"Okay," Matty said as he crawled across the bed, curling up with a blanket. "Spill."

It had been a few days since the breakdown incident, and I decided a nice visit with one of my favorite people was over due.

George was out for the night, hanging out with their friend Ross.

Alex had really cleaned up over those few days, and his mood was much better.

I decided not to ask him any further about Alexa and what happened between them. It just wasn't my business.

"Hello!" Matty threw a piece of popcorn at me, bringing me out of my trance as he took another handful and ate it.

Through his stuffed mouth he mumbled, "Spill!"

I laughed.

It was over the next half an hour that I explained everything that had happened.

Matty listened intently to every detail.

"Shit," he muttered when I had finished my story.

I nodded,grabbing some of the popcorn and pushing it into my mouth.

"I know." I said.

"Its crazy, yeah?" I asked.

He nodded.

He grabbed his mug of juice from the night table and sipped at it, making a hissing noise that alerted me to the fact that he'd probably spiked his own drink.

I raised my eyebrow.

"Do you ever not drink?" I joked.

"Shu' up!" He said, bringing the mug close to his face. "Its cranberry juice..." He went to sip but paused. "... And vodka." He whispered as if I weren't to hear.

"Called it." I smiled, meaning back against the wall.

He made a funny 'whatever' face at me as he placed the cup down.

"So come on then, what about you and George? How are you lot doing?" I asked.

He smiled.

"We're doing fine. We uh..." He smiled to himself, tilting his head downward. "We had like... Actual sex for the first time the other night." He said.

Matty wasn't always one to share intimate details but he certainly wasn't as shy about it as you'd think.

"Really, then? I bet that was fun." I laughed, picking up the lovely cup of tea that Matty had made me.

He must have drugged it or something, because he honestly made the best cup of tea every time he made one.

"Remind me to call your mother." I said, sipping at my tea.

His eyes widened.

"Are you going to tell my mother that I had sex with George?!" He exclaimed.

I paused,almost spitting out my tea as laughter bubbled from me.

"N-No!" I tried to speak between laughs.

"I meant to thank her for raising you to make such amazing cups of tea!" I continued to laugh, placing my mug on the night table.

"Oh my god." Matty breathed.

He clutched a hand over his chest, breathing out with wide eyes.

"I mean, not that my mother would mind, she has sort of shipped George and I since we were kids, but Jesus!" He said.

This only caused me to laugh more.

"I love you." I laughed, wiping a happy tear from my eye.

He shook his head full of curls.

"I love you, too, you fucking goof."

"Anyways-" Matty continued, giving me a friendly glare as he hit me with a pillow.

I laughed.

"It was amazing. Like, I've never felt closer to him. Like," he squinted and licked his lips.

"Like, he's out right now with Ross, and I miss him. Like, I feel a bit empty,no pun intended, but without him, yknow? Like, I dunno. His soul like, intertwined with mine when we were done, like, it was really unlike any sex I'd had before in my life." He said.

I nodded.

"I could only imagine." I replied.

"You and Al haven't done anything yet, have you?"he asked.

" N-No. We haven't." I clarified.

"Not even like... You know..." He shook his hips in a circular motion slightly. "Fooled about?" He asked.

"No!" I said,hitting him with a pillow.

"Well?" He asked.

"Well what?"

"Are you gonna?"

"Matty!"

"I'm just asking!"

~~~

I glanced down at my phone.

It was in my hand and I set my wrist on the side of Matty's head, which was resting in my lap as he watched a movie.

He grunted and I pet his hair for a moment to shush him.

I'm outside.

The text read.

It was from Alex.

He was due to pick me up and he was a bit early.

"Matty," I shook his hair.

"Yes?" He asked.

"Alex is here."

He nodded, sitting up and stretching.

"I'll walk you out, then." He said.

I nodded.

We made our way down stairs and as if Clockwork, George walked in the front door and hung up his coat.

"Georgie!" Matty exclaimed and ran to his boyfriend,hugging him tightly.

"Hello, love." His deep voice rung out as he kissed Matty on the head, hands on his sides sweetly.

"Hello, Sarah." He smiled at me.

"Hey Georgie boy. This one missed you." I joked.

He laughed. "I can tell."

I chuckled and made my way past the Two.

"I'll see you, two. Love you both." I said.

"Call us!" Matty shouted out as I stepped out the door and closed it.

When I turned around, my jaw almost dropped to the floor.

Alex was stood on the sidewalk, a single rose I'm his hand, a fit black suit on, with his hair slicked and trunked neatly.

He was clean shaven and he just looked so... Good.

He gave me his signature serious face, before letting a smile crack on his lips.

I began walking towards him and he stepped forward.

When I reached him he held his hand out for me.

I placed my hand gently in his.

He took it, bringing my close as he kissed my hand.

"Vous regardez belle, mon amour." ( You look beautiful, my love. ) He spoke gently in French.

I felt a light blush rise to my cheeks.

"Thank you..."

He smirked at me, placing the rose in my hand and kissing my cheek .

I don't believe that I really looked lovely, but I'd take a compliment in French by him any day.

He Berks out his arm and I looped mine inside it as we began our walk.

"What's this all about?" I asked after a minute.

He smiled but didn't look at me.

There was a shine in his eyes that only intrigued me further.

"You'll see." He whispered softly.

I bit my lip, and looked back to the nature around us, enjoying the pleasantly warm mid-afternoon.

When we had reached his house, he covered my eyes and led me to a spare room.

He uncovered my eyes and laying on the bed I saw a beautiful velvety green dress that flowed to the ground and looked just my size.

"Alex," I gasped. "Y-You didn't have to-"

"Shh..." He hushed me.

"Get changed then come into the dining room." He instructed from behind me, his hands on either of my arms.

He planted a soft kiss on my neck that sent a shiver down my spine before he left the room, closing the door gently behind him.

~~~

I stepped gently into the living room, the heels on my feet clacking gently against the floor.

I smelt a delicious scent wafting through the air.

I followed it into the dining room, where Alex was standing by the table, where a deep red cover draped over the table.

There were red candles lit on the table, and two big plates of perfect and needless to say extremely appetising pastas sat with delicate silverware.

It was the whole shebang.

I covered my mouth as I looked it all over.

He walked over to me, placing a gentle, light hand on my waist as he guided me to the table.

He pulled back the chair, bowing gently as I sat down, and he pushed me in.

He went to his record player and put on some old romantic Scott Walker songs.

"Alex," I felt water prick my eyes gently.

"This is beautiful."

He smiled, leaning slightly forward as he whispered. "Only half as beautiful as you."

I held a hand over my heart, truly touched by all of this.

I couldn't believe this was happening.

As we began to eat, I had to pinch myself to make sure I hadn't somehow fallen asleep at Matty's , and was dreaming all of this.

~~~

When we were done eating, Alex cleared everything and took my hand, leading my smoothly to the living room, where a series of rose petals of pink and red began a trail.

I glanced at Alex and he motioned for me to follow them.

I began to and he followed quietly behind, his hands in his pockets.

I followed the petals upstairs and to Alex's bedroom door, which was closed.

I glanced back at him and he nodded.

I pushed open the door as I held my breath and what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend. (nO  THErE aInT no rEsT fOR thE  wICKeD sorry not sorry, sorry I broke the immersion)

Dim lit room, candles and rose petals upon the bed.

Along with those, was laid out my green pajama bottoms and a faded Elton John shirt.

I turned around to the smiling Alex and launched into his arms.

"Thank you so much... Tonight was beautiful, I've never, ever had anyone do something like this for me." I whispered.

He chuckled deeply.

"Its no problem, my love... But there's one more thing." He notes.

He parts from me and walks to a chair that I hadn't noticed, grabbing the guitar next to it that I had also failed to notice as he motioned to the bed infront of him.

I made my way over and sat down.

He got the guitar in position and cleared his throat.

"I wanted to express how I felt to you... And I wanted to say I'm sorry for doubting us so much... I hate words..  Here we go..." I laughed as I felt water prick my eyes.

With that, he began strumming.

"Baby I'm yours...

And I'll be yours until the stars fall from the sky...

Yours until the rivers all run dry...

In other words, until I die,"

He looked up at me as I felt tears sting my eyes.

"Baby I'm yours...

And I'll be yours until the sun no longer shines...

Yours, until the poets run out of rhymes... In other words, until the end of time..."

He closed his eyes as I felt my first tear slip down my cheek and drip onto the dress.

"I'm gonna stay right here, by your side, do my best to keep you satisfied...

Nothin' in the world could drive me away...

Every day, you'll hear me say...

Baby I'm yours,"

His voice cracked slightly and I covered my mouth.

"And I'll be yours until two and two is three...

Yours until the mountain crumbles to the sea...

In other words until eternity... "

His voice grew deep.

"Baby I'm yours..."

As he finished singing the ending lyrics to the song, I wiped my eyes and stood up.

He set the guitar down and stood as well.

I stared up at him before letting out a happy, choked laugh and hugging him tightly.

"I love you..." I cried into his body.

His grip tightened on me.

"I love you, too."

He backed me up and looked into my eyes before placing his lips against mine tenderly yet passionately.

When we parted, we embraced again.

~~~

We were now sitting in the bed, in pajamas.

Alex's hair was free from gel and he pulled me into his lap when I yawned.

After a few moments of silence, I began tracing shapes into Alex's chest.

"Alex?" I called out softly.

He ran his hand up and down my back.

"Yes, love?" He asked as he breathed.

"Can you sing again?" I asked.

He let out a light chuckle, beginning to rock me back and forth gently as he began singing Baby I'm Yours once more.

I was out like a light.

This had truly been, one of the most amazing nights of my life.
