Chapter 23
I silently unpacked my things in my new motel room. Tears streamed down my cheeks, as I moved about the room, not really thinking as I was doing. Why did he say that, why, why did he break my heart. I thought that this time it would be different, but I was wrong. I had felt so horrible, I suddenly didn't want to wrestle anymore, I didn't even want to be in Matt's presence. I stopped for a moment and sat on the edge of the bed in the little room. I put my head in my hands and cried more violently. Gabriel came up next to me and rested his head on my knee. Suddenly I felt all alone. What was I thinking, I thought to myself, that he would actually fall in love with me...
"Matt, what is with you, are you okay, stop fidgeting, you're driving me nuts." Jeff said lying on his bed, trying to watch TV, but Matt persisted to pace around.
"I'll be back later, I'm going for a walk." Matt announced and walked out the door of the little motel place and walked down the way to where I was staying.
He paced in front of my door, arguing with himself about whether or not to knock. From where I was sitting on the edge of my bed, I could hear him mumbling to himself outside. I stopped crying and walked to the window. I peaked through the ugly plaid curtains and watched him intently talking to himself. I watched him for a few moments and realized that I was smiling at his actions. I tiptoed to the door and slowly opened it, catching him in the act of self argument. I didn't say anything to him, just leaned on the door and smiled, closing my eyes for a moment. Matt had stopped what he had been doing and just as I closed my eyes took the chance in kissing me again. I was surprised again but the tender insistent lips quieted my quick protest. This time we actually got the chance to enjoy the kiss. It became more intimate this time. It was slow and not rushed. His voluptuous lips intertwined with my own, his sweet tongue tasting the inside of my mouth.
