Chapter 22
Matt, Angela and Jeff and Lita stood together talking softly. Angela was snuggling silently against Matt, as he held her close trying to help keep her warm. Lita and Jeff began making out again behind them.
Matt glanced away from Angela as he heard a loud laughing. He saw the rest of the group getting out of Chris’ van laughing and goofing around. They came over and got inline with them. The commotion and the laughing and talking was so exciting.
Matt was standing behind Angela, talking to Shane. As Angela was talking to Molly. Matt had glanced at her and saw her shivering again, he noticed that she was rubbing her hands together trying to keep them warm. She looked so cute, he smiled, he whispered to
Shane that he’d be back. Shane had followed Matt’s eyes toward Angela and knew from talking to Jay that he really liked her. He motioned for Molly, and she shrugged looking at him from infront of Angela. She said something quick to her and Angela giggled. Then Molly left coming back towards Shane. Matt smiled at Molly as she walked past him touching his shoulder quickly.
Matt sighed as he came up behind Angela and leaned close to her face as he slid his arms around her waist hugging her close against him. She glanced back at him surprised as he whispered, “You still cold?” He asked smiling sweetly at her as she sighed grinning at him. She shook her head, she could feel his breath on her face, it felt so warm. She turned quickly snuggling against him. Matt held her gently, he let go of her after a few moments and took both of her hands, and started rubbing them between his trying towarm them.
“I’m sorry your still cold…” Matt whispered as Angela stared at him.
She shrugged, “I’m a little better now...” She said smiling at him.
Matt’s heart beat faster watching her, she was so gorgeous, he finally had her in his arms, and she felt so good! He dreaded having to let go of her.
He was still holding Angela when the line started moving. Matt glanced down at her and smiled, “Soon we’ll be inside and it’ll be warm...” Matt whispered softly.
Angela smiled at him biting her bottom lip gently. Matt smiled as he let go of her and took her hand.
About 10 minutes later Matt was walking inside the Underground holding onto Angela’s hand.
Matt and Angela followed Jeff and Lita to a table in the corner of the club. Lita and Jeff said that they were gonna go get a drink and they’d meet up with them in a little while. Matt was helping Angela take off her jacket when he glanced around the club quickly and saw wrestling people everywhere. They had all showed up for Angela’s welcoming celebration. Matt felt happy that so many of them had showed up.
The club was packed, it was hot and the air was filled with smoke, and the sound of the music, laughing and talking was all that could be heard. It was very exciting to Matt who hadn’t been out dancing for a while, let alone feel like he was there with someone.
Matt set Angela’s jacket on an empty chair as he pulled a chair out for her. She smiled at him as she sat. Matt pulled a chair up and sat down next to her. They were sitting in the corner of the clubb holding each others hands silently looking around.
Matt glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, seeing that she was laughing at Rob Van Dam who was break dancing on the dance floor trying to get Stacy’s attention. Matt himself couldn’t help chuckling as he watched how dumb he looked.
Matt sighed squeezing her still cold hands. He looked at her as she smiled at him. Matt started to rub her hands again. “Do you wanna go get a drink?” Matt asked leaning close to her so she could hear him over the music.
She smiled at him, “Sure.” She said standing.
Matt got up and slid his arm around her waist. When they got over to the bar, they saw Lita and Jeff alone in the corner at the end of the bar making out again. Matt laughed softly as he looked away from them. Matt took Angela’s hand as they leaned next to each other at the bar, trying to decide what to have to drink.
Matt frowned staring at the menu on the wall. “I dunno what to have,” Matt said softly as Angela giggled.
Matt sighed, smiling as he remembered what she had said to Jay and Adam earlier that evening about what kinda beer drinker she was. White wine kinda girl- his favorite type he thought as he glanced over at her. Matt smiled, “What do you want?” He asked whispering in her ear. Angela looked at him. Her heart was pounding, she was looking at what she wanted. Nothing in the world but him!
She sighed, “I’m not sure yet!” She said as she read out loud a couple drinks on the menu.
Matt smiled, “White wine?” He asked softly as she stared at him. He remembered her half joking comment early. She blushed staring at him, he was so sweet!
She leaned against him giggling, “Matt you’re so… cute... I mean... you remembered that? You’re so sweet...” Angela giggled smiling at him. he was everything she wanted, nothing else, just him!
She thought he was cute, and sweet, Matt felt like doing a somersault, he was so happy. He sighed grinning at her, “I was thinking that about you…” He whispered watching her eyes sparkle. Matt watched a wisp of her bangs fall into her eyes. Matt reached over with his other hand and pushed it away gently, letting his fingers brush across her cheek. Matt’s touch made her shiver, his hands were so soft and warm.
Angela ached to kiss him. Her mind was racing, she prayed he would just kiss her so this agony could be over, she didn’t care any longer about not believing in trust, she trusted him with her whole heart. She just wanted to feel him kissing her, she wanted him to say things to her that she’d only read in his eyes.
They were both trapped in the touch and in the moment. Matt was longing to kiss her and she ached for him to do so!
Nothing could have ruined the moment. Suddenly they were startled when the big fat bar tender slammed his fist down on the counter yelling, “What can I get you?” He asked counting the wad of money in his hands.
Matt looked away from Angela to the man, he shook his head, “We’re not sure yet…” Matt said mumbling.
The fat bar tender rolled his eyes, “Lemme know when your ready!” He said as he wattled away.
Matt sighed as he looked back at Angela. He frowned watching what looked like disappointment in her eyes. He squeezed her hand, then shrugged, “Sorry ‘bout him...” Matt said pausing, “I think I’m gonna have a brandy, you know what you want yet?” Matt asked letting go of her hand as he slowly slide his arms around her waist and stared up at the menu. Matt’s cheek was touching Angela’s, Matt was so glad she was there.
Angela sighed whispering as she picked her hands up from her sides and hugged his arms tighter around her. “Well I think I might just have a white wine after all.” She said giggling as Matt smiled at her.
