I pull out my phone and connect the Aux.
"I swear to god if you play something that gets Nick going-"
"Bitch, I'm playing Jack Harlow."
"DO IT!"
"Bro Jack Harlow is not that hot."
"Yes he is!" Both Nick and I say at the same time.
I look at Nick and he chuckles as I play State Fair.
"MY PET PEEVE IS A CAMERA IN MY FACE!"
"HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF PERSONAL SPACE?"
Matt just laughed at us, and he looked over at my phone and realized he was right. He saw the title on one of the playlists.
Songs For Matt
It was that moment he knew I liked him as much as he liked me.
-------------
When I got back to the triplet's house I ran upstairs and sat on Matt's bed since that's usually where I stay when I'm over there.
Matt walked in as I put my music on shuffle play.
"You're in a music mood aren't you."
"Just a little bit."
Matt smiled and watched me for a second before he walked over to me.
I looked at him then he grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to him.
"You know, I'm not stupid."
"I'm confused."
He chuckles. "I know this is your for Matt playlist."
I stare at him for a second.
"How did you-"
"Don't worry. I'll keep your secret."
"But how? When? When did you?"
"I've known for a while. I caught your hints."
"But I always thought-"
I was at a loss for words. Was this a fever dream?
Matt was moving closer to me and was moving close to him until we heard the door open and we quickly separated. It was Nick.
"When are we gonna leave? Chris is being a child again."
"We can leave now." Matt started to walk toward the door, but i was still shock.
"Char?"
"Oh- yeah I'm coming."
----------
The four of us all got in the car the same way we left the school.
Chris looked at me.
"Why are you so quiet?"
"Who me?"
Chris broke my thought process. I was thinking about what would of happened if Nick didn't walk into Matt's room.
"Yes you. Are you okay?"
"I'm great actually. Like amazing."
Matt smiled to himself in the drivers seat after we looked at each other.
Nick looked at both of us, but ignored it.
The triplets took me to my favorite place.
"You guys really brought me to Dave And Busters? I love you guys."
We all hopped out of the car and walked in. They were playing You right on the radio above your heads. When Nick and I looked at each other. Chris looked at both of us.
"No. We are in a public place."
"I can't help it I want you-" I started singing.
"Say you right I got my guy. " Nick joined in.
"You're just lucky it wasn't Nail Tech by Jack Harlow."
Matt pushed us forward in the line and stood behind me. He had always done that, but it was different this time. He was being protective.
------
We started playing a lot of the group games. They were definitely letting me win most of the games. I challenged Nick to a game on the dance machine. I definitely won that one fair and square.
"Anyone else wanna challenge the queen of dance?"
"I'm honestly kinda intimidated-" Chris said lightly.
"You better be peasants."
"OH WOW." Nick said as I laughed.
We went to the restaurant part of the place and slid into the booth.
Matt and I on one side and Nick and Chris on the other.
"We should get that giant platter of hot wings-" Chris said looking at the rest of us.
"Bet." I said high-fiving Chris.
Nick was watching me and Matt. Nick watched the way Matt would look at me. He knew it. He knew Matt was now into me.
I look down on the seat of the booth to see Matt's hand. I slowly move my hand closer to Matt's. My pinky touched Matt's and he looked at me, held my hand and smiled.
Before we left Matt pulled me aside.
"I'm sorry for what happened at the house."
"What? Why? Do you regret it?"
"No- no. I'm sorry that Nick went and interrupted."
"He doesn't have to."
"What do you mean?"
I stepped closer to Matt and he smiled.
Matt went to kiss me when Nick did it again.
"Guys-"
"WHAT OH MY FUCK-"
Matt chuckled to himself and looked at the ground.
"Jesus- Sorry- Didn't know I was interrupting something. I was just gonna say that Chris said he's gonna drive home if you guys don't hurry up."
"We're coming. Jesus."
I don't know which was against me. Nick or the universe.
