Never Fade

Jeanne

JEANNE

Matthew is my brother’s friend?
My brother knows Matthew.

 I brushed my hair and falls it down. Its seems like it the first time I’ve seen my own reflection.

“ Matthew” I said at the mirror.
“ Matthew” I whispered.
I pushed up my peplum black dress to fully cover my breasts. I don’t want to look like a petite slut in front of Matthew. I spray a small amount of my Victoria Secret vanilla perfume.  Added lip gloss and clutched my necklace for support.
“ Just calm down Jeanne. Be yourself” I said to myself in silence.
Afterwards, I headed back to the table.

When I got back a blond woman wearing a Vermillion A-line dress. She’s tall and beautiful. Bob’s right hand rests on her waist. Bob’s boyfriend I see.
“ Jeanne where have you been?” asked my brother.
“ My dress needs a fix.”
Peter stood up and introduced me to everybody
“ Hey guys, this is my gorgeous and intelligent sister Jeanne”
The blond girl turns my body and gave a smack on my cheeks.
“ Its lovely to meet you, Jeanne. I’m Mia”
Mia exceedingly beautiful. High, prominent chin, piercing icy-blue eyes. Her pinch nose is contrasts to Nicole Kidman’s.
Matthew remains in his chair steady and stern.
I can see that my brother is seated next to Nathan and the only chair left is next to Matthew.
Phew!  I will be seated next to Matthew.
He stood up and helped me to sit.
Matthew is of course a gentleman.
Dinner was served the next minute.

After a delicious dish served and fancy discussions, the night went off and we had are drinks. Bob was talking about his business trip in Alaska. Mia boasted about an auction she bought in London Fashion week. Peter shared about his trips as a travel agent. Nathan was all about politics.
When its Matthews turn, I did listen attentively and watched closely the opening of his mouth.
He told us about his new project been promoted.
His Adam’s apple drops. Moreover, I was suspecting the shape of his chin to the ends of his kissable lips.
 After Matthew’s talk, everyone turned to my direction. To find out it was my turn and I the butterflies in my stomach started to flutter.
Well, there is not much about me to be described. I talked about my college and my future career. My fond of reading was discussed, the road trips and summer vacations I spent, and my profile.
They didn’t reach my personal stuffs.
Peter ordered Martinis, Vodka, Tequila and Beer. We all raised our glass for growing old.
Later on, Peter was so drunk that he grabbed Nathan and went to the dance floor. The place was getting high when they played Red Lights by Tiesto.
The couple, Bob and Mia followed them.
I was beginning to feel the dizziness. My head was heavy. I must have drink too much, that I didn’t know head rested on Matthew’s shoulder.
His smell is very alluring.
Captivating.
“ Will you be okay Jeanne?”
“ Uhuhmmmm” which sounded like a moan.
“ I didn’t know you are too vulnerable to drinks”
“ How many glass did I drink?”
“ Fifteen I think”
“ Darn! I must have been so tough”
He faced me and his chin hits my forehead.
I chuckled out while blurt out a smile.
Then, I can feel that my cheeks are turning red.
“ You did not text me Matt”
“ I’m sorry. I have a lot of things to do”
“ Gimme your phone. I’m going to give you my number again so that you won’t forget about me”
He handed me over. Drunk.
I haven’t seen such a sexy writer getting drunk.
Indeed, he is the most beautiful creature God has ever created.
Matthew is smiling, that makes him more beautiful.
After I typed my number, I felt like I was going to puke. The loudness of the music contradicts inside my eardrum. I hover next to Matthew.
“ Do feel anything Jeanne?” He asks gently.
His voice.
His majestic manly voice echoes inside me.
I feel you Matthew. Do you feel me?
“ I feel bloated you know.”
“ Next thing, you are going to puke”
“ Hahah not in your jeans”
He coats me with his arms and I’m feeling him now. I nestled into him.
I was ignited by his touch.
His warmth.
His presence.
Its was him who is giving me wings, to fly and to be free.

OH NO! I am going to pass out.
I straightened my body but Matthew hold my motion.
Accidentally, I fall in to his chest.
Bang!
Its was hard.
I didn’t fall into a pillow. I had fallen in to Matthew’s broaden chest. The most abundant landing place on heavenly earth.
My sight was flashing and I was about to pass out.
“ Just hang in there Jeanne”
I heard him called out Peter.
Then, my eyes was so weak and my body was fuelled with alcohol.
Ommmgosh! I’m about to faint.
No, just keep your eyes open.
My sight was fading out.

For a second I was about to pass out.
I felt a touch of lips in my forehead.
Oh My!
Matthew just kissed me.
