A Play for Love: Chapter 1
He remembers the instant jealousy he felt when he heard Dani and Destiny talking about how hot the new guy was. Never in his life had he felt as jealous as he did in that moment and he didn't quite understand it at all. How he felt this blind hatred of some guy he didn't understand. He usually didn't mind that much when he saw his "girlfriend" talking to another guy. So why would this be any different than usual? It was really bugging him. He was glad that even though he wasn't paired up with Dani that he got to work with Destiny. The two of them were just watching as Dani and whatever his name was were going through one of their scenes a couple hours earlier. Now he was just sitting there on his dad's empty hospital bed while he was at physical therapy with his mom who wouldn't leave his side afraid that he would over exert himself if she did. Out of nowhere he heard a knock on the door and he looked up to see Destiny holding some kind of container.
"You can come in." He said motioning for her to come in. Destiny then came in placing down the mysterious container.
"Special delivery. Mom's magic cookies. She and I made a double batch for your dad." She said opening the container smiling. Man she always knew the right thing to do.
"Thanks." Matthew said returning the smile.
"Where is he?" Destiny asked him.
"He'sin physical therapy. My mom went with him to make sure he didn't push it." He replied.
"So he's better, I mean, since he's on his feet and everything?" She asked curiously.
"Yeah, he's getting there. He's got a goal now." Man he couldn't wait for his parents to get married again it was like a dream come true.
"Oh, yeah?" She said looking at him with her soulful brown eyes which were filled with curiosity
"He and my mom are getting married." He said with a smile on his face.
"For real? That's good. Right?" She said unsure. He gave her a look in return that was very similar to her own.
"Yeah, it's great. I'm gonna be the best man." Matthew said grinning proudly.
"Congratulations. It'll be a fun wedding. Your family knows how to do it." She replied.
"Yeah, we get enough practice." He said recalling the many weddings his family has already had.
"I liked the last one, once Miss Dorian was done with her drama. It was a fun time." She said no doubt about his moms and Uncle Clint's wedding. He had a lot of fun too for many reasons.
"Yeah, it was." Matthew said softly while looking at her fondly. Destiny then looked away quickly.
"So are you gonna ask Dani to this wedding?" She asked him. He wasn't actually quite sure if he really wanted her to be his date. Something seemed to be holding him back but he didn't know quite what.
"These cookies look good." He said abruptly changing the subject.
"Try one." Destiny said motioning at them.
"They're for my dad." He said with a slightly puzzled look on his face.
Destiny rolled her eyes at him. "It's a double batch. There's plenty. And like my mom says, it'll cure what ails you."
"I'm not sick" Matthew said frowning slightly.
"Well, something's bugging you." She replied looking at him.
"Nah." He said grabbing on of the cookies.
Destiny gave him a look that said he couldn't fool her at all. "I saw you at rehearsal."
Crap he thought now he was just going to have to make up some excuse. "I'm just freaking out because I don't know my lines." He sputtered out looking down. He could tell she didn't believe him.
"And they're written on Nate Salinger's forehead. That's where you're staring the whole time." Destiny replied. It's futile to argue with her since she always got her way at least most of the time.
"Okay, I was just trying to remember my blocking, and he just always seemed to get in the way." Damn it he just lied again. They just seemed to keep slipping out and he didn't know why. She looked like she didn't believe him once again.
"Looked to me like he was always next to Dani. Are you jealous of Nate?" Destiny asked. Man she hit the nail right on the head. Boy was she good and pretty smart too. He got up off the bed.
"Okay, I'm not happy about how much Dani and Nate are gonna be kissing." He replied.
"They do a lot more than that." She replied while munching on a cookie.
"Thanks for the help." Matthew said bitterly. Like he didn't already know that.
"I'm just saying you better get used to it. I mean, it'll be hard for Dani, too." She said.
"Working with that pretentiously tall actor." He spit out jealously. He found it hard to believe that Dani would have a hard time doing a scene with Nate at all especially since of the way that he looked.
"She'll have to watch you and me kissing. Langston and Markko have some scenes where they can't keep their hands off each other." Destiny replied in a sort of sing song voice.
"Yeah, I guess." He said quietly. He did recall the numerous scenes that were kissing in and sometimes even more than just kissing. Those scenes should be … interesting.
"And we're gonna have to practice. You just get ready. I'm gonna make Miss Dani jealous." Destiny replied hopefully. If only it was that simple, Dani didn't usually get jealous very easily at all.
"No, we won't." Matthew replied quietly.
"Why not?" She asked.
"Because she knows that we're just friends. Nothing's gonna happen between us." He said with an air of disappointment. Where the hell did that come from? Why would he be disappointed at that? He never felt anything like that before.
"But you think something's gonna happen between Nate and Dani." She stated. Thank god she completely misread what he meant although he did think that was true too. He reached out and grabbed the two tickets out of his pockets walking toward the doorway.
"Are those..." She gestured to what was in his hands.
"Prom tickets." He replied playing with them in his hands.
"Did you ask Dani?" Destiny asked him.
"Not yet." He said. Matthew didn't really know why he didn't it felt like some unseen force was stopping him from doing it.
"What are you waiting for?" She asked. That seemed to be the question of the day but he knew the answer as much as her which meant he didn't know why.
"You think she'll say yes?" Matthew asked unsurely.
"Sure, why not?" She replied. They both reached for the last cookie which he split in half and gave the other part to her; there was slight spark when their hands touched. Destiny then gave him a warm hug and said goodbye leaving him sitting on the bed deep in thought. But it wasn't about what she thought.
He couldn't stop thinking his Mom's and Clint's wedding, more specifically the hour or so before it even began…
*Flashback*
Matthew rolled to the front of the church in his new wheelchair.
"Am I being a jerk? You know, getting in my mom and dad's face about this surgery? I mean, you created this, right? The doctor, the idea of the surgery. None of this would exist if you hadn't made it happen. Look, my parents are really upset, and today's my mom's wedding day. I didn't want to file the lawsuit. I just thought I had to. I mean, they wouldn't even listen to me. Okay, maybe I shouldn't have blackmailed them, but I didn't end up telling my Uncle Clint that I saw my mom and dad kissing. I just couldn't hurt them like that." He paused taking a breath.
"So am I gonna make it? Well, you can't tell me, but how bad could it be, dying? I mean, I go to the O.R., I'm excited about getting my legs back, and...I just don't wake up. At least my last thoughts would be dropping back, hitting a 3-pointer to win the game."
"Matthew ... (he turned around at the sound of her beautiful voice) if I thought for one second that you were gonna die, I'd never let my brother do the surgery, ever." Destiny exclaimed leaning over to hug him. He had to force himself not to look at her cleavage or think about how right this felt.
"I'm not gonna die. It's just my parent's keep bringing it up." He replied trying to focus.
"Mybrother would never let you die." She replied crying slightly. Does she always have to look gorgeous?
"I know. I was just- whatever. Look, don't cry." He said trying to reassure her. He didn't like it when she did it broke his heart.
"I'm not crying. (Sniffling). So, the wedding is still on?" Destiny said trying to maintain her composure.
"As far as I know." He replied unsurely.
"After your parents were kissing? Your dad's letting her marry your uncle? So he doesn't know?" She asked slightly confused.
"No, he almost found out." Matthew answered.
"How?" She asked
"From me. Told him that if they didn't sign the consent form to my surgery, that I'd rat them out." He replied.
"You blackmailed your parents?" Destiny asked quite shocked.
"Only they called my bluff. They told me to go right ahead and tell my uncle. I just couldn't hurt them like that." Matthew said.
"You're a good person." She said.
"Well, I'm still suing." He replied.
"So tell me again why your mom is marrying your uncle if she's kissing your dad." Destiny said.
He rolled his eyes. "Parents, they think they have all the right answers, when they're really screwed up."
Destiny then took a seat on the front pew. "I'm glad there's gonna be a wedding. Even if they're all messed up, everybody always looks so beautiful, even Shaun. The boy cleans up. I can't wait till your sister sees him in his tux. He looks smokin'." All Matthew could think about was how gorgeous she looked in that dress; thank god he was sitting down or otherwise… well it would be rather embarrassing to say the least.
"So do you." He replied. She looked so surprised that he said that. Well, he couldn't help the facts.
"I do? You do, too." She said smiling that beautiful smile of hers. All of a sudden there was this magnetic charge attracting him to her luscious lips.
*End of Flashback*
Man how different things would have been if Tea didn't interrupt them. He thought that maybe the two of them would be together or they would have tried to forget the entire thing ever happened. She would have been his first kiss if it did happen that is. All of a sudden he heard his parents coming down the hall. He got off the bed and shoved them in his back pocket. Wiping his hands on his pants, he then greeted them. From the look on their faces they had no idea what was going on with him let alone that anything was different from normal. That was good since he really didn't want anyone to know what was going on in his messed up brain. He didn't know what in the world was wrong with him but his mind seemed like a roller coaster, going one direction one minute then all of a sudden changing course. His parents didn't even seem to notice his distraction and not too much later they had to leave anyways. The time went by very quickly and before you knew it they were leaving and on their way home. His mom just kept going on and on about his dad and their upcoming wedding. She kept on going until they got home.
"I'm just going to bed mom." Matthew said.
She glanced at him a bit puzzled. "Already? Are you sure your ok, sweetheart?" She asked.
"Yeah I'm fine," He lied, "just had a long day."
"Oh yeah I forgot you had rehearsal today too, sweetie. You go on to bed." She said kissing the top of his head.
He then went into his room and checked his phone to see if he got any new voice mails or texts. Matthew then saw he had two new texts, both from Destiny. Man he couldn't get her out of his head not even for a minute. The first one was asking him to tell his dad that she hoped he got better and the second one said that she hoped he was doing well and I'll see you tomorrow. He sent her a quick reply and then turned off his phone. Then he quickly changed into his bed wear and soon fell asleep thoughts echoing in his mind.
*Dream*
He awoke to find himself in his bedroom and heard the shower running. As soon as the noise was there it was gone. He got out of his chair and looked to the bathroom door wondering who the hell was in his bathroom because the last thing he could remember was falling asleep alone in his bed, not his chair. Matthew looked up at the sound of the bathroom door opening and out walked Destiny in a towel her bra straps clearly showing.
"Destiny, what are you doing here?" He asked confused.
"You mean you don't remember last night, weird." She replied then talking off her towel standing there in nothing a black lacy bra with matching panties.
Matthew just stood there he couldn't keep his eye off her body, lingering on certain areas more than others. He felt himself being very turned on by her right now even more than before.
"It seems like someone is excited." She said looking him up and down. He too looked down and noticed his erection straining against his jeans.
"I just can't help myself." He said blushing.
"No need to be embarrassed it's not like I haven't seen it before." Destiny replied chuckling.
"So we?" He asked looking deeply into her eyes.
"Oh yeah multiple times and that was just last night." She said smirking.
"Wow." He replied.
"That's one word for it, and it seems like a certain somebody wants more."Destiny said looking down.
"Definitely." Matthew replied in some sort of trance.
"So then do I have to kiss you or are you going to do it?" She asked flirtatiously.
"Does this answer your question?" He asked coming up to her and kissing her.
Man this was incredible like he felt sparks when their lips touched. Not much longer he parted his mouth and soon his tongue was on her lips begging for her to part them and when she did oh man it was like heaven she tasted that good. It became what seemed like forever before either of them broke apart. Destiny was the one to stop, he could feel her breathing heavily as he reached out and touched her chest causing her to moan. That officially was his new favorite sound.
"You have way too much clothes on." She said running her hand over his shirt causing electric sparks within him.
"Then we have to take care of that don't we?" Matthew replied flirtatiously.
Destiny took it from there placing her hands at his waist and hastily pulled off his shirt. After pausing a second to look at his chest she made her way to his pants, first unbuttoning them and then she tugged down his zipper and pulled down his pants. He immediately felt the relief from his constricting pants, kicking them off to the side. They resumed to their previous activity of making out but soon that wasn't enough.
"Need More." He groaned feeling the strain against his boxer shorts.
"Let's change that then." She replied tugging down his boxer shorts letting his erection spring free.
Matthew sighed of relief noticing her licking her plump, juicy lips at the sight. She then started placing kisses on his chest, and then began alternating between sucking the two causing him to moan.
"Now whose wearing too much clothes." He said when he was finally able to control himself.
"Why don't you do something about it then?" She said flirtatiously a grin spread across her face. He groaned, reaching and unhooking her bra letting it fall to the floor. His grazed lingered appreciatively at her large breasts and her rock hard nipples.
"Beauty in its finest form." He said panting. Matthews's mouth latched onto one while his hand went to the other. He could hear her moaning his name louder and louder as his mouth and hand alternated from the two.
"Need more." Destiny moaned. He removed his hand and mouth reluctantly from her chest and proceeded to rip off her underwear. Matthew then noticed that she was dripping wet.
"Looks like I'm not the only one who gets excited." Matthew said grinning.
"What can I say; you make me really really horny." She smirked. He then kissed her pushing her onto the bed. They made for what seemed like eternity when he broke apart from her grabbing a condom off the nightstand and sheathed himself. She parted and he plunged into her causing them both to have intense orgasms. They continued making love for a couple more hours before falling asleep.
*Present*
Matthew then woke up sheathed in sweat. What the hell was that? Since when did he have sex dreams about Destiny? He sprang out of bed noticing the stain on his boxers and his hard on. Great, time to take a cold shower then he turned off his alarm already awake for the day anyways. He walked into the bathroom shutting the door behind him. Great, just what he needed to start the day off.
