Loving, Mr Waters

CHAPTER EIGHT

THANDO
Oh my God.
What the heck!! My whole body is dancing with nerves and excitement with everything that just transpired between Matthew and me. I can't believe that after years of crushing over him and fantasying about him kissing me it actually came to life.
Let me tell you. That man can kiss alright.
Now I know you might think I'm a bitch for leaving poor Lucas on his own and kissing Matthew while he's out there waiting for me.
Trust me I feel bad.
I walk myself back to our table and find Lucas sipping his wine while focusing on his phone. I sit down and take a sip of my drink while still trying to come up with an excuse to end this date without hurting his feelings.
"Thank goodness you're back, I was about to come to the ladies to check up on. You okay?" He ask the moment I sit down putting down his phone on the table.
Gosh I'm such a bad person while he's the sweetest.
Why couldn't I have chosen someone whom I didn't enjoy having dinner with instead.
"Everything is fine. I'm so sorry I took so long. I was on a phone call with my mom" I lie. I promise if I go to hell with the amount of lies I tell lately I'm definitely dragging Matthew with me.
"Oh okay then. I thought maybe you were ditching me" He laughs without realizing that's what I'm about to do. Now don't come at me but the moment I walked in here and locked eyes with Matthew I knew he wasn't going to make my dinner date with Lucas easy but I should have known better than to dine here. I even had plans to go on a second date with Lucas and get to know him more. I haven't laughed and enjoyed a guys company in so long and I suppose it's because I've been so fixated on Matthew for most of my life. A part of me wants to leave with Lucas and simply forget about Matthew.
I have so many questions like.
What if he's finally giving me his full attention because I'm dining with another Lucas? What if this is all to just get me to end my date with Lucas? I'm don't know what to do but then again a big part of me wants to hear what he has to say. And maybe I'm an idiot for wanting to give in but I don't want to regret never not giving him a chance and hearing what he has to say later in life so I'm just going to trust my heart that is very much urging me to go with Matthew and here him out.
"Actually I kind of about to." I say and before I get the chance to say more he laughs loudly completely taking me by surprising me. I see a few people looking our way but pay no attention to them but rather to the guy who's in front of me.
"What's funny?" I ask wanting to know what's got him giggling this much.
"Just how right I was to think you were going to send me home without a promise of a second date." he answers me.
"I'm really sorry. I really had a great night with you and enjoyed our time together." I apologize.
"No need to apologize. As long as you tell the guy that you're ditching me for that he's the luckiest man to have your full attention tonight."
I don't say anything to that because clearly he can see I'm into someone.
Right now I can only hope Matthew Waters feels like the luckiest man alive as he is about to walk out of here with me and doesn't make me regret giving him a chance.
"Right. Umm I guess we can ask for the bill then?" I ask him unsure what to say next.
"Sure." He answers already calling our waiter asking for the bill but to our surprise we're told the bill is settled.
Ugh I'm going to kill Matthew for this.
"Do you know why our bill is paid?" Lucas ask me.
Shit, what do I say to that?
"Yeah, the owner kind of owes me a favor so I guess this is his way of paying me back." I laugh it off hoping to appear unfazed.
"Oh, okay then." Lucas nods buying my story.
After agreeing to be friends with Lucas I take my purse and walk back into Matthew Waters office.
The moment I get inside I'm pushed on the wall, Matthew's lips finding mine as he kiss me deliciously hard.
Good Lord a girl could get used to this.
Our kiss goes on for a good two minute before he's off of me taking my hand without saying a word and lock his office door. We walk into the garage and I spot his Bugatti parked on his reserved spot. He leads me quietly to the passenger side, opens the door for me and fasten my seatbelt. I wait patiently for him as he moves to his side,fasten his seatbelt as well and hits the road. We are both quite as he drives, my nerves eating me alive as I steal a glance at him while he's focusing on the road looking so handsome it shouldn't be allowed. I know I should be jumping with excitement right now but it's impossible especially because I'm not sure what awaits you. My focus is on the window when I feel his hand in mine as he twines them.
"Don't be nervous." He tells me as he brings my hand to his mouth and kiss it. I choose not to say anything but rather look at him giving him a smile.
Is this the same man that left my house last week telling me there's nothing between us?
Have I died and brought back to Earth unaware?
