"Need some help with that?"

I turned around slowly as I heard his voice. He was fully clothed. Thank God. He was dressed for work.

He smiled his sexiest smile. The one that turned me into a puddle. I smiled back.

"No, I got it"

"Smells like a little bit of heaven in here"

I got the coffee maker to make coffee and turned to Matt
"Just the usual. You hungry?"

He looked at me with what seemed like lust
"Starving" his eyes had gone darker

He was thinking of something else I didn't want to think of.

I put some bacon, scrambled eggs and pancakes on a plate and gave it to Matt
"You seem more happier today" I noted

He smiled

I took another plate and put little of everything in it. I caught him staring at me
"What?" I smiled at him

"Nothing"

I made his coffee and my tea, I joined him on the table and we began to eat.

"My sister called today. She asked for your number"

"Oh?" I was surprised

"Remember she said she wanted to have a drink with you?"

"Yea?"

"Well, today's her day off"

"She wants to meet today?"

"Yea, she said she was gonna give you a call to let you know but I'm telling you to give you a heads a up"

"Thanks" I smiled at him

"Aren't you going to work today?" He asked curiously

"I was gonna tell you yesterday but I slept off"

"Tell me what?" His brows creased in curiosity

"I quit the gym and Kat's cause once I start school, I won't have time, I'll have to study and attend classes"

He nodded "I understand. I was gonna tell you to do the same. Guess we think alike" he smiled

I smiled back at him.

"I would love to stay with you all day but I've got an important meeting with the board"

"I'm fine. Go" I said

"I'm sorry" he got up and was about leaving

"Matt?" I got up.

He looked at me. I went to him and hugged him. His arms went round me.

"Thank you for yesterday"

He pulled me back and looked at my face. He pushed a strand of hair behind my ear and smiled
"I love you Anna" he said

I blushed remembering what I told him when he was asleep.

He waited for a moment.

"Get out of here"

He giggled
"See you later" he kissed my forehead and went out of the house

I was bored out of my bones. I was on the second movie. Why did I quit my jobs when I had till next week before I resumed.

I sighed.

My phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Anna, its Elsa" I heard a low feminine voice

"Elsa, hi"

"Hmm, I was wondering if you were free"

"I am."

"Good, can we meet at Kat's?"

"Yea, sure"

"Ok, cool. See you there in twenty"

"Ok" I hung up

Thank God for small miracles

Boredom wasn't fun.

I was at Kat's a few minutes early

"Belle?" I heard Kat call

I smiled and went to her

"Hey Kat"

She smiled "How's Mr. Hot?"

I giggled "He's great"

"Good. Can't wait for you guys to get married and have kids and grow old together..."

"Don't hold your breath"

"What are you doing here? You're obviously not here to see me dressed like that. Who are you trying to impress?"

"Elsa; Matt's sister. She called to meet up here"

"Oh, is she nice?"

"She's just like you. Fun"

"Oh, good. I thought she was one of those spoilt rich brats that want their brother dating a super model or one of those A-list girls. I was gonna break her ass into half" she grinned

I smiled at what she said. Typical of Kat.

"Anna?" I turned around to the now familiar voice

"Elsa" I said

She hugged me.

"Elsa, meet Kat my sister/friend, Kat this is Elsa; Matt's sister"

"Nice to meet you" Kat stretched her hand

Elsa shook her hand
"I've heard a lot about you from my brother. You're the over-protective bestfriend/sister"

"You could say that" Kat smiled

"I picked this place cause I wanted to meet you in person"

"Oh"

"Do you have time to chat?" Elsa asked Kat

"I could spare a few" she said

"Good"

"Jesse, you're in charge now" Kat said as we made our way to an empty table

An hour later we were still at it.

"Oh My God, Mr. Hot? How in the world did you come up with a name like that?" Elsa asked Kat

"He was..."

I smiled at the both of them. They were gonna be great friends soon.

My phone rang.

"Sorry" I said to them when they both stopped talking

"Hello?" I picked the call

"Hey babe" I heard the voice of the man I loved so much. I blushed at his sexy voice.

Elsa and Kat were smiling at me. Like they already knew who it was.

"Hi. How did the meeting go?"

"Great. I still have some paper work to get to but I can't wait to see you"

"Finish them and come home. I'll see you there"

"Ok. Are you with my sister?"

"Yea, were in Kat's with Kat"

"You guys having fun?"

"Yea"

"Okay. I'll see you in a bit"

"Bye"

"Love you." He hung up

I put the phone in my bag.

When will I have the courage to tell him that I love him.

I looked up at Elsa and Kat and they were both giving me a I-know-your-secret smile

The smile on my face vanished
"What?"

"You haven't told him, have you?" Elsa asked

"Told him what?" I asked

"That you love him" Kat said

Silence.
Is it that obvious?

"You're such a chicken" Elsa said

"I told him" I said

"You did?" Elsa asked

"Of course she didn't" Kat said "If she did she wouldn't be here with us, she'll be stuck in bed with Mr. Hot"

"Oh My God, I don't even wanna picture that" Elsa said covering her ears

Kat and I laughed. She smiled.

"I actually did tell him, this morning, when he was asleep"

"Oh, for Pete's sake, the guy is head over heels in love with you and all you do is tell him you love him when he's asleep? How convenient for you" Kat said

"You've gotta tell him Anna" Elsa "Even though he knows you love him, there'd be nothing more important for him than to hear you say it"

I thought about it and nodded my head
"I'll tell him"

"Today" Elsa said

"What?" I looked at her in surprise. "Kat? Help me out here"

She raised her hands like she was about to be arrested "I'm gonna go with Elsa on this one"

"Yea, thanks for sticking up for me"

"Its for your happiness" Kat said "I know you'll be more happy when he knows and you just let yourself love him"

I sighed
"Fine, I'll tell him today"

Elsa and Kat smiled
"Good for you" they both said

***********************************************************

I got home tired after I got back from Kat's.

Yea, I just said 'home'. Cause it does feel like home.

"Anna, is that you?" I heard Matt

"Matt?" I was surprised that he was home

I made my way to the kitchen and found him with his shirt un-tucked preparing dinner. I smiled cause it was the best thing I've ever seen. He looked so homey yet sexy cooking dinner with his work clothes.

He turned to look at me and he smiled
"Why are you smiling?"

"Cause you look hot cooking dinner with your work clothes" I said

"Guess that's why I have the nickname 'Mr. Hot'"

I laughed "Yea" I went to help him "When did you get home?"

"Bout an hour ago" he guessed

"Why didn't you call me, I would've come back you know"

"I figured you were having fun with my sister and Kat"

"Yea, it was pretty fun when they ganged up on me"

"About what?" He asked now leaving the food on the fire to cook.

I cleared the table "About me loving you and..." Shit!

I just said that out loud didn't I?

"You loving me?"

I pretended not to hear and continued with what I was doing but Matt was not gonna let me get away with it. Not now, not ever.

"Anna?" He came close to me

"Hmm"

"Look at me and tell me what you just said"

I didn't oblige.

He put his arm around my waist and pulled me to him, then I looked at him breathing fast.

"Now repeat what you said"

"T-they told me, to tell you that I love you and that I'll be a coward and a chicken if I didn't"

A moment passed.

I was embarrassed so I put my face down. Matt put his fingers under my chin and brought my face to his.

"Do you?" He asked

"Do I what?"

"Love me?" He asked

He waited for my answer. My heart was pounding and my pulse had gone over the roof.

It was now or never.

"I do. I guess I always have. I just needed time to figure it out. I was scared and unsure. But now I'm positive...I Love you Matt, more that anything. I don't want to lose you. I would never survive without you. I Love you, only you, no one else"

He smiled tentatively.

He leaned into me slowly and kissed me with love and tenderness. It was slow and gentle.

"I Love you too. I was wondering if you were ever gonna tell me when I wasn't asleep" he smiled

What did he me...Shit! He heard me this morning.

"I thought you were asleep" I was so embarrassed

"I was, till I felt you staring at me"

"Oh My God!" I covered my face

"Anna" he chuckled "Its okay. I held on to it cause I wasn't sure when you were gonna tell me to my face"

He smiled and I smiled back at him.

A moment passed and we became sober.

"I Love you" he said

"I Love you too" I said

He leaned in and kissed me like our lives depended on it.

I moaned. He deepened the kiss and twirled his tongue in my mouth. It was hot, passionate and burning.

"Matt..." I moaned

"Anna!" He said with a warning tone

"...aren't you hungry?" I managed to ask with his lips now on my neck

"I am...only for you my love" he said and kissed me hard and rough on my mouth. The passion enveloped us and filled the room.

"Anna, I can't wait any longer" he said

"Me too"

He turned the gas off and carried me to our room.
