Roomie (Matt Sturniolo)

34

"Kalosirthate stin Ellada!"

"Danke schön!" Matt waved at the doorman who gave him a weird look as he dragged his luggage into the resort lobby. You tugged at his arm, covering your mouth so you wouldn't laugh too hard and draw even more attention to the two of you.

"You just said 'thank you' in German, Matt"

"Wasn't what he said German?"

"He said 'welcome to Greece' in Greek because we're in Greece! Why would he speak German?"

When seeing how shocked he was, you laughed and intertwined your fingers with his. "I may have done my research"

"My wife is going to be a translator on this trip, huh?"

"Your wife only knows how to say 'good morning' and 'good night' so you're not so lucky" you said, leaning up to peck his lips, but he wrapped his arm around your waist and kissed you passionately. It could've turned into a make out session if you didn't come to your senses and pull away.

"Can we do this when we're alone?"

Your question made Matt laugh. He ran his hand along your back. "We're married. People know we make out"

"We do, just not in the resort lobby" you said, rolling your eyes.

With his arm around you, you headed for the reception desk to check in and get the keys. You were the happiest you'd ever been since the wedding night. Plus, you were on their romantic honeymoon, on a beautiful island in Greece, and you were gonna be there for an entire week, just the two of you. It almost seemed like nothing could go wrong.

Almost.

"Matt?"

When Matt heard that voice, he thought he was going crazy. But as the voice got louder, causing the staff to look at him. He knew it was real.

"Babe?" You mumbled, frozen to the spot. "Did you hear that too or was it just me?"

"I heard it too.." Matt sucked in a breath and you both turned at the same time. Of all the annoying people in the world Matt came across, it had to be his mortal enemy- his cousin, Jackson.

Despite Matt's glare, Jackson was smiling. "What a lovely coincidence! Are you guys on your honeymoon?"

"Are you here to ruin my life?"

Jackson laughed. "You're still funny, Matt. We're here on summer vacation. Oh, there she is!"

"My baby!"

"I think I'm going to throw up.." you whispered to Matt, making him laugh.

Olivia showed up, wearing a massive hat that covered half of her face as she walked towards you all.

Olivia laughed and pulled you and Matt into a hug. If Matt didn't push her away, who knows how long she would've kept squeezing you. "We missed your wedding! I think our invitation got lost in the mail!"

"Bold of you to think we sent you one!"

You nudged Matt, laughing nervously. "It's okay, Olivia. We missed yours too"

"We'll come to your second ones!"

Olivia and Jackson laughed at her rude joke. You and Matt felt like you'd both rather light yourselves on fire than have this dumb conversation.

"We're going to our room now" you said, holding Matt's arm. "Nice talking to you"

"Bye!"

You heard Olivia loud and clear but you didn't look back, you just walked as quickly as possible towards the elevator.
