Chapter forty-two
Matt
I wanna fucking kill the dude.
I thought I would let karma take its course but it seems that he needs to learn his lesson NOW.
That shit he pulled with Dr. Franklin was not cool.
That was out of fucking line.
And I don't know if he knows but I can get real creative when it comes to payback.
Right now, though, Novah, my goddess of a girlfriend, is staring right at me, with no panties on, and it's hard to concentrate on revenge when an angel is sitting on my lap.
"Matt, one more thing," Novah says.
"Yes?" I stare at her beautiful face.
I've seen her darker side.
I know behind that pretty face there is a dark side.
I've seen how she talks about things.
She's a pessimist, just like me.
She sees the darkness in things, as well as the light.
And I know about her secret fantasies....
I trace her jawline with my finger as she stares at me inquisitively.
There's something on her mind.
"Matt, if you and Ezra have known each other for a long time, then how are you just now getting a bad feeling about him?"268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVinl6rC4WD
She's smart.
"I've known Ezra for a long time, doesn't mean we necessarily like each other,"
"Why wouldn't you like each other?" she asks, that detective face on.
She wants to be a lawyer and I know she'll be damn good at it.
"I've never trusted him completely," I say staring into those exotic eyes, "And him showing up here doesn't make me trust him anymore. He hasn't done anything to make me distrust him, I just don't think he is to be trusted. Understand?"268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OdIy5zOXf
As much as I protect her from the truth, I think she knows more than she lets on.
"I guess. But I just don't understand. Why you two act....weird. Is there some history I don't know about?" she asks with a sly smile.
She always likes to try and find out more. She likes secrets. Underlying factors.
"Maybe...." I say vaguely, "But I have history with everyone. I thought you'd know that by now,"
I kiss her pouty face.
Her arms are crossed.
She wants more.
More information.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh22ZRH7Po
She'll probably go asking around. Maybe even ask Ezra.
But what's buried will stay in the fucking ground.
"Okay? Now, Go do your thing. We don't want to miss the beach,"
She wipes her suspicious face off and swallows her doubts.
"Fine. But I want to know how you two met and everything. Or I'll go ask Ezra,"
What did I tell you?
Only thing is, I have no intention of letting her find out anything.
I kiss her briefly before handing her her ripped panties.
She gasps.
"Matt, what happened to my fucking panties?"
She holds up the ripped black garment.
I laugh in response. "I was excited, okay?"
She huffs. "So was I. You don't see me ripping your shit up,"
I laugh again.
"Hey, I'd be okay if you did,"
She rolls her eyes and huffs.
"Just put em on, Novah. I'll buy you new ones,"
She narrows her eyes at me.
"Don't you dare,"
I laugh at her anger.
She's adorable when she's angry. Not to mention hot.
"I'm so scared...." I say sarcastically.
"Fuck you,"
I clutch my stomach and continue laughing.
I look over at her where she is sitting, arms crossed over her chest, with a not-so-friendly expression.
"Lighten up, babe...." I say and touch her arm.
She slaps my arm and I continue laughing.
"Ouch, that hurt....." I say sarcastically.
"Go to the gym, asshole," she says and pulls the panties on.
"Aww c'mon. I'm sorry. I'll get you new ones, baby,"
"Don'tbuy me anything else. Seriously,"
"Okay, I won't," I give in to her strange demands. As her boyfriend, I should be able to buy her whatever the hell I want.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6CTbCAQNh
Her face softens a bit.
"Speaking of buying you things, Where's your jewelry?"
I want to see her wearing the things I bought her. I want her to have nice things too.
Lord knows she deserves it much more than I do.
"Upstairs. I'll put them on when I go up," she tells me.
She leans across the seat and plants a kiss on my cheek.
"I love you. Have fun at the gym,"
"Love you too,"
She steps gets out of the car and tugs her dress down, smiling at me.
"Stay out of trouble, you," she scolds.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54fF4Qrhck
I laugh. "Do I ever?"
"Bye-bye, cutie," she says and closes the door.
I sit there smiling for at least two minutes.
How the fuck did I get so lucky?
I reverse out of the parking spot.
Gym time.268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjHYeWI7pX
