MISTRESSES

4: MARY (4)

Matthew and Mary were both in his car, heading to an unknown place. Mary had a beautiful golden glittery dress with a matching mask. Her sister had styled her hair from straight to wavy, and this gave her a charming look. She had a few jewellery, and all these sumed up to make her look stunning.

The trip was silent, and Mary kept stealing glances at Matthew every now and then, trying to know if he was also looking at her while driving, though the thought of it was a little stupid. Matthew, who seemed so focused on driving, still noticed Mary glancing at him.

"Why do I feel like I'm being watched?" He asked teasingly, making Mary blush, but luckily, she had a mask.

"I wasn't staring at you." Mary denied.

"But I didn't say YOU were watching me."

Mary froze after realising her little mistake, making her blush a little more.

"I'm sorry. I just thought you looked hot while driving." Mary said and put her hands on her mouth after realising what she had just said.

Earlier, Ivy had told her not to act all shy but a little more bold around Matthew so he'd know how she feels about him. But after describing him as 'hot', she felt so embarrassed that she wasn't able to speak for the next few minutes. Matthew didn't say a thing but just smiled at her cuteness. He didn't want to make her feel worse than she already did.

"I'm sorry." Mary finally said after mustering some courage. "I didn't mean to say that."

"You mean describing me as hot?"

"Yeah..." Mary said and blushed harder.

"Actually, I don't really mind if you call me hot. I'm rather pleased to be honest cause ever since I kissed you, you've been acting kind of weirdly around me so I thought maybe I was just a random guy to you or some kind of 'big bro'."

"Oh no! It's nothing like that. I mean, of course I see you as a man, but I'm just too shy when I'm around you."

"There's no reason to be so shy or self-conscious when you're with me. Just be yourself, and that'll do the trick." Matthew said and put his hand on Mary's lap.

Mary blushed.

"Okay." She said.

Mary felt a little better after having that conversation with him, though his hand on her lap still got her face hot, but she had some peace of mind.

Mathew kept driving silently, and as time went by, they got closer to their destination. Mary saw a beautiful villa with a huge black gate. Matthew stopped just in front of it and took out the invitation card he had in his suite. A man dressed as a gatekeeper came to them and scanned the invitation Matthew had. When that was done, he scanned Matthew's fingerprint to confirm his identity as well before pressing a botton, which opened the gate and thus gave them access to the villa. Mary had never seen such safety measures just to get into a house except on tv. She was a famous model but not famous enough to get invited to such luxurious places.

'This might be his house.' She thought as the car moved in.

She was paying attention to everything until the car stopped moving. Matthew had pulled over just in front of the entrance, and a valet came to them. He left the car and helped Mary get off before giving the keys to the valet for further parking. With a swift gesture, he took Mary's arm in his, and they walked in. Mary saw a well-decorated living room and a few guests and waiters roaming around the place. She thought Matthew would stop to greet other guests, but he just walked past them and went to the backyard where there were more guests. The place had a pool, birthday decorations, a Dj, and much more. It really seemed like a place to party compared to the living room, which had a calm and classy atmosphere.
