Forbidden Love

Ch. 13

Matthew

"Oh Matthew I really wish you were going to the dance with someone. Such a fine boy like you shouldn't be going alone."

"Mom, calm down. It's fine."

"Oh alright. Let me get take this last picture."

I had a fresh cut with a slick black Steve Harvey suit on with a fuchsia tie and handkerchief in my chest pocket with a black diamond stud in my ear. Damn I'm fresh. I took this last picture for my mom and hopped in my camero and drove to the high school.

Rebecca

"Oh baby girl you are so beautiful!"my dad exclaimed. "Any man would be dumb to pass you up."

"Oh please, you probably would've chased them away."

He chuckled. "You're probably right."

"Oooh baby let me get a picture!"my moma said coming into the living room with a camera with my siblings following behind her.

"Doesn't your sister look gorgeous!"

"She look like over a grown barbie with all that pink on."my little bother and yes I mean bother said.

"Come here!"I said jerking him into my arms and kissing his face repeatedly.

"Ma!!!! Get cho daughter!"

"Aww how cute!" FLASH.

"Dang you gone blind us all!"he winced from the pain in his eyes.

I let him go and reapplied the lip gloss that put on his face. "You guys I gotta go, see you in the morning."I kissed my family on the cheek and hopped in my car.

Matthew

"Aye man wassup. Came alone?"one of the players asked dapping me up.

" Naw man. Date just running late."

"Iight. See you inside."

Where the hell can Rebecca be? "Hi Matthew, let me know if you're leaving alone."a cheerleader said passing me with a wink.

I shook my head and scanned the parking lot and spotted Rebecca's car off in the distance. Thank God. I walked over and knocked on her window.

"Rebecca what's taking you so long?" I asked once she rolled the window down.

"I'm scared."

"Of what?"

"What will people think of me? Of us?"

"Who cares?"

"I do!"

"Rebecca, it don't matter what them people say. It's just you and me remember."

She nodded her head. "Now get yo sexy ass out here."

My dark chocolate goddess stepped out her car rockin her fuchsia dress. I remember the day we got it.

"Matthew help me!"

"Bae, I think you'll look good in everything. Can you just pick something so we can go."

"It's not that simple!"She snapped.

I held my hands up in surrender. "My bad, damn. Why girls gotta be so crazy when it come to picking out a dress?"

"Because the color has to match your skin complexion, it has to accommodate to your body type, and it has to be the best of the best! Can't be walkin in with the same dress as somebody else."

I stared at her blankly. "I'm sorry, were you talking?"

"Ugh! Just hold these!"

She handed me racks of dresses and turned towards the dressing room and froze. "Shit. Shit. Shit."She whispered.

"Why? What's wrong?"I looked in that direction and saw a few people from school.

"Rebecca it's-" Where did she go?

"Oh Matthew, I didn't think to find you here." One of the girls said.

Her friends were behind her giggling from my current situation. "Uh-uh this isn't what it looks like! My mom had me uh come look at some dresses for my sister."

"But you're an only child right?"She smirked.

Shit. "It's um actually my cousin. We're just so close you know? We just call each other brother and sister."

"Uh huh. I see. Still don't have a date to homecoming?"

I do. "Naw I don't."

"Mhm. Call me."She winked.

Once the girls were gone and out of sight Rebecca reappeared. "Oh you so owe me."

"Whatever. What guy doesn't want girls drooling over him like they were?"

"The kind that has an amazing girl right here."I said kissing her cheek.

"Thank you baby."

"Now come on. Let's find your dress."I said giving her ass a smack.

Her dress was fuchsia with a sweetheart neckline, it flared out at the bottom like a Cinderella gown and decorated in stones. I think I described it right.

She took a deep breath and I took her hand in mines. "It's gonna be fine."I said pecking her lips. "Trust me?"

She nodded her head 'yes'.

I gave her a lil push and we strutted in.
