Chereads / When Sparks Fly (Us#1) / Chapter 24 - 15. "I don't care...."

Chapter 24 - 15. "I don't care...."

It feels like every other story....a couple is rich...then the boyfriend's stupid ex interrupts...Mine is the same.

After his very heartfelt apology, we ate our food and joked to lighten the mood around us. I could see him looking lost...as if thinking deeply. What I gathered was that he was surprised, shocked, and angry at his ex and then he regretted what she said to me, and of course, because of this, his plans were canceled.

"Theo, umm...should we head back now?" I asked him as he stared straight towards the sinking sun.

"Hmm...yeah...let's go." He said as he got up.

"Theo....look....it's okay...whatever happened wasn't your fault. She wanted this, she wanted you to feel guilty and me to feel jealous...and you are helping her achieve this. You know, people who leave you, never really love you....but don't worry I am not leaving you ...Yet" I said, joking at last.

He looked at me but he wasn't smiling or laughing...he was crying.

"I won't let you go, even if you wanted to," he said with a deep, strained voice.

It started raining...heavily and We both were soaked before we even knew it.

"God, you are an angel..." he said as he lifted me and kissed me passionately.

We broke apart after we were fully drenched. My dress had gone all see-through and Mattheo seemed to enjoy the view. I slapped his arm playfully, and that's when he gave me his shirt.

We rode in the rain, as it got heavier and heavier. We reached our hotel in about an hour. The hotel staff brought warm coats for us as we entered. "Perks of being a billionaire huh ?" I thought. We boarded the elevator to reach our suite. We reached our suite when we saw a young hotel staff boy approaching us with a letter in his hand.

"Good Day sir and ma'am, here's a letter addressed to you two."

"Thanks, man !" Mattheo said.

"No problem at all sir," he said with a smile. Both of us smiled politely in return as he went back.

"Who's it from ?" I asked

"The bitch" Mattheo said angrily as he tore open the letter.

"Oh...umm...okay...anyways I am going to change," I said calmly...hiding that I was feeling hurt and angered by that letter.

"Hmm." that's all he said.

I went into the room and took out my pj's. I had closed the door .... when I suddenly heard Mattheo saying "I messed up....bro...I need ya"

He was talking to ?.. Tom, Alex, or Ben?

"Really ?... Thanks, Mate... you are the second best !"

"It's Lizzie.."

"Okay...I don't care anyways" he chuckled.

"Yeah..see you...bye"

He rested his phone on the table as he went and sat down on the couch waiting for whoever he was talking to. I went and lay down, thoughts swarming and occupying my mind. Suddenly I heard footsteps, I felt as if Mattheo was coming to check on me so I turned and pretended to be asleep. The door opened and I felt the mattress pushed down and a hand caress my cheek and he whispered " I am so so so sorry for today baby, I know I messed up...but believe me when I say I am gonna make it right again" there was a pause before his confession nearly stopped my heart "I need you to please". He kissed my cheek, my hair, and my temple before he left the room and I heard the door creak shut.

Does he really care for me that much?

But it's only been a few weeks...

We only said 2 months to make Brit think we are a thing.

I am confused

Is he really caring or is he just apologizing?

After a few hours, when dawn breaks, I hear the scuffling of shoes, and slamming of doors followed by Mattheo's loud angry whispers of "HEY! SHE'S SLEEPING! DON'T WAKE HER UP.."

"Sorry sir, I'll be careful now..." said a woman's voice.

Wait, WOMAN ?!!

I had to check, I didn't like the idea of a lady in my suite with Theo while I was asleep though I trusted him but still. I went to the door and opened it with utmost patience so that he doesn't get to know that I am awake.

"Sir, should I start now ?" she said seductively.

"Yes...but hurry," Theo said impatiently.

Start what ??... No No No...Am I getting the wrong idea or it is what it is?

"She should not know about this until I am ready to tell her about it....you get that ?"

"Yes sir "

I was getting utterly disgusted by her sweet-sugary voice.

I sneaked out of the room to get a view of what was going on, I saw that she was the same staff person who was staring at Theo one day as if she will totally eat him up. The woman was fully dressed....and Theo too...and they were far away from one another. I waited for some more moments to notice the movements between either of them but no nothing.

After a few hours, she left. I retired to my room an hour ago. Not even 15 minutes have passed when I hear the door open and a man's voice.

"Brooooo...I missed you sooo much" it was Alex's voice.

"Me too! But let's get to business.....what should I do?" Theo's anxious voice filled my ears

"Do you love her ?" Alex asked

"Umm, I don't know "

"Okay....then let's check. Do you care for her?"

"Yes"

"To keep her safe, what can you put at stake? God, it rhymes " Alex chuckles.

"My life. My Reputation. My Money or Wealth. That's what I can put at stake to keep her safe."

"Oh my god.....wow....okay...next question, Do you still like any of your exes or think about them ?"

"No, not since the past year....and absolutely not since Liz came into my life."

"YOU LOVE HER !!"

"Shhh....keep your voice down...she's sleeping."

"Uhh-hunn"

"But shit...I do love her"

That's when I realized that I was out of the room just beside the door, I didn't even know that just to hear them clearly I crept out. Damn! Alex saw me & raised an eyebrow as I pretended to have just woken up. Then I open my eyes wide in realization as I see Mattheo looking at me in surprise and I said "Wait what ??... You L-love me ?"

"Yes," Mattheo said without hesitation as he looked me straight in the eyes.

"But isn't it too soon for you guys...I mean....it's only been a couple of weeks !" Alex exclaimed with an amused look on his face.

"Oh...listen Mister...It was love at first sight...okay ?" Theo explains, his face red from all the blushing. I mean...Who could've thought that MATHHEO GREY would be blushing...?...This thought made me laugh inside but I knew I was smiling.

Theo turned back and looked at me ..."It wasn't love at first sight for you ?"

"Umm....kinda it was...I mean...I don't know about it" I said stammeringly while my own cheeks were on fire.

"Such lies you tell Elizabeth, YOU don't know about LOVE at FIRST SIGHT ?... Stoppp Girll! " My inner self said.

Well, I mean...okay, I lied but it was for his good somehow. I can't tell him, I can't do this.

"Okay, unexpected but at least you like him ?"

"Umm, yeah Theo's great...but I don't like him "

"Huh? You don't ?" Theo asked me with puppy eyes and a heartbroken look in his eyes.

"No, I don't like you...I umm...I love you" I speak shyly with a smile playing on my lips.

"Awww...I love you too babe" Theo said as he hugged me and kissed my temple.

"How cliche...I mean....this way of expressing your love is so old Beth." Alex said as he rolled his eyes at our romantic scene.

"I don't care what way she used to express her love for me," Theo said with an extra emphasis on me as he squinted his eyes at Alex.

"Oh sure, Romeo," Alex said as I start to chuckle.

"Okay, now I am going to cook breakfast. Gentlemen, please take a seat at the dining table." I said as I start to the kitchen cum dining room. Suddenly, Mattheo stops me and says "Wait, umm.. Can we order from outside today ?"

There was some anxiety and weirdness in his voice and that surprised me. But I agreed and we ordered some Chinese and Mexican food along with Pizza and headed to the couch as we chose a movie to watch. It was Titanic.

As we took a break to throw out the trash, Mattheo and Alex came up with the idea of enacting the scenes of Titanic before we continued.

"Jack, draw me like one of your french girls," Alex said in a high-pitched voice and his body language made me laugh.

"Sure, Darling !" Theo replied as he pretend to take the brush out of his teeth's grasp & started to paint on an invisible canvas.

I slapped Theo's arm and said dramatically "I am your only darling...okay?"

"Yeah baby," Alex said as he gave me a kiss.

"Okay enough of you guys...you are making me feel sooo single and lonely," Alex said making a sad face.

"Awww...my poor best friend...don't worry we will find someone for you," Theo said with a smile.

"Thanks, man...you are the best but I don't need you to find someone for me...I can choose from the neverending list of options I have.." Alex smirked.

"Ahh...you are an impossible idiot," Theo said making an annoyed face.

"Shut up dumbo" Alex retorted still having that smug face.

"Hey, what about Taylor huh?" i asked Alex as he very obviously liked my bsf.

"Uh yeah she's there, she's one but idk if she feels the same way about me," he said with a sad smile. I gave him an encouraging pat and said "maybe she does".

Before he could reply I started Titanic again and then within a second, we all were quietly watching the movie.

We completed the movie around 11. And as our suite has 2 rooms, we give one to Alex, me and Theo shared.

As I and he cuddled together I realized it was the first time I have been so close to his heart, his mind, and him.....
