After we ate, we did the dishes. Matt was full of surprises. He was fun and comfortable to be with. Unlike all the other guys I dated. He wasn't uptight, not too forward and not too formal.

He was just...Right.

"Anna"

"Sorry. I was somewhere else"

"Not hard to tell"

I smiled

"Wanna talk about it?"

"It's not important"

"Where in the world am I not important?" He asked with a with a raised brow

"I, I wasn't thinking about you"

"Sure you weren't"

"I wasn't"

He shifted closer to me on the couch. I rested on the armrest to keep some distance between us.

"Haven't I told you not to lie to me?"

I swallowed.
"Fine, I was thinking about you. Its no big deal"

"I'm no big deal?"

"No. Not you. I mean thinking about you is no big deal"

He smiled at my obvious discomfort.

"I'm gonna go to bed"

"Now?" He rested back on the couch

"Yea. I have work tomorrow"

"Right. The gym" he sighed

"You still haven't told me how you knew I work at the gym"

"I see you everyday I'm there. You caught my attention" he turned to face me "Even without meaning to"

I was breathing faster than usual with my lips slightly parted. I licked my dry lips slowly. He followed the movement of my lips then slowly looked into my eyes. His eyes had gone dark. He leaned into me slowly still looking into my eyes.

"Matt...I...should..." His lips landed on mine before I could say any more.

It was gentle and slow at first. Then his tongue touched mine which built more passion and made it hard, rough and demanding. His hands were on either side of me on the armrest, my hands were on his shoulder pulling him to me.

What was happening to me?
Why do I feel this way?
I don't understand this strange feeling.
I needed more of him.

Shit!

What the heck am I doing?

I pushed his shoulder and recovered myself in a few seconds. He looked at me with a confused expression. I got up and made my way to the room.

"Anna?!"

I got to my room and closed the door. I rested on the door for a moment. I crawled into bed and prayed for sleep to come.

I have no idea what time I slept last night.

I thought as I jogged back to Matt's house.

I was so tired when the alarm went off but I had to drag myself out of bed cause I had to get to work but I had to jog first. I went out of the house as quietly as I could to avoid waking Matt.

I rounded the corner to Matt's house. I reduced my pace and slowed down in front of Matt's house. I walked the remaining distance to the entrance.
I entered the house and closed the door behind me. I went to the kitchen, opened the fridge and took a bottle of water. I uncapped it and started drinking.

"Where have you been?" I was shocked out of my skin

Water leaked out of my mouth and the bottle and poured on my black tank top.
"Shoot" I turned to him "Sneak-up much?"

"Where were you?" He looked like he didn't get much sleep either

"Gee, you look like crap"

He sighed "Thanks. Couldn't get much sleep"

"Looks like you didn't even get a wink"

"Thank you. So back to my question"

"I went for a jog" I drank more water

"Next time let me know"

I stopped drinking "I don't have to tell you anything"
What the heck was wrong with him?

"Anna. I was worried sick when I couldn't find you"

"Yea well, didn't ask you to be" I put the bottle back in the fridge and made my way to the room

"Anna" I heard him call after me. "I'm worried about you because I care about you" he followed me

"What do you expect in return?"

"To show that you care too"

I stopped in my tracks and slowly turned round to him
"I care about you Matt and that's the problem"

He moved closer "Why?"

"I don't wanna care too much cause you'll end up leaving me just like...my parents"

He placed his hand on my shoulder and used the other to lift my chin. My eyes was teary
"I will never leave you"

I tried to turn my face away from his but he brought it back

"I promise" he added

I looked at him for a moment then I hugged him for what felt like a long time. I felt his hand on my hair.

"I have to get ready for work" I said

"Me too" he said

I let go of him and entered the room.

Twenty minutes later, I was ready for work. I grabbed my bag and went down. I saw Matt in the kitchen. He looked at me and smiled when I reached the kitchen.

"Coffee?" He asked

"No I don't take coffee"

"Tea?"

"I'll have some at Kat's"

"You sure?"

I smiled "Yea" he smiled back "I'm gonna go"

"I'll drop you"

"No. I'll walk from here"

"Anna, no way. You're my girlfriend and you're living with me now. I'm dropping you off and that's final"

I blushed when he said girlfriend. I was still trying to get used to hearing it much less being one.
"You're not dressed for work" I noticed as we made our way to his car

"I'm going to the gym first"

"Right"

He drove off to the gym.

After I finished up at the gym, I went to Kat's. Matt said he was gonna pick me up at the gym when I was done.

Well three things were certain.

One: Kat was definitely gonna ask for details about everything that happened and didn't happen. And why some happened and others didn't.

Don't ask, I don't understand either.

Two: I was hundred percent positive that I was gonna smile like a fool all day long except my mind diverts to my mum.

Three: As usual, today was gonna be like every other day at Kat's. Stressful, tiring and sped up. Like a movie on fast forward.

"Looks like Mr. Hot's your personal drug. You're glowing and you've just stayed one night" Kat was rambling "Imagine what you'd be like two weeks from now. You'd glow so bright I'd have to shut down Kat's cause it'll so hot in here customers will desert here" she made a little laugh probably picturing what she said "What about when you do it with..."

"Kat!" I looked at her with a shocked expression "Enough"

"What?" She gave me her innocent puppy-face look "I'm just saying"

"Do you mind?" She was taking this too far

"Of course you know I don't. That's why I'm bringing it up"

"Ugh, Kat!" I made my way to the back

"What did I say this time?" I heard her say

After I locked up the gym, Matt came to pick me up.

"Hey" he said as he approached me

"Hey" I smiled at the gorgeous guy I cared about so much

He smiled back and when he reached me he kissed me; softly and gently

"I missed you at work today" he whispered in my ear

"Me too"

"Hungry?" He asked when we were in the car

"Yea" I was famished

"Wanna eat out?"

"No"

"I'll cook then"

"I'll help" I turned to him and smiled

He looked at me and smiled back.

We got to the house.
"I'll go freshen up" I hurried to the room

"Okay"

I was down in minutes wearing a white tank top, a bum short, I was bare foot and my hair was rolled in a bun on my head.

Matt wasn't here yet. So I went to the kitchen and got started on dinner. I chopped carrots, cabbage and onions as the noodles was boiling on the fire.

"What can I do to help?"

I paused and looked behind me. I saw Matt coming into the kitchen just wearing pants. His body was to die for. It was like one of those bodies male models have.

I swallowed hard.

"Like what you see?" He smiled after wearing the T-shirt.

"Hmm, I, I don't know what you're talking about" I focused my attention back at chopping the ingredients.

"How many times do you want me to tell you never to lie to me?"

I felt his breath on the back of my neck. I stiffened at his closeness. I felt the heat of his body, his cologne was driving me crazy.

I felt his hands in my arm

"Relax Anna" he whispered in my ear from behind

"I-Its really ha-hard to do that with you t-this close to me"

"Why?" He lips brushed my neck which made me shiver "Do I make you feel hot for me" he kissed my neck

I moaned at the contact of his lips on my neck.

"Shit" he spun me around to face him "You're gonna kill me Anna if you make that sound again" he put his hand behind my neck and the other on the small of my back.

My hands were on his chest trying to push him away and concentrate on cooking dinner
"Matt..."

His lips crushed mine in a passionate, hot, greedy, yet loving kiss. I moaned

He paused "Anna" he scolded then continued kissing me. My hands went round his neck. I was standing on tipped toes. His hands had gone to my ass.

Before I knew it. He lifted me and placed me on the slab, he pushed my legs apart and stepped between them.

I moaned louder, the kiss had become more passionate

"Anna if you make that sound again, I'm gonna take you right here"

"What?" I was dazed and ravished from the kiss

He was about kissing me and I would have let him if I didn't remember our dinner. My stomach made a small growl sound.

He smiled at me
"Seems like you're hungry"

I smiled back
"I'm almost done with dinner"

"I'll help" he lifted me from the slab and set me down slowly on the ground. I felt every curve of his body. I bet he felt mine too.

He helped me with dinner. We ate, talked and laughed about things.

"Anna I have to tell you something" he said when we had washed up

"What?" I looked at him with a serious expression

"You're not gonna like it one bit, and you'll probably hate me"

"What is it Matt?" I was confused

"You can shout at me or hit me Anna, but don't hate me"

"Matt, tell me!" I was getting impatient

"I, I transferred your mum to a different hospital. That's why Dr. Adams hasn't called"

I was dumb struck
