Loving, Mr Waters

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

THANDO
It's Friday night and me and my girls are out celebrating Kayla's latest project that she just finished at the club jamming to Tyla's album.
"I'm so glad this project is over and done with and we can finally socialize a bit. Honestly ladies, I can't remember when was the last time I enjoyed a night out or had sex for that matter." Kayla tells us for the firth time today as she looks around the room obviously eyeing some hot guys while Jasmine and I giggle beyond tipsy.
"Tell me about it. No one warned me that adulting would be this hard." Jasmine speaks next to me as she sips her dirty Martini."
"Cheers to that.." I say to the girls and we all raise our glass. "It's good to be out her and having a blast with you two."
"What are you talking about?" Kayla looks at me like I'm crazy. "We've been sitting here and talking for hours. We've yet to have a blush babes, come on girls it's time for dancing." She stands up extending her hands for us to take when my phone suddenly vibrates in my hand and I see a text from Matthew.
"I'll join you guys in a minute, I have to reply to this text real quick." I tell them hoping they'll go but instead they both sit down looking at me.
"You've been acting sneaky lately." Kayla points at me suspiciously. "Do you have something to tell us?" She asks giving me that interrogation look of hers and I shake my head fast it's a miracle I still have my head.
"Are you seeing someone you don't want us to know about then?" Jasmine jumps in staring at me and I don't know if it's my guilty conscience but the way she said those words is as if she knows something and wants me to come out clean.
"Who would she be seeing that she doesn't want us to not know about?" Kayla laughs as she asks Jasmine who's looking at me.
"Oh I don't know that's for our friend here to answer. Is there anyone Thando?"
Good radiance. My heart is racing, the alcohol I've been drinking completely out of my system as I look between my friends who are waiting on me to speak out.
Did I mention I'm a terrible liar?
Also what the fuck does Jasmine know? There's no way she knows about Matthew and me. Right?
My phone vibrates again but I ignore it lookingat my two best friends.
"Can you both stop. We're out here to have fun not to interrogate me." I tell them as I drink my drink at once.
"You know what? You're right. Let's go dance our butts out on that dance floor and enjoy the night." Kyla stands up but then point at me. "But don't you dare think this conversation is over. We will talk about this." she says as she walks to the dance floor leaving me and Jasmine alone.
"What?" I ask my forward friend who looking at me unimpressed. "Do you have something you want to ask me?"
"More like, do you have something to tell us?" She fires back and damn my phone for ringing again at the wrong time. I drop the call making sure to keep it out of Jasmines prying eyes.
"No."
"Alright. Answer whoever is calling and join us when you done." she says then proceeds walk leaving me on my own with my thoughts. As I watch her leave the voices in my head that's been telling me my friend knows something reminds me again.
One thing is certain, that Jasmine know. How I don't know but of this I'm sure.
My phone rings again and I answer Matthew who's breathing like he's been running a marathon. "Hi, babe."
"Jesus woman, are you trying to kill me with worry? I've been texting and calling." He says worry evident in his voice.
"I'm sorry to worry you for no reason but I couldn't answer because the girls were interrogating me. I think Jasmine knows about us Matthew." I tell him voice panicking. "What are we going to do?"
"Calm down babe. Why do you think so?"
"I know so. I could tell by the way she phrased her questions and this is not the first time." I tell him as I watch my friends dancing together and singing cheerfully enjoying themselves while I'm here panicking and worried.
"I'm so sorry you have to go through all of this on your own baby." He says. "I think we need to come out and tell everyone about us before they find out on their own. What do you think?"
"I totally agree. I hate lying to my friends and keeping our relationship a secret."
"Our relationship is not a secret Thando." He commands and I blame it on the alcohol how wet I get at his commanding voice.
"You know what I mean." I shift around trying to ease the ache.
"No I don't but I'll make this right baby, I promise."
"I miss you." I tell him wishing to be with him. "When can I see you?"
"Anytime you want." He answers. "Are you drunk?"
I giggle. "Just tipsy."
I tell him when I see a guy standing in front of me holding two bottles of Coronas. "Hello beautiful." he slurs eye ducking me and I hear Matthew groaning on the line. "Who's that?"
"I saw you standing on your own and thought I could come over and keep you company." The stranger continue speaking eyeing me hungry making me super uncomfortable.
"I'm actually here with my girls so I'll pass." I tell him hoping he will leave me alone but he doesn't.
"Oh, come on. I saw the look you were giving me. No need to start acting shy now. I know you want me as much as I want you." He tells me as he moves closer to me touching my waist tightly and trying to kiss me.
I see red.
Who the fuck does he think he is to touch me without my permission?
I don't know how but my hand connects with his cheek as I slap him hard my hand tingling right away. It's when I hear a lot of cursing and a door slamming that I remember that I was talking to Matthew's who's now yelling words I can't make out. "I'll call you back babe." I say then hang up without waiting for his reply.
I move away from the table leaving the guy standing in shock as I walk to my friends who meet me halfway fuming.
"Fuck you. How dare you touch my best friend without her fucking permission? Kayla yells at the stranger who's looking at us.
"You better disappear before I slap you harder perv." Jasmine chimes in and I stop them as they both try charging to the stranger.
"He's not worth it guys. Let's go dance and forget about him." I tell them as I lead them to the dance floor where we dance for a good minute before I feel hands tugging on my waist. I see the stranger guy again touching me angry this time around.
"Fuck baby that was a good slap. I bet you're a freak one in bed but you're only allowed to slap me in bed babes not in public." He raise his eyebrows suggestively and I gag disgusted. "Come on, it's time to go." He tells me dragging me as I fight him off but damn it he's very strong.
My friends charge at him cursing and I sink my nails in his shoulders which allows him to let go of me.
"You bitch, I was trying to be nice but clearly you'll listen the hard way." He yells his spit everywhere.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?? How dare you think you can force yourself to my friend like that?" Kayla pushthe guy hard making him fly on the floor but in record time he charges at us time holding my wrist tighter as I wince in pain.
"Oh, you'll both pay for that."
I connect my knee with his dick and he groan in pain looking pathetic. I'm about to curse him when my eyes connect with my boyfriend. The people on the dance floor move making a way as they watch a angry Matthew approaching our way. Our eyes stay locked and I see the look I've never witnessed on him before. Pure terror runs through my body as I look at him shivering.
I just know as I stare in his eyes that he's not about to let this go without beating this guy.
"Oh. My. God! Matthew is here." Jasmine cries next to me but I don't say anything as I watch him charge at the stranger with no warning. We all stand there unmoving as he takes the guy by his collar making him stand straight then punch him hard in the stomach.
"What the fuck dude? Who the hell are you?" Stranger dude ask Matthew groaning loudly while he tries standing up holding his stomach but Matthew isn't done as he throws another punch in his nose causing him to bleed and cough.
"Someone stop him before he kills him." Some guy says to the crowd but no one dares move. The music is no longer playing as people watch Matthew beating this deserving pervert.
"I dare you." Matthew challenges the crowd. "You all are fucking useless and disgusting pricks who watch a disgusting human force his hands on a woman without doing anything at all. And you call yourself man? I'll beat the shit out of everyone who tries to stop me from beating this shitface right now."
"Oh fuck you, that girl has been begging for my attention all night. Who are you anyway? Her boyfriend?" The stranger asks this time attempting to punch Matthew but fails as Matthew connects their forehead and send him flying backwards as he falls on the floor.
Everyone is quite now, all of us watching Matthew walk to the stranger then kneel before whispering something which the stranger nods at with pure terror on his face.
"Come on we're leaving." He says to the three of us already walking towards the door but Kayla stands firm, unmoving.
"Why do we have to be the ones leaving?"
"Don't start with your bullshit Kayla. If you still want to go clubbing you can still go and do that in another club. Now come on." He tells her leaving no room for debate and we follow him silently.
"Now that's hot as fuck. Imagine your man fighting for you like that. He sure would be getting a good blowjob from me when we get home." I hear a girl telling her friend as we pass them which makes me giggle because no matter what just occurred I can't help feeling the same way. Matthew Waters is hot when he punches someone and I'm here for it.
