Chapter 37 & 38 : A Tender Apology
Hailey stared at Him shocked and uncertainty in her eyes, She moved towards him a little.
“Since when?” She asked as a whisper, Matteo took his hand to his hair and ruffled it, he was also trying to wonder when it happened
“I…I.. don’t know, it Just happened, At First I thought it was just a simple crush, but then i saw you with Paul and my Heart started to misbehave, I thought I was Crazy” Matteo says rambling on and on.
“Do…Do you not Love me back?” He asks, he thought she did, all the signs she gave, the kisses, Did it not mean anything to her like it meant to him.
“What about Brandon?” Hailey asks purposefully ignoring his question.
“That’s the thing Hailey, I Love you but I don’t want to risk my Years friendship with Brandon, I need to know if you love me back so I can Know if this..Us is worth fighting for” Matteo says looking into her eyes, Although he looked calm, his inside was in a ruckus.
“I…I…” Matteo paused her words.
“If you Love me, Kiss me Now and If You don’t, Walk away” Matteo says looking at Hailey pleading eyes.
Hailey Slowly walks towards him, She raises her hand to his chest and trails it up till it was around his neck, she played with his hair a little and slams her lips on his.
Matteo heart lept happily, he didn’t waste time before he grabs her @ss pulling her to him completely, it was as if he was trying to get into her skin due to how close he was pulling her.
Hailey gasps when she Felt Matteo’s hand on her @ss, When they kisses before, his hand was Always around her waist, never her @ss but now he was groping it as if it was his.
Matteo rubs his hand on her @ss before taking the other hand to her neck, not choking her though, he tugged his tongue so deep Into her mouth as if he wanted her to swallow it.
Hailey could feel the heat in the kiss, the love, the admiration, the respect, the care, She could feel everything he was giving to her as she gave it back twice as hard.
Hailey was losing breathe already but it felt like Matteo was just starting, He kept kissing her, sucking her lower lips Into his, sucking her tongue, biting softly on her lips.
“Matt” Hailey manages to say as he was sucking her lower lip giving her access to open her mouth, Matteo eyes widens and he moves back quickly, he was so lost in her taste that he didn’t know he lost control.
“I’m So Sorry..I didn’t mean to hurt you ..I’m so sorry” He began to ramble again but Hailey places her hand on his cheek to calm him down, she had to step on her tippy toes to touch his cheek, not that Matteo was really tall but Hailey was short.
“I Love You” Matteo says bending and resting his forehead on hers, Hailey smiles.
“I Love You” She says and Matteo carries her by the waist swinging her as he rolled in a circle motion, Hailey laughed at this.
“Matt Stop” She says and he does so.
“Are we now Like Together and stuff?” Matteo asks weirdly since he didn’t know how to put it, it was his first time dating, but his first Love wasn’t a good memory.
“Of Course Matt, you don’t expect us not to be” Hailey says teasingly .
Matteo pouts and looks at her, he folded his hand and Looked away, Hailey furrowed her brows.
“What’s wrong?” She asks but Matteo was still putting up the Cute action, Hailey didn’t know whether to smile or burst out laughing .completely, this was the first time she was seeing Matteo acting childish, he always had his signature smirk on his face.
“I want a Pet name..I don’t want you calling me by my name” He says pouting making Hailey smile widely, She stood on her tippy toes and ran her hand through his hair softly and affectionately.
Matteo saw how she stood on her toes and grabs her waist lifting her up, Hailey wraps her leg around his waist on reflex since she was shocked
“You’re so short” Matteo says bringing his signature smirk back to his face.
“I’m not short, you’re just really tall” Hailey says using her hand to show tallness as she lifted it up, Pouting.
Matteo watched her and thought she looked really really cute, he uses one hand to balance her and took the other to her cheek pinching it a little, Hailey drops her hand and looks at him, blinking her big eyes rapidly for a few second.
“You looked Really cute when you did that” Matteo says making Hailey blush.
“You look cute when you blush” He says once again and buries his face in her neck.
“I’m happy you feel the same way” He says, his face still in her neck.
“I’ve loved you since we were 5” Hailey says and Matteo smiles.
“I Knew” He says and Hailey brought his head up.
“You did?” She asked shocked.
“Yeah…Anyone would have with the home made cookies you always give to me, the blushing but I thought you were silly then” Matteo says and Hailey hit his head.
“And now?” She asked.
“All I see is a sexy 16 year old that stole my heart mysteriously” Matteo says and Hailey leans in, Matteo closes his eyes thinking she was going to kiss him but instead she bit his lower lip hard.
“Ouch” He says opening his eyes immediately, sucking his lower lip into his mouth.
“That’s what you get for thinking I’m silly and for avoiding me this morning” She says and Matteo smirks.
He uses his free hand to spank her @ss hard, Hailey jumps at this, she was still on his body, Matteo almost groaned at how her b**bs hit his chest .
“Yahhhh” She shouts.
“That’s bad… You touching my @ss is bad.. don’t do that” She says pouting.
“It’s Ours Now Wifey” He says and Hailey froze.
“What did you call me?” She asks and Matteo smiles.
“I wanna marry you in the future so I should start calling you my wife from now on, Ain’t that right Wifey?” He says again and Hailey hit him playfully.
“Your so cheesy” She says .
“Only for you” Matteo says winking and drops her.
“Let’s go before your brother walks into your room and you ain’t there, it dark already” He says and Hailey nods.
“Wait…My Pet name?” Matteo suddenly asks.
“Since you call me Wifey..I might as well just call you hubby…Hubby” She says winking as she says “Hubby”, blood rushes to Matteo’s cheek and ear, his heart doing a somersault when he heard what she said.
“Let’s go” He coughs out and began to drag her hand as they walked out of there.
They got to the car and soon drove off…
~MENDEL MANSION>>
The Car stops Infront of the mansion, Hailey was about to come down when Matteo grabs her hand.
“A Kiss” He says pointing to his lips.
“In front of my house where Brandon can see us” She says the obvious, Matteo rolled his eyes and pointed at the Glass.
“It’s Wounded up and also not see through Wifey” He says pulling her close, He gently takes her lips into his , tugging at it softly, his hand stroking her hair slowly he then disengages from the kiss.
“Good night” He says and Hailey furrows her brow.
“Aren’t you coming in?” She asks.
“I have to get somewhere first” Matteo says, his facial expression changing.
“At this time?” She asks.
“I’ll be back I promise” He says and Hailey nods, coming down from his car and waving before walking off, she knew Brandon would be asleep by Now or Sharing Kisses with her best friend.
Matteo driver off, his expression hard, he looked sad as he drove with speed, his hand clenching on the wheel.
Few Minutes Later, He turns off the ignition and comes down the car, in front of him was a cemetery.
He enters and greets the Security man who knew him a lot, he continues to walk deep down until he got to a place where there was no other grave except for the 2 he was staring at.
He got to it and brought out 2 small flower from his pocket, he dropped it on each of them.
“Hey Brother and Brother Girlfriend”.
Chapter 39 & 40 : A New Twist in the Love Triangle
Matteo sat in front of the grave as he reminisces what happened in the past, how his brother died along with hus girlfriend.
~6 YEARS AGO>>
Matteo watched as Matthew dressed up for his date with his girlfriend, Bianca..Truth to be told, Matteo love Bianca, she was his first love but when Matthew declared to be dating her, he stepped back.
Bianca was 2 years older than Matteo but he didn’t care since Age was just a number , he knew Bianca didn’t feel the same way but who said he couldn’t love her from afar.
Matthew didn’t know about his love for Bianca and Matteo didn’t plan on ever telling him, who would tell their elder brother that he loved his Girlfriend.
Matteo was sad and happy within, he was sad that Matthew was going on a date with his First Love but he was happy he was tagging along
Matteo’s Younger sister was just a year old, his mom had dropped her at his granddad house while his dad went to work.
15 year old Matteo was so ecstatic when his mom said he should tag along with Matthew who wasn’t too happy about that decision
“Hurry…we still have to go pick your girlfriend” Matteo says whining like a baby while Matthew rolled his eyes.
“Just stay home” Matthew said wearing the second leg of his shoe.
“Noo Home is Boring” Matteo says and jumps off Matthew bed.
“I’ll be in the living room” Matteo says and walks out, Matthew rolled his eyes again but releases a small smile after.
Few Minutes later, Matteo and Matthew got into the car and began to drive over to Bianca’s home, They got there not long after because her house wasn’t too far from theirs .
Bianca walked out the door graciously, her blonde hair flowing with her, her blue eyes shining brightly under the sun.
Matthew came down from the car and walks to her, he pick her up by the waist and spins her, Bianca laughs at thus, her perfectly aligned teeth complimenting her exquisite beauty.
Matthew dropped her down and kissed her, Matteo who saw this looked away, gulping down and sighing out slowly.
The Couples walked into the car, Matteo had to go to the back, Bianca smiled at him in which he returned, Obviously Bianca knew nothing about his feelings.
“Where are we going?” Matteo asks.
“To a restaurant” Matthew responds.
“Boooriiing” Matteo dragged his words, Bianca chuckles loudly.
“Let’s go to a Park(The same park where Hailey met Paul, the abandoned park)” Matteo says, Matthew wanted to argue but Bianca touched him warmly.
“Let’s just go” Bianca says and Matthew nods.
~DREAM PARK>>
“I brought My Camera…Let me take a photo of you guys” Matteo says and the couples nodded.
Matteo snapped their pictures as they posed differently, Matteo could see how happy they were together and at that moment decides to get rid of his love for Bianca.
They played a lot of games, Matteo taking pictures of all of them, Pop the balloon, Throw the dart and win a teddy and all stuff.
“You guys should get on the ferris wheel, I wanna take a picture of you guys on it Please” Matteo begs and Matthew nods though he was terrified of height.
“Don’t be a scaredy cat babe” Bianca nudged Matthew who smiles at her and soon they began walking to the ferris wheel, if only they could predict the Future, they wouldn’t dare go on the ferris wheel.
Soon they both got on the ride and soon it Started moving, the Man controlling the machine went on a bathroom break.
A small child got to the machine and started to tap numerous buttons on it, his mom came and carried him away from there but the damage was already done.
The Ferris wheel began to move super fast, People on it began to scream, Fear gripping them especially Bianca and Matthew.
The man cam back when he Heard the scream and the crowd that began to gather there, he tried to reverse it but he couldn’t.
Matteo was scared, he was gripping bus camera tightly, tears was flowing out his eyes already, He knew Matthew was terrified of height but this would totally scare the hinges out of him.
Bianca didn’t know what to grip since the machine didn’t have seat belt but just a small pole like table in front of them.
She was totally terrified, her bracelet fell to the ground, a bracelet that was from Matthew, she bends to pick it but couldn’t.
She tries to stand a bit and adjust herself to grab the bracelet but slipped and before you knew it, she was out the eat and hanging on to the rim
People who were watching screamed louder.
“She’s gonna fall”.
“Someone should help”.
Matthew grabs Bianca hands trying to pull her up but the speed at which the ferris wheel was moving made him weak due to his fear.
“Hold On Please” Matthew says as tears flowed through his eyes.
“I can’t…I’m so tired…my arm hurts” Bianca says also crying.
Matteo was nearer to the machine, he was screaming and crying as he watched Bianca hang on, minutes away from death.
“Let go Matthew” Bianca says, her hand already slipping but Matthew refused to let go.
“Please just hang on for me okay” Matthew says and soon began hearing siren.
Bianca was already tired from hanging, her hand began to slip, Matthew eyes widens as he tries to hang on but it was hopeless.
Bianca slipped from his hand when they were at the top height, he jumps to grab her, he planned on letting his leg hook him but failed.
They both began falling fast, People screaming as they watched, Matteo running to where they were going to fall to but he was too slow.
Matthew and Bianca fell to the ground, their heads hitting the ground hard, their skull breaking.
People rushes towards them, The Cop and Ambulance parked their card and rushes down to them.
Matteo got there and paused as he looked at them, he froze totally, his legs went weak and soon he was on his knees, People were pushing, rushing to see but all Matteo saw was the dead body of his Brother and Girlfriend.
Matteo scans their body and cries more when he sees Matthew and Bianca hands locked together.
The Paramedics rushes to them, putting them on the troller and began rushing to their Van.
They put them into the 2 ambulances and drive away without waiting, Matteo was still on the ground when everywhere went Blank.
~AN HOUR LATER>>
Matteo woke up, his eyes fluttering open trying to adjust to the bright light of the hospital ward.
He sat up quick, soon the nurse came in.
“Matthew….Bianca” He says numerous times removing the IV cable in his body.
“Do you Mean Matthew James?” The nurse asks and Matteo nods repeatedly.
“He and his girlfriend were taken in for surgery but sadly they couldn’t survive it, His family and Her family are out there” The nurse says and walks out.
Matteo quickly rushes out and he immediately saw his mom crying on her knees, Mani, his younger sister was also crying oblivious of what was happening but she was crying because his mom was crying.
He saw Bianca’s dad, Mom and elder brother also in tears, Mrs James spots Matteo and rushes to him.
“Mom…tell me it’s not true… Matthew isn’t dead right?” Matteo asks but Mrs James just cried more.
“NOOOOO!!!” Matteo screams.
“It’s all my fault, I was the one who told Matthew to allow us to go to the park instead of going to a diner…it’s all my fault” Matteo cries and stand but soon a slap land on his face.
His mouth opens when he sees his dad staring at him with angry eyes, hate also evident in his eyes.
“You killed my Son….You killed my son ..You Bastard” Mr James shouts hitting Matteo again.
“I’m sorry ….I didn’t mean to” Matteo says, Mr James closes his eyes breathing in anger.
“Out..” Mr James says .
“What?” Matteo says out.
“Get Out Of here…. From this Hospital…From Our Lives…I don’t ever want to see you again…OUT!!!” Mr James shouts and Matteo staggers back.
“Honey ..You can’t…” Mrs James was about to talk but was cut.
“Shut Up Woman” Mr James shouts.
Matteo turns and ran out the hospital in tears, Bianca’s Parents watched the drama but they weren’t mad at Matteo because he didn’t cause the machine to malfunction, he was just a kid.
Days Passed and Matteo was nowhere to be seen, Actually he was at the Mendel Mansion, Mr and Mrs Mendel were always there for him..same as Brandon but Hailey who was just 10 knew nothing it.
FLASHBACK ENDS>>
“I’m so Sorry Matthew and Bianca…I didn’t mean to cause your deaths…it’s all my fault…I’m so sorry..Please forgive me” Matteo Cries on their grave.
“It’s not your fault” He hears and Turns back, he was shocked to see his father staring at him in pity.
“I’m sorry Dad…I didn’t mean to cause his death…if only I knew, I wouldn’t have gone with them or made us fo to the park” Matteo cries and was utterly shocked when his dad hugs him.
“It’s alright…. I’m sure they have forgiven you and so have I… I’m also sorry for blaming you for the death, I’m sorry for the ill treatment, i should’ve been here for you through your hard times, I knew how close you and Matthew were” Mr James apologies and they continued to hug, Matteo was so happy he had gained his Father’s Forgiveness.
“I’m sure they’re happy wherever they are, I mean they would still be Lovers up there and would’ve have done a lot of things” Mr James joked and Matteo laughs.
Matteo looks to the sky…
“I Love You Always Brother”.
Chapter 41 & 42 : Hailey’s Dilemma
Matteo and His Dad bonded a bit as they talked not forgetting to add Matthew into the conversation like he was still alive.
Matteo went to the Mendel Mansion that day with a smile on his face, he enters and skips up to Brandons room.
He was about to enter when he heard Girly Laughter, he stopped on his tracks knowing Freya was the one laughing.
He turns and made his way to Hailey’s room, he got there and enters slowly, without knocking, He saw Hailey in her bed, her Glasses on and a novel in her hand.
She has her leg on the head board and the novel up in her palm, he knew she was oblivious of his entry so he quietly walked and snuck up to where her face was.
He leaned in and kisses her hand that was holding the book making Hailey flinch as the book went flying out of her hand.
Her Glasses became crooked in her nose making her look funny, Matteo chuckled at this but received a smack in the head.
“Why would you do that?” Hailey whisper yell at Matteo.
“I Missed You” He says pushing her slightly on the end and towering over her, his right hand holding his up while his left was on her lap holding it to his side.
Matteo buried his face in her neck, hugging her on the bed, Hailey hand went to his hair, stroking it gently.
“You Look Happy” Hailey says the obvious.
“I am Happy” Matteo says and Hailey smiles.
“Why?” She asks and Matteo looks up at her, he was fighting within himself whether to tell her or not.
“It’s alright…you don’t have to tell me” Hailey says which Made Matteo make up his mind to tell her.
“I made up with my Dad” He says playing with her small finger.
“Made up?? Were you guys on the wrong hand?” Hailey asks and Matteo nods.
“My Brother” He says.
“Matthew..I thought he travelled..is he back?” Hailey asks, she knew Matthew but not really.
“He’s Dead” Matteo says and Hailey gasps.
“Oh My…I’m so sorry” Hailey says but Matteo shrugs it off.
“It’s okay…That was years ago” Matteo says.
“It was My Fault” Matteo says and Hailey raised a brow, Matteo began to tell her everything, not leaving any information behind, he told her every nook and cranny in which Hailey listened with her upmost attention.
“Nothing was your fault” Hailey says as Matteo never looked up, his face in her neck all through.
“It was their Fate, Everything happens for a reason, it may be bad, it may be good, but never blame yourself if it’s bad, You just have to learn how to accept the truth and accept your fate” Hailey says, Mate hugs her tighter.
“What would I do without you?” He say looking at her this time.
“Nothing” Hailey teased making Matteo chuckle.
“True” He mutters but Hailey heard.
Matteo adjusted his self up so he could be taller than Hailey in the bed, he aligned their faces, their breathe mixing.
“I Love You” Matteo says pecking her nose and biting it a bit.
“I Love You” Hailey says and initiated the kiss, Matteo hand went to her neck as usual, not choking her but pulling her closer.
“Sweet” Matteo growls, his hand going to her waist, under her night gown which made the Gown to raise, her blue Lacy panties coming to view
His hand rubbing her bare back up and down continuously, his hand left her night gown and went to her hair, he pulled it back which made her neck align to his lips.
He attacked her neck, sucking, biting, licking, he wanted to leave a mark on her to warn other guys that she was…..
“Mine” Matteo says kissing down to her cleavage, he licked it making Hailey take in a quick breathe.
He tried back to her lips and continues to kiss her, as usual Hailey was already losing breathe but Matteo didn’t look like he wanted to stop
His hand trailing under the clothe, she was wearing nothing under except her blue Lacy panties, His hand was about to palm her breast when a knock was heard.
“Hailey…You There?” Brandon voice came from the other end.
“Yeah” Her voice came out breathless.
“Are you okay? You sound tired” Brandom asks.
“Yeah I was kinda asleep but your knocking woke me up” Hailey says glaring at Brandon, Matteo attached his lips to hers again.
“Ooh Sorry…Just wanted to say Good Night” Brandon says and Haueny had to push Matteo away from her before she replied back
“Good Night… Don’t get my vest friend pregnant” She jokes and Brandon laughed and soon his footsteps faded and a banging of door was heard.
Hailey looks at Matteo who had a smirk on his face as he stared at her, Hauje had her mouth wide open seeing Matteo had removed his shirt
She was used to seeing his shirtless a lot but not from this close, she had the urge to run her finger on his abs.
“Take a Picture Wifey…it lasts longer” Matteo teasesd but Hailey literally brought out her phone and took not one but 4 pictures.
“More Please” She says unconsciously still taking more pictures
“Naughty Princess” Matteo says and Hailey realizes what she said and Buried herself under the duvet, Matteo climbs over her laughing, hai body towering over hers.
“No need to be Shy princess, it’s yours anyway” Matteo say trying to pull down the duvet from her face but her grip was strong.
“C’mon Princess” Matteo says and Hailey slowly brought down the duvet from her face, her hand stopping under her chin making her look cute.
“Your hand” Matteo asks and Hailey stretches her hand to him, Matteo grabs it firmly but not tightly.
He slowly placed her hand on his chest, Hailey gasps at the feeling, Matteo began to move her hand on his body.
“Feel” He says removing his hand from holding her, Hailey began to move her hand on her own, she giggled at the feeling.
Matteo had his eyes closed enjoying her warmth, the feeling of her hand on his body, he felt like his heart was about to burst due to how fast it was beating, He groans a bit enjoying it.
He noticed her movement stopped, his eyes fluttered open only to see Hailey staring at him with those beautiful big brown eyes of hers.
Hailey trailed her hand up to his neck and grabs it using it to bring him closer to her, the way Matteo does, She then kisses him.
A Month had Passed, Hailey Matteo Relationship going smooth, Freya and Hare parents knew about it but the only person who didn’t was Brandon.
He once caught them in a compromising state and almost beat the shit out of Matteo that day but was stopped By Hailey who quickly formed a lie.
Freya told Hailey to tell Brandon but she was hesitant, she knew how Brandon should react, Freya tried to convince her it wouldn’t be that bad but Only Hailey knew how her Brother was.
Their Exams came fast, Matteo and Brandon too had exams, They were in her final year and this exam was their last.
The Couples rarely had time for themselves anymore dies to studying for exams, Hailey and Freya were going to their first year in senior hight which meant they really had to pass these exams.
Today was the final day of Both exams, Hailey and Freya had finished and were patiently waiting for their results to be revealed, they were always giving their results immediately but Matteo and Brandon had to wait a week.
“The Results has been posted” One of Hailey classmate said and soon everyone began rushing to check the big notice board which was packed with seniors and juniors.
“Did I pass?” Hailey asks Freya who was searching for their names, she found hers in no 9 and soon began searching for Hailey’s.
“You’re…. You’re…”Freya says after spotting Hailey’s name.
“What?? What??” Hailey asks agitated.
“You’re in the top 3 in our class” Freya shouts and They both screamed, The results was as follows.
- Ginnie Flora – 97%.
- Hailey Mendel – 95%.
- Solomon David – 92%……..
“What’s your percentage?” Hailey asks Freya who looked at the notice board again.
“80” Freya says and received a smack from Hailey.
“When you’re busy glued to my brother, why wouldn’t you score 80” Hailey says rolling her eyes.
“What’s Sup?!!!!” They both turned to see Harry and Jerry, Yeah They later figured out who’s Freya heart was for and gave up although Jerry Promised something.
“If her ever breaks your heart, if he ever hurt you, I won’t stop at anything to get you to Love me” That was his promise.
“Let me guess…you failed” Hailey says the obvious.
“I don’t count 74% as failing” Jerry says scratching his head but received a smack, Hailey turns to Harry who raised his hand.
“89” He says and Hailey puts down her hand.
“Hey!!! not fair… he’s just 9 more than I am” Freya says but the glare she received made her look away chuckling weirdly.
“Good Job Hailey” Ginnie appeared and Saud to Hailey which shock all of them, Ginnie looks at Harry and winks, that part of her will never change but she really do Like Harry a lot, she walks away after.
“Did”
“That”
“Just”
“Did she just wink at me?” All turned to Harry who spoiled their smooth mantra.
“Hehe” Harry grins awkwardly..
“She likes you” Freya says nudging his side.
“Ughh Not My Type” Harry says bluntly.
“Ouch dude” Jerry says and began to pull Harry with him to where their classmates were gathered.
“We’re going to senior year” Freya says and they both squealed loudly making their classmates who was around them to chuckle.
