"Well, too bad for you. I'm afraid I'm just a chatterbox." Trixie said playfully, watching him move without getting up. She tilted her head at his last words, happy to joke with him. "Maybe. Head back to mine, to yours, watch a movie. See what happens. Or we could go to the mall, that's always fun." She teased, trailing her fingers gently along the tabletop again.

"Brilliant" Matt laughed, bringing his phone out to check if Layla had messaged to tell about where he was. Of course she had, but he chose not to take notice. Any time that could be cut with her and spent with Trixie would probe better. "You'll have to do better than that i'm afraid. I'm much more into picking flowers" he said sarcastically, looking her in the eye. As soon as he caught her gaze he gave a small smile, bringing it back down to the various rings on his fingers. "Seriously though give us something to do and i'll happily forget about her" he said, surprised at his own forwardness.

"Awh, I'm sorry. We could always braid each other's hair and talk about Taylor Swift or something." Trixie mocked, brightening when he turned serious. "Really?" She smiled, biting her lip in thought. "Well, you kind of put me on the spot. I wasn't really kidding when I said we could go to mine or yours and watch a movie. There's a drive in movie happening at 7 down the road. I can't really think of anything that doesn't involve a movie, unless you just wanna chill. Or Netflix and chill." She suggested playfully, trying her hardest to convince him.

"Anything but Taylor swift, please. I'll have you know i despise her" Matt smiled, pretending to be horrified at the suggestion. He listened to Trixies suggestions intensely, nodding as she spoke. "The drive in movie sounds great. Just make sure you bring your own car, stay away from me" he joked, waiting to speak as someone passed between their two tables. He raised his eyebrows at the last comment, though didn't pick up on it. "I was joking? obviously, but the drive in thing does sound fine. I'll pick you up then, if you want me to?" he offered.

"I think she's a bit overrated myself." Trixie shrugged lightly, standing and glancing at her phone for the time. She chuckled at him, nodding. "Will do. I'll try not to be too heartbroken." She said sarcastically, watching the person pass before looking back at Matteo. "I noticed, yeah. I'd love that, I'll text you my address. Quarter till seven, I'm assuming?" She suggested, stepping closer to him. The move was instinctive, not fully conscious. The urge to be closer simply took hold of her.

Matt nodded as Trixie spoke, the same small smile displayed on his face. "Around then, yeah" he said softly, his expression changing slightly as she moved forward. He instinctively put his arms round her though rather gently for a couple seconds, then picked his laptop back up, not thinking much of it. "i'll see you later" he said softly, heading out the door shortly after. Contact with Trixie seemed to just feel..right, like it's all he'd ever done for the past month or two, and though he didn't mind it the feeling of confusion he was left with was just as unpleasant.

"Alright." Trixie nodded, taking in a light breath of surprise as he wrapped his arms around her. It was unexpected, but surprisingly pleasant. It felt... natural. Before she could think about it, she had already leaned into him, blinking up at him until he pulled away. She rested her hand on the tabletop, leaning on it slightly. "Yeah. See you then." She said breathlessly, watching him walk off with a flustered feeling.

i mayyy not be on again tonight, or until quite late- have some sorta halloween car thing))

Matt smiled at Trixie before leaving, smiling about the fact she seemed so flustered. He shook off the slightly puzzled feelings that seemed to come with the contact with Trixie and instead made his way back to the house, dreading the fact he had to actually converse with Layla as soon as he entered. The only thing that would be able to save him from it would have been messaging Trixie- but of course he was too awkward.

Gotcha- have fun!))

Trixie watched him leave with a faint smile, leaning back against the table after he left. She blew out a light breath and sat back down, thinking about Matt for a moment before she gathered her things and left. It was a quick ride back to her house, after which she texted him her address. She touched up her makeup and went rooting through her closet, seeing as he would be coming in about a half hour.

thankuuu! remind me never to put fake blood on my car again tho i 100% nearly got arrested)

Matt arrived home shortly after leaving, and for the next half an hour or so pretty much did the basic things. Showered, had a little bit of food, finished up the data input. And of course, conversed with Layla though it was boring enough. By the time it got to around 20 to he messaged Trixie, saying he'd be on his way. The address he'd given didn't seem to far at all, and if he was late we'll..it didn't matter too much.
