Ali’s P.O.V
The fundraiser went really well and was a huge success. It was unfortunate that Dillion and Dina were not able to join but I understand. Everyone else in the even did as well. It was really nice of Sam to do what she did for Dina, even though she has never met her until now.
Matthew turned to me, when he noticed I was getting sleepy “Are you ready to leave?”
I smiled and nodded my head in reply to his question. Standing up from my chair, I went around the table, kissing everyone on the cheek goodbye. After telling everyone goodbye, Matthew and I walked out the banquet hall and towards the elevator, that will take us upstairs to get Dina and Dillion; from the hotel room that Sam booked for Dina. It was really nice of the staff to do this quickly, instead of making us wait for a room. When the elevator arrived and doors opened; we stepped inside;
Samantha P.O.VZack had not come back down, and I had assumed he would after Dina left. When he did not come back down, I decided to go upstairs and check on him. After we said our goodbyes, Igor and Kyle followed me; leaving Maria, aunt Lavu, and Mikey behind. I’m glad that Mikey and I are okay now. It was exhausting always arguing with him. Although I was mad at first for the stunt he pulled with Igor and I; I am now glad that he did what he did. If he did not do what he did, then Igor, my two sons, and I would not be a family again.When we came out of the banquet hall, we walked towards the elevator. I pressed the up button, and we all waited for the elevator to arrive. When the elevator arrived and doors opened; we stepped inside; making sure to press the level that Dina’s hotel room is on. I am so glad the staff acted quickly when I told them that I wanted a room for Dina. When we
Ali’s P.O.VThe following morning after the fundraiser, I woke up to a text from Matthew, that was sent an hour ago.MATTHEW: Good morning beautiful, I have a surprise for you today. I’m going to pick you up and take you to drop Dina off to school. After that, I want to take you somewhere.ALI: That is so nice of you. Thank you. Where are we going?After I sent the text, I quickly got a reply back. MATTHEW: It is a surprise Ali.ALI: Give me a hint.MATTHEW: No.ALI: Come on Matthew.MATTHEW: No.ALI: Please?
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,
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 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.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
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
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
