Who is this guy and where did he put Matty ?

"Was that okay for you" that's the most cliche thing I could have said but I have no experience of this kind of situation. What am I supposed to say or do? We're still naked, I'm still in his lap straddling him.

"That was" he waits and my cheeks practically burn with embarrassment. That was possibly the best I have ever felt in my life.

"Beyond okay. Taylor. That was was incredible" he chuckles, his face searching mine for a reaction.

I smile, good. Maybe I won't match up to the other girls but at least it was memorable for him too.

"Okay so this is new territory for me too, it's the first time I've ever felt ugh God I can never find the right words" he says scraping his hair back. I'm learning this gesture means he is frustrated.

He lays back, I move off of him laying to face him. He moves his arm up indicating that I can lean on his chest. I welcome the affection and lay on him. He wraps his hand around me and strokes my arm.

"What I'm trying to say is this is new for me. I don't usually do this stuff. Dates and feelings and stuff." He says rolling a cigarette with his other hand. I pass him the lighter from the side.

I'm just going to let him talk, I want to know what he means and if I interrupt I will either change the story and make him admit things to me that he does not intend or I will assume everything.

He passes me the cigarette, it's appealing to me at the moment so I have some.

"I mean it I am punching so high with a girl like you, I just hope you can see that. I've not had sex like that before ever okay" he says looking away from me. I could never imagine him shy but here we are.

I pass him back the cigarette, my time to talk.

"You are not punching high. Let's just leave it as were evenly matched. Even though I think you're so hot it drives me insane." I laugh

"You are so much more experienced than me with sex okay so I don't know how I compare"

He stops me short.

"So don't compare yourself with anybody, because you have already exceeded them all" he laughs

He passes me the cigarette.

"I ugh have never felt anything for anyone relationship wise. I've always just kinda gone through the motions. You however sorry to be cliche but it's completely different" he laughs

"And that was the best sex I've ever had in my life, babe" he summarises.

I wait a minute, let that one sink in.

He gives me his best cheeky grin and I can't help but smile back. We finish the cigarette together, I have some water and then he lays facing me in his bed. He kisses me on my lips and somehow I can't disengage from him. He pulls me in close to him.

I'm getting tired now, it's 4 am, we're gonna be waking up late.

"I care so much for you Taylor" he whispers to me. I'm half asleep, barely keeping my eyes open.

"That was the best I've ever had" I whisper back "for the record, I think that was my first"

He laughs. I'm so tired. He pulls his hands through my hair and I fall asleep in his arms.

***

I wake in the morning entangled with Matty. We are still facing each other his arms around me holding onto me. I smile remembering last night. I'm working my hands down his back, massaging him and he sighs.

"Good morning babe" he says eyes still closed.

A smile playing on his lips.

My phone buzzes to say I have a message. I'm going to start turning that off. I kiss his lips and say "be right back".

I turn and grab the phone as I move my head hurts.

As if reading my mind he says "paracetamol on the side take some"

I laugh "thanks" i say and take the pills.

I turn back around to him it's just Rhea messaging to check in with me and asking about plans for later. I dump the phone on the floor. Not ready for the world yet.

"Now that is nice, waking up with you in my bed completely naked" he says.

I blush and pull the cover up.

He sighs "you are beautiful don't be so silly" he says.

"Good morning, Matthew" I say pulling him closer to me. I could get used to this. I don't want to leave his bed ever. I didn't notice last night but his room is tidy for a guy, everything is neutral. The walls are a light grey, and his bed must be a king size. His sheets smell like fabric softener. I see my dress and underwear on the floor and cringe. I'm the messy one. My bag thrown in the chair, my purse and keys falling out. I must have been wasted last night.

That explains the headache.

"How are you feeling" he asks.

His hands work their way around my body, down my side over my hips.

"My head is in pain. But I can ignore that right now because you are here" I wink at him.

He kisses me again, I swear this is the most I have ever been kissed in my life.

"What's your plan for today by the way?" He asks.

"I don't so much as have a plan yet. What's yours?" Im happy to get out of his way. He spent all day and night with me yesterday.

"I was gonna ask you actually whether you wanted to later on maybe" he says dithering.

"See my mum" he finishes

"I hope that isn't too much, and don't feel pressured at all, it's just I mentioned you on the phone last night and there's this dinner thing we're going to and I wanted to ask you to join me" he says.

I smile at him, who is this guy and where did he put Matty?

"I'd really like that" I say

"You sure ? Don't feel obligated." He laughs

"What time is it?" I ask

"It's at like 7pm I think I can't remember I was a little stoned when she told me. I'll text her. Im meeting them there so I can drive us" he says making plans as always.

"I'm excited, what's the place we're going to called"I ask him as he's brushing my arm and his hand has wandered to my breasts.

"It's little bay. Do you know it? It's not crazy fancy but the food is great" he says.

"What should I wear?" I ask him suddenly nervous about what to put on.

"Anything you like, you looked great yesterday" he says being a guy.

"Can't wear it again." I say

"What never again?" He laughs

"No of course not just not two days in a row" I say swatting him playfully.

"Hey you can definitely borrow one of Kim's dresses. Or anything of hers. She's cool like that"

"Are your totally sure she will not mind, is she coming too?" I ask clearly excited to meet his sister.

"Nah she's not, she's got a 2 week placement abroad you'll see her when she's back" he says. I can't wait to meet her.

"But for now" he says peeping under the cover taking in my body "I'm gonna get you bed in breakfast so that you never have to leave my bed."

He gets up pulls on his black levis and heads to the kitchen.
