She’s making me feel obsessed

Matty pulls away from our kiss, his eyes are completely closed and I notice his breathing is just as ragged as mine. He opens his eyes to look at me and I don't want to lose him. Somehow even though I have only known him briefly I can't imagine not being able to gaze into his eyes. Deep green eyes that hold mystery and power.

His hands are resting on my thighs near my bum. He lifts one of his hands up and pushes my curly hair off of my shoulders.

"I don't want you to feel like that ever again" he says sincerely.

I lower my mouth to his and lightly kiss him, he tries to deepen the kiss but I smile and stop kissing him.

"Ah it was worth a shot" he chuckles.

"If you keep kissing me like that, we will never be able to get off of each other" I laugh.

Pulling myself off of him he takes my hand and holds onto it. I don't remember feeling this way ever with Tom, and especially not so soon. I feel like I'm a stupid teenager in some movie falling in love for the first time.

He walks towards my door, I don't want him to leave. But part of me knows he must, I need a bit of thinking space. He pulls on his leather jacket and scrapes his hair back, a gesture I'm already used to. I have no choice but to gawk at him. He's utterly perfect.

He smiles, "can you do me one thing?" he asks, his eyes enchanting me.

Let's face it he could ask anything of me and I'd say yes.

"drop me a message" he says

"I've got your number and then I'll know you've got mine" he clarifies

I nod. He waits a minute before kissing me again.

"Go on before I drag you upstairs" I laugh.

"I'm going" he says putting his hands up in mock protest.

***Matty's POV***

Walking out and unlocking my car I can't stop thinking about her. But right now I must if I'm going to get anything done today.

She's probably in there right now dealing with Tod/Tom, I just know he would have messaged her after that fight. Desperate loser that he is.

I'm sure though that the way I dealt with the whole situation has secured my place in her life. The way she held onto me sitting in my lap, she's making me feel obsessed.

I'm glad she invited me in and even more glad that she opened up to me. I feel the anger rise as I remember her expression, the pain and hurt in her eyes prickling with tears. I want to go and find him and hurt him even more. But something tells me she wouldn't want me fighting her battles.

My phone pings and I glance at it, it's a message from her. I'll look at it and save her number when I'm not driving. The tension instantly dissipates from me knowing that she has messaged me. I can focus now on what I must get done in order to begin being the kind of person she is going to give a chance. A guy who deserves her loyalty and affection.

***Taylor's POV***

I stand there for a few minutes wanting to call him back into the house. That last kiss in my kitchen, it was so intense, I have never been kissed with that passion and urgency. After some deliberation I decide to shake it off. I need to make myself busy.

Firstly I'm going to send that text to him, I head into the kitchen and retrieve my phone from the side. I have 1 more message from Tom. It's beginning to piss me off that he won't just exit my life quietly. It's like he's determined to bring me down. I swipe it away. I will ignore him until he stops.

I start messaging Matty instead. What to say? I don't want to sound stupid. I've never messaged him before. I settle for just writing my name on the message with a kiss. That's cool enough I decide.

I then go up to my room, putting my bag down and getting out some clean clothes. I decide on having a long shower after last nights partying.

After drying my hair and putting on my own clean clothes, I go downstairs and put Matty's sisters clothes through the machine checking the labels properly so I don't damage her stuff.

I really hope I get to meet her sometime.

Perhaps I'm getting a bit ahead of myself here. I mean I have literally just met him, I start to think about the things that I do know about him and realise that it's actually not a great deal.

Rhea's voice springs into my mind from yesterday warning me that he has a bit of a reputation. If that's true, I must be like a magnet to guys like that.

I make myself some lunch, weirdly nothing is interesting to me at the moment. Everything seems mundane and boring without him. Whatever did I spend my days doing before he took up all of my thoughts. I decide on having some cheese on toast, and laugh at the memory of the toast all over his kitchen floor last night.

My phone starts to ring, I'm about to screen it for Tom and hang up when I see that it is Rhea.

I answer.

"Hey" she says as the call connects. She sounds sleepy. And instantly the nights activities catch up with me and I feel tired myself.

"Hi, how's you" I retaliate

"Ohh no we are not talking about me" she laughs.

"I have no news, pass" I laugh trying to be candid.

"Bullshit Tay. What happened with Ross" she is direct.

"Ross yeah he's a good friend" I say non committing.

"friend!? You were pretty much all over each other all night"

I'm going to just tell her. She will know what my best course of action is. She's my best friend.

"So I kind of did something a bit bad" I say to her.

She's silent waiting for me to go on

"I did like Ross a lot. I mean I still do. But I kind of kissed Matty. Don't tell anyone else yet, I'm not sure what to do about the whole thing" the words tumble out. She's quiet on the line and my cheeks redden and I feel hot.

"When you guys left this morning, he drove me home, Matty I mean and I kinda let him kiss me again. Oh and Tom was waiting outside the house begging for me back and Matty witnessed the whole thing" I stop take a breath.

"Matty and Ross. Woah." Is all she says.

I wait, I know she is not finished. I'm not going to tell her all of the details of what me and Matty have done. I'll keep them to myself.

"So you're single, what's the big deal? Don't beat yourself up about liking both of them. I would get to know them better play it cool and see where it all goes. My money is on Ross though" she says.

"And please just be careful" she adds.

The trouble with that is I am pretty sure I have fallen for Matty.

"What did you say to Tom" she asks after a brief pause.

"I was so angry, I told him to leave me alone" I tell her.

"I really think I am done with him" I say confidently. I can sense her smile over the phone. Goal achieved.

"How was your night" I ask playfully

"It was exceptional, I've fallen for him Tay. I'm seeing him tonight again. He's coming over." She says and I can tell she's head over heels.

"Let's meet again soon yeah? head to the park and see everyone again, we could go into town before hand too and get coffee from Starbucks" she asks. She can get coffee, I'm not a fan but I love hot chocolate.

That sounds like a plan to me.

We say bye I wish her luck for tonight and hang up. I feel better having spoken to her. I put Matty's sisters clothes in the dryer. Then feeling completely worn out I go upstairs and put Netflix on and end up falling asleep.
