Chapter 8
I felt like my whole life had turned to shit in the space of a couple of hours! I stood in my room after Mary had left & I just stared out of the window! I didn't believe this was happening - now not only had I pissed Sarah off but Mary thought I was some sort of little whore too! Just what I needed right now!! I wouldn't mind but only the night before Sarah had sat there & told me how her & Matt were nothing serious & she gave me the impression she'd rather be dating his brother anyway!! So what did she care who Matt was seeing?!?!!
My cell phone rang. When I picked it up the screen said 'Number witheld'. "strange!' I thought, but I answered it anyway!
"Hello?"
"Hi! This is Matt Hardy! Your number was on my caller display and I was wondering if I could help you with anything?"
"Matt?"
"Yes, this is matt Hardy!"
"It's me! It's Bec!"
"Bec?? Oh wow! Right! Sorry about that, just sometimes we get some weird calls sometimes so I always call missed numbers back!"
"I didn't call you!"
"Well....this number is on our display here!"
"But...I don't even have your number!!"
"You don't?"
"No!"
"You didn't get it from Sarah or anyone there?"
"No! Oh on the subject of Sarah I think I might have caused some hassel there for you & I want to appologise in advance!"
"Hassel?"
"Yeah..oh sorry erm...trouble y'know?"
"Oh right trouble!"
"Well I just wanted you to know I didn't say anything bad - what I said was taken completely the wrong way & she is pissed!!"
"Oh right...how come?"
"It's along story but I just want to say I'm sorry before she turns up on your doorstep about to strangle you!!"
"I wouldn't be too concerned about Sarah - she tends to be a drama queen!" he laughed. "You sound a little down...everything alright?"
"Yeah...no...well..."
"Wanna get out of there for a few hours?"
"You're a mind reader! But no you're in enough trouble with Sarah as it is..."
"Ah screw Sarah! Come out with me! I'll be outside in ten minutes!"
"Matt....ok but listen, don't come to the house, meet me at the gates ok?"
"Sure thing! See you soon!"
I hung up the phone & my heart raced, but for once it wasn't from being scared! I was excited! I had to sneak out of the house so Mary or Sarah didn't ask questions & for a few minutes I actually forgot about all the shitty things that had been happening lately....until I was halfway along the tree-lined drive way, in the pitch black night....all alone!!
"Shit!" I said under my breath & quickened my pace. An owl screeched somewhere in the trees & I walked even quicker trying to stay calm.
"Pssssst!" came a voice from the bushes at the road side.
"Matt?" I squinted into the bushes but it was too dark, "I told you to wait at the gate!" I said & stepped closer to the bushes. I pushed some leaves away from my face & saw an outstretched arm reaching for my hand. "I can't come in there!" I giggled, "Come on out!!" The hand gestured for me to come closer & grab hold. "Ok but you are crazy y'know that!? I'm gonna get totally filth..."
"Bec?" I jumped when I heard the voice comming from behind me...it was Matt!!! I turned & stared at him in disbelief! "What are you doing in the bushes?!" he laughed.
I quickly turned back but the outstretched arm had gone. "HOLY FUCK!!" I screamed & threw myself at Matt! "GO! Go NOW!!! Quickly!!" I started to run towards the gates dragging him behind me!
"What's going on?!" He asked when we got into his car. I was gasping for breath while I explained what I'd just seen!
".....and I thought it was just you pissing around! My God Matt I almost grabbed hold of that hand!" I shivered at the thought!
"Jesus!" He shook his head & reached over to grap hold of my hand that was shaking from the cold & the fright! "Right we're going to the police! This has gone too far & someone is going to get hurt! You're in danger Bec!!"
"Matt no! Please!" Jesus this was his brother he could be condeming here & he'd never forgive me!! "I just want to forget this for a few hours! I've had a shitty couple of days! Getting to know you is the only good thing that's happened to me since I got to this damn country!! I just want to go out & get extremely drunk!"
He looked into my eyes & again I found myself locked in his gaze! If he'd asked me again to go to the police at that moment I think I'd have agreed to anything!
"Ok ok! I'm not sure this is the right thing to do....but, if this is what you want then I guess...if I dont let you out of my sight tonight nothing can happen can it?!" he smiled warmly at me & I smiled back!
"I guess not! You can be my personal body guard for the night!" I chuckled!
"And ooooh what a body to guard!" Matt winked!
"MATT!" I laughed but I was secretly feeling things for him that I'd never felt for anyone in a long time! I felt strangely alive & excited! Mick wasn't even an afterthought! I pushed him so far out of my mind it was like I never even met him! At that point in time I was trying not to think of anything at all! Too much had happened in such a short span of time & if I dwelled on it too much I'd go crazy!!
I looked over at Matt while he was driving, trying to catch a glimpse of his profile every time we passed under a street light without him noticing! After a few minutes he turned & smiled at me & I smiled back!
"Where are we going?!"
"For a drink! figured you could do with a stiff one!"
I Burst out laughing! "Yeah I could do with a drink aswell!!" I chuckled.
"Madam! I don't know what you mean!" Matt said trying to act shocked!! "I've never heard such filth from such a pretty mouth!!" he winked.
"Seriously yeah I could do with several drinks actually!!"
"Well m'lady your wish is my command!" He turned the car into the parking lot of a pub.
Once inside we sat down at a table & just looked at each other.
"WHAT?!" We both said at the same time & then laughed!
"It's good to see you smile!" he said.
I took a big gulp of my drink, "I'll be smiling all night after a few more of these!" I laughed. "What's with the coke?"
"Driving aren't I?!"
"Ah right...that's a shame!"
"Not really! I like being in the company of a drunken young lady!" he smirked.
"Still....couldn't we get a cab or something?!"
"Are you trying to get me tipsy young woman!?" He said in his best 'British' accent! I giggled. "I guess we could call a cab, if that's what you want?!"
"Yeah go on! It's no fun getting drunk on your own!" I said & he laughed. "Well go on then....get a real drink!!" I smiled to myself as I watched him go back to the bar!
Several drinks later we both staggered outside, slightly worse for wear to look for a cab.
"You are so wasted!" I giggled.
"Says you!!" said Matt & gave me a playful shove! I guess he didn't know his own strength (or I was drunker than I thought which was more probable!) because I fell ass first into a huge muddy puddle!! I sat there feeling the water soak through my jeans & I thought it was hillarious!! Matt bent to help me up so I pulled him in with me! He grabbed me & tried to rub my face in the dirt - we laughed so much I begged for mercy!
"Ok Ok!" he laughed.
Our faces were an inch apart & he leaned in to kiss me. His lips brushed agaibst mine & then he kissed my cheek.
"I can't do this!" I whispered. I suddenly felt very sober! He looked into my eyes & again brushed his lips lightly over mine & I gasped.
"It's ok!" he breathed deeply, "It's ok!" Our lips touched again, slightly firmer than before.
"Please..." I whispered, "...don't do this...we can't!" I ran my fingers through his thick hair. God I wanted him so much yet I couldn't bring myself to do it!
He bent slightly & softly kissed my neck, taking my breath away. Then he took hold of my chin in his hand & pulled my face towards his, I couldn't stop him! I didn't want to! But I knew in my heart it was so wrong, that's probably why it felt so good! Our lips pressed together hard.
"Did someone call for a cab?!"
We parted & looked at each other. "I guess we did huh?" Matt smiled.
"Saved by the bell!" I sighed & got to my feet.
The cab driver took one look at us & reached in the trunk to get a rug to put over the back seat! I was just about to climb into the cab when Matt stopped me & turned me to face him.
"I need to do something before we get in the cab!" he said & he pressed his body firmly against mine, took my face in both of his hands & bent down to kiss me. Our lips were almost touching...
"MATT?"
"Fucking hell!!!" Matt said frustrated & I laughed...until I saw it was Steve....................with Jeff!
I felt like my whole life had turned to shit in the space of a couple of hours! I stood in my room after Mary had left & I just stared out of the window!
