Chapter forty-four
Novah
I decided to go sit in my car for a while since I obviously don't have a bathtub to cry in.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW7RFoi5TY
All I want is for Matt to be sitting next to me but I'm still kind of scared. I don't know how he will react to my jewelry box going fucking missing.
I don't want to bother him at the gym either so I'm sitting listening to Bille Eilish, one of my favorite artists.
I listen to her mostly when I'm sad, which happens to be most of the time.

𝐻𝑒𝓁𝓁𝑜, 𝓌𝑒𝓁𝒸𝑜𝓂𝑒 𝒽𝑜𝓂𝑒............
I rest my forehead on the steering wheel and think about where that box could be.
I sigh loudly and let my music consume me.
I have to try and calm my racing heart and thoughts before I fucking explode.
I wonder when Matt is coming back.
He's usually very comforting for me.
Now, what to do?
Fuck, fuck, fuck.
I don't want to talk to anyone except Matt right now so......
Now what?
I exhale and wipe my eyes. I'm just gonna call Matt.
I pause my music and dial Matt's number.
It rings twice before he picks up.
"What's up?" he says breathlessly.
"Matt, something happened," I say.
I hear something in the background.
"What? What happened?" he says, catching his breath.
I can just picture him all sweaty and out-of-breath probably shirtless, lifting those heavy weights.......
God, I need to stop.
"Novah, what happened?" says Matt, his voice firm and steady.
"I went upstairs to go get the jewelry so I could put it on and.....my jewelry box is gone....."
"Gone? What do you mean?"
"I was looking all over the room for it and it wasn't there,"
"Well have you asked Skylar if she's seen it?"
"Yeah, she said she hasn't seen it. Speaking of Skylar, I did something,"
The moment I slapped Skylar crosses my mind briefly.
"I slapped her,"
"You what?" he chuckles.
"She was disrespecting us!!!" I yell.
"Baby, I know. I know you would never just slap a person,"
"Well, I don't tolerate that shit,"
"May have to try that in bed....." he mumbles under his breath.
"Matt!" I shout.
I hear him chuckling and a vrooming sound.
"What are you doing right now?" I ask.
"Treadmill. I was just weightlifting but then you called me,"
"Sorry for interrupting you," I say shyly. The only time he has away from me, I'm interrupting him.
"Don't be."
"But I feel bad,"
"Don't feel bad. I love you, okay? And I'll be over there soon to figure out who took your shit. Okay?"
"But, Matt, you were working out...."
"And you're not changing my mind," he adds firmly.
"Okay," I say, feeling like a child scolded.
"Love you, baby. I'll be there soon,"
"Are you sure? Seriously, you don't have to come over here,"
"I was about to be finished when you called anyway. Plus, whoever took your shit....is in for it,"
I love how protective he is of me.
"Okay. I love you too, Matt,"
"I wish I could kiss you right now....." he mutters.
That deep, husky voice filled with hunger and lust has me entranced from the beginning.
"Love you, baby," he says and I hear a beep.
I look down at my phone, smiling.
He has hung up.263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUncieN2c65
