54| The Day After (Matthew)
Last Updated:
2021-05-10 01:19:00The feeling of wanting her all day every day has only increased after our night together, and I wasn’t sure how long I would be able to keep it a secret from everyone. It was true when I told her I wanted to scream it for the whole world to hear, but I was a reasonable man, and as crazy as I was about the girl, I wanted to wait for things to become more serious.
Emma seemed to have the same thought process as me, wanting to be more reasonable about things. I act on impulse, but Emma calculates things before she makes a move, so I think we made a fairly decent team together.
While we wouldn’t be sharing with anyone that we were now something along the lines of a couple, it doesn’t mean we had to stop flirting around the office. I’m a very flirtatious person, everyone knows it, it doesn’t always mean something is going on, so no one should get suspicious.
I had cracked a joke to Mindi as we came in together and headed directly back to

Matthew and I returned to the office from our lunch date very casually, the date started a little awkward, but once he saw my creative process and how the elements move me, he wanted to know more, and we dove into each other’s minds some more.He thought I was fascinating, and I thought he was brilliant.Later in the day, I was going through emails when I saw one from Emmanuel, subject line read: RED CARPET PHOTOSI immediately clicked on it and ignored all of the other emails in my inbox, he added a message before the attachment, “choose your favorites for me to edit and publish.” I became so excited, I couldn’t wait to open them up and see.It took a while to download the attachment, and I was tapping my foot the entire time, watching the downloading wheel progress very slowly. Damn, how many photos did Emmanuel take?Once downloaded, I opened the attachment to find hundreds of photos, taken both on and off of the

Weeks passed by and no one suspected a thing about Emma and I being a thing. We dated casually, Emma would sometimes spend nights at the penthouse and we would carpool to work almost every day. The photos of the event were published, and Greene Designs was getting all sorts of hype now after Emma’s dress’s debut, along with my new and more diverse model roster – people were swooning. Things were going great, and only a few arguments here and there whenever my sexual past would be brought up. Emma would question if I would be able to commit to her and only her, she insisted one night that I tell her the story of all the other assistants of mine that I’ve screwed before – afraid that she was going down the same path. I always assure her that she’s different from them all, that I’m crazy about her and that things between us are real and great, and that I don’t desire anyone but her, but she sometimes doubted me if I smiled or looked at another woman a certain wa

I hurried to the elevator and went up to the twelfth floor just behind Matthew who had chosen the stairs, probably thinking that his legs could get him there faster.He was right, the elevator was crowded and we had to stop at each level before David’s. I hurried off of it as soon as possible, knowing exactly where Matthew and David were.I heard a loud thud and ran as fast as I could down the hall with my heels.The door to David’s office was open, and I saw Matthew’s back looking down at something on the ground, he must have shoved David down and was about to punch him.“Matthew, stop!”I saw his shoulders rising and falling, he was breathing heavily. I walked cautiously around the desk and towards him, seeing David on the floor with his hands slightly out, bracing for an attack.Matthew’s face was nothing less than rage, his face gone red and his jaw tensed, but a different emotion was held in his eyes,

Today was supposed to be like any other day, I wasn’t supposed to have this all thrown on me. Isabella wasn’t supposed to get pregnant with David’s baby and come to me for support, and Emma wasn’t supposed to ask me about my views on becoming a parent, practically saying that if I said no it was a deal-breaker for her and she wouldn’t want to be with me anymore. I worked out with my equipment at home for hours getting my frustration taken out in a healthier way than hunting down David and giving him a piece of my mind. It wasn’t my place, none of it should have involved me, but it did, and it frustrated the fuck out of me. I’m young, I’m successful, I’m independent, I’m stubborn, I’m not father material! How could she throw something like this on me?! We’ve been together for a month and we’ve only known each other for two months, why is she already talking about kids? She said she isn’t pregnant, so it can’t be because of that, and she’s still young, so she c

Isabella spent the night with Kay and me, she slept in the bed with Kay so that I didn’t disturb her when I got up for work early in the morning. I got ready and peeked in on them both before I headed out, they both looked so peaceful, and Isabella finally looked calm, I hope she has a good day today.I waited for Matthew to come by the apartment so that we could carpool, but he never did. I went up and knocked on his door upstairs but there was no answer. Confused, I left the apartment building and got a cab to the office by myself.Once in the office, everything seemed normal, and Matthew’s light to his office was on. I knocked lightly on the door and opened it when he said come in. He had his head down and papers were scattered everywhere, he was punching numbers into what appeared to be a calculator and writing down the numbers it gave him.“Hey, you didn’t stop by to carpool. Are you okay?”He looked like a mess, his hai

After my talk with Ben, I decided that I was thinking too much about the kid's thing. Emma told me to take some time to think about it, she didn’t say to give her an answer by morning or anything like that. I needed to calm down and think more rationally. Ben had a good point about Emma being career-driven, and I’ve thought for a while that she’s too good for an assistant position, I think a promotion would be the right move. It would move her up in the industry and make her happy, she would make contacts with new people, be out in the world, and be too busy to think about having kids. It seemed like a win for both of us. Sure, I would see her less, but we could go out to lunch every day or dinner, she could spend the night in my apartment and we carpool together, just making two stops instead of one, I think we can make it work. I really didn’t care who my new assistant was, I was with Emma and happy. Sure, a little eye candy wouldn’t hurt, but I wouldn’t da

The interviews were awful, all of them were dumb as a stump and I felt my IQ dropping every time one of them spoke - it was torture. I had several interviews after Matthew’s and my quickie in the conference room, and my entire body was tingling the whole time.I didn’t offer any of them the job – I wasn’t comfortable with any of them being around Matthew for any extended period of time. I needed to work on my trust issues. Matthew has been nothing but good to me, I need to show him that I trust him, even if deep down I really don’t.Maybe I do trust him, and that’s what scares me more than anything about this? Maybe I’m just so scared of trusting him fully and then taking that chance of being let down?Today is when Matthew was supposed to meet the new assistant that I had chosen for him, but when he entered the conference room, he had a confused look on his face, “Did the newbie not show up?”“O

I tried to accept the fact that Emma didn’t trust me and put on a pleasant face, but it was a bitter pill to swallow and I won’t say that it didn’t sting a bit, it really did. I understood her reasons, I did, but it didn’t make it hurt any less. I would do whatever it took to get her to trust me, though, because the truth is, I’m falling in love with her. Emma is the best thing to ever happen to me, and I want to be with her and I want us to have a relationship that’s full of love, happiness, and trust. I’m sure as hell not thinking about marriage and kids yet, though. That’s just ridiculous. Once Emma left the room, I sighed and let my jaw tense. She had a point, she wouldn’t be too busy with training models all the time - quite rarely, honestly, so her work hours would be minimized between seasons. I’ll humor her for a while. Maybe she will make some contacts with her promotion and get involved in something else, something more beneficial fo

Fast forward 5 years “Matthew!” My beautiful wife called out. I followed the sound of her voice and questioned from the doorway, “Yes, dear?” Emma let out an exasperated sigh as she held her growing belly, “Where is our daughter? She disappeared on me.” She was fixing her makeup and steadying her nerves at a pop-up vanity that Isabella had brought by for her. “I think she may have run off with Isaac again, I’ll go look for her,” I turned away and began walking around the shop calling for her, “Stephanie!” Today is the grand opening for Claudette Reed, Emma’s own store. Being the wife of a successful fashion CEO has some perks, and one of them is getting your name out there and having a lot of people to support you. Our daughter, Stephanie, was now four years old and the most mischievous little thing – she definitely takes after me, she even has my bright green eyes. Steph and Isaac were the best of friends, and she called Isabe

After the attempted scandal by NYFJ was taken down by Matthew’s brother, Ben, and his amazing hacking skills, life went back to normal for us. Matthew and I were dating, we were happy, Trish was his full-time assistant, and he even comes by to help me with Emile sometimes on his lunch break when I’m babysitting.Months passed, and one night, while Matthew and I were in a cab heading to a date he had planned, Matthew got a call from Isabella, telling him that she had had her baby. Being the baby's godparents, we hurried to the hospital as soon as possible and found her in a hospital bed with a small bundle swaddled in blankets in her arms, along with her parents on either side of her.Isabella smiled as she saw us enter the room and motioned for us to join her. Her parents made room, and Matthew went to one side of the bed and I went to the other, both of us looking down at the swaddled baby she held.“This is Isaac,” she introduced her ba

I woke up saddened that Emma didn’t stay over but feeling better after all that went down yesterday with Eli. I still didn’t know how I was going to get rid of these rumors about me cheating. Even if Emma believed me that it wasn’t true, that didn’t mean she was going to like seeing it on the front page of every magazine. I groaned as I rolled out of bed, hissing in pain as my bruises came alive. I felt my face and looked down at my naked torso, seeing a few bruises scattered, I smiled as I remembered last night when I told Emma I had “Booboo’s that needed kisses.” God, I’m pathetic, but it worked. I headed downstairs to find Ben and thank him for letting me stay over. I found him in the dining room, sipping on some coffee with the newspaper in hand, leaning back in his chair. “Morning, dad,” I mocked and he gave me a quick glare. I chuckled, “What? Isn’t this the sight kids come down to in the morning? Dad at the table with the paper and coffee?”

Matthew’s mom and I got along really well, and I look up to her now that I saw how she raised her boys when how they respected her. She mentioned Matthew getting mocked for having a busted face after a rumor spread of him cheating, so he went home with Ben and decided to hang out there for the next week or so for his bruises and cuts to heal. He had asked me to go to his apartment and get him some clothes and things he needed since he would be working from Ben’s home, he also asked me to bring Kay along with me, which I thought was odd, but I realized as soon as we got there why he asked for her to come. Ben answered the door of his house and his eyes went right to Kay, staring at her with a twinkle in his eye and a small smile forming on his lips. It was adorable, really, and looking over at Kay, I could see her blushing and smiling right back. Ben looks remarkably similar to Matthew, and I know Kay is fond of looking at Matthew, but it never dawned on me th

I had been glancing around for Emma but couldn’t find her anywhere and began to fear that she had left. My mother is my rock and the one person I truly admire and respect, other than Emma, of course, but my mother has my utmost respect and she deserved my attention at the moment. She took a step closer to me and said, “You’re the most honest person I know, Matty, and I’m proud of you for it. Now tell me, did you cheat on this mystery woman?” “No, I did not.” I noticed her slightly lift her chin before she asked, “Do you love her?” “More than anything.” She seemed pleased with my quick answers and stepped closer to cup my face, “My honest, loving boy. You need to fix this,” I nodded my head silently to her. She turned to Eli and did the same, saying, “My strong, courageous boy. You need to support your brother, not bring him down. I understand sibling rivalry, but trying to steal your brother’s girlfriend? Not okay. Do you understand?”

I gulped as I read the headline and stared at Eli’s cellphone, seeing the photographs underneath the headline. The first one was of Matthew and I on our first date walking on the sidewalk with our hands together, the one next to it was the photo of Matthew and Charlotte on the couch at the soirée – the same photo that made me throw up the first time I saw it.This time feeling no different, along with the heat from the day, I had to excuse myself from the boys and run to get some fresh air on the other side of the bleachers. I couldn’t be around anyone right now, I was feeling humiliated. Did everyone see this? Were they secretly laughing at me behind my back? My head was spinning.I pulled out my own phone and looked it up, reading the article, it said: “This reporter learns that Matthew Greene, CEO of Greene Designs paid off the photographer of the scandalous Charlotte Mercury photo by means of a sexual favor the very night it was taken

Emma stayed over and we made love all night until our bodies were exhausted. We were definitely making up for lost time and it was phenomenal finally being with her again. I was elated when she agreed to be my girlfriend again and come back to me. This time, I know we will be stronger than before because we both know how awful it was when we were apart.We were in the shower together when I told her about the plans for the day, “My brother invited me to play baseball with him. He’s practicing before the season starts and we always get together and have a little game with some friends,” the mention of my brother had Emma’s eyes widen for half a second but she hid it quickly.I knew that Emma and Eli had seen each other and danced in the club, I also know that she ran like hell when she realized who he was. The thought was both infuriating and amusing to me.If what Eli said was true, then there shouldn’t be any awkwardness between th

Matthew and I went straight to his apartment after we got back together and made out the whole ride there. We were making up for lost time together, and it was amazing - It was raw, passionate, loving, and much needed.The new stubble that he let grow out gave a new sensation when making out as it scratched against my face. It wasn’t painful, it was actually exciting having a new sensation there and brushing against my skin.Once inside, we began stripping our clothes off piece by piece. First came Matthew’s suit jacket, then I helped him with the buttons of his white shirt while he pulled up my shirt off of me, our lips only parting when necessary.We tried to make our way to the bedroom but failed and ended up on the large couch instead, Matthew hovered on top of me and let some of his body press against me, eventually grinding his hardening member on my leg, resulting in a tingling sensation in my core, begging me to give him entrance.I co

Inside a tall building in the heart of Manhattan, Natalie Freeman was hurrying to her aunt’s office to share with her the latest news that popped up on her phone. “Aunty Joyce, aunty, have you heard?” She pants as she hurries into the woman’s office. Joyce had her eyes glued to her computer as she responded to her niece, “I think everyone has heard, dear. The news is everywhere,” Joyce grabbed a remote and turned on her TV to one of the shows that talks all about celebrities and the hottest new gossip. Natalie and Joyce both looked at the TV on the wall as the reporter said, “The CEO of Greene Designs, a hot and upcoming fashion brand, who is known for his playboy lifestyle, has officially announced this morning that he is off the market and according to one anonymous source, completely in love with his new mystery woman!” The reporter continued, “The question that everyone is asking, is who is Matthew Greene’s mystery woman?” A second host wh
