Modern Swinger

"What?" I asked shocked.

He looked up at me and frowned.

"You heard me!" He snapped.

I shook my head.

"No, I didn't. Just tell me." I said with pleading eyes.

All I wanted was for him to tell me what was going on in his mind.

He sighed. Then he grabbed me by my wrist and took me inside the closet room. I turned on the light and looked around.

We were in a closet with a small counter.

Matt stood by the door contemplating on what to say.

I sighed and pulled myself on the counter.

Matt locked the door, and walked over to me. He placed himself in between my legs.

"If I tell you, will you just listen, until I finish?" He asked sincerely.

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. This was not the Matt that I've known.

This was his soft, sensitive side. He normally is cocky, and just assumes all the ladies want him.

"Ok." I said slowly with a small nod.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "I like you, and I mean, I like you, like you. I know I've been a real asshole in the past, but I just want to start over with you." He said softly.

I froze.

My heart was racing.

My palms were sweating.

I didn't know what to do.

First the songs, and now, he confesses his feelings to me?

"Matt, I I-just don't know." I sighed.

He sighed. "I knew it." He mumbled.

Matt was getting ready to walk out when I grabbed his wrist.

"Don't leave, I wasn't finished." I spoke softly.

He turned around and looked at me confused.

"I just don't want to get hurt." I sighed. I don't know why I was doing this. I don't know why I was going to put myself on the line. "I like you too."

What if he didn't want me after all?

He walked over to me again. He pressed his lips into my mine.

In that one kiss I felt it all.

He really did care.

He just wanted to be with me.

He didn't want to hurt me.

Matt pulled away with a grin. "I won't."

It's too bad that I believed every word he said.
