        Matt's eyes studied me as he slowly placed the puppy back on the grass. He raised an eyebrow when I grabbed his arm and carried him in a quiet corner.

        I bumped my back against a tall tree and faced him, gazing up into his eyes. He frowned, confused, and started rubbing his neck nervously.

        He breathed out and eventually asked《What's this about?》

    《It's pretty important. I, um, you know.. I, I live here─》

    《I know where this is going but─》

    《Matt, please, let me finish》I teared up. He nodded with the saddest frown.

    《I live here, and you live ─ where? ─ Los Angeles? Toronto? I don't even know. Matt, I like you so much. Like so so much. Even more than that. The point is.. you will be back at your usual busy celebrity life and I will stay here all alone, and we would probably even have any more time to even text》

    《Olive, look at me》Matt sweetly raised my chin up with his thumb and index. --《We will find a way. I promise you, I won't let anything get between us》

    《You can't promise that. You can't know for sure if our relationship will make it alive》

    《I know. But what I know for sure is that I won't let you go that easily. Okay?》he sweetly assured, I nodded and burnt my face against his neck. He held me tight and blew a kiss on my head.

        The clock showed it was 4pm when we finally drove back to my small house. I stopped by the door and faced Matt, who was standing right behind me. He threw me a confused look and sighed.

    《You want me to go to the others so you can be alone with your thoughts overthinking everything? Because, if that's your plan, it's a no from me》

    《I actually wanted you to stay》I lied, after being exposed.

    《Of course that's what you wanted. Liar.》he accused with a dorky chuckle, I smiled and unlocked the front door.

        My house was a complete mess, as I had left it. I felt the instant urge to apologize to Matt, causing him to just smirk. I walked towards the living room and immediately froze, feeling immediately cold.

    《What's wrong?》Matt quickly asked alarmed.

    《I.. Shit!》

    《Olly, what's wrong》

    《I'm uh freezing. Um, I, can you do me a favor?》

    《Oh》he stared,《Yeah, sure. Do you want me to get you a blanket?》

    《What? Who are you? Who gave you the right to be boyfriend goals. Even though you're not my boyfriend and ─ okay. Can you please go to my room and grab Spanky?》

    《Spanky?》he raised an eyebrow.

    《He's, uh.. He's a stuffed animal heating bag》I blushed, he grinned widely with an amused dumb face.

    《What animal is he?》he laughed.

    《Don't you blame me, Daddario. Giraffe. He's a cute little Giraffe》

        I prepared some snacks and some movies. Obviously, the only DVDs I had were all of my favorite movies, but I did have Netflix. I grabbed a blanket and waited for Matt on the couch. He appeared with Spanky when I held the remote and turned the tv on.

    《He took a while to heat up, is it normal?》he asked with the cutest look.

    《Yeah, he's a little old. Right, Spanky??》

    《He says "yes, mommy"》

    《Oh, so you can hear him, huh?》I teased, a wide grin on my face.

    《I do》Matt smiled widely. He sat next to me with Spanky in his hands and made him move like a puppet.《He's saying he missed you. And he also asked "what is this gorgeous guy doing here with you?" Don't know what that means》

    《You're such a dork》I brusted into a loud laughter.

    《But you love a dork》he grinned again.

        I grabbed his shirt and pulled him to me, pushing my lips on his instantly. I wrapped my arms around his neck and ran my fingers through his hair, he held me tight. My brain stopped giving me any type of signal, except for the one that said I had to kiss Matt. It was do or die.

        We pulled away when we almost ran out of breath, and smiled against each other's lips.《I do》I whispered.

    《What?》he grinned, his sight locked on my lips.

    《I love you
