The One That Got Away

see you

Arthur's POV

I walked outside my hotel and walked down to the parliament building which was next to the inner harbour. I sighed yesterday was great fun but today was boring, I had a lot of work to do but now I have some free time to go find a good restaurant. My phone rang and I picked it up

"hello?"I asked

"hey Arthur its me Alfred from the other day"I heard the cheerful voice of Alfred

"Alfred?"I asked

"wait don't tell me you forgot about me already!!"he said it sounded like he was pouting 

"I didn't forget, I was just surprised to hear from you!"I said and he sighed

"well hey how are you doing?"he asked

"good thanks, I was wondering do you know any places that are good for dinner!?"I asked 

"well yeah i'm good too"Alfred said

"oh sorry"I said and he laughed 

"its okay just messing with you, well if your around the James Bay area you could could over to My brothers house he lives on the corner of Government and Toronto"Alfred said and I looked and I saw I was on Government St.

"sure i'm staying at the James Bay Inn"I said

"well thats a two minutes walk from there so see you in?"

"around 5 to 10 minutes"I said turning around to walk up the street.

"okay see you then I will be waiting outside!"he said and hang up. I never knew I would already make a friend and be going to his house for dinner! I surely hope he isn't a murderer.

Alfred's POV

"OMG he is coming over what do we do!?!"I yelled running through the house 

"calm down Alfred"Matt said 

"but I ca-"I slipped and fell on the floor "OWW"I said 

"I told you, Alfred you get your shoes on and go wait and try to clam down and I will prepare dinner and the table okay?" I nodded and got up and got my shoes on and went outside. I waited and waited forever I looked at my phone it has been 4 minutes since our call ended. I sat on the steps and checked my phone every ten seconds. Why did I like his guy so much, I am such an anxious person who is really annoying. I sighed and looked up at the sky and took a deep breath in and then a deep breath out. 

"hello Again!"I heard a english accent and my head shot up and saw Arthur 

"hey Arthur how are you?"I asked and he opened the gate to the house 

"great thanks for asking so this is your brothers house, how old is he again?"Arthur asked

"22 graduated this years so proud!! so I came down to celebrate with him"I said as we walked inside

"wow it looks smaller on the outside!"Arthur said and I sighed 

"well it has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms so its pretty big"I said and he looked around.

"how did he get this money??"

"ahh well because-"

"hello i'm Matthew"Matt came into the room 

"Matthew? as in Matthew Williams??"Arthur asked 

"yeah thats me"Matt said

"its mee mr.Kirkland I was your English teacher for a year"he said

Arthur's POV

I can't believe that Matthew is this guys younger brother

"Mr.Kirkland omg it is you, I thought you went back to England!"Matthew said 

"well I did but I have to stay here because of my business partner is coming over to move back here"I said and and we started to walk towards the kitchen

"umm i'm still here"Alfred yelled as we turned around and Matthew started to laugh 

"sorry its just this is the teacher I told you about that was the reason I have such great grades now"Matthew said I smiled

"that was all you not me"I said patting him on the shoulder

"how old are you!?"Alfred asked

"oh just turned 28 April 23rd"I said and Alfred sighed in relief

"okay I thought for a second you were like 50 or in your middle 40s"Alfred said

"are you saying I look like that!?!"I asked

"NO NO NO its just you being a teacher it was my first thought!!!"he said waving his hands around in circles 

"its okay after I graduated university of the fine arts in writing my friend asked me if he would like to take after a class while the teacher was away for the year and I agreed"I said and Matthew nodded

"yep and I was in his class, it was awesome we had some great laughs"Matthew said as he walked into the kitchen and Alfred showed me the couch.

"well thats cool, now how have you been?"Alfred said

"sorry its just haven't seen your brother in a long time"I said and I sat down "great checked in to the James Bay Inn and its not even two minutes away and had a video call with the same French Frog that gave me the job at your brothers school"I said

"really he is your business partner!?"Matthew asked and I nodded

"you mean the one in this picture?"Alfred pulled out his phone and showed me a picture I took a year ago in France 

"yep"I nodded and then realized "wait have you been stalking me on social media!??"I asked

"he means well, he is just a little weird when it comes to other people"Matthew yelled into the living room

"how about you shut it and do the cooking!"Alfred yelled this was going to be a great night.
