Age Of Innocence (AOI) [Sequel To IR]

Chapter 82 } Madly In Love

Part 2:
Matthews POV

"Bailey come here!" I called through her empty house.
"No, I'm busy! She called back.
"Please!" I groaned. I heard silence, the only sound coming from her stomping feet.
"What?" She growled. I could tell she was mad, which is not what I meant to do.
"Hey." I walked over to her and pulled her closer to me. "I didn't mean to make you mad. I called you up here to make you happy. I'm sorry." I apologized.
"It's okay." She replied adorably. "So what do you want, because the cupcakes won't make themselves, and you refuse to help me."
"I want you to forget about the damn cupcakes and come with me."
"Come with you where?"
"It's a secret." I smirked.
"That scares me." She said softly.
"Don't be scared." I chuckled. "Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Plea-." I begged until I was finally cut off.
"Shut up, I'll go." She laughed. I smiled and picked her up.
"Thank you very much." I smiled. She wrapped her legs around my torso and pressed our foreheads together. I leant in to kiss her when she dropped down from my support. "Hey!" I pouted.
"Oops." She giggled.
"Im going to get you!" I screamed. She yelped and ran quickly down the stairs. Finally I caught up to her and tackled her on the couch holding her down. She was trapped. I started tickling her until she begged me to stop. "Only if you kiss me." I said.
"Fine. Fine. I'll kiss you, just stop." She laughed out of breath. I smiled proudly as I leant down to kiss her, this time being successful. She pushed me off after a little bit. "Are we gonna go or what?" She asked. I took her hand and pulled her off of the couch and held her waist. Just as I did her dad came storming into the room. "Hi dad." Bailey greeted looking toward him.
"Hi honey." He said sweetly. "Matthew hands off my daughter." He directed at me harshly.
"Yes sir." I said stepping away from Bailey. "How was work Mr.Westwood?" I asked him.
"Stressful. Why is there a huge mess?" He questioned referring to the kitchen.
"Oh sorry dad, I was going to make cupcakes but, I got distracted." She said looking at me. I smiled proudly.
"Hmm." He hummed suspiciously giving me a glare.
"Mr.Westwood I dont know why you have it out for me when it comes to your daughter. I only have good intentions." I smiled pulling Bailey close to me again by her waist.
"That's hard to believe when you can't keep your hands off of her." I tried to step away again when Bailey pulled me back. "At least keep your hands were they're supposed to be."
"And where is that?" I asked.
"The equator. And right now, and every time before, they're in the South Pole. I don't like that."
"As you wish sir." I lifted my hand to the equator. Bailey's dad has always been protective over her.
"Dad were going to go somewhere so I'll see you later." Bailey took my hand and pulled me away.
"Where are you going?"
"It's a surprise." Bailey gleamed.
"Oh god, that's never good." Mr.Westwood muttered. "I'm not old enough to be a grandfather." He groaned standing and coming near us.
"What are implying Mr.W?" I asked anxiously waiting to hear his response.
"If you insist on getting in my daughters pants. Just make sure you use protection, please."
"Oh Micheal, no need to worry. I already did." I joked knowing Bailey's father and I have playful sort of relationship. He grabbed the collar of my shirt aggressively.
"Matthew, I will not hesitate to hurt you."
"Sorry sir."
"Have fun." He called after us.
"Don't worry. We will." I waved. He gave me one more glare before closing the door.
"My dad likes you. You know that right?" Bailey smiled as we turned off her street.
"You know it seemed a little hard to tell when he threatened to hurt me." I said pulling loosely on the collar of my shirt where he recently stretched it out.
"You two have an odd relationship. But he likes you, I know it." I smiled.
"Okay." I smiled, I knew he had to like me some what, since he approved on what I was about to do. "Close your eyes." I instructed. She closed them but I was unsatisfied. "No cover them with your hands. You can't see a thing." She groaned and poutingly put her hands over her eyes. I led her out of the car and guided her along the beach. "Okay ready. One. Two. Th-." Before I could finish my countdown she opened her eyes. "Dude, I didn't get to finish counting." I pouting.
"Sorry. She smiled then turned back to the beach. "Mathew, this is amazing." She said hugging me. I brought her to the blanket and sat her down, I however continued to stand. "So what is this about?" She asked.
"Bailey Francesca Westwood. You are a beauty so unknown, you pull me in with your amazing personality without even trying. I have liked you since the moment I laid my eyes on you July Seventh. I was never able to stop thinking about you, and the way you care about everything with a burning passion. You have an amazing heart, and you love so many things; I would like to be one of those things. So what I'm saying, and the reason I brought you here. Well... Bailey will you please be my girlfriend?" I asked hesitantly unsure of what her response would be. Her silence worried me. "I got your dads approval?" I said hoping that would influence her decision in my favor. She giggled a little.
"You asked for my dads approval?" She asked. I nodded. She stood up and took my face in her palms. "That's adorable." She whispered. "Of course I'll be your girlfriend." I let out a huge sigh of relief. "Only if-." Oh shit. "If you um... I want you to ask Ala if it's okay." I gave her a confused look.
"Why would I need Ala's approval she doesn't control my life. Not anymore."
"Because I don't want to date you if she still likes you or if she is just really not okay with it. That would be unfair." Bailey explained and I smiled. She cared so much for everyone, I loved it.
"Anything for you." I agreed, pecking her lips. "Will you be my girlfriend now though? I don't want to wait."
"Sure." She smiled and connected our lips. I don't think I've been this happy in a long time. It felt almost foreign to feel so, alive. And I knew I had to try harder with Bailey. I knew I couldn't be as careless and rebellious as I was with Ala. I had to be more innocent. But it's hard for me to control my own mind. I'll make her go crazy, I have to warn her of that. Because I'm not sure anyone can handle me the way Ala did.
"There is however a liability." I started.
"And what is that?"
"I will drive you insane." I warned.
"I'm positive you will. I'm positive you will drive me to be insanely in love with you. Madly in love."
