Matthews P.O.V
“A Date?” mouthed Mikey, as my eyes quickly shot to him.
I wanted to face palm myself. I didn’t even mean to say it; it just slipped out. I don’t know why I said it, because the lack of control I’m showing; is far from the type of person I am. I am always cool, calm and collected. Right now, I sound like a bumbling fool. I looked down and felt embarrassed at how uncool I was being.
“A Date?” Ali asked, repeating my question back to me.
My mouth opened and closed. I did want to go on a date with Ali, ever since last night, when I realized that I was in love with her; but I didn’t want to ask her like this. I wanted to woo her the way a woman should be, when a man is trying to win her love. Besides, I don’t even know if she has any feelings for me. There was that one
Matthews P.O.V“Call her back and tell her that I won’t be able to see her, because I have meetings all day.” I said in a demanding tone.Mikey scoffed and shook his head.“You do want me to die!?” Mikey rhetorically asked me, as if my request, was a stupid thing for him to do. He shook his head “Not going to happen. I am not lying to your mother,” he said emphasizing the word lying.I shook my head at his dramatic attitude.“It’s not that hard; just call her and say what I told you to say.” I said, walking towards my room.“If it’s not that hard, then you do it.” He said following me.I paused mid step.I was not going to do that, my mother is crazy,I
Ali’s P.O.V[BEFORE MATTHEW ARRIVED FOR THEIR DATE]“Dillion, I’m home!” I shouted, as I entered my apartment and quickly headed towards the kitchen.When I entered the kitchen, I found Dillion at the kitchen island, currently in the middle of making himself a bologna sandwich for breakfast. He was almost finished making it, which was a relief, because it saved me time from making it for him, for breakfast. He looked up when he heard me coming into the kitchen. “Your back already. Thank you for dropping Dina off to school,” Said Dillion as he smeared the mayo over the bread.“It was no big deal,” I waved my hand dismissively into the air. “I’ll pick
MATTHEW P.O.V“Dillion you can not be serious right now.” I said, rubbing my temple in irratation.Mikey and I did as he said, and walked into the living room and sat onto the sofa. Dillion walked in right behind us, and sat on the single chair opposite of us. Mikey looked at Dillion with narrowed eyes, then his attention turned towards the gun. He still didn’t say anything.“What are your intentions with my sister?” said Dillion as he wiped the gun with a table cloth.I was close to correcting him on the fact that Ali wasn’t really his sister, since they weren not blood related. Then again, the close bond they have, and the gun he is holding says otherwise. Mikey was still looking at Dillions gun. He didn’t bother to answer the question since he wasn&rsq
Matthews P.O.VAs Ali and I stepped into the store, we told the lady at the desk our names, and she led us towards two open seats. Ali saw the aprons hooked onto the wall for the customers to wear. She grabbed two from the wall and handed one to me. I looked around the room and noticed there were other people wearing aprons and also waiting for the class to start. As I looked at the paintings that hung on the wall, I still could not place why this store was so familiar.In the front of the room there was a small stage that was made for the instructor. It had one big blank canvas and everything else a painter needed. I have never been here before, and even though the apartment building is not far from here; I still don’t remember seeing this place. I started thinking to myself, maybe this was one of those moments when people get déjà vu. I turned towards my side and looked at Ali.
Matthew P.O.V“This was a long time ago, so I won’t blame you if you do not remember,” Cassie said to me before she continued on with her story.“Okay,” was all I replied, while I waited for her to speak.“Two years ago, my little brother got sick and needed a heart transplant.” We didn’t have the money for the transplant, even though we did have health insurance.”“Health insurance can help, but not almost all the time.” Ali mumbled sadly.Cassie nodded “and we were praying that somehow, we’d get help raising the money for it. Both my mother and my father did overtime at work, just so that we could make more money in order to pay for the heart transplant. I was still attending college at the time, so I decided to work a part time job; hoping it wil
Ali’s P.O.VWhen Will arrived, Matthew opened the car door for me and closed the door behind him, after he got in the car. Will smiled at me in greeting and waited for his boss to tell him where to go.“Where to now sir?” said Will, as his hands were on the wheel, ready to head to our next destination.Matthew looked at me “Are you hungry?”I nodded my head in reply to his question. On cue, my stomach started growling when he mentioned the word hungry. I forgot to eat breakfast, because I was to excited for this date. Matthew chuckled as my cheeks turned a bit red from the embarrassment.Matthew looked at Will “We’ll eat at Lia’s,” then turned his attention to me. “Is that okay?”I nodded my head at his question. I really did enjoy eati
Matthew P.O.VIt was him, I thought to myself.The adorable little boy before me, that looked to be around the same age as Dina, was none other than Adam. The same little boy that was in the children’s hospital and shared the same hospital room as Ruby two years ago. He had a black backpack, wore a black and white t-shirt; with jeans, and black shoes. He had those same green eyes and dirty blonde hair; the only difference was that he was a bit taller and missing two front teeth. I looked at the little boy with both surprise and happiness. I didn’t realize Dina knew him, also I didn’t realize that Dina had friends. I had hoped she did, but didn’t think she did. She never talked about them when I babysat her a while ago, or was around her overall.I bent down, eye level to the little boy, and extended my hand out in g
Matthew’s P.O.VWhen we finally reached the store. I opened the car door and stepped out. Holding it open for Ali to get out. When Ali got out of the car, I walked towards the driver’s window and instructed Will to stay nearby. He nodded in reply to my instructions and drove off. I know my aunt, and she is going to be shocked when she sees Ali. When she sees Ali, she is going to have so much questions to ask and I wouldn’t be shocked if she ends up calling my mother, to tell her about Ali. I have never brought any woman to see her before, so this will be the first time.Ali had a nervous look on her face. I smiled when I noticed the look on her face, finding it adorable how nervous she looked. She had no idea that Madam Lavu is my mother’s sister; so, Ali is going to be in for a surprise when she finds out. I grabbed Ali’s h
