Summers End

Chapter 27 - Summers End

“Matt we’re going,” I heard Madi say snapping me back into reality.

“Okay,” Matt stuttered coming back to his senses.

“So I have a name that I really like,” I announce.

“Me to,” Matt said, like it was a coincidence.

“On the count of three, ready one, two, three,” I count.

At the same time we say our favourite name.

“Piper.”

“Are you kidding me,” I wondered shocked that he said the same name as me.

“Are kidding me,” he wondered in the same state of shock.

“Why Piper,” I questioned.

“It was my favourite story when I was a kid The Pied Piper always thought Piper was a cool word or name,” Matt informed me.

“Me too.”

“So Piper it is,” Matt asked.

“Piper it is.”

“What else did you bring,” he queried.

“I’ve got board games,” I announce.

“Let’s play.”

“How much longer do we have to go for,” Matt whined.

“Oh you’re just saying that cause your losing,” I joked.

“You’re cheating,” Matt said.

“Yeah right I never cheat,” I announce, “Now pick up that card.”

Matt did as I said, firstly reading it to himself a sly smile appearing on his face he must’ve gotten a good card then.

“You have to kiss the player of your choice on the lips for 10 seconds like you mean it,” he announced saying each word alone.

“That’s funny now seriously what does it say,” I laughed.

“I’m not lying Bell,” Matt chuckled.

 “Give me that,” I snatch the card out of his hand then read it.

I sat there reading the card slightly shaking my head my cheeks becoming red.

“It’s a dirty truth or dare card,” Matt announced.

“But how we’re play monopoly,” I questioned.

“I don’t know but you told me that you always have to do what the cards say,” Matt announced shrugging his shoulders.

“Fine,” I gave in.

I moved closer crossing my legs, looking up to him through my lashes lightly biting my lip, Matt placed his hand underneath my chin pulling my head so I was looking at him propyl, we leaned in before a sudden movement by Matt made our lips crash together.

After a second or two our lips started to move in unison, I placed my hands on the back of Matts head moving closer in; my fingers starting to grab hold of Matts still beach like blonde hair, he ran his hand down my back; the ten seconds have come and gone.

We moved to the back of his bed Matt’s back resting on the wall; I sat on his lap my legs wrapped around his waist as we continued to kiss just like we used to.

I cocked my head to the side as Matt kissed down my neck lightly a small premature moan escaped my lips… damn these pregnancy hormones.

But that one moan brought us back into reality.

I pulled back tucking a piece of hair behind my ear.

“Well um… okay,” I spoke to myself.

“I’m sorry,” Matt muttered.

“How’s your head is it okay,” I wondered brushing his hair off his forehead looking at the Band-Aid.

“It fine,” Matt replied brushing away my hand.

He then lifted my shirt to show my belly nice and fully of baby, then lightly kissed my belly I couldn’t help but watch in awe… he was such a cutie.

“I love you,” Matt muttered, my cheeks reddening slightly at those words.

“I heard what you said Bell,” Matt announced looking up at me.

“What did I say,” I wondered resting my hand on his shoulder.

“I wanted to say this at big fancy restaurant or a magical beach,” Matt started, “but I’ve come to realise it doesn’t matter where I say it as long as it’s to you.”

“What are you talking about?” I questioned.

“Bell, I love you,” Matt announced.

I took a deep breath looking to the ground smiling weakly to myself.

Bell,” Matt repeated lifting up my chin to face him, “I love you.”

“I love you too,” I replied tears welling up in my eyes.

“You reckon we can be a family,” Matt questioned a smile on his face… but this smile was more than his goofy one or his sly one or happy one this smile was a combination of a three and may I say I love this one the most.

“Yes I think we can,” I answered nodding my head.

“I love you so, so much,” Matt stated before placing his hand on the back of my head pulling me in to meet his lips and this kiss was one that was fall of passion and for the first time love.

“I have a question to ask,” Matt asked.

“What Matt,” I wondered thinking what he could possibly want to ask me.

“Will you be my girlfriend… again?”

“It would be an honour,” I replied ending with a kiss.
