A Little Piece Of Heaven

First Impressions and Relationships

Chapter Fourteen:

I knocked hesitantly on Matt’s door. The door swung open and he smiled.

“I’m glad you could make it. I’m sorry if this turns into an interrogation. Mom’s excited to meet you.” He apologized. He took my hand and helped me inside. “Glad you’re here, man.” He told Jace. He laughed and we followed Matt into the kitchen. This place looks so much different when everything isn’t dark. We walked in and I spotted Brian chatting with a really pretty woman that has the same eyes that Matt does. She beamed and rushed over to hug me. I hugged her back, after the surprise wore off.

“You must be Angela. You’re gorgeous. It’s so nice to meet you. I’ve been bugging Matt to bring you over since he took you out.” She gushed. I smiled. I like her, already. She’s just one of those people that you feel instantly comfortable around.

“It’s nice to meet you. Matt’s told me a lot about you.” I told her. That’s not too much of a stretch from the truth. He has told me some about her.

“Where are my manners? I’m Denise.” She told me, pulling away. “Why don’t you sit down? Dinner will be ready in a few minutes. I’d like to hear more about you.” She told me. I nodded.

“Sounds good.”

“Matt aren’t you going to offer our guests something to drink?” She asked, sternly. I chuckled.

“Sure, you guys want anything?” He asked. I nodded.

“Anything is fine.” I told him.

“Are you okay with tea?” He asked.

“Sweet or unsweet?” I asked. He smirked.

“Unsweet, mom doesn’t like all the sugar.”

“Perfect.” I told him.

“Water?” Jace asked.

“You got it.” Matt got the drinks and Denise started putting food on the table.

“Are you sure you don’t want help with anything?” I offered. She shook her head.

“I’ve got it covered, but thank you.” She smiled. We all sat down and started ladling food onto our plates. She made chicken and it smells delicious. We ate in a comfortable silence. Brian and Matt cracked some jokes that everyone laughing. This is nice. After we were done eating I helped Matt clear the table and clean up. “You don’t have to do that.” Denise told me.

“I don’t mind.” I told her. She smiled.

“I like her.” She told Matt. He chuckled. We got the dishes done in no time.

“We need desert.” Brian voiced. I laughed.

“I brought cookies.” I told him.

“You know what would go well with cookies?” He asked.

“Ice cream,” he and Jace said in unison. I giggled. “We’ll go get some.” And they left. Leaving us with Denise. She sat down on the couch and we followed suit.

“Tell me about yourself. Matt has only told me the basics.” She told me.

“What do you want to know?” I asked her.

“Tell me about your parents.” She told me. I nodded.

“My mom passed away a few years ago. I live with my stepfather. My real dad lives in San Diego. He’s in the music business.” I told her. She nodded.

“What does your stepfather do?” She asked.

“He’s an opportunist. He’s an entrepreneur. Mainly, he’s the president of a major law firm, but he used to be an architect. He travels a lot, trying to set up new locations in different areas of the world. He dabbles in a lot of different types of business. He doesn’t tell me too much about his work.” I told her.

“Would I know him?” She asked. I shrugged.

“His name is Eric Stronghold. My father’s name is Jared Morgan.” I told her. She nodded.

“I’ve heard of them both. I’m sorry to hear about your mother.” She touched my hand, tentatively.

“It’s alright. It was a while ago.” I told her.

“Do you enjoy school?” She asked.

“I don’t know if I enjoy it, so much as I do my best so I can get out quicker.” I told her. She cracked a smile.

“I was the same way. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do until I was a couple years into college. I think I changed majors three times.” She told me. I nodded.

“I’m honestly not sure what I want to pursue, right now. I think I’ll take a few writing classes, for sure. I’ve already sent all my applications out to schools.” I told her.

“What do you like to do in your free time?” She asked.

“I read a lot. I write some. I like to shop, hang out with Jace and his mom. I’m not very exciting.” I told her. She laughed.

“It’s overrated.” She told me. “I don’t want you to be a stranger. You’re welcome over here, anytime.” She told me.

“Thank you.”

“Are you going to prom?” She asked me. I shrugged.

“I doubt it. I haven’t been asked. Sometimes I’ll go with friends and we’ll mock everything, but I don’t see that happening, this time.” I told her. She gave Matt the look.

“Maybe someone will ask you.” She spoke mostly to her son than to me. He rolled his eyes.

“Subtle, mom. Really subtle.”

“It’s part of my charm.” She smiled. “I’m going to go get ready for work. Let me know when the boys get back with the ice cream. I’ll let you two chat.” She excused herself. Matt got up.

“Let’s go talk in my room.” He helped me up and led me to his room. It’s much cleaner today. The bed is even made. He sat down and patted the spot next to him. I sat down. “I appreciate you coming over, tonight. It means a lot to her.”

“I had fun. If my mom was like her, I’d have people over all the time.” I told him. He smiled and tucked a lock of hair behind my ear. He leaned forward and kissed me. I closed my eyes and leaned into the kiss. “Should we be doing this?” I asked him. He nodded.

“They’ll let us know when they get back. And Mom won’t come in here without knocking first.” He told me.

“Oh, okay.” I told him. He pulled me onto his lap. I kissed him, hesitantly. He tangled a hand in my hair and pulled my lips back to his. I gasped against his mouth. Our mouths got really familiar, really fast. I don’t know how long we were in there for, but it felt like minutes. He’s the best kind of distraction. He put his hands on my back and held me tighter. I winced and pulled away.

“Are you okay?” He asked. He felt on my back, softly. I winced, again, unable to stop myself. “What happened?” He asked me. I shrugged.

“I fell down the stairs at Jace’s the other day. I must’ve bruised something.” I told him, smoothly. Shit.

“If there’s something else going on, you can tell me.” He told me. I nodded.

“Hey, what is this?” I asked him.

“What do you mean?”

“Are we just fooling around? Or does this mean something? I mean, I haven’t really done any of this before.” I explained.

“I don’t just hook up with girls, to hook up.” He told me. I shrugged.

“We don’t really know each other. And you haven’t answered my question.” I reminded him.

“I want this to be something.” He told me. I nodded.

“What?”

“I don’t want to see anyone else.”

“Neither do I.”

“Are you my girl, then?”

“What are you asking me, exactly?”

“Will you be my girlfriend?” He asked. I giggled.

“Sure. I’d love to.” I told him. This time I kissed him, hard. He held me to him, careful not to press on my injuries. We stayed entangled until someone banged on his bedroom door.

“Open up, love-birds. We have ice cream.” Jace shouted. I chuckled and climbed off of his lap and opened the door.
