I SLIPPED on my jeans and an oversized sweater. staring myself down in the mirror. i see his hands creep from behind.  "damn, you look so good." asher admitted, holding my waist. i giggle as he has me in his embrace.

"stop it! cmon, let's go." i said before walking out of the house — asher following me. we got in the car, and jumped on the highway. matt picked a pizza restaurant that was pretty close and i was honestly so excited to eat some junk food.

"alright, we are here." asher said. he opened up the door to the place and we both walked in. i looked around, trying to find matt and mia. my eye immediately catches matt in a booth, waving at me.

"y/n! over here." he yelled, i playfully rolled my eyes. asher and i walked over to them, matt got up and hugged me. "thank god you're here." he whispered in my ear, i gave him a warming smile.

mia just scoffed, sitting next to matt. it looked like she already wasn't having a good time. across from the couple, was asher and i. i put my hand on asher's leg and he flinched.

"You alright, bro?" matt asked, with all seriousness.

"you're so stupid, matt. y/n is literally giving him a handy under the table." mia laughed. i shot her a disgusting look, while matt just kept his mouth quiet, frowning, and staring down at the menu. it hurt me to see him in what seemed like such a toxic relationship.

the waiter came and asked for our order. "can we get a medium pineapple pizza please?" matt asked, politely.
the waiter nodded, writing it down on his notepad.

"ew, i don't like pineapple pizza, that's disgusting. i want a small, vegan pizza please!" she whined in such a rude tone. the waiter nodded again before walking away. he got our drinks and awkward silence carried throughout our table.

asher suddenly excused himself from the table, walking to the bathroom. I was now third wheeling – how wonderful. however, mia shortly after went to the bathroom as well, saying she had to re-apply her lipliner.

now, it was just matt and i, across from each other. i kicked his leg under the table. "ow, what was that for?" he asked.

"You don't stick up for yourself. Mia is such a bitch, especially to you. i don't like her one bit." i confessed, crossing my arms at him.

"i know, y/n. it's a long story for another time. at least you have a good relationship. you know, he looks like he makes you happy." he said, smiling, yet not looking up to meet my eyes.

"yeah, he does. but, i want you to be happy too, matt." i muttered. he nodded, playing with his straw.

"are you okay?" I asked, worriedly.

"yeah, yeah. i'm fine. see?" he said, giving me the biggest reassuring smile. i didn't think it was possible to see all of matt's teeth. i chuckle at his quirkiness.

after a good while, the pizza came and asher and mia still haven't come back from the bathroom. "i am going to go tell them that the pizza is here." I said rather quickly.

matt got up with me, walking to the restrooms. i opened up the door to the girl's bathroom and no one was in there. matt told me that no one was in the men's room either.

i attempted to open up up the family bathroom but it was locked. matt put his ear to the door, listening to the moans filling up the room.

"asher, my god, keep going." mia whispered-yelled.
I covered my mouth in shock. Asher was cheating on me with Matt's girlfriend? on our double date? how fucking shallow of them. I run to our table, getting a to-go box and storm outside the restaurant.

Matt hurried up to open up his car, and we both drive off. I covered my face, sobs coming out of my mouth. I felt so stupid in this moment.

Matt was trying to focus on the dark road but he couldn't help but look at me with sadness in his eyes. he hated to me see getting cheated on. It seemed like he didn't even care that he also just did?

Matt finally parked his car, opening up my door. he took my hand and pulled me into his house. he took me to the couch as we both sit down.

words finally came out of his mouth, "y/n, i am so sorry. it's my fault for inviting you to do a double date. i am so fucking sorry." he admitted, rubbing my back for comfort.

"no Matt, it's not your fault. if anything, thank you for inviting me because it showed me Asher's true self. why aren't you mad, though? you know, you also got cheated on." I reminded him.

"i knew she was not a good girlfriend from the start. i uh, i was too scared to breakup with her because she was very abusive. i was afraid... but, now we are over and i have never felt so free." he said.

I decided to drink to somewhat ease the pain of the breakup. he took out some alcohol for me, pouring it my cup. Matt didn't drink so he just cheered my cup with soda. I laughed, gulping it all down.

I became very drunk after a good while. he smiled at me while we danced to the music. the clock soon enough turned 12:00am, and it was 2024.

"oh my god, i totally forgot it was New Years!" he said, giggling.

"i was supposed to go to a party tonight with Asher but this is way more fun." I slurred.

"alright, no more alcohol for you. you have had more than enough." Matt teased.

"i am soo tired, Matt. take me to your bed." I whined, with my eyes closed.

he laughed seeing me this intoxicated. he softly picked me up, bridal style, taking me to his room. "you don't mind if i change you into something more comfortable?" he muttered.

I nodded, waiting for him to take my clothes off. he took my shirt off and he tried not to look at my chest, he was so respectful of my body.

he pulled down my pants and with that, he grabbed one of his big t-shirts, pulling it over me. I smiled at the warmness and the smell of matt on the shirt.

he was about to walk out, "wait, Matt, stay here with me, please." I begged. he couldn't say no to the puppy eyes i was giving him.

he quickly changed into his pajamas, which was just his boxers. he turned off the lights before going under the covers next to me.

I cuddled into him. he tensed up, feeling a bit awkward but he loved the affection from me.

what? have you never cuddled before?" I mumbled.

"nope.." he whispered.

I responded by laughing, but deep down it hurt my heart to hear his answer. I brought him closer to my embrace, his heartbeat rapidly increased.

But, he kissed my cheek, tracing lines up and down my arm. "i love you, Matt." I whispered.

"Shhh, you're drunk." He replied, before shutting his eyes, smiling. We both knew we didn't want this night to ever end.
