An hour after the coffee shop accident there’s a knock on my door, I go and look though the peep hole and see Scarlett standing there. I open the door to see her smile widen. She walks right past me into my apartment.
“Come on in then” I call sarcastically after her.
“I like what you have done with the place” the smile stays on her face until the reason why she came over catches up with her. Questions then fly at me from all directions, too fast for me to answer all of them. “Why did you run off? Do you know Matthew? Are you okay?” I take a deep breath and sit on my sofa.
I start answering the main ones “I’m fine and yes I do know Matthew it been a very long time since we last met” I get the look from her telling me to spill. I then tell her the entire story and when I finished she looked at me and burst out laughing; she received a scowl from me.
When she’s finally calmed down from laughing. “You’ve keep a grudge all this time?” she asked astonished and I nod “Bitch I don’t want to mess with you, but why 15 years? Because he stole your first kiss?” I stay silent a bit longer
“I seriously don’t want to talk to him even if it was 15 year ago, he ruined my first ever kiss and he has pissed me off ever since so yeah I’ve held a grudge as I’ve build a lot of hatred against him.”
“But you were both young you can’t hold a grudge against him forever he is a really nice guy. It’s been 15 years you’ve both changed give him a chance, you might actually get along with him and end up liking him” she had a fair point it was a long time ago but I still change forgive and forget especially the forget part, that’s not going to happen overnight. But the only thing is that I don’t want to talk to him or see him for a matter-of-fact. Why does life have to be so hard?! “Talk to him; on the phone or in person I don’t care he obviously kind of remembers you and he even went after you when you ran off” I apologised again for what happened before she went back home. I then got the balls to knock on their door and asked Scarlett for his number and address, he seemed very overwhelmed that I asked and invited me in for dinner as they were getting takeout. After dinner I headed home and decided that I needed to call him. I picked up the phone and dialled his mobile, on the second ring someone answered and I was stunned, he still had the same voice but his pitch has lowered. I decided in my head that he needed to come over so I could talk to him properly. “Hi Matt it’s me I know this I weird after all these years and that it is quiet cliché that I move and my neighbours are related to you. I’m sorry for running away earlier but you surprised me and scared me shitless, you’ve pissed me off since the day you kissed m-” I was cut off from my little speech when Matt finally spoke.
“Mia it really is you, I thought I recognised you earlier but I couldn’t remember where and when, it all clicks now and I understand why you ran and why you were pissed at me but seriously you’ve held a grudge against me for 15 years?”
That was perfect timing when Scarlett Barges in as I was in such a hurry to call Matt that I forgot to close the door until it latches.
“Sorry honey I gave you the wrong address” she yells then sees me and mouths a ‘sorry’ I nod back as an reply and give her the notepad back to correct the address.
“You asked for my address and phone number someone’s eager” I blush at his comment and that he heard that I had asked for his detail, well we all know he heard loud and clear thanks to Scarlett.
“Yeah I needed to apologise for earlier and we need to talk. Do you want to come over and talk about it?” I can hear him breathing on the other end of the phone before he answers with a yes. “Bring wine as all I have is water and it needs to be filtered” a deep laugh comes though the phone, it’s all it takes for me to get Goosebumps, his laugh is very masculine and quiet sexy. Wait did I just link the word sexy with matt? I’m going mental!
Not long later the doorbell rings and I go to open it, I’ve changed since earlier to different clothes, I didn’t dress up for him but I got into more comfy clothing to benefit me. He’s standing there with every bit of him perfection, we both analyse each other and I open the door wider as a gesture him to come in, I close the door, turn around and 2 bottles of nice wine is right in front of my face. I accept them with a thanks and go into the kitchen to collect 2 wine glasses and a cork screw, looking at the wines they look quite expensive so I take extra care with them, putting one in the fridge to keep it cold. I walk into the living space (as it is open plan living) with the wine and glasses in hand and place them on top of the coffee table. I gesture for him to sit down and we sit there looking at each other and then our eyes make contact again and all my thoughts are lost. We are like this for a while until I drop the eye contact “Did you want some wine?” I ask politely playing the part of a hostess. I receive another nod and attempt to uncork bottle, of course I fail miserably and he sees this and steps into help. He easily uncorks it and pours us both a glass of wine, it smells heavenly as I take one of the glasses and take a sip, the smooth liquid slips down my throat and a small moan escapes my lips. I blush as embarrassment takes over and I take a gulp of wine I eventually look over at Matt and his glass is empty, so it’s not just me who’s nervous, I down the rest of the wine and reach over for the bottle but he stops me and pours us both another drink.
Half way through our second glass conversation has started finally and I’m glad it has. We catch each other up and I forgive him for 15 years ago and I get the other half of the story on why he left so soon after he kissed me. We then talked about our lives, friends and family and joking around, he seems like a total bad boy/player but a nice charming one (if that makes sense). We finished the 1st bottle of wine and I could start feelings its affect I was less nervous than when he turned up but I went to fetch the other one from the fridge, I brought it back to the living room and put on the table. “Would you do the honours?”
He leant over with a cocky grin and replied with a snarky comment “If only you do them first” he then wiggled his eye brows and I slapped his chest that was a wall of hard muscle, he then grabbed the corkscrew to undo the bottle, again poured us both a glass and as I take another sip I moan again as I love cold wine and blush “You know I could make you moan loader than that, you want to find out?” he suggested with a wiggle of eyes brows and placed a sexy smirk on his face. (Definitely feeling the wine doing its thing when I find that hilarious and burst out giggling, but these are giggles that rocket shake my body and I can’t get them to stop) every time he tried to stop my giggles it just makes me giggle even more, my stomach is starting to hurt from all the laughing. “I know a solution to stop giggles and it is 100% affective, do you want me to try it out on you?” I nod as I can’t possibly speak a word though my hysterics.
That’s when I realised I’ve made an mistake, I turn to look at Matt and the glint in his eyes make my giggles die down a bit but not all the way, his head started descending towards mine so I panic and the first thing I do is chug my wine but that doesn’t help the giggles or the situation. I look back at Matt and his eyes flicker down to my lips he starts towards me again until our lips are touching. That’s when the wine took over my brain and how we made it into my bedroom, in my bed, and how we fell asleep entwined in each other.
