Matthew's POV
The view from the very top of the Ferris wheel is amazing. We don't even go home for dinner. But screw that right now. Right now, I'm with the love of my life, and I know that she's in love with me too. Tess is snuggled against my body, the color of her sweater matching the sky outside.
"Matt, this was the best day I've had in a long time," she says quietly, reading my thoughts.
"Same here, love." She looks up at me and sneaks a kiss that misses my lips by a millimeter.
The Ferris wheel ride starts and I have my arm around her. I hold her closer to me and she whispers, "I love you, and thanks so much."
"It's not a big deal. I'd take you to the moon if I could. If you wanted."
"I already am," she says, quietly still, as if a thing has taken over her. "I'm over the moon." Her ears turn red as she tucks a hair behind her ear. "Do you think the paparazzi know we're here?" she asks, changing the subject.
"I don't care." I feel like we kissed the rest of the Ferris wheel ride.
When we leave the car, that's when we know something's wrong.
"There they are!" a high-pitched, over-excited voice screams. I quickly see the four girls from the line for the Haunted Mansion ride. The heads turn to us and there are the photographers. "Run!" I yell to Tess, grabbing her hand.
She laughs and runs with me. "To the car!" she shrieks.
The dedicated photographers chase us all the way to the lot. The lazy ones stay back and snap away from afar. I laugh as we take off toward home.
When we arrive home, I'm expecting angry parents on the foyer, armed with reprimands, but I know that they trust Tess and me together now. Plus, they might still be occupied.
It's seven o'clock now, and I have no idea what to do for the rest of the night. "Tess, what do you want to do tonight?"
She shrugs. "I don't know we could watch a movie."
So we do.
Tess's POV
I enter Matt's bedroom wearing his long-sleeved shirt. He's drying his hair, and he's wearing only pajama pants. He turns around. "Hey," he says, putting the towel back in the bathroom.
"Hiya," I reply.
He returns to his desk and writes on something. I approach him and put my arms around his shoulders. "What are you doing?"
Matt shuts the notebook and turns around to face me. "Nothing that will make a big impact on you."
Okay, that's it. I know he's hiding something from me. I open my mouth to speak, but he puts his lips on mine, preventing from saying anything at all. I fight myself to get lost in the kiss, like I always do, but I can't.
I pull away. "Matthew, you're hiding something from me."
He kisses me again. "Matthew."
"What?" he says, putting his hands on my face. "It's nothing. Really."
"You're lying," I reply. "Your eyes won't focus on me. They go to some other corner of the room. Your mother does it too."
He puts his forehead against mine and rests his blue eyes on me. "Okay, fine. I was writing you another letter for your birthday tomorrow. I wanted it to be a surprise but..."
I look back at him. "Do you promise you're not lying?"
"I promise. I cross my heart. Pinkie promise."
I hold up my pinkie. "Promise?"
He links his finger with mine. "Promise."
"I'm tired. Let's go to sleep."
"Okay."
Matt settles in bed next to me with my back to his stomach. "Good night, my precious."
I groan. "That guy was creepy. One of the weirdest movies by far."
"It's a classic! The books were even better. I promise."
I laugh. "Good night."
"Good night."
Tess's POV
I wake up feeling cold. Where's Matthew?
And as if we have a telepathic connection, he enters the room with a tray and a smile. "Happy birthday!" he announces.
I'm upset his abs are hidden from sight, but I sit up and smile. "Thank you! What is that?" I point at the tray in his hands.
"This is your breakfast. I made it myself."
And I figured out there are still things that make me fall deeper in love.
This isn't the most eloquently written chapter, but I hope you still liked the fluff. I promise the next will be a little more detailed because it's the ball scene.
