Celebrity/Race a Car (Matt’s POV)
This week sucked literally sucked ass. It was barely Wednesday and I was already missing Penelope. I sound like a girl. Man, I need to get laid or something to get my mind off of her. I can’t stop thinking about her, how possessive she makes me, and the way she seems to be hiding something. I shook my head trying to make the stupid thoughts disappear when my mother walks in.
“Son, you are up early. Are you okay?” she asked me well pressing the back of her hand to my forehead to see if I was running a fever if only I could blame how I am feeling on an illness.
I grabbed her hand gently moving away from her, “No I am fine just going down to the auto shop to help Luke and Nate with some stuff,” I stuffed a pop-tart in my mouth waving a bye to my mom, “See you later at the pub”.
I ran out of my house trying hopping on my motorcycle trying not to think about how good Penelope felt pressed against me. Her soft curves pressing on my back her hands caressing my stomach as she held me in fear. My bike almost tumbled over when I turned a corner. Damn, I need to keep my mind straight before she ends up killing me.
I made my way to the shop parking my bike and heading inside. I saw Luke first talking on the phone smiling probably talking to Anna. I shook my head laughing man he has it bad. My eyes connected to the blonde head whose locked eyes with me giving me a nod.
“Hey Matt, Where have you been dude?,” Nate called out making his way to me.
Nate is a new father and him and his wife Janet are plenty busy trying to be a family but still hold their jobs but they seem to make it work.
“Naw man I been hanging out with Luke and Anna some,” I gave Luke a nod when he noticed me.
Nate gave a laugh, “Oh yea I have heard about your new girl Pen. I heard she was hot as hell all curves but a little shy. I didn’t picture you going for a good girl let alone one who is more than size two,” I was about to say something to him when he held up his hands, “Not saying anything is wrong with that just making an observation including all of those Barbie’s you usually hang with.”
I shrugged my shoulders knowing for a fact that he was right but not having an answer for him.
Luke came out of his office giving me a nod well pushing Nate out of the way, “What are you two pansies talking about?”
“Oh nothing just Matt’s new girl Pen,” Nate looked back at me as Luke raised his eyebrow.
Luke scratched his chin, “Speaking of Pen she is having lunch with the girls today,” I perked up after I registered his words I tried to appear nonchalant well I asked him where they will be but Luke and Nate but exchanged a look.
Nate laughed well he gave me the answer, “They are going to Ellen’s Stardust Diner on Broadway you know the one that has the singing waitress,” I took this all in well Nate and Luke both stared at me with smug ass smiles.
I flipped them off but Luke just laughed, “Damn dude you have it bad but don’t feel bad I felt the same way with Annabeth it just hits you,” I glared at him well he continued, “I think we should crash their lunch date what do you boys think?”
I couldn’t help but grin. Oh yea.
We made our way to the diner giving the girls a little time to themselves before we barged in. The smell of food hit me and my stomach grumbled I didn’t even realize I was hungry. I looked around until I saw her beautiful brown hair sitting next to Anna and Janet. She was laughing and my stomach automatically clenched at the sound God she sounded great laughing it was nice and husky.
We made it to the table Janet kissed Nate scooting over well Luke sat next to a scowling Anna. Penelope was looking up at me a light blush working its way on to her face making me want to give her a reason to blush so I leaned in to her, “Hey love scoot over for me.”
It worked her cheeks turned red as she let me in the booth which was not roomy enough for all
