MATEO POVDad had called me out on Saturday, I found it strange when he called me and told me he wanted to hang out with me later.I drove to his house after breakfast “What is it? Why are you acting strange?” I asked the moment I saw him sitting down on the couch with a coffee on one hand and newspaper on the other“Good morning to you too son” he deadpanned.“It is unlike you to ask me to hangout so just go straight to the point and tell me what you want” I asked“Can’t a father ask to hang out with his son?” He asked, rhetorically.I rolled my eyes and sat next to him“Where do you want to go?” “I have to go out to try on some wedding suits, I just thought it’d be fine if you come along” He said“You could have saved yourself the stress and just ordered the suits to be delivered home, you know?”“I just thought it’ll be more fun to hangout with my son. Lizzy and her daughter are doing a girls day out so I want us to have our own boys day out too” Dad Of course. It had to be some

MATEO POVI went to the house earlier to check on the bride and bridesmaids as instructed when the butler informed me that they had already left. I was about to turn around and leave when I heard a loud curse word.. I went to go check and did not expect to see her.I stood at the door staring at her as she was focused on whatever she was doing on her phone, she didn't notice my presence.I stood silent and watched her, looking at her dress and the way the fabric clings to her in all the right ways, flowing like it was made just for her. The color, rich and vivid, makes her skin glow and her eyes brighter.Her hair, softly framing her face, catches the light and I notice the smallest details- the light blonde highlights in her hair that goes with the gold fabric of her dress, the curve of her neck, the way her hands rest against her side, the faint rise and fall of her breath.I should say something. Anything. But the words won't come. Instead I stay where I am, watching her in the qui

BRIELLE POVHearing Mom ask me to go dance with Mateo was beyond unexpected.I declined but no one could ever win an argument against my mom.His hands on my waist, warm and steady and I feel a subtle pull as he draws me closer. The music swirls around us, but all I can hear is the fast thrum of my heartbeat. His touch is light but grounding, sending a quiet shiver through me as I let my arms slide up to rest on his shoulders.We start to move together, our steps falling into a natural rhythm, and I can feel the tension and ease in the way his body leans into mine.I have to remind myself not to stiffen, not to pull away. I hate that he’s always so confident, always so sure of himself, like the world bends to his will. And yet here I am, letting him guide me, swaying to the rhythm of the music like I don’t have a choice.His breath grazes my ear as he speaks softly-words I barely caught on, and I ignore the way my heart trips over itself. I glance up at him, catching the way his eyes

BRIELLE POVI rose from the water and saw Mateo standing there staring at me“What the fuck? You scared me” I screamed“Do I look scary?” He asked standing there in a black shirt and casual shorts“Why were you sneaking around the house, I thought it was a robber” I said“And you kept swimming?” he asked, raising his eyebrow.“Yeah do you expect me to take a gun and go run after the robber?” I asked, deadpan.I heard him chuckle. I then realized this was the first time we were having a conversation without actually saying mean words to each other.“What are you even doing here? I was promised your absence in this house” I crossed my hands on my chest“Lizzy called me to come make sure the special guest of honor was comfortable in the house and I can see you've already gotten suited in” he said sarcasticallyMy mother was such a snitch sometimes.“Well now you've done your check in, you can leave” I said as I was about to go back to my swimming.I suddenly became aware of the way he wa
