and give her your heart, your heart? As well as your body and, Can you lie next to her and confess her your love, your love?'
Matt looked at Karen whilst listening to the song, and he got kind of emotional. The band's songs are so powerful, and they really hit your heart. It got to evening, they were almost in London. They were expected at 22:30. It was 22:00.
The plane started the landing procedure. Matt heard the pilot say ' Cabin crew prepare for landing.'
Spain is over. They are back to their old life, back to their old partners.. they can't be seen together in a couple minutes anymore.
Both realizing this, they looked at each other and then shared a last passionate kiss.
'I love you Karen. Always have.' Matt kissed her forehead.
'And I love you, Matt. Always will.' Karen kissed his cheek.
She looked through the window of the arrivals section. She couldn't see Matt just yet. Hm, maybe she should just look out for a girl with ridiculous red hair.
'How does he even... want to be around a girl so hideous like her?' Her thoughts seared through her head. She was wearing leather pants, red heels that were way too high for the airport, a black and white Chanel top, and a little red scarf. She wore her hair in a ponytail and her lips were cherry red. Looking around her, she saw a skinny tall man standing close to her. He had long black hair, and black stubbles on his chin and upper lip. He was wearing biker boots, black jeans, and a blue-white striped shirt. 'Maybe him.' she thought.
After Matt and Karen got their luggage, they headed to the arrivals part. This is it. Matt thought. I'm returning to the same girl, the girl I cheated on. She doesn't have a single clue.
Matt and Karen looked at each other with love, for the last time. Matt quickly grabbed her pinky and then let go again. He mouthed 'I pinky swear.'
Karen smiled, and they walked through the doors, facing all their fans, and their partners.
Daisy Lowe immediately rushed to Matt and gave him a long kiss with passion. Karen couldn't help but look the other way. Patrick Green walked over to Karen, and gave her a long hug, followed by a short kiss.
Photographers were going mad, taking pictures of every single split second. Matt, Karen, Daisy and Patrick walked out of the airport, said goodbye politely to each other, with Matt and Karen giving each other a long look. 'Seeya Kaz.' 'Later Smithers.'
Patrick was driving his car and looked to his left side. Karen was looking through the window with a worried look.
'Are you alright, love?'
Patrick's voice had this rustle in it. As if he was a massive rock star who sang too much, and smoke too much. Karen wondered if his voice was the reason she fell in love with Patrick.
'Karen? you alive?'. Nope. not his voice. His clothes, then?
Karen turned to her right and looked at Patrick with a smile. Nope. 'I'm alright, Patrick. Just tired of all the interviews.' Yeah, sure. that was what she was tired of. Not the long hot nights of terrific endless sex with the Doctor.
Patrick's bed abilities weren't so bad though. But you couldn't possibly fall in love with a person through just bed abilities. Was it because of the ease? because she kind of had to?
Yes.
'So, tell me babe. How was your trip?' Daisy smiled whilst looking at Matt. She had offered to drive, because Matt was 'tired' too. 'Oh it was fine, just millions of interviews to go to, hundreds of sightseeing things.' Yep, sightseeing Karen's body was the most interesting one for sure.
'Didn't you get tired of Karen's, Irishness?' Daisy chuckled to her own little joke.
'No I didn't. And she is Scottish by the way, darling.' Matt struggled to smile at her. But he did, otherwise she would suspect something. 'I really cannot imagine you wouldn't.'
'God keep calm Matt... Don't say anything stupid now.' Matt thought.
'Well she IS a firecracker.' That was honestly the best he could do.
They arrived in Matt's home. Daisy was changing her outfit into a sexy nightgown in order to seduce Matt.
Matt turned around and saw Daisy lying on bed seductively in her red lingerie. 'I missed you tiger...'
Matt had to blink at least twice to get the image of Karen's amazing legs out of his mind when he looked at Daisy.
'Kar- uh.. Daise you look amazing.' He quickly faked a cough and began to be obvlious, picking random things up and putting them back down, looking everywhere around him but to her.
'What did you just say?! Did you just want to say Karen..' Daisy noticed Matt's terrible strange behavior and confronted him.
'Something happened didn't it? Something happened with you and Karen!' Daisy started to get tears in her eyes because Matt just simply didn't answer but looked down to his feet.
'TELL ME THE TRUTH, MATT!' She shouted.
'Babe..
I- I'm sorry.'
