Matthew P.O.V
Right 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
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

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,
