Scared Love

Chapter 12

I open my eyes. I use my elbows to prompt myself up. I look around and find Matt fixing his tie on the full view mirror. He somehow notices that I'm awake and turns.

"Morning." he simply says.  His facial expressions confuses me. He looks cold but not the cold he usually is. I glance at the time.  What?

"Why didn't my alarm ring?" I ask Matt. "It did but I switched it off." he says. "Why?" I ask.

He takes a deep breath before answering. "Because you looked to peaceful and I couldn't bring myself to wake you up ." he says and his words leave me speechless. That's really nice of him but I'm going to be late.  I get out of bed and rush to get ready for work. 

"I'm done." I tell Matt as soon as I enter the kitchen. His eyes rake down my body and back to my face. "Uhm..yeah let's go." he says. 

"I'm so late." I groan as Matt sits next to me in the car. "You are practically married to your boss, you know that right?" Matt says. "Yeah I do but that doesn't mean I have to take advantage of that. Your mum will fire me if she knows that I'm late and I don't want that." I whine. "Don't worry she adores you." he says. 

Matt has been in his office since we got here. I'm so hungry but I don't want to go to the cafeteria by myself. I have been signing papers since morning.  Matt hasn't ordered coffee or anything.  We haven't spoken and it's killing me.  His silence is killing me. I don't know why I  still had hopes that he would change after last night. 

Maybe he still pity's you.  My subconscious finds her way in my head. 

Or maybe he's just busy with work. I fire back. 

" Earth to Rosella." I look up and find a familiar warm smile.  " Hi Alex.  Sorry did you say something?" I smile. "Good morning Rosella. It's nothing important."

"So what brings you here?"

"Thought I could visit my new friend."

"That's really sweet of you,the thought of visiting me and also considering me as your friend. " I flush.

"No problem Rose.  I was also wondering if you wanted to have lunch together if that's okay and you are not busy?" he nervously asks.  "I would love to Alex."

I grab my phone and we walk into the elevator. He places a plate with muffins and a cup of coffee in front of me. I thank him.

" So how is it?" I swallow a bite of my muffin before answering. " It's okay. I haven't really seen the place though."

" I can give you a tour if you want." he smiles.

He's such a sweet guy. I accept his offer and we laugh for the rest of the lunch break.  He offers to walk me to my office and we bid our goodbyes.

Did I tell you that those nosy ladies were there.

As soon as I sit down, the land-line rings. I pick it up. 

"Office now," he growls. I instantly rush to his office and knocking.

"Where were you?" he turns to face me. "Lunch break," I scratch the back of my ankle. 

Yes I am nervous and I don't know why. I haven't seen him since we got her and he looks angry. Is that a valid reason why I am nervous?  Maybe.

" Lunch break ended five minutes ago. Next time don't be late. I need you to prepare the board room and I'm sure you know why since you are my assistant." he waves his hand in dismissal. 

Does he have a meeting? I didn't check his schedule today.  I grab my notepad to check. No, how? He has one meeting today and it's starting in less than thirty minutes. I quickly set up the boardroom and by the time I'm done the guy meeting up with Matt is here.

It's been an hour since they have been in that room. Why does discussing about a perfume take a whole hour. I start scrolling through social media on my phone.

Who in the world buys a box of chocolates and melts it just to mix with a tube of toothpaste just to see the end results? Social media has the weirdest things I have...

Matt walks out with the guy who I heard being called Mr Dawn. They chat for a while before walking away. "Hey Mr Walker," he calls from the elevator. "You should join my anniversary party tomorrow night. You and your assistant,"

"We would love to, see you then Mr Dawn." with that being said he walks back to his office.

....

"Hey Elle?" I look up from my laptop. "What's wrong? " I frown. "I'm meeting up with a friend of mine and I don't know if you want to come or not? "

Wow

Is thee Matthew Walker asking me to go with him meet up with his friend? No demanding or shouting but asking literally asking.

"Yeah sure," I starting packing up my bag. We go downstairs, everyone is gone by now and it's dark outside. Matt opens the door and I get in as he walks to the drivers side and gets in.

We sit quietly listening to the radio. Matt turns off the engine in front of a club. He gets out the car and I do the same.

His hand goes on my lower back leading the way and I instantly feel shivers.

Why does his touch affect me so much?

We walk over to the VIP section and there's a guy sitting there. He looks familiar, he must have been at the wedding. His eye brows frown in confusion at the sight of Matt and I  but quickly changes to a smile.

"Mathew, my man," he stands and they shake hands and bro hug. "Ah well well, if it isn't the wife," he turns to me. Panic crawls it's way up.

Does he know the truth? Did Matt tell him or it's acting time?

He continues." My ears are bleeding from hearing about you all the time. He can't fucking shut up about you."

What? Matt talks about me.  I look at Matt and he is smirking clearly amused about this. "What?" shock visible. The guy starts laughing and I look at Matt trying to figure out what's going on.

" He's playing you, Ella, he knows about everything," Matt explains.

"I'm sorry I just found it amusing," Matt friend says trying to catch his breath after frantically laughing. Matt sits and I join him.

" Rosella this is my friend Kyle, he was at the wedding ...Kyle I'm sure you know her," Matt introduces us.

"Nice to meet you Kyle, " I smile. " Nice to meet you too Rosella. Anyhow what can I get for you?" I look over Matt.  I don't know if I am supposed to be drinking but one glass wouldn't kill right? "Cocktail please,"

"Whiskey," Kyle leaves to go to the bar. I look at Matt and follow where his attention is. My eyes land on a curvy woman dancing. She has big boobs and all. She's every man's dream including my own husband. I mean  just look at me, small boobs not big not too small, with small curves and small waist. Makes sense right? 

"Thanks," I take my cocktail.

I've been sitting here for the past two hours with the two men engrossed in a conversation that I haven't been paying attention to. I'm on my third glass of cocktail by now. Everything is spinning and I feel all fuzzy. I know I said one glass but it's not like a guy is going to come and sexually harass me when I am sitting besides two incredibly handsome and sexy men. Goddamn Alcohol. My favorite song starts playing and I'm so tempted to stand up and hit the dance floor. My leg starts tapping on the ground following the beat.

"Why don't you go and dance?" Matt asks.

" I couldn't,"

" You could. It seems to be your song. Just saying." I look at the dance floor. He's right it is my favorite song. I get up and take a deep breath before walking to the dance floor. Is it weird to be nervous when walking to a dance floor in a club? Probably not.
