Mei's POV

"Jimmy, where the hell are you taking me?" I giggled as he dragged me through what I assumed to be the park. You see, this goofball thought it would be fun to blindfold me with a necktie, that I was sure he stole from Zacky, and lead me blindly to our surprise destination.

Now, I don't know about you, but smashing my knees into things and tripping over my own feet wasn't my idea of 'fun', especially on my first day back in Huntington Beach after a very long year. Okay, so maybe he kidnapped me as soon as he picked me up from the airport but I had to admit it was comforting to know that I was missed.

"Don't you worry your pretty little head, Mei Mei," I could hear the concentration in his voice, which was saying a lot considering his extreme case of ADHD. Jimmy planted a sloppy kiss on my temple as he steered me to the right. "Patience young padawan, the prize is worth the wait," he said in his best Yoda voice, causing me to throw my head back with laughter. God I missed him.

"You telling me to be patient is like me telling you that you can't terrorize Johnny," I laughed. "You know I hate surprises!" It was true. I hated everything and anything that had to do with that awful feeling of anticipation. In my experience the surprise was always short lived or not worth the build up. Call me skeptical, but I didn't really think anything was worth the wait, especially after my last experience with a surprise. I was still hurting from losing Matt because of my new job. "But really, where are you taking me?"

"To infinity and beyond!" He cried before bursting out into a rousing scream-singing version of 'You've Got A Friend In Me'. Oh, great the Toy Story reference have returned! Jimmy really was like a kid in a grown man's body but that was part of the reason why I loved him. “Just keep walking, we are almost there!”

It was then that my foot snagged on what felt like a tree root and I went tumbling forward. Before I could shriek, I felt pair of strong arms grab me around the waist and attempt to pull me back to my feet. Unfortunately our legs got tangled in the process and we both fell to the ground. Well, I guess one thing didn’t change in my time in New York—I was still a klutz.

"Oomph." My petite slender frame crashed down onto Jimmy, knocking the wind out of me. "Well, wasn't that graceful," I gasped out with a smirk. My hands instantly reached up to pull off my blindfold only to find to crystal blue eyes looking back up at me. "That was some save," I joked as Jimmy looked with a smirk on his lips.

"You cheated," he said firmly, throwing me a pointed look. “You did that on purpose so you could see where we were!” Okay, he caught me. I planned to cut my knee open on purpose, not.

My jaw dropped in a half smile as I gapped down at him. "What? How could I have cheated? You think I planned that trip?" I laughed. "Did you forget that you are friends with the most uncoordinated brunette on the planet? I know I was gone for a little while, but I’m still the same old Mei.”

“I know your evil ways, Mei Mei! You cannot fool me! You’ve been dealing with dark sorcery in New York! Release the little gnome from inside you evil spirits!” Jimmy's hands were suddenly flying down to my waist, ticking me senselessly. “Bring back the little gnome!”

“It’s me! It’s me!” I roared with laughter as his hands mercilessly tickled me. “Jimmy stop it—haha—it hurts from—haha—laughing!”

“Will you behave the rest of the way?” He asked, still tickling me in the middle of the trail.

“Yes! Yes, I promise! I-I—haha—saw nothing!” I laughed. Suddenly Jimmy let out a wild scream and jumped to his feet, pulling me up with him. I stumbled to the side but he quickly balanced me on my feet, looking around with a very serious expression.

“Come, they are onto us,” he said, his eyes darting from left to right. I opened and closed my mouth a few times as he pulled me into the thick brush, the branches scrapping and cutting my exposed legs.

“Who’s onto us? Jimmy—oww,” I said, trying to keep up with him as dragged me deeper and deeper into the thicket. “Jimmy can you slow down? Oww—I keep—oww—getting cut and hit with these branches!”

“Almost there…” he kept saying over and over again, though I still didn’t know where ‘there’ was. I was so disoriented in this whole adventure that I had no idea where I was anymore. I guess a year away from home would really kill your familiarity of surrounds.

“Jimmy, what are we—” I started only to be pulled into a clearing on the edge of a very private corner of the ocean. The waves were gently washing up over the shore as the sun was starting to set, painting one of the most beautiful scenes I had ever seen.

“Whoa…” I breathed in awe, looking around at a beaming Jimmy. “Jimmy what are we doing—” It was then that I saw the very familiar silhouette standing to the right. My heart instantly started pounding in my chest, knowing exactly who was waiting for us—Matt. He had only haunted my dreams from the moment I left. “Matt?” I asked breathlessly, my heart fluttering in. It all felt like a dream.

“I’ll leave you two to catch up,” Jimmy said before he gently kissed my cheek and disappeared into the brush.

“Is that really you?” I asked, taking a step toward him because I didn’t believe my eyes. My fingers tips gently ran down his cheek as a spark erupted from our touch. I quickly pulled my hand away with a gasp, looking up into those handsome hazel eyes in shock.

“Yeah, it’s me,” Matt chuckled, pulling me into a hug with a dimpled grin. The smell of his sweet mouthwatering cologne hit me like a brick wall and I couldn’t help but close my eyes and breath it in.

“Long time no see, huh?” He said as he pulled away. I looked up and nodded as bit down on my lip, trying to fight the urge to dive back into his arms. God I missed him, but I didn’t know if he felt the same way. “You look as beautiful as ever….damn, Mei,” he said, brushing a strand of my hair behind my ear. I gasped in shock as another electric current shot through me.

“Thanks,” I blushed, biting down on my bottom lip harder. “You don’t look too bad yourself…” I couldn’t help but smile at how naturally our old mannerisms were coming back. “How-how have you been?”

“You know me,” Matt shrugged as he carefully lead me over to the picnic setting he set up. “Same old monkeys, different circus,” he chuckled and I couldn’t help but join in. That was definitely an accurate description of the Avenged family.

“You look good, Matt,” I smiled, setting my hand on his. Another spark traveled down my spin and by the look on Matt’s face, I wasn’t the only one who felt it. “And I love the album…it’s basically been the only thing on my playlist since it came out.”

“I knew you’d like it,” he said, smiling down at me with that dimpled grin I loved so much. “I just wished you could have stuck around to see the process,” he said, his face falling ever so slightly. I instantly felt a wave of guilt wash over me. I had wasted two years of our time together for nothing. I should have never assumed that we had to be over just because I moved to New York. We loved each other and we would have worked it out…but did he still love me?

“Me too,” I agreed, looking up at him through my lashes. “Look Matt about that night…I-I never met to hurt you…and I am sorry for how I left things. I didn’t mean what I said…” I trailed off embarrassed and hurt by my own actions.

“I know, and I understand why you let, though I don’t agree with how you did it.” Matt’s eyes looked down at me so intensely that I gasped in surprise. In that instant it felt like our souls were connected. “And for the record, I still meant what I said back then too.”

I took in a shaky breath as my heart fluttered wildly in my chest. “Tell me again,” I practically whispered, moving over to cuddle into his side. It was too hard not to be next to him after waiting all this time.

“I love you,” Matt said with a growing smile.

My breath caught in my throat. I stood their gapping at him, my ears and my brain working to register and translate his words. I blinked a few times, trying to find my voice because I was sure I had heard him correctly. “Say it again…”

Matt moved closer and cupped my face with his calloused before I could even register what he was doing. His hazel eyes intently looked down into my swimming eyes, a very serious and almost scared look coming over his face. “I love you, Mei,” he said softly, pressing his forehead to mine, his gaze growing in intensity. He looked like he was afraid that I was going to disappear before his eyes.

“Y-you still do?” I felt a whole new wave of emotions come over me as I looked into his eyes. Matt’s hazel orbs told me everything that I needed to know, that and the kiss that crashed down upon my lips a second later. It was everything thing I had wanted since I fell for the guy and oh, it was so much more.

“I love you too,” I murmured against his lips in the heat of the kiss and my words only intensified everything.

My heart soared as electricity shot through my body the minute his lips touched mine. All the pain instantly washed way, feeling his every emotion while he kissed me in the most sensual way I had ever experienced. The butterflies were exploding in my stomach and my closed eyes rolled back into my head, my arms wrapping around his neck. I felt like I was floating to cloud nine in an out-of-body experience as my body trembling under his every touch.

At that moment, I couldn’t deny the love between us—I could feel it in ever fiber of my being. There was no turning back now; we were both all fours into this. And for the first time we were both equally vulnerable and there was something refreshing and terrifying about it all the same. We were now in this together and one wrong move would destroy us both and thought scared me to no ends, but I was willing to fight for him. I should have fought for him from the beginning instead of giving up on us. I was an idiot and I saw that now.

“Please, promise me you’ll stay,” Matt asked breathlessly, his eyes begging me. He looked like he would crumble if I pulled away from him, not that it was physically possible for me at that moment. I craved, no, I needed his touch, his companionship, his love.

“I’m yours if you’ll have me…I don’t want to leave you again, no matter what happens with my job,” I said softly, looking into his eyes and seeing a small smile come across his face as he nodded. Matt held me in a tight embrace, eliminating any and all distance between us. I could feel all of him: his warm breath on my cheek, the rise and fall of his chest, his heartbeat, and the hard reminder that my very presence turned him on. I was so engrossed with him that I nearly forgot that we were in the middle of a raging party.

Matt looked down at me with a small smile, his arms scooping me into the air. “You’re mine,” he growled with a devilish smirk gracing his handsome features. “And I wouldn’t have it any other way, love.”

His lips ravished mine again, but this time it was more hungry and passionate. His arms lifted me into the air and legs circled his waist. I could feel us moving and hear the music blaring but then suddenly it was quiet, but I had no idea where we were. My lips were firmly connected to his and my only thoughts were on him and love I felt for him.

I squeaked when Matt picked me, his lips moving feverishly against mine. The next thing I knew Matt was leading down a small path with a mischievous smile on his face. “Where are you taking us?” I giggled, feeling the happiest I had in years.

“It’s a surprise,” Matt wiggled his eyebrows at me as we moved through the brush to his car that was hidden in the thicket.

“Are we going somewhere?” I looked around and then back at him with a bewildered smile. Only Matt didn’t answer instead he pulled me into his arms. I felt my stomach starting to warm up as his hands slowly slid over my hips. I swallowed thickly as he pulled my hips against his and I could feel his hardness pressing against my stomach.

“I think you know what we’re doing here….” He finally breathed against my neck. “I haven’t seen my girl for over two years and you know what I want?” he whispered, dragging his lips across my neck, stopping at my ear.

“Wh-what’s that?” I stammered as he slid one hand down to my breast and began tracking my nipple through the thin fabric. I moaned lightly as my body melted into his.

“Oh…I think you know,” he was killing me slowly, my knees almost buckling as he squeezed my nipple through the fabric. “I want you…deep and wet. Do you like that that, love?”

“Yes,” I muttered, moaning as he gave each of my breasts equal treatment. Seconds later, he pulled my tank over my head and pushed my bra aside. He took my nipple into his mouth and swirled his tongue around the nub and then sucked, sending a shiver of pleasure all the way down my clit.

Moaning, I moved my hand to his pants and touched his penis, desperate to feel it inside of me. I was so turned on that I didn’t care about the consequences. I needed this man to fuck me.

“Uh, uh, uh,” he said, stepping back. He turned me around, pushed my hair to the side, and began kissing my neck. I closed my eyes again, enjoying his lips on my skin. He slid his hands to my breasts and pulled me closer. I could feel his hard-on pressed up against my butt.

“Matt…” I panted, the desire for him burning painfully. Just then he bent me over the hood of the cars and grabbed my hips, pushing the shorts I was wearing to the side. Then he began humping me through his pants, sending a swirl of tingling, tightening desire to my pelvis.

“Matt,” I moaned, feeling his erection hit my opening, driving my insane. “I can’t take this anymore. I need you…please…” I begged.

He stopped moving and slid his fingers into my panties. He shoved one inside of my hole and I moaned as he pulled it out and did it again. “You really want me to fuck you, Mei?” he said. “You sure that’s what you really want?”

“Yes,” I gasped as he slid a second one in. “Please.”

He added a second finger. “I don’t know. Are you wet enough? Hmm…I think I can make you wetter,” Matt murmured into my ear. I whimpered as he slid a finger up to my clit and began to rub it.

“Yes…” I gasped, spreading my hips wider, so he had better access. I heard Matt unzip his shorts and fumble with his boxers. Then he took my hand and guided me to his cock. “Please…Matt…I need this…” I whimpered, wrapping my hand around it. It felt so thick and though of it between my legs was enough to drive me crazy.

“I thought you’d never ask, babe,” Matt growled, pulling away from my hand. Then he pressed the tip against my hole, rubbing around the outside. “How bad do you want it?”

“Fuck me, please,” I begged, wiggling my sex against him. He pulled my hips up for a better angle, and plunged into me.

I gasped, feeling every inch of him. Long and thick, he stretched me wide, and the pain... it was so good. Especially when he pulled back and did it again.

“Fuck, you’re tight,” he said through clenched teeth. “Damn, Mei…” he moaned. He pulled back and began fucking me, this time not holding anything back. I closed my eyes and moaned with each glorious thrust, feeling his head hitting an inner part of me that made my entire G-spot vibrate.

Matt grabbed the back of my hair, and wrapped it around his hand. He pulled my head back and squeezed my left breast. “Fuck... you... are... so... beautiful,” he said, between thrusts.

Holding onto the hood of his car, I moaned as his hips slammed against my ass, causing the automobile to rock from the force. After a while, he slowed and leaned over me, his hand playing with my clit again. I was so close now and I felt the darkness rising. The next thing I knew I was soaring over the cliff screaming as the rippling waves of pleasure in my pelvis shook me to the core, giving me the release that I so desperately needed.

Seconds later Matt spilled his seed inside of me and slowly pulled me back into his arms. “I love you babe and there is nothing that will ever change that.” He whispered in my ear, and this time I truly believed him.

“I love you too,” I whispered into his shoulder with a kiss as we settled down on the hood of the car, watching the sun set over the ocean. This was everything I had ever dreamed of and more. Finally I was back where I belonged.
