Dear Daddy

Chapter 3

His eyes were this hazel blue color that remind me of my childhood best friend and like brother. Dark brown hair was neatly in a ponytail out of his face. Clearly he had be at least 6'0 if not taller. The suit he was wearing was a calming blue. The jacket, vest and tie were the calming blue too. His button up shirt was white. But either way he looked gorgeous.
"Did you hear me?" A voice that sounded irritated asked.
"Uh what?" Way to go dummie! You totally look like an idiot now.
Before I could even blush he began to laugh. Not a quiet laugh either. A booming outloud for everyone to hear laugh.
"Well I ask first if you were okay. Then when you didn't respond I asked if you were in shock from seeing me. After that I asked if you could hear me." Stuff and fluff, dude you need to stop talking. You're embarrassing me even more
I pushed Mr.Unknown away and stabled myself. He was still looking at me almost demanding an answer. The time is I don't even know his name why would he think I did?
"Well Sir,first yes I'm okay. Secondly, why would I be in shock if I don't even know who you are?"
I swear in that moment I thought I screwed up badly. Everyone that was near by heard what I said and gasped as if I just slapped him in the face. Then I thought about his position vs mine. Like he is a higher upper and here I am being sassy. He could fire me in a heartbeat.
"Hello gentlemen!" Another voice sounded through the lobby.
Shit now I'm going to be in trouble, the adult side of me said. Meanwhile the little inside screamed bad word!
"Mr. Simmons it's a pleasure to see you here today. I didn't expect you. But never the less I'm pleased," my big boss said.
My boss is name Bryan Kingsbury. He is a 47 year old that seems to always have a new assistant every six months. The past four months my best friend has been the new flavor. Bryan stood at 6'3 and always smiles like he is happy yet he is an asshole. He is tanned nicely, goldern brown eyes, straight teeth. Yeah he is okay looking but his personality sucks so bad that it ruins everything about him. He has never meet me before so I'm not looking forward to this.
"Uh who are you?" Mr. Kingsbury asked while looking at me.
"Sir, this is Shelby Pate. She works in the IT department as the system analyst," Maria spoke as she came up next to Mr Kingsbury and I.
"Ah, pleasure to meet you Shelby," his eyes began to wonder down my figure giving me a creepy feeling.
"Yes not only is she your IT girl but she is also my girlfriend," the mystery man said while glaring at Mr Kingsbury.
My eyes shot over to him looking at him like he is crazy. Why in the world would he say something like that! When he looked over at me the moment I saw his eyes I decided to keep my mouth shut. It was as if his eyes were begging me to help him.
"Oh! I had no idea Nathan. I'll give you a few minutes until we began the meeting in the conference room," Mr Kingsbury said as he walked over to the other men and heard for the elevator.
Nathan...why does that sound so familiar. .
Maria stood frozen.
"Maria!"
She snapped out of it, took one look at me and ran off towards Byran.
"We my sweet flower need to talk," mystery man said as he dragged me into a empty office.
"First of all I don't even know your name. Secondly why would you say that we were a couple when I have no idea who you are!" I whispered screamed.
"First you do know my name Byran just said it was Nathan. Secondly because I need your help. Please."
"Why me?!"
"Because you remind me of someone I could trust. Someone I use to trust," he said quietly.
"Fine. What do you need help with?"
"I need you to be my fake girlfriend."
"WHAT!" I screamed.
"Listen nothing will happen between us. I'm gay. But everyone expects me to be straight so until I feel comfortable coming out will you please be my girlfriend?"
"I'll agree if you tell me who I remind you of."
"Deal. You remind me of you Shelley," he said. I frozen.
How does he know my nickname?
Slowly I turn to look at him. The moment he began to smile I started to tear up.
"Matty?" I whispered.
"Oh thank God you remember me! That would be awkward if you didn't."
"But you said your name is--"
"Yes my new name. Well not new new. New to you yes. New to me nope. After I got adopted, my parents asked if there was anything I wanted. And I choose changing my first name and of course taking their last name," he makes a trumpet sound. "That's how I ended up with Nathan Simmons."
I couldn't believe it. My childhood best friend and brother from another mother was standing before me. In seconds I was pulling him into a hug.
We stand like that for a few minutes. Just soaking in the memories and the pain we both went through in those foster homes.
"So after my meeting, lunch my treat. And then after you get off we are doing something fun." He didn't even give me a minute to reply before waking out of the office room.
Yup he is definitely Matty.
