Chapter 12

An hour later there was a knock on my door.

"Amy, you answer it, I can't, I just suddenly became nervous." I whispered, as we were finishing up some last minute "getting ready."

"Sure. Grab my purse for me on the way out." She asked heading for the door in huge black heels.

"Yeah, I nodded, giving myself the once over in the bedroom mirror, and quickly spraying myself with more A&F perfume. I then grabbed both of our purses, and headed for the door.

Amy was entertaining Jeff and Matt when I pulled the door closed behind myself. Matt and Jeff were standing with their backs to me and quickly spun around to see me. I smiled timidly.

"Hey guys, ready to go?" I asked, looking up at both of their wide eyes.

"Wow, Maria, you look beautiful." Jeff breathed.

"And, look, we match, we both have red on." Jeff smiled to himself.

Matt stood beside his brother and smiled a sly smile, "you do look nice." He swallowed hard.

"Why thank you Matt, an actual complement." I smiled, blushing like crazy.

"And you look great yourself." I said.

"Jeff, you too, I think we made the right choice with the red, since we do match, would you like to escort me downstairs?" I asked, looking up into his blue/green eyes.

"Of course, I would love to." Jeff said, hooking arms with me, as we strode down to the elevator.

He looked back at Matt and Amy, and winked. The two smiled and followed.

"Shall we?" Matt asked Amy, holding out his arm to hook with hers. They followed us down the hallway. I could feel Matt's eyes staring me up and down as we walked.

"You like her don't you?" Amy asked, following his gaze to me.

"No, why does everyone keep asking me that? I just think she looks great tonight." Matt whispered loudly to her.

"Whatever you say, Matt, whatever you say." She smiled to herself, as she knew that Matt was lying.
