Matthews P.O.V
As Ali and I stepped into the store, we told the lady at the desk our names, and she led us towards two open seats. Ali saw the aprons hooked onto the wall for the customers to wear. She grabbed two from the wall and handed one to me. I looked around the room and noticed there were other people wearing aprons and also waiting for the class to start. As I looked at the paintings that hung on the wall, I still could not place why this store was so familiar.
In the front of the room there was a small stage that was made for the instructor. It had one big blank canvas and everything else a painter needed. I have never been here before, and even though the apartment building is not far from here; I still don’t remember seeing this place. I started thinking to myself, maybe this was one of those moments when people get déjà vu. I turned towards my side and looked at Ali.
Matthew P.O.V“This was a long time ago, so I won’t blame you if you do not remember,” Cassie said to me before she continued on with her story.“Okay,” was all I replied, while I waited for her to speak.“Two years ago, my little brother got sick and needed a heart transplant.” We didn’t have the money for the transplant, even though we did have health insurance.”“Health insurance can help, but not almost all the time.” Ali mumbled sadly.Cassie nodded “and we were praying that somehow, we’d get help raising the money for it. Both my mother and my father did overtime at work, just so that we could make more money in order to pay for the heart transplant. I was still attending college at the time, so I decided to work a part time job; hoping it wil
Ali’s P.O.VWhen Will arrived, Matthew opened the car door for me and closed the door behind him, after he got in the car. Will smiled at me in greeting and waited for his boss to tell him where to go.“Where to now sir?” said Will, as his hands were on the wheel, ready to head to our next destination.Matthew looked at me “Are you hungry?”I nodded my head in reply to his question. On cue, my stomach started growling when he mentioned the word hungry. I forgot to eat breakfast, because I was to excited for this date. Matthew chuckled as my cheeks turned a bit red from the embarrassment.Matthew looked at Will “We’ll eat at Lia’s,” then turned his attention to me. “Is that okay?”I nodded my head at his question. I really did enjoy eati
Matthew P.O.VIt was him, I thought to myself.The adorable little boy before me, that looked to be around the same age as Dina, was none other than Adam. The same little boy that was in the children’s hospital and shared the same hospital room as Ruby two years ago. He had a black backpack, wore a black and white t-shirt; with jeans, and black shoes. He had those same green eyes and dirty blonde hair; the only difference was that he was a bit taller and missing two front teeth. I looked at the little boy with both surprise and happiness. I didn’t realize Dina knew him, also I didn’t realize that Dina had friends. I had hoped she did, but didn’t think she did. She never talked about them when I babysat her a while ago, or was around her overall.I bent down, eye level to the little boy, and extended my hand out in g
Matthew’s P.O.VWhen we finally reached the store. I opened the car door and stepped out. Holding it open for Ali to get out. When Ali got out of the car, I walked towards the driver’s window and instructed Will to stay nearby. He nodded in reply to my instructions and drove off. I know my aunt, and she is going to be shocked when she sees Ali. When she sees Ali, she is going to have so much questions to ask and I wouldn’t be shocked if she ends up calling my mother, to tell her about Ali. I have never brought any woman to see her before, so this will be the first time.Ali had a nervous look on her face. I smiled when I noticed the look on her face, finding it adorable how nervous she looked. She had no idea that Madam Lavu is my mother’s sister; so, Ali is going to be in for a surprise when she finds out. I grabbed Ali’s h
Matthew P.O.VRight now, Ali was in the dressing room, and trying out one of the dresses my aunt chose for her. There were many that my aunt picked and a lot of them were very beautiful. I am sure that they’d look even better on Ali and my aunt said the same, when she saw how nervous Ali was to try them on. She was very kind to Ali when she assured Ali that it would beautiful on her and how the dress was practically made for her and that it was fate for her to wear one of them. That part is just my aunt being dramatic, but I agree none the less.“I can’t believe you would do this to me Matty,” scolded my aunt.To my mom and Aunt, I was always called Matty. It’s just a nickname that stuck ever since I was a child. I’ve tried getting them to call me by my full name when I became older, but they refused and have ignored my constant demand. To
Matthew P.O.V“How do you feel about it?” I asked Ali.She walked towards the floor to ceiling mirror on the wall and gasped when she saw herself.“This is the one,” she said with tears in her eyes. She then turned towards my aunt and I. “Thank you so much.”My aunt stepped forwards and hugged Ali “My pleasure.”I then turned towards my aunt, “You can just send me the bill and I’ll take care of it.”She immediately shook her head “No, absolutely not. This is on the house. I am not going to allow you to pay for this.” She then turned towards Ali “Think of this as a ‘nice to meet you gift,’ from me to you.”Ali chuckled a bit with her teary eyes, then gestured towards the beauti
Matthew P.O.V“Matthew honey, why aren’t you eating your food?” asked my mother.Right now, I was currently eating dinner with my mother at my house. Ever since I left Ali’s place, I couldn’t stop thinking about the kiss. I couldn’t stop thinking about it so much, that I almost forgot about the dinner I had with my mother tonight. I was about to head back to my apartment room in the apartment building, but stopped when I suddenly remembered about tonight’s dinner.I still haven’t told my mom about Ali, and I rather be finished with my food before I do. I know that once I tell my mother about Ali, she is going to have so much questions, that I won’t be able to finish my food in peace. I really am surprised that my aunt Lavu didn’t tell my mother about Ali as soon as we left.I need to rem
Madam Lavu P.O.VI picked up my office phone and called Daisy, “Daisy I’m ready to leave, can you have my driver bring the car around,”“Yes madam,” said Daisy, before I cut the call.Today was such a great day, and it was all because of Ali. She is finally the answer to Maria and I’s prayer. Maria and I have tried countless of times, to match Matty up with women, hoping they would catch his eye. That way he will get married to one of them and eventually have babies together. Then I would be truly happy when that happens. It was silly of me to automatically assume that they were getting married, when I saw her. I chalk it up to me getting my hopes up. I was greatly sad when he said they were not getting married. What I am glad about though, is the fact that Matthew did
