Hidden Secrets (ON HOLD)

Chapter 8

"Charles.."

"Well well well.. Who's this man?"

"Don't worry about it. What are you doing in my building?" I said stepping out of the elevator into the lobby.

"I'm here to see you babe.. But I see someone else it treating you good?" He said caressing my face. I slapped his hand away.

"Hey don't touch my woman." Matt said angrily. I've never seen him mad before.

Standing chest to chest, Charles and Matt looked into each others faces.

"Or what? What you gonna do pretty boy? Handle me yourself?" Why did Charles have to tempt him. Standing away from them, I decide to go outside.

"Mess with her again, and ill show you your last breath." I hear Matt say as he walks briskly behind me.

I feel the tears form in my eyes. I didn't want to go out anymore, neither did I want to go home. So I sat on the bench, wiping my face.

"Wanna talk about it?" Matt said holding my chin, looking at me. Gosh this man was everything I could ask for. Tonight was his night, and he wanted me to help celebrate. So I got over Charles and what he did.

"No, I don't want you to worry about him. Tonight's your night." I said smiling.

He helped me up, and we walked hand and hand to the limo.

Arriving at the banquet hall

In the limo, we cranked to old jams on the way to our destination. Nothing but a ball of fun, Matt really knew how to make my laugh and smile.

The driver stopped the limo. With the windows tinted, I wasn't sure if we made it or not. The doors open and all I see is paparazzi and red carpet. Matt steps out the limo and then helps me out.

"MATT! Who's the beautiful lady on your arm?!"

"MATT MATT CAN WE GET A COUPLE WORDS OVER HERE?!" We continue forward, ignoring most of the paparazzi.

"MATT IS THAT YOUR BABY MOTHER? IS SHE YOUR NEXT ACCOUNT BREAKER?"

Matt responded "I don't have baby mamas, floaters or any kind of mess."

"So who is she?" Paparazzi asked.

"She's my woman, hopefully she can be my girlfriend one day. Maybe more later in the future." Matt said as we both walked into the banquet lobby. Saying hi to a couple athletes, fans of Matt and others we all waited in the lobby until we could go into the banquet dinning hall.

Curious about Matt's answer to the paparazzi about me, I decided to ask him about it.

"Did you really mean what you said earlier to the paparazzi?" Looking into his eyes.

"More than anything." Things really seemed so sweet. "Is that okay with you? Would you like that Alisha?"

I had to think about it. Is he what I really wanted? To be a football girlfriend, maybe even a wife?

"Yeah I'd like that." Smiling at each other.

"Good," holding my hand. "I want you to be there through the ups and downs. Toe good and bad. I want to get to know you on a deeper level. Physically. Mentally. Maybe even sexually." Smirking at me. " but all together lovingly. I know I can make you happier than ever."

Shedding a tear, ive had so many emotions going on today. Just to hear that makes me sure I can open up to him more. I kissed him slightly.

We went into the banquet hall finally! Old farts would go up and speak, Matt got MVP award, athlete of the decade, VIP player and Most Achieved plaque. After he got his awards, things got pretty boring so we decided to leave this Popsicle Stand. Hopping in a taxi, I told the driver to take us to Central Park.
