I want you back more than you know part 11b
Bob sighed for what felt like the millonth time. Eariler this afternoon Frank came running towards him tugging his arm. Frank said he accidental ran into Bob's secrete admire ordering flowers. Somehow he talked Frank into getting Bob ready for a dinner date with this guy. That's why Bob blindfolded dressed in slacks, and a collard shirt. Instead of jeans, t shirt drinking a beer at pinic like planned.
" Okay keep your eyes close and when I say three open them." Frank instructed as he put Bob in place. Bob sighed once more, if this ended badly he was going to kick Frank's ass.
" One, two, three!" Frank counted and yanked the blindfold off. As Bob's eye adjust to the lighting or lack of it, he could hear Frank running away. Thinking Frank was a coward, as Bob took in his surroundings. From what he could tell it was some kind storage unit for all the electronic gear. This guy had some pull to get this all set up. There were candles lighting a pathway to a table with two more candle and a single rose. As Bob walked towards the table he saw rose petals on the floor. Who the hell was this cheesy? He got his answer when he looked up and saw Matt.
A very nervous looking Matt at that. The Matt that was standing in front of him had his hair geled back, black dress pants and button down shirt. Which made him look really good. But Matt always looked good whether he was performing or staying home. Bob shook the though out of his head, he didn't need to be reminded of that. He had to get away before his heart was broken all over again.
" Matt.." Bob let the name escape from his lips, not sure on to proceed. Matt reached out and touched Bob's hand. So simple touch sent electricity through Bob's entire body.
" Please sit down, have dinner with me, and let me explain." Matt spoke softly as he lead Bob to his chair. As Bob sat down, he watch Matt pour red wine into a glass. Bob couldn't help but snort he'd had never known Matt to drink wine, they were more of beer and whiskey couple.
If Matt heard the snort, he ingored it. While pouring himself a glass spoke Matt spoke. " These months apart gave me time to reflect. And I realize I did a lot things wrong, including on how I asked you out. " Do you remeber how I ask you out?" Matt asked
Bob let out a chuckle of the memory. He and Gerard had been talking after set and this guy in avaitors came marching towards them. " You came right up to me and said that everyone called you Shadow but I could call you Matt." Bob recalled.
" Hmm. And I said you were cute, that we should go on a date." Matt finished.
" Yes, the you cotniuned that you would pick me up at my bus at 8pm the next night." Bob reminded.
" I didn't want to give you time to say no to me." Matt said looking a little sheepish.
" Like anyone every tells you no." Bob remarked, he watched Matt play with lip ring. God he was sexy when he did that Bob thought. And almost immedatly he pushed to the back. There was no need to be helping Matt out to get him back.
" You said no to me." Matt was refering about the break up four months ago.
" One person." Bob responded.
Matt shook his head " Not just you. A long time ago Damon said no too."
Bob raised his eyebrows, he had always suspected that Matt and Damon were something more but Matt never said anything till now.
" Damon ripped my heart out and stomped on it like it meant nothing to him. Took me a long time to get over, to realize that he'd never loved me one bit." Matt confessed.
" You'll get over me." Bob said and tried to believe it.
Again Matt shook his head " You took more than my heart. It's like you took a piece of my soul. And the way I see it, I either get you back or my soul back." Matt gave a smile that always made Bob weak in the knees.
Right then and now Bob realize that this was the moment that he could get back with Matt, give him that second chance he wanted so badly. But Bob knew how this would end. Matt would do something or someone and break Bob's heart all over again. Bob couldn't let that happen not with Matt. So he got up and told Matt the biggest lie he could come up.
" Well I don't want you back. So you can't snap your fingers and have me back." Stepping a few steps away from the table Bob turned back to Matt to deliver a final blow. " Plus you dont' have a soul to give back, Shadow." Bob never called Matt by his nickname.
Bob kept walking so he would not lose his nerve, not turing his head to see a very broken Matt with his head down.
