Just wanted to thank everyone for their replies and alerts. It has been awhile since I wrote anything but I hope everyone enjoys the story. For once, I am chapters ahead from what I post and hopefully it will stay that way. I was going to post this part next week but I couldn't help myself. I'm eager to show off chapter three but I do need to pace myself so I have something new to be read.
Catherine smiled devilishly as she glanced over at Matt and back at Sora.
"This is so not like me!" Sora stomped her foot. "I need to just go and sit somewhere. Now I know why so many people take cold showers."
"Certain men can have that effect on a woman." Catherine patted Sora on the back with sympathy.
"I don't even know anything about him? What does he do? Does he do anything at all?"
"Quick back round information on the subject at hand." Catherine took a deep breath, "Matt has a younger brother who is still in school and currently is living with Matt. His name is Tk and he is a spitting image of his brother. Now, Matt is in a band called the Wolves and is very close to his weird, messed up but very much loved by me, band mates. He is considered famous but clearly unknown to you. Rich, famous and gorgeous makes him a wonderful catch for any female. He plays the bass. I am not sure what the difference between a guitar and a bass but he keeps telling me there is a difference in all guitars. He has this most wonderful vocal voice. He and his band write their own music; sometimes his brother will send him something. His brother is a fabulous writer as well. What else. His grandparents on his mother's side are French, reason he is here now. His grandparents have been long time friends with my family. I bet somewhere down our family tree there was even a marriage...well are you ready?"
"I can't do this." Sora placed her hands over her face. "I have never in my life picked up a guy before."
"Too late." Catherine placed her dimpled smile on, turned quickly around, and waved a hand slightly in the air. "Matt!" Matt turned towards the curly blonde and gave a brief nod before turning back to the small group which he was speaking to in order to excuse himself from the conversation as well as from the python of a girl who clinged to his arms. He walked over towards Catherine, politely nodding his head in acknowledgement to the people who made eye contact with him.
"Catherine." Matt bent down and placed a small kiss on the blonde's rosy cheek. Sora mentally sighed in hearing his deep soft voice melt through her.
"I've missed you." Catherine pouted reaching up and smoothing his dinner jacket.
"You were avoiding me, remember?" Matt lifted up an eyebrow. "Last time we spoken you caused a scene, in front of fifty people I add, on how you never wanted to see me again."
"Oh, right. Do you remember why?" Catherine bit the edge of her lip."I cannot seem to recall why but I am most positive that it was for a worthy reason and that the blame was entirely your fault."
"I will not remind you if you cannot remember." Matt winked at her.
"Ah, well yes I suppose I could see your side of it. However I always say that when I am upset with anyone and anyone who is my friend would know that I never actually mean what I say when I say it." Catherine fluttered her eyelashes dramatic bringing a grin to Matt and Sora's faces.
"Oh dear! Forgive me, Matt. I am being rude!" Catherine placed a hand on Sora's arm. "Matt this is my roommate, Sora. Sora, this is a dear friend of mine, Matt. Our families have been friends for well┘forever." Catherine blinked her pale blue eyes innocently.
"It is a pleasure to meet you Sora." Matt reached out for her hand, which she shakily placed into his.
"Likewise." Sora felt a blush creep up from her neck to her cheek.
"Sora is studying to be a designer here in Paris." Catherine continued smiling as Matt kept his eyes on the redhead."Paris is a beautiful place to study anything." Matt remarked.
"Yes. I am finding it out." Sora cleared her throat and with a quick encourage smile from Catherine, continued. "However, I've been living here for a year now and I have to admit that I haven't taken the advantage of the sights of yet."
"A year? I had no idea; Catherine must have kept you hidden." Matt glanced at his female friend.
"Nonsense. How could I hide anyone? My home is open to all my friends. You my dear just had been too busy for me." Catherine once again pouted.
"I attended all your parties." Matt reminded her.
"Oh, well you shouldn't blame her." Sora cut in. "I'm not much of a party person and I had avoided some of her parties."
"All of my parties not just some of my parties, but all of them. And may I add that you also skipped out in any possible romance that I had lined up for you."Catherine reminded her. "Really Matt, this girl is all study and no play. You must do me a favour and take her sight seeing."
"Catherine." Matt looked down at his glass of wine.
"No. I will not hear any excuses from either of you. Sora has become a dear friend of mine. I want bonding from you two! Now promise me that you will show her around and Sora you will not give me a no, understand."
"I don't want to be a bother, Catherine." Sora frowned. She was not too thrilled about trapping Matt into a date. That was how Catherine worked however, a quick plan forms in the girl's mind and she forgets to share it with her friends.
"I would enjoy the pleasure of taking you to see some of the sights, however I don't want..." Matt wanted to explain his situation to this girl, for reasons unknown to him other then it felt important.
"Matt is most famous, just not in your world. She really has been living a sheltered life, Matt. The most naive girl that I have ever had the opportunity to meet." Catherine rolled her eyes. "He is a musician and belongs to a band. He fears that any girl he innocently takes out will become his mistress on the tabloids. This, blemishing any kind of reputation you may have intact. However, we do not live in the eighteen hundreds so Sora shall survive. She has a strong soul. And, perhaps she can show you some of her designs." Catherine kept rambling. "Sora, Matt has a huge event coming up which he must dress up for and sadly he is lacks in that area. If it was not for me he would had waltzed in to this party wearing black jeans and some black, out-dated rock-n-roll t-shirt. Perhaps Sora is just what you need. She can dress you. Of course, I am suggesting a very innocent proposal. If you two take it to a higher, sexual level..."
"Catherine." Matt growled.
