Matthew P.O.V
“Good morning!” I said to a maid with a chip in my step, as I came down the staircase.
“Good morning sir,” replied one of the startled house maids.
She was so surprised to see me, due to the fact that I usually wake up late and someone always has to give me a wakeup call. She was so surprised to the point, where she almost bumped into an expensive vase behind her.
I was about to walk towards the kitchen to see what the chief made for breakfast, but stopped when I heard the sound of someone knocking on the front door of my house. I wasn’t expecting anyone, so I wonder who this could be.Knock!
Knock!
Knock!
My maid was about to walk towards the door, but
Ali’s P.O.V“Pssst.” whispered a tiny voice.I ignored it, hoping it would go away.“Pssst.” Said the tiny voice getting louder.This time, it was closer to my ear. I stayed quiet and again hoped it would go away.“Aliiiiiii,” now the voice was whining, and shaking my shoulder a bit.I groaned “Not again” and turned over, my back towards the culprit. “Wake up. I am going to be late to school,” Groaned the voice.I woke up when I realized it was Dina’s voice. I forgot that I had to take her to school again. I was lucky I was not late, when I dropped her off at school yesterday. I could have sworn I set an alarm last night. Then again, I
Maria P.O.VI was so excited to see the woman that was finally able to win my son over. I am so happy; I could scream with joy. I genuinely do not care that she is his P.A, and if anyone else does; then they can just close their eyes. I was never a patient woman, and my son was an adorable fool, to think that I would wait till the fundraiser to see this woman. As soon as I got home last night, I had my people find out her address and text it to my driver, that way he can take me to see her in the morning.When we finally reached the apartment building. My driver stepped out of the car and opened the car door for me. I stepped out and instructed him to wait nearby; He nodded in reply to my instructions. I walked inside the apartment building and towards the elevator. I pressed the up button, and waited for the elevator to arrive. After that, I pulled out my phone to call my son. I can’t wait to
Matthew P.O.VI immediately pulled out my phone and called Will “Have the car pulled to the front of the house in ten minutes. Do not get out of the car. I am going to change, and then we are heading straight to Ali’s apartment.”My mother can be so frustrating to deal with sometimes. I do not know how my father was able to handle her. She was a handful but I guess love does that to a person. I suddenly smiled to myself, when I realize that Ali is the exact same way. She genuinely is a handful sometimes, with her attitude, but I love her nonetheless. I would not want her any other way. She challenges me, and makes me laugh and smile.Damn, I love this woman, I thought to myself with a smile.After hanging up the phone, I quickly called my mother back.Ring!
Maria P.O.VAli looked at me with a thankful expression, as we walked back towards the car to leave; after dropping Dina off at the school “Thank you for helping me take Dina to school Mrs. Day.”I waved my hand dismissingly, then showed a genuine smile on my face “Call me Maria; Also, it was my pleasure. I am very happy to help.”Ali smiled then her face looked curious “I do not mean to sound disrespectful, but may I ask what brought on the surprise visit this morning?”I looked down at my outfit and dusted off the nonexistent lint, then gave a smile that was on the verge of secrecy.I grabbed her hand “I have heard a lot about you from my son. I loved everything he said about you so much, that I wanted to come and meet you myself.”She looked touched “Thank you for saying that, considering the fact that you have never met me before.” She gave a small chuckle “I hope he said all good things about you.”I laughed and nodded my head “Absolutely all good things.” When we got back to th
Dillion’s P.O.VSo, this is Matthew’s mom, I thought to myself with surprise.I watched as Matthew walked towards Ali’s room, leaving his mother and I in the living room. Matthew’s mother smiled at me and walked towards me. She than plopped down on the couch, sitting beside me. She did not look sad at all, from doing what she did. She looked like a sweet woman. Looking at her, I could see the resemblance between her and Matthew.She stuck out her hand to introduce herself “Hello! My name is Maria.”I smiled and shook her hand “Hi Mrs. Day, my name is Dillion.”She waved her hand, “Please call me Maria,” Then noticed my leg wrapped in the cast, and asked “May I ask what happened to your leg?”I nodded my head and then repl
Matthew P.O.VAfter my mother and I exited the building I told her driver to take her to my house and had will take me to mine. When we got there, I gave my mother an earful. Of course, I did not shout at her; I just listed the amount of times, she crossed the line and repeated what I would do if she pulled another stunt like this again. She rolled her eyes multiple times, but again promised that she would not pull another stunt like this again.When she left, I walked to my office and got some work done until it was time to leave the house and head back to Ali’s place. When it was time to get ready, I headed back up to my bathroom and jumped into the shower. After I finished, I walked to my room and opened the doors to my closet. The black tuxedo from my aunt was hung on the rack and ready for me to wear. I smiled to myself when I noticed the small detail, she had included in the tuxedo. The
Ali’s P.O.VWhen we got there, everyone was all seated at their tables. Matthew pulled a chair open for Dillion and I. Dina did not need her chair pulled for her, because as soon as she saw Kyle, she almost ran to the table, to sit next to him. Zack and Kyle were sitting next to their mother. I knew everyone at the table, except the man sitting next to Sam and her sons. Maria, and Madam Lavu were sitting next to Mikey on the opposite side of the table.Sam left the table when it was time to give a speech, followed by a few children that fully recovered from their illnesses, because of the money that was donated for the kids. After the kids were done speaking, a video was projected onto a huge screen. A lot of the kids had incredible stories, and I caught myself shedding a tear here and there. I had to remind myself that I had mascara on, and that If I kept crying, then it would be ruined. Maki
Zack P.O.VI pleaded to Dina as she was shaking uncontrollably on the floor “Please wake up.”I regret asking her to come with Kyle and I to look play around the hotel. I was scared and but tried my best to stay calm. The last thing I need to do, is to freak out, because that wouldn’t make the situation better. What gave me a bit of comfort was remembering an episode about a epileptic patient, on a TV show I used to watch. I wasn’t sure if it was the right thing to do, but I started to do everything the actor on the TV did.The doctor turned her to her side, and quickly remembering that; I turned Dina to her side, that way she doesn’t bite her tongue. I slightly pushed the table that was near Dina, to the side, making sure to clear out the area. I then took off my small blazer and put it underneath her head. After I did that, I pulled out my pho

Matthew P.O.V(Seven years later) “Daddy do you think this looks pretty? asked Anastasia.I looked up from the paper on my desk in front up me and turned my attention towards my five-year-old daughter. She looked just liked her mother, with her long dark brown wavy hair and big dark brown eyes. She smiled and tilted her head, patiently waiting for my answer as she showed me the blue headband in her hand and the blue dress she was currently wearing.I put down my pen and stood up from my chair and walked around my desk, and towards my daughter. I bent down at eye level and smiled at her. She was a surprise that was fully welcomed the day, Ali and I realized that Ali was pregnant. My mother and Aunt were ecstatic when we told them Ali was pregnant.“Of course!” I said as I grabbed th
ALI’s P.O.V“Okay, now put this back on,” Matthew said to me as he handed me back the black tie. I sighed and raised my eyebrows “Is this really necessary? I mean, I already know we are going to see your mother.”If I had never met Maria two days ago, I would have been really nervous; but after seeing her and seeing the kind of person she is; I felt sort of comfortable around her. I can’t say that I am fully comfortable, because I do not know her completely. In conclusion, I just hope that she really is okay with me and her son being together.Matthew laughed and replied “I was just kidding Ali.”My mouth formed into an ‘O’ and I nodded my head. I then grabbed the black tie and tied it around my eyes. This time
Matthew’s P.O.V“Okay, now put this back on,” I said to Ali as I handed her back the black tie.She sighed and raised her eyebrow “Is this really necessary? I mean, I already know we are going to see your mother.”I laughed “I was just kidding Ali.”Her mouth formed into an ‘O’ and she nodded her head. Then grabbed the black tie and tied it around her eyes. Thankfully this time, she did not ask any questions and instead stayed quiet and patient. I scooted her beside me, interlacing my hands with hers. I saw her lips form a smile and I could not help but smile with her. Every time I put I a smile on her face, it puts a smile on mine.“We’re here sir,” said Will.We drove up to a big warehouse, that I recently bought, just for today
Matthew’s P.O.VAli picked up the phone and greeted with annoyance “Hello?”I was irritated with the interruption; I was close to getting my answer from her. I am eager to know what she is going to say. I feel like she is going to say yes, because she has told me she loves me, but then again; some small part of me worries that she will change her mind. Sometimes woman are fickle sometimes.Ali rolled her eyes and quickly shut her phone and pouted at me “It was a freaking telemarketer.”We both rolled our eyes.“Now, where were we?” she asked with a sly smile.You were about to tell me if you will be my girlfriend, I thought to myself.Just then, the song by Elvis Presley ended. Gerald turned towards us and asked “Any sug
Ali’s P.O.VI picked up the phone and greeted with annoyance “Hello?”A woman’s voice greeted me “Hello! My name Margie, I am calling to ask if you are interested in buy—” she didn’t get to finish, because I hung up on her.I looked at Matthew and pouted “It was a freaking telemarketer.”We both rolled our eyes.“Now, where were we?” I asked with a sly smile.Just then, the song by Elvis Presley ended. My father then turned towards me and asked “Any suggestions for songs you both want to dance to?”Matthew smiled and nodded his head, “I am not sure if you have heard of him before, but his name is Ed Sheeran.”My mother gasped in delight “I LOVE HIS SON
Matthew’s P.O.V(THE MOMENT THEY ARRIVED AT ALI’S PARENTS HOUSE)The shocked look on Ali’s face was comical. She looked confused and I already knew that she was going to wonder why we were here at her parent’s house. This morning I woke up with a plan to ask her parents for permission. I already knew that I wanted to be with Ali. Now, I just need to take the next step to make things official between us.“Why are we here?” she asked, pointing to her parent’s house behind her.I stepped forward, grabbed her hand and said “Ali, I love you, and I know you love me. That gives me enough reassurance that you want to be together.”She had a smile on her face and she nodded at me. That made me glad and I felt reassured that she was slowly accepting me being here at
ALI’S P.O.VI turned around towards Matthew my face full of confusion.“Why are we here?” I asked, pointing to my parent’s house behind me.He stepped forward, grabbed my hand and said to me “Ali, I love you, and I know you love me. That gives me enough reassurance that you want to be together.”I smiled and nodded my head, agreeing with his comment, that I am in love with him. I love everything about this man.“I was raised to ask a woman’s parents for permission first, before you date the woman you are in love with,” he said, emphasizing on the word ‘first’ to me.That is so old school, I thought to myself.“I know it is old school,” Matthew said to me with a chuckle.My eyes widened and I blushed, not realizing I said that out loud.“But it is the right way to do this because it is me being respectful to your parents, and showing them that I want to be with you,” Matthew said to me as he pulled me forward and kissed my forehead.I sighed, then pulled back from him and replied “Okay,
