Part 16

I get off his lap and sit back in my seat. His hand is interlocked with mine in between my legs. We pull into the mall parking lot and I look at Mattheo when we pull into a spot with Ryan's car right next to it. Mattheo goes to my side and opens my door. I get out and he closes the door for me. Ryan gets out the car and goes to the passenger side of his car. I look a little confused of who it is. Nala gets out and starts walking over to me and Mattheo.

 She pulls me into a hug and i just stand still looking at Mattheo with big eyes. " OH MY GOD HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" She lets go of me and goes to hug Mattheo. He scouts closer to me indicating not to hug him. She looks at me and then Mattheo just smiling. " SO WE GET TO GO SHOPPING FOR TODAY!!" i look over at Mattheo confused. "What exactly are we doing today?". " It's a surprise," Mattheo says, smirking. " Theoooo".

 Ryan cuts into the conversation "Aurora you'll be fine. You and Nala are going to go shopping together while Mattheo and I buy a few things". I look between everyone before sighing. "Okay but only for a little bit". Mattheo smiles a little at me and Nala's smile grew ten times bigger, Which i didn't even know was possible. " We have so much to buy before-". Ryan grabbed her hand to stop her from finishing her sentence. She looks over at him confused before realizing she almost told me what Mattheo has planned for me. 

She looks at Mattheo with apologetic eyes. " I am so sorry. I promise I won't slip up while we're gone.". Mattheo looks at her blankly. "It's fine". She looks at me and just smiles as Mattheo walks up to me. He cups my face with both his hands and looks me in my eyes. " I'll be back later to pick you up." He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a wad of hundred dollar bills." He hands it to me with no emotion on his face. "I don't care how much you spend". I look down at the money and then back up at him. I try handing it back to him. " I don't need it Theo" He hands it back smiling . " I'm not about to let you spend your own money on your birthday. I don't care how much of it you have, I'm paying for you". 

I reluctantly take the money and stick it in my pocket. " I'll see you later, love". I peck his lips quickly and start walking with Nala when I feel hands on my waist. I spun around and felt lips press against mine. I see Mattheo so I close my eyes. I feel his tongue brush against my bottom lip asking for entrance. I give it to him and next thing I know my hands are in Mattheos' hair and his hands are on my ass. I hear Ryan cough loudly and feel Mattheo start to pull away. I open my eyes as Mattheo puts his head on mine, looking me in my eyes with a straight face . "Never kiss me like that and walk away again. Understand?".

 I look at him nervously. " Yes". He lets go and starts walking to his car with Ryan following. I turn around to Nala and her jaw is dropped. I walk over to her smiling. " Oh my god. I've never seen Mattheo act like that". " How do you two know each other". I asked curiously. I've been wanting to know since the first time I saw her. " Oh. Mattheo's my brother". She shrugs her shoulders as she says that as if it's no big deal. " I didn't know he had a sister". I look at her and she just smiles.

 " Not a lot of people do. We have different moms so he doesn't really brag about me. I know he loves me and everything, But if a lot of people knew they'd know a lot about his life that he doesn't want people to know". I look at her sadly. " Well you can tell me anything." I don't judge and I definitely don't share people's secrets". I smile and grab her hand. " Okay. Now it's time to spend your brother's money!!" She smiles and squeezes my hand a little bit. " Let's go".

We walk into a boutique and I see the most beautiful white ball gown. It had off shoulder sleeves and had glitter on every inch of it. It was huge and perfect. Nala pats my shoulder causing me to look at her. " Why don't you get it? Mattheo told me your father has a ball every year." " Well yes but It's months away." I look at her a little disappointed. I want this dress so bad. But it's necessary to get it this early. " Why not be prepared?".
