Through better and worse || Matt & Malia
Matt tapped his steering wheel. He stared at the red light above the road that refused to turn green. He didn't know why he was this impatient actually. It wasn't like Malia knew he was coming and it wasn't like there would be any harm done if he'd arrive a few minutes later. But somehow, somehow he had a bad feeling in his stomach about all of this.
Yeah, he had promised Malia to give her room and space, to take things slowly. He was already glad that she wasn't running away screaming and she kinda wanted to try this whole relationship thing, even though she wanted to make sure they wouldn't go too fast. But the last couple of weeks he had called several times and left a few messages and she hadn't answered. He wasn't sure if that was normal for Malia, but he was her boyfriend now, right? It was kinda weird to not hear anything from your girlfriend for weeks!
When the light turned green he sped up and took the turn into the woods. He drove as far as he could and parked the car. A shiver rolled down his spine when he stepped out and he buried his hands in the pockets of his jacket. The woods never felt fully safe anymore, even though the city wasn't really safe either.
He swallowed when he eventually stopped in front of her house. He didn't wanna be pushy. And he didn't wanna lose her. He was just worried. There was nothing wrong with being worried, right? He took another deep breath and then he knocked on the door. "Malia? Are you home?"
