The Loves Of My Life

Chapter 5

After the argument between my parents and I... which was resolved after a while, also which Matthew had no idea about by the way, he and I decided to go an a camping trip with another couple but my parents knew that I was going on a camping trip with a group of friends. They already do not like Matthew... I can not have them think about him and I being together out of my yard. It was just to risky and so that was the excuse I came up with at that time.

On Saturday morning, with the sun shining bright and the birds chirping like every other day, I had started my packing for the trip. Blankets, pillows, clothes, toothbrush and toothpaste, lotions and creams, let's not forget about the tent and some goodies to eat. I was all set and ready to go go go.

I had told my parents that Matthew would drop me off so that they would not suspect as to why I am going with him firstly. He arrived at my house in his black Ford Ecosport to pick me up and ended up taking off to the dam to find our camping spot. The other couple we were meeting with would meet us at the spot we chose. It had taken a really long while just to find a spot for us to camp in. Every where seemed booked. The dam was packed with campers that day. Luckily the camp site that had our spot was chosen by the dam guards and that area was actually quiet and peaceful. There were only two different campers near our spot. Just perfect... As we settled down, the couple we were meeting up with ended up canceling on us, apparently something came up so it was just Matthew and I that was going to camp that night.

"OH how romantic!!! I can not wait to have our deep conversations, to learn more about him, to observe him. No one to trouble us or to interupt our conversations. This is like a couple goals thing... Yayyyyy.. this is going to be so fun", I had thought to myself with extreme joy.

I was busy setting up the 5 sleeper tent , placed a mattress inside so that the ground can be less hard when we had decided to sleep, blankets for when we actually feel cold and pillows for our heads... It was nice and cozy for when either of us had to feel tired. Matthew was busy setting up his fishing rods, his fishing rod stands, sorting out his bait and offloading the car.

As dusk arrived, Matthew and I had decided to burn a fire before it got any more late. We had to burn it before nightfall because that was going to be our source of light. From everything that I had packed... I had forgotten lights for the night. Once we were done Matthew went digging into the cooler box that he had brought, I had no idea what was in there, I did not check earlier. He ended up pulling out a beer and had started to drink it.

"I did not expect us to be drinking on this trip... if I had known I would have asked my parents for permission", I said whilst looking at the bottle.

"OH don't worry. This is just for us to chill and sip on. Come on have a few. They are nice and chilled just perfect for today ", he had said whilst sipping on the beer, looking at the sky.

"Okays I will just have one", I replied back with a smile on my face. I did not want to seem like a stuck up someone. I knew I should not have drank and should not have let him drink to.

Later that night, Matthew had went down near the water whilst I sat on my camping chair near our camping site. He had went to cast his Rods and fish a little and so I kept myself occupied with my phone. I was chatting to one of my male friends that was online at that time. His name is Aiden. He was one of my classmates and we always had the best conversations and damn they were hilarious. Chatting away and laughing whilst staring at my phone, that is what I was occupied with, until I saw Matthew hovering in front of me.

A huge smile was on my face when I had picked up my head to stare at Matthew, he seemed to have had a straight face for some reason. It was almost horrific.... terrifying enough to chase away my innocent smile. The next thing I knew was that he yanked my phone out from my hands and into his. I was stunned and so confused at the same time. I was confused as to why he had done that or why was there amd why the sudden change to his mood. He could have asked me for my phone nicely. It was not like I was hiding anything from him or that there was something on my phone that I would not have wanted him to see.

The way he was staring at my phone, it almost seemed as if he was going through it ... thoroughly. Not sure what tho because it was not like there was anything juicy in there for him to have started fighting with me or for him to look at me the way he did.

Once he was done going through my phone, he had thrown it in our tent and had then commanded me to stop talking to the other males even the ones that he and I are close to. He had made it clear that I was not allowed to talk to any other guy. When I had asked him why ... he turned his straight face into a smile and said...

"I just want you to myself. I cannot stand the thought of sharing you with someone else."

"Well you have me all to yourself and there is nothing to worry about okays", I stood up and hugged him to reassure him.

He ended up taking my arms off him and said " I don't care, I just don't want you talking to any other guy. You can talk to me that's all you need."

"Okays then. It's not like that's going to be a problem", I answered back with even more confusion in my eyes.

I kind of found his thinking cute. It kind of made me feel good in a way. I mean my guy wanted me to himself and wanted no body else near me... I liked the thought of that...not going to lie. The temper that had taken over him earlier had terrified me however. Even after everything... I still had a little fear showing in my eyes and once he saw that I was still shaken up by his actions, he had apologized and had promised that it would never happen again.

I was glad that he had said that, those words had actually brought my smile back. As the night carried on, Matthew continued by going through my phone some more and had blocked all of the males on my phone whilst I decided to go and sleep. I did not mind the part about him blocking my male friends on my phone mostly because he did not have any other female contacts on his phone. The only females that he had chatted to were related to him. I had guessed at that time that it was only fair. I went and slept peacefully that night thinking that ... that was the last I had seen of Matthew's bad side ... until there was another incident...
