***Matty's POV***

It's now eleven pm, we didn't end up at the skate park. Nobody wanted to leave Ross' house.
Brad and Stiffy arrived a few hours back, I think I'm losing track of time.

I know I've had a few more beers, I lost count. I won't be able to drive my car home. Which is frustrating I would rather have the ability to drive to Taylor’s should jealous ex boyfriend turn up. I was supposed to bring the car here in order to make me not drink too much and to use it as a reason to leave by like eight. Like a decent normal guy would do, who doesn't have to get drunk.

Day one of trying to be good enough for this girl is going to have to begin tomorrow. I think about her, like I can stop myself. I imagine what she might be doing; maybe she's watching one tree hill in bed, or singing and playing guitar. I briefly imagine her singing me to sleep.

Her voice is great I didn't expect that, I've never been musical myself. She was stunning singing that song. I usually listen to loud music, anything from classic rock to drum and bass. But I appreciated all of her music. It strikes me that I've never appreciated a girl in that way before. Maybe I've never really given them a chance.

'Pour some sugar on me' comes on the speakers Brads choice of course. I would do almost anything to hear her singing her songs right now. Jen and Rach are dancing around Brad and Stiffy, it looks as though something may be going on with them. They look like idiots. They can't dance whatsoever. I laugh though they're having a good time.

I find myself checking my phone. She hasn't replied to me at all. That's different. Usually girls text me back. If I don’t reply to them it’s always problem. I tell myself to calm down, reminding myself how it felt to hold her for an hour in her kitchen. How it felt for her to trust me enough to tell me about her past with her ex.

I'm not smoking any illicit substances tonight, just having a few beers. I think about making my excuses and leaving, so I start to tune into the conversation.
"Yeah It's pretty obvious that Rhea is with Malachi, that just leaves Taylor" Ryan is saying. What's this guy on about, not another mug wanting a piece of her surely?
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffY4WnBFac
"She's a great girl" Ross admits looking at his phone. I'm guessing she hasn't messaged him back either. I just hope she's not talking to Ted or Tom, can't remember his stupid name.

"Oh stop it both of you" Pippa says sourly.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpZoNmbvZc
"You both wanna just get laid" she continues.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRXBycZcu9
"Like you don't" Ross laughs at her.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd6zVKmFVW
"Ew" Ryan says pulling a face.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUby1R2Qn3e
"Sorry dude" Ross laughs sipping his beer.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJtjSE5Eso
"What do you think, Matty" Ryan says including me in their conversation.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GEVR3jHlN
"Think about what?" I say disinterested.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFlkSsRxmY
"Taylor of course" he says matter of factly.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL353H5Fdeh
"I think we should decide right now who's getting a chance with her" Ryan says, he is drunk. He’s usually so respectful of women.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVQt8moWnN
"What's so special about her anyways" Pippa says feeling insecure. I have never disliked Pippa, I've never had a problem with her. Yes she's bitter but it's clear she feels insecure about herself. She's young, she is overweight and she is always in Rachel's shadow.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNcn13TtgL
"What isn't special about her" Ross says pushing his hair back.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbEOtUrBRO
"She's hot, Pippa" Ryan says laughing.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwY0AedhQk
“She’s more than that. She knows books and she can sing. She’s beautiful and caring” Ross says surprising everybody and I laugh. I must not show my feelings here.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUKN2BQecS
"I say Ross you give her a go first" Pippa laughs.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi18DhTl1VP
"I wouldn't want my brother going all love sick when she breaks his heart" Pippa smiles.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5yvLr0BZx
"Plus I don't wanna hear them banging through the wall" she adds.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwqqUHo4XN
“Stop it she’s a human being” Ross says.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMT1EuavvQ
“A pretty fine one at that” Ryan laughs.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwCEtDTzaY
I have to say something, I don't want to big on her like she's a piece of meat up for auction. But it's better than Ross turning up his charm for her. I'm already in way too far with him, not sure how I'm going to get her to stay away from him. With his literature quotes and books.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN7ProOXlY
"What do you say Matty" Ryan says turning to me a wry smile on his face.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4JDqGlemK
"Yeah she's fine" I underplay it. They shouldn't see me as an opponent.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC8RlD69aZ
"She said she might be heading to the skate park with Rhea again" Ross says, reading from his phone.
What? She said what too him? How does he know where she is going? And I don't?
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcZnO64FFV
I've been thinking about her continuously. Yet she finds the time to message him back. I took her home and dealt with crazy Tod/Tom freak with her. I’m jealous and Jen looks on feeding from my despair.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe6jfigam0
"Im not taking bets on the girl, she's a nice girl and totally hot" Ross says. Pippa rolls her eyes and swigs at her beer.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ509FPhLOY2
"Well let's just see who she falls for" I say. I don't necessarily mean it like that but they all take it as I'm just competing with Ross. And now I've already said it. I can't ever take it back. This is why I should not drink.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uEvefB2AB
"Ohhh it's on then" Pippa smirks rubbing her hand together.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8HJsAmUOP
Ross scowls at me.
Ryan laughs.
Hearing the commotion Rach comes over.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXevdaDwcbb
"What's on?" She asks wanting to be nosey. She plants herself on my knee. I am realising that Rach is drunk more than she is ever sober.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7IQDWFytu
"Ross and Matty are competing for Tay" Pippa says eagerly.
We are not, I have already won, I think to myself idly.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsvMb5ElKx
"Tay? I'm guessing this is the new girl" Jen interrupts finally seizing her moment.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZuesRTsRZ
"Taylor, yes see which one of you gets her" Pippa laughs.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARmdIaHy52
"Great see who can take her virginity I'm sure she'll feel much better after that" Jen adds.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQDI6iWm6w
"She's really good looking" Brad says sounding interested. Jen swipes at him and pulls him in for a hug so he's holding her hips.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlx5SMhfQo
"We are not competing, she is not some game that one of us is going to win, right Matty?" Ross says defiantly.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneeXuACAmB
"Right" I say. Rachel laughs sitting in my lap. I want her off now.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsStJskOkQJ
"I'm just saying though she will choose me" I laugh and he shoves me toppling Rachel too. He apologises to her because he is a saint. I need to shut up and leave. Im digging here. Further and further down into disappointing her, just like Ted/Tom.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASMBy3sAMF
"Oh I don't know so much she seemed pretty sweet on Ross all night yesterday" Rachel says hand hooked around my shoulder steadying her.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVnpIyJmSY
"I'm not competing here, I just wanna make that one clear. Whoever she decides she wants I hope she is happy" Ross says. Pippa makes a gagging sound. The others laugh.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n3o4bWXPW
He's so fucking smug, he thinks because she texted him back that he's already in there. I wanna wipe the smile off of his face. What is up with that, she texted him? I mean I drive her home deal with her ex for her. Doesn't that deserve a text back?
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMr0laYpyw
"Yeah, you know I always win Ross" I say.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlnWgPmnlm
"I'm not playing games, don't be an asshole your whole life, dickhead" he jibes back.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIBlOi78sF
"Okay, okay! I'm putting £20 on Matty. I'm convinced, he's great in bed she will literally be blown away" Jen chimes in.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRfkbvsXVc
“Hey what about me, don't think I've got a shot?" Ryan laughs.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGcmcV85Lz
“Sit down hun" Pippa laughs at her brother.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYS8K7HI8i
"My moneys on Matty too, sorry Ross. He's a good fucking liar" Rachel says still sitting on my lap.
I wink at Ross.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1WtkZXCki
"Odds are in my favour" I say. I decide she won't ever find out, I'll get the girl. I'll be able to talk my way out of this mess.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSOk9FJLwm
"Three votes for Matty, I'll put ten on it" Pippa says.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XFFVxmj8B
Like I said day one of being good starts tomorrow.
