Scarlette Thompson
"Grandmother.. I'm ho-" I stopped when I saw Matthew and my grandmother sitting in my really small apartment eating together without my grandmother killing him. I dropped my groceries to the ground and looked at the weird scene in shock.
"Hey Clumlette." Matthew smiled at me and I raised my eyebrows.
"Come here and eat! We ate first because we're hungry." My grandmother gestured to me to join fast.
"Here I am.. thinking that you hate him."
"He kept seeing me for a month trying to persuade me that he's good for you." My jaw fell and Matthew walked to me. He took my hand and pulled me to the dining room.
"Matthew, you know that my house is so-"
"It's just a house and besides it's cozy." He cut me as he pulled the chair for me. I sat down beside him and my grandmother smiled.
"Well.. can you explain?" I asked Matthew and gestured to him and my grandmother.
"I've been-"
"He's been trying to talk to me and just told me that he was sorry and he wanted to date you for real. He wanted my permission because you said that I'm your only family left." That explanation was enough for me and when I opened my mouth to say something. I hit my knee to the table and groaned in pain.
"Always Clumlette." Matthew chuckled and checked on my knee.
"Thank God the table's okay." He joked and I smacked his arm.
"Eat and you both go to work!" She said and I nodded smiling. We all ate our breakfast and I can't stop looking at Matthew. How can I get so lucky to date such a really perfect man? My feelings for him grow everyday and it's just amazing to see we both fall in love.. and date.
"Bye grandma, I will be home late today." I said as I kissed her cheek.
"I trust Matthew already, if something happens to you.. I will kick his butt."
"You know you can trust me.. right?" Matthew smiled to my grandmother and she smiled nodding. We bid our goodbyes and walked out from the apartment.
"I can't believe you do that.." I stopped in front of my apartment building and turned to Matthew.
"Do what?" He stopped and turned his head to me.
"Convince and talk to my granny." I said and he smiled. He took my hand and walked to his car.
"Wait.. I'll take a b-"
"Until when we're going to date in secret, Scarlette? It's almost 2 months and I cannot take it." He was right. It's been almost 2 months since we date and we never revealed it to anyone except his family and my family. I was his sad expression and I started to realize that all he ever wanted was to tell the world that I'm his but I was afraid. Everyone's eyes on him and every girl wants him and I was afraid that I would get attacked or something but now.. let's set that aside first.
"Let's go on a date tonight." I started and looked straight into his eyes. He smiled and nodded.
"I want to watch the newest movie, Justice League."
"Great.. I'll boo-"
"Let's just go there like an ordinary couple. Go there and buy the tickets there.." I stopped him from taking out his phone.
"Okay fine." He said and I gave him a peck on his lips.
"Shall we go, Mr. Lemiere?"
"How many times do I have to-" I pulled his tie and crashed my lips to his. He cupped my face immediately, kissing me back.
"We're late.." I stopped him and he nodded. He opened the door for me and I got inside. I put on my seatbelt and he got into the car too. He drove away and we turned on the radio to jam to some music. When we arrived at the Lemiere building, it was the time where everyone ran inside catching the lift. There's a lot of people..
"Let's go." He said and I gulped nervously. I tried to be brave and do this for Matthew. I got out from the car and people started to look at me. Matthew grabbed my hand and walked inside.
"Don't cover your face." He stated and I nodded. I saw people starting to talk and whisper about me and Matthew.
"Good morning, Mr. Lemiere." They made a way for him.
"So this is why you went out so early?" Dylan joined and I smiled awkwardly.
"Shut up, Dylan." Matthew hissed and he put his arm around my shoulder.
"I wondered when will you two do this and thank God I can witness it." He joked and I smacked his arm playfully. Suddenly I slipped and again.. Matthew got me.
"Clumlette." Matthew chuckled and we arrived at the lift that was designed for him and his family. I looked around to see people looking at me weirdly.
"People are looking at me.. and the girls are going to kill me."
"Try to touch you, I will fire them right away." Matthew said in a really loud voice. Everyone turned silent and I looked at him in horror.
"Matthew!" I smacked his chest and he chuckled. He kissed the side of my head and we walked into the lift. Matthew pushed Dylan out for joining the lift.
"What the hell!"
"You hate PDA right? Well.. you will hate the whole ride to the office." Matthew smirked and closed the door. He crashed his lips right away. He kissed me hard and I circled my arms around his neck.
"Gosh.. I've wanted it since last night." He said between kisses.
"How about we stay at your apartment tonight?" I asked between kisses and he stopped right away. He looked at me in disbelief.
"What?"
"You know.. you cannot take back those words, Scarlette."
"I know.. Matthew Lemiere. I know that I will end up on yo-"
"Finish that sentence.. You and I won't go to work." He closed his eyes trying to hold his inner beast. I laughed at it. At the same time.. the lift door opened revealing my office floor.
"Well.. I'll see you.. tonight." I kissed his cheek and walked out.
"God.. please make the time faster." He said before the door closed making me laugh my ass off. I was joking about that but he took it seriously. Gosh.. Matthew you're so damn cute.
I walked into my office and got a glare from my friends. They looked at me with burning eyes and I looked at them confused.
"That's why Nicholas Lemiere.. put Brandon here instead of Matthew." Olive said.
"You're dating, Matthew freaking Lemiere." Eden hissed.
"I hate you." Tina said and my jaw fell.
"Are you guys seriously?"
"What's the big deal anyway? Let her be with him." Priscilla walked in and put a file on Tina's table.
"You! Brandon likes you.." Tina pointed and Priscilla laughed.
"Brandon likes me? Funny. Last time I checked.. he almost fired me and embarrassed me in front of you all. Forgot about that?" She said coldly to Tina and walked out from the room.
"That bitch!"
"She's cool." I said.
"Yeah because you date Matthew freaking Lemiere." Olive hissed coldly and I looked at her seriously.
"Is that a crime?" Olive looked at me in disbelief.
