Chapter 300 - The Truth

"So, we are still good friends, right?" Jim asked for her again for confirmation.

"Yes" Megan nodded her head and Jim was truly relieved now.

"Thank goodness. You know what, Megan, you mean a lot to me. I would never wish for this friendship between us to get ruined for any reason, especially the silly reasons like these." Jim informed her.

Megan was glad to know, she means something to him and promised, "Don't worry Jim, this friendship means a lot to me too. I would never let it get ruined." She assured him 

The two people then continued rehearsing their kiss scene and since they practiced it in front of other people, it felt less awkward for Megan and Jim was professional like always.

Megan was different in a way, she would feel more comfortable practicing such scenes in front of everyone as their presence keeps her growing feelings in control. 

After a few trials, Jim and Megan perfected their scene and Jim treated everyone to lunch, making Zoey happy.

Matt's Home

When Lisa woke up, her head was spinning in pain. She was reminded of the day when she got drunk the first time at Daniel's housewarming party.

Today too, she felt her brain split in two halves just like that time.

'Why do I keep drinking, if I can't handle it?' Lisa cursed herself and was about to step down the bed when she realized this room was not hers.

Lisa looked to the other side of the bed and it was empty. Emily was not lying next to her.

'Fuck, where am I?' Lisa worriedly questioned herself and rubbed her eyes, to look at her surroundings clearly.

This room felt familiar, after a few seconds she realized it is Matt's guest bedroom, where Patrick stays.

'Why the fuck am I here? If I am here, where is Pat?' Lisa was lost in her thoughts when a sudden sound interrupted it.

KNOCK!! KNOCK!!

Lisa lifted her head, to look at Matt, who brought two mugs of coffee.

"Why am I here?" Lisa asked him.

"Morning Lisa" Matt greeted her and handed her the cup of coffee, ignoring her question.

"Thank you" Lisa accepted the mug.

"How are you feeling?" Matt worriedly asked her.

Last night, she drank way too much, so he was worried if she was having any pain.

"Worse. Matt, next time, don't let me get drunk. I just can't handle it." Lisa declared only to hear Matt chuckle at her words.

"What's so funny?" She glared at him.

"Nothing, you look cute, when you are drunk" Matt recollected last night and how much fun she had after they joined Rachel and her friends post their kiss.

Lisa helplessly shook her head, "To entertain you for a few hours, I am not going to suffer from this kind of painful headache" she pointed at her head.

"Is it that bad?" Matt pressed her forehead with his fingers, gently massaging that area.

"Ahhh, amazing, do it more" Lisa closed her eyes and enjoyed it.

Matthew smiled seeing how close they again became, thanks to that housewarming party, that Lisa was comfortable around him. He could see she doesn't remember anything that happened last night, but he just wished to be sure.

"You remember the party, last night?" So, he asked her.

"Hmm, we had a lot of fun. So many celebrities were present there" Lisa excitedly opened her eyes as she met a lot of celebs, as Amanda herself personally introduced her to everyone.

"Yeah, Amanda and you just hit it off" Matt exclaimed.

"Oh yes, you know what, I and Amanda even decided to meet up next week after her play is wrapped up, I hope she remembers it" Lisa searched for her phone to drop a message to Amanda.

"Here it is" Matt kept her phone on the table and brought it to her.

"Thanks, you didn't tell me, how I ended up here?" Lisa questioned him.

"Last night or rather it was almost early morning by the time we came back home…"

"Oh, that late? Fuck, I don't remember staying awake for so long" Lisa informed him.

"Hmm. So, after we came back, I was supposed to take you to your home but luckily, I checked my phone and saw Patrick's message, he was staying with Emily and requested to let you sleep in his room instead, so…" Matt honestly told her, how she ended up sleeping here.

"Oh, got it. I am glad Patrick and Emily's relationship is all fine now" Lisa smiled in happiness,

'This girl cares about everyone's happiness but hers' Matt thought to himself.

"Yeah, I am glad too" He normally said, before asking her, "Do you remember anything else?"

"Hmm, I danced a lot, ate a lot and drank a lot" Lisa brightly smiled recollecting last night, "Last night was the best time of my life" She happily declared and checked her phone only to get shocked after reading something.

"SHIT!!!" Lisa cursed.

"What happened?" Matthew asked in concern. 

"Last night, Steve too was at the play and saw us together, he thinks there is something going on between us." Lisa informed him, while replying something to Steve.

Matthew got irritated when he heard Steve's name. It was even more annoying that Lisa was worried about Steve misunderstanding them.

"What are you replying?" Matt asked her, trying to hide his disappointment at how affected Lisa was by just reading Steve's message.

"The truth" Lisa answered him but her attention was still on her phone, where she was drafting a message.

"Fine, come out for lunch" Matt left her room, to give her the privacy but he also wished to hide his pain from her.

After a few minutes, Lisa came out and joined him for lunch, she suddenly asked seeing his bad mood, "You alright?"

"Hmm, what would happen to me?"

"I thought you were as affected as me about the kiss we shared last night but I guess you would rather pretend nothing happened" Lisa calmly dropped a bombshell on him.
