"Come over here and give me cuddles you dumb dork" I say scooting over to the left side of the bed.

"Can I go get a snack first?" Matthew whines, slumping his shoulders.

"Fine, you better bring me a popsicle!" I say slouching back on my bed while he walks out.

I hear my phone ring, groaning in annoyance already knowing who it is.

74th text today..probably says something like, "Isabella can we talk? I promise it's not what it looks like."

I turn my phone on silent and slam it on my dresser.

Fuck off Joaquin

"Alright I'm back and I have...POPCORN AND POPSICLES!!" Matthews says while placing the snacks down and jumping in bed.

I giggle at how silly he is, as I feel his arms snake around my waist, his body heat warming up my cold body.

I sigh in relief, snuggling closer to Matthew.

"Isabella we are practically spooning I don't know how close you can get bef-"

"Shut up you dork, you need to control those thoughts."

"Can't help it, I've never been there."

I turn around to face him.

"Wait, you've never had sex?" I ask slightly surprised.

He nods his head, "You took my first kiss too."

My breath hitches slightly, that memory flooding through my head.

I slightly jump when I feel his hand on my cheek.

"You took my first kiss too.." I say shyly.

He smiles and kisses my nose, "You're so adorable, do you know that?"

I feel my face heating up. "I mean-"

Before I could even finish my sentence I feel soft lips being placed on mine.

I feel myself get tense, but my lips slowly start to move along with his.

Such a great kisser

I feel him nibble at my lip, asking for entrance which I gladly let him.

"Matt..hew..." I say slightly gasping as I feel him exploring my mouth.

"Hmm.." He says pulling away, breathing really hard.

I slightly whimper from the lost of contact, my heart feeling like it's being pulled from my body.

"What was that for?" I ask resting my forehead on his, feeling his warm, minty breath on my face.

I hear his breath hitch, his eyes filled with fear and concern.

"Isabella, you deserve so much better. Whenever I hear you crying over the phone, or watching you in class looking so lost in your mind. It makes me so mad that he's the cost of all your strange behavior. The fact that he's using you like a chew toy just drives me insane. I'm not trying to scare you off but I really feel like I fell for you, your beauty, innocence, personality, and generosity. I don't see any flaws in you and it makes me so happy to see you. I want to show you that I'm so much better and I can treat you the way you deserve to be treated, like a queen. I don't think you notice all the stares of jealousy, admiration, and awe people give you. You make almost every boy drool and you don't even see it. It's alright if you reject me, I still want to be your best friend. I'll always be here for you and I want you to know that, I love you Isabella." He says looking down shyly.

I probably look like a fish right now because my mouth is wide open. I hope I'm not deaf cause I swear I just heard Matthew says he loves me. Why do I feel dizzy, why am I heating up?

"I-I..woah.." I say with a loss of words.

He softly chuckles, his face turning into a sad smile.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to put all that weight on you I just thought you needed to know."

I feel him get up, and I don't know what happened to make me say this but I did it.

"Wait, I'm really confused about my feelings about you so can we just take it slow and maybe we could become something more than friends..?"

I see his eyes fill with hope and happiness..he walks over to me, picking me up and spinning me around.

"I'm definitely willing to win your beautiful heart Izzie." He says finally putting me down.

He lays me down on the bed, putting his body right beside me.

"I promise I'll show you what a gentlemen is."

We touch noses, just admiring our faces, I noticed all his details and that's when I realize.

Matthew is my happiness..
