The Hopeless And The Cynical

Chapter 17

Chapter 17

May 31, 2017

I look into the mirror "I can't believe I actually agreed to this and dressed up"

I am wearing my witch costume which was just a long black dress with a hood

"I am sure Matt is going to keep staring at you" Jenna says while wearing her heels, she was wearing a cat costume since we decided to dress as a witch and her cat

I look over to her and say "I hope so, I do have a crush on him now anyway" Jenna looks up, her mouth open and eyes wide.

I turn back to the mirror and put on my hood

"Wait! You have a crush on Matt?" Jenna asks and walks to me. She has a shocked look on her face

"Well of course, he is a good looking guy and he is also sweet and charming but that doesn't mean I love him"

Last night in bed, I had started to think a lot about Matt and I knew that I was starting to have feeling for him, of course I didn't want to but I couldn't stop so I accepted it

"Cat you are so straightforward with stuff like this. Wait you can't tell Matt today?!" she says, while shaking my shoulders.

I hold her wrists and say "I should, instead of dragging this"

Jenna looks at me horrified and says "I'm going to lock you in your room" and drags me out of my apartment

"So you won't let me out of my office, huh?" I ask Jenna, while sitting in my chair and cross my arms across my chest.

Jenna closes my office door and stands in front of my desk and says "you are going to tell Matt in the dumbest way possible and I am not going to allow that. You need to be sweeter and cuter about it" I sigh

Jenna leaves and I stay in my office and look out my window and see everyone talking and sharing drinks 'well I didn't want to socialize anyway' I go back to my desk and start working

Time passes and I keep working, Jenna brought me food and drinks and even let me out for some time when Matthew went out to take a call

Finally when it becomes 11:00 I think about going home so I pack some off my stuff and get up and go to my file drawer, I hear my door open.

It's Jenna, so I say "Jenna I'm going home, so you can stop worrying about me confessing to Matt" I look in to my file seeing that it had a few typos so I turn and say "so you can calm down and also it's just a crush so I'll get over it. Hey why haven't you fixed these typos? I'll do them now before leaving so just go have fun"

I look up

I see Matt standing

He is wearing a suit with a black bowtie; he must be dressed as James Bond, but that's so not important right now

"You have a crush on me?" Matt asks in a quiet tone.

He walks towards me and looks down at me, I stare at him 'yes this is my chance' I say "yes, I like you, but I do not love you and I have no interest in dating you but I thought telling you might stop it."

He stares at me and smiles and gives me a tender look and says "I like you too, I was just too shy to tell you"

I shake my head and say "No, I can't be with you"

He looks at me for a few seconds "I'll wait then"

"What?! Don't wait"

I say and he just keeps smiling at me and then says "I'll wait as long as it takes for you to trust me" I sigh and say "then I'll make you fall out of love for me!" and he shakes his head and says "that impossible" I feel my cheeks heat up 'why does he have this effect on me? Well I do like him so it's that'

"I'll wait until you trust me, and then I'll confess to you again" Matt says and smiles "but I, you, I-I" I forget how to speak "don't worry.

And hey you can place that file on my desk, I'll check it over" he says and then walks towards the door and he places his hand on the knob and turns back and says

"You look beautiful by the way" and walks out

'Oh no' I sit on my desk, my head in my hands thinking I'm screwed now, but there is something I can do

I'll make him fall out of love for me and then he can move on and I can move on from this silly crush

I go out and place the file on his desk and turn back to see everyone just drinking, eating and chatting and I see Matt and Jenna speaking and they both turn and Matt waves while blushing and Jenna gives me a thumbs up

I wish I never came here
