Chapter 18

I've found wifi and time so...triple update today! Enjoy!

Matthew's POV:

"Matthew! Matthew! Emergency!" Emily exclaimed frenziedly as she burst into the house out of nowhere, making all of us stare at her like she's mad.

"What do you need Em? Don't pester my boyfriend." Dylan mumbled annoyed as he washed our plates. Ever since that incident, he keeps thinking that everyone who tries to come close are trying to 'steal' me away from him.

"Shut up asshat. It has nothing to do with you. Matthew, come with me." Emily ignored his grumbling as she pulled me into the living room where she sat me down on the sofa.

If I didn't hear wrongly, I heard Caydon asking Dylan what an asshat is. Good luck with explaining that to him Dylan.

"So what's the issue Emily?"

"You know that Valentines Day is coming right?"

"Yeah...so?"

"I want to buy something so can you follow me? I need your opinion."

"Um...okay. When?"

"Now!"

"Now?"

"Yes! Now!" She shot off the sofa quickly before slipping on her killer heels with ease. How the hell does she balance in those?

"Wait! I need to tell-"

"No time! I'll lend you my phone later." Pulling me off the sofa, she pushed me out of the house and into her car without giving me even a second to inform Dylan. At least I still have my wallet with me.

"Let's go in!" Where? Wait. Hell no. No way am I going inside there.

"Nope." That's so my cue to leave.

"Come on Matthew! Don't be such a spoilsport." She tugged on my arm as I continued walking away.

"You can ask one of your girl friends to go with you. No way I'm going in there."

"Pleaseeee? Just for this one time?" She gave me the puppy eyes which had no effect on me. Perks of staying with Caydon for so long.

"Nope. I'm a guy."

"If you're really a guy, man up and follow me in."

"But-" She gave me the death glare making me shut up immediately. "Fine...one hour."

"Okay! Let's go!" She cheered like a high school girl while dragging me into the shop as all eyes fell on us. This is so embarrassing!

After what seemed like an hour or so, she came bouncing back with 4 sets of lingeries in her hand. Oh my goodness...she's so going to ask me to choose.

"Which one should I get? The red or the black? Or should I get the red and black one or the black and gold one?" She held them up casually in front of me, making my cheeks flare up and my gaze to drop to the ground at her bluntness.

"T-The red and the black one looks a-alluring." This is so awkward...

"Great choice! I love that one too! I'm glad I brought you out. Hold this for me. I'll go find some others then we can go for lunch. Think of a place while you're here." Throwing me her chosen set of lingerie, I place them on the seat quickly before darting away from it.

This is so weird. It felt funny in my hands, like I shouldn't have touched it at all.

After an hour later, which has way passed what I've agreed, she finally purchased all her stuff and finally decided that we can finally exit that shop. It was totally giving me goosebumps. You don't know how relaxed I felt once I stepped foot out of that shop. I'm never going in there ever again.

"Do you need help to ca-"

"Nope. I'm an independent woman. So, where should we eat at?" Thank goodness. I don't even want to touch those bags.

"Swensen's?"

"Sure. I love that place."

~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~

"Have you decided what you want?"
"Yup! Waiter!"

"May I have your orders Miss?"

"Can I have one BBQ Chicken, one Rodeo Wings, one Calamari Rings, one Mozzarella Cheese Sticks, one Earthquake and one Cookie Monster? Thanks." She recited her order like a mantra making me and the waiter stare at he with wide eyes. Not because of how fast she said her orders but how much she ordered.


"S-Sure. And for you cutie?" He smiled widely making me uncomfortable.

"I-I...can I have a strawberry milkshake and a Pesto Salmon?"


"Is that all, cutie?"

"Yeah. Thanks a lot."

"No problem." He winked flirtatiously before walking away.

"Did he just tap on you?" Emily gasped in horror as she flipped her hair. "Dylan will go bat shit crazy if he's here."

"I know. Why did you even order so much?! Can you eat finish all of them?"

"Of course....not. That's why we're sharing."

"No no no no. You order, you eat."

"Come on. Sharing is caring."

"Not when you force someone to eat when they're full." She huffed in defeat, crossing her arms while sulking away when she couldn't get her way.

"Fine...I'll just stuff myself until I suffocate and die."

"Okay. I'll ask the staffs to prepare to phone the ambulance."

"You're an ass. I like it. Better than the grouchy old man back in the house."

"He's not that grouchy Em."

"You didn't see him when you're not here. Before you, he's like a grumpy old man like the dwarf in snow white or the character living in the dustbin in sesame street."

"I can imagine. How does your boyfriend look like by the way?"

"Here. Hot isn't he?" She showed me his picture in her phone making me cringe back a little. He seems kinda scary.

Zac Efron as Jackson Constantine ^

"Don't worry. He may seem scary but he's like a teddy bear on the inside." She giggled as she kept her phone back into her pocket. "Oh! Food's here!"

~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~

"Thanks for dropping me back Emily. You staying over tonight?"

"No problem Matt. Nah. I have work waiting for me in the office. Oh ya! For you. Thank me next time. Bye then!" Passing me a paper bag, she waved energetically as she drove away.

Work...should I find an official job? I can't exactly live off Dylan forever.

"I'm back!" I announced loudly but was met with silence instead. Did they go out?

Oh, a note.

Hi Gummy bear, I've brought Caydon out for kite flying as a son and father bonding time. We'll be back before dinner.

~ Dylan
Oh. I should make dinner for them in the meantime I guess. I have nothing to do anyway. By the way, what did she give me?

Opening the bag, I swear my heart stopped beating, my jaw dropped, my eyes popped opened like saucers and my cheeks red like a tomato.

I have to keep this somewhere safe. No way I'm letting anyone find this. No way at all. I'll die ftom the embarrassment before I can even dig a hole to hide myself.
