Hitting every red light
Kissing at the stop signs, darling
Greenday's on the radio
And everything is alright
Now we're turning up the headlights, darling
We're just taking it slow

Matt rolls into Gemma's driveway and puts the van in park before grabbing his phone and shooting her a quick text message to tell her that he was here. Matt takes note of the lights that are on in the front room of their home and the shadows he can see moving from inside the home.

No more than five minutes later, Gemma walks out of the front door and down her driveway towards Matt. She's out of breath when she pulls open his passenger side door and quickly situates herself in the seat.

He smiles fondly at her "Why are you so out of breath?"

She pulls the seatbelt over her shoulder and clicks it in, exhaling a deep breath "I had to basically run out of the house, Avery kept trying to ask me where I was going"

Matt watches her plug her phone into the aux and raises his eyebrow "You still haven't told them we're... back together?"

Gemma looks at him "Have you told Nick, Chris and Madi?"

Matt purses his lips and smirks "Good point."

She smiles triumphantly and nods her head once as he pulls out of her driveway. The two of them nod along to Gemma's playlist and watch as the streets of LA move past them, the sun dipping behind the skyline.

Gemma reaches for Matt's hand that's resting on the centre console and she loosely laces their fingers together before speaking "I like this"

Matt smiles as he looks at her breifly "Like what?"

"This. Just us. I like how our business is out business and no one else', it's a nice change" She speaks softly to him and props their elbows up, waving their hands slightly.

Matt pulls up to a red light and takes the chance to look at her, smiling softly "Me too, I like having you to myself"

Green Day's song When It's Time begins to play and Gemma lets go of Matt's hand and leans over to him while she's got the moment. He figures out what she's going for and meets her in the middle, taking his hand off the wheel momentarily to cup her cheek as he kisses her.

It's sweet and slow, almost like the two of them are the only people in the world. Gemma puts her hand on Matt's wrist and get to put her own hand on his cheek when a car honks loudly behind them.

Matt and Gem both seperate from eachother in shock and see that the light has now turned green. She giggles as Matt coughs and quickly puts his foot on the excelerator, waving his hand to the car behind him as an apology.

Gemma continues to hold on her giggles and he smirks at her from the drivers side "I don't know why you're laughing, that was your fault"

Her jaw drops "My fault!?"

"Yes your fault! I wouldn't have missed the light turning green if you hadn't kissed me"

"You kissed me!"

Matt shakes his head, a grin now present on his face "Because your face was right there! I don't know what you expected me to do Gem"

Gemma flattens her look and Matt smirks, tapping her twice on the knee teasingly. The two of them go back to sitting in comfortable silence as they let the lyrics continue to play through the van's speakers.

So, tell me when it's time to say "I love you."

There's a slight breeze at the lookout and Gemma shivers slightly as she gets out of the car, kissing her teeth when she realises that the sweatshirt she was going to wear was left on the couch at home. She reluctantly shuts the door and walks around to the front of the car, leaning on the hood waiting for Matt as he shuffles around in his car.

The city lights twinkle in the distance and the last of the sun's rays disappear, making way for the moon and stars that she's able to see. Matt closes the door and walks around to the front of the van, leaning next to her as he passes her a sweatshirt. She looks at the green fabric in his hands and then back to him.

"You cold?"

Gemma smiles and takes the green dinosaur sweater off him, putting it on immediately. She pulls her head through the hole and flicks her hair out before turning to face Matt properly, grabbing his hands and dragging him away from the front of the car.

"Gem, what are you doing?"

She puts a song on and slips her phone into her back pocket, grins wide and uses Matt's hand to spin herself "Dance with me Matty"

Matt's eyebrows drop "You want me to dance? Right now?"

"Absolutely" She grins "It's just us" Gemma spins into him and he loops his arm around her shoulders before pushing her outwards. She throws her head back laughing as Matt missteps and loses his footing

"Matt follow my lead!"

Matt's face scrunches up "What lead? you're not leading shit!"

Gemma throws her head back again and lets go of one of his hands, giving Matt the chance to pull her towards him in a swift spin, her face collides with his chest as she continues to laugh.

He wraps his arms around her shoulders and dips his chin on the crown of her head like he was trapping her in "Gemma stop laughing at me" Matt whines.

Gemma's hands run up and down his back as she tries to push herself away from him. She manages to lift her head up and she breathes deeply "I'm done, I'm done, I swear"

He smiles down at her fondly and she stands up on her tip toes to crowd his space, only to have him pull away "You just laughed at me!"

"And I'm not anymore" she exclaims, digging her chin into his sternum and attempting to walk the two of them backwards. Matt follows her lead and manoeuvres so his right arm is slung over her shoulders instead of both of them around her neck and he walks them both to a bench to sit on.

The breeze continues to flow easily and Matt leans his head on her shoulder, moving it twice to get comfortable. Gemma's hand comes up to the back of his head to run her fingers though his hair and he sighs contently.

Gemma leans her head on top of his "Do you think they'll be mad we didn't tell them?"

Matt lifts his head from her shoulder and the two of them swap positions, Gemma leaning fully into his side "I think they'll be fine, Nick and Avery might have a few words to say but that's about it"

"And what about Josie, Chris, Jade and Madi?"

Matt snickers "It's not like Josie and Chris can defend themselves after the two of them have been sneaking around"

Gemma lifts her head up excitedly "So you know as well? she's such a shit liar! I can't believe she even tried to tell me and the girls that there was nothing going on"

"I think Chris just gave up on trying to lie, I washed one of Josie's shirts yesterday so"

"You should give it to me so I can give it to her"

He furrows his brows in confusion, urging her to continue

"I want to private to her she's the worst liar alive"

Matt kisses his teeth and smirks "Not as bad as you trying to convince yourself that you weren't completely obsessed with me when we first met"

Gemma goes into shock silence and sits up, pushing herself off the bench and walking to the car. Matt throws his head back laughing and turns around, throwing his hands up in the air "Gem, sunshine, where are you going?"

"Back to the van!"

Matt doubles over in laughter as she gets to the passenger side and pulls on the handle, only to be locked out. She groans in annoyance and Matt hears her forehead clunk on the window which only makes him laugh harder.

"MATTHEW"
