Other Side Of Love

15. Tolerate

The whole auditorium was now crowded. The guests started arriving but I could see Matthew no where. Well I even don't want him to see me or else I will have to tell my shitty secret to Kiara.

"Diana!! Matthew is calling you." A girl said me.

"Calling me?" I asked in a terrified voice.

"Obviously you! You are his assistant and already you are late man go hurry"

"Yes yes I am going."

My gown was touching the floor so I had to pick it up every time I get hassled up with it. I found Matthew talking with the other volunteers. He was all suited up. I never seen him in a formal wear before. He kept his coat aside as it was hot here and folded up his sleeves that made him look more attractive. I was so busy seeing him that I didn't even realise when my gown got tied up with the wires of the camera which were being kept for the recording of the performances. I turned back and started to untie it.

"Hey what are you upto?" Matthew asked without knowing that it was actually me as he couldn't see my face.

"My gown got tied up. Just help me out please." I said.

"Okay you stand straight. I will fix it."

He knelt down and in a decent way he was fixing my dress. I put my hands over his shoulder for a support to stand. And finally it was all done. My dress was untied from the wire. He still doesn't know that it was me whose dress he was fixing. He stood up and finally our eyes met. He couldn't get his eyes off me. He stared at me for a while.

"I knew it was you. Only you could do such mess every time you go anywhere." He laughed saying so.

Again. I thought of getting some compliment but again he said his usual stupid lines.

"You know everything right? Then just tell me please when will this function end?"

"Why?"

"Because I literally can't tolerate you anymore."

"Then learn to tolerate."

"Yes I guess I will have to learn to tolerate you for the future 6 hours in this function." I grinned.

"For future days I guess." He sighed.

Seriously man!! Matthew is attracted to me. I could feel in his words that he is hinting something. And today it was on a different level. Though he silently said the previous sentence but I could hear him.

"Sorry?"

"Well nothing."

"You said something Matthew"

"Yes I said you are looking beautiful today. The gown seems like is made only for you. The curls in your hairs are perfect."
