It has been a while... (Matthew)

[Isabella Gaunt]

It was a bright sunny afternoon, finally summer. Bella had missed her brother to death and Matthew was like the closest thing to family she had right now. Ever since the beginning Matthew had always been there for her from the start. They had a thing for a while and still well do? She was so confused. She was also single now and she loved the life. Maybe being single was good for right now she wanted/ needed a break. Especially with what had happened with Adonis. Now that was a mess. Her heart felt like it had been torn open and ripped apart she didn’t think she could love another soul again. She had been back to her old ways like before. But, every time she had been around Matthew he had changed her, she felt different, special. Maybe he was the one? Who knew? They were still young right? I mean things can change plus he still had Anabelle. Boy was life screwed up in so many ways.

Bella had sent Matthew a letter a while ago telling him that she wasn’t pregnant and it was miscarriage. She was devastated for sure but, it happens right? She got over it. She was in her manor getting ready she felt like since it was summer she had been in a flowery print dress style. She had designed her own line towards the end of the school year she met up with a few fashion designers and it went off with a hit. She was rather proud of herself. A young girl her age starting off good as that. She loved style and loved trend. She had been rather busy and was so excited for school about to start. Little did she know though she might change schools to Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. It was something different and new. She didn’t need drama anymore but, she would miss Hogwarts. Maybe talking to Matthew about it wouldn’t be such a bad idea now?.....

She slipped on her dress that she had designed herself and added the flower jewelry accessories to it to make the final touch and slipped on a pair of flip flops. Maybe they could even train also? She needed some training to even get better at dueling. Matthew was the best up top with her but, he was still good even though she didn’t really wanted to admit it to him. Sighing she finished fixing her hair fluffing it she had it scrunched like today. Hopefully Matthew would be surprised to see her dress this way and think she looked nice and not some girl that you just messed with and threw away. She finally was done and grabbed her wand and her purse and apparated to the front door of his manor. He didn’t know she was coming anyways it was a surprise. They needed to catch up a lot too. Bella rang the door bell and waited patiently checking herself in her mirror looking at her reflection fixing her eyeliner and putting it back in her purse.

Letting out a loud groan Matthew closed the giant dusty potions text book. School was just about over but N.E.W.T's were coming up. Those alone would cause anybody to have great stress. Especially with potions. Matthew worse subject ever. Potions was the only subject Matthew REALLY REALLY studied for. He spend most of his time studying for potions. He was lucky to get a "A" in his O.W.L's, but to get a "O" on his N.E.W.T's? That was nearly impossible. Which made the studying a lot more longer for Matthew. Whatever seemed impossible or not due able, Matthew would work just as hard to achieve it. That was Matthew, and it also had to do with his house. Ravenclaw's were very stubborn, plus they wanted top marks.

Rubbing the back of his neck, Matthew sighed getting up walking over to the alcohol cabinet pouring himself a glass of wine. Taking a sip Matthew sighed deeply hearing the soft knock of his house elf Buttons. [red]"Matthew, need anything? I could make some supper if you would like?"[/red] Squeaked the elf. Smiling he nodded. "Please, Bella will be joining us for the evening. So supper for three." Matthew smiled patting the elf on the head watching him run off. Walking over to the table Matthew opened a drawer grabbing a letter from Bella. Smiling as he looked at her perfect hand writing, Matthew sipped his wine taking the letter leaving the study room and walked towards his bed room. Reading through it.

Tossing off his shirt, Matthew sat the wine glass down still reading the letter going through his closet. He was much revealed that Bella was no longer pregnant but saddened by the fact it was a miscarriage. Putting on a white shirt Matthew sighed laying the letter on his bed picking up his wine glass.

Hearing the sound of the door Matthew headed down to the stairs humming to himself. Standing at the door Matthew sighed deeply putting on a friendly smile. Opening the door he looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and smiled. "Hello Bella why you look extremely well tonight. Please come in." Matthew smiled his thick accent showing as he stepped a side a bit for her.

Bella smiled softly as he had opened up the door after it had rang. "Matthew it has been a while. I've missed you dearly." she said. She wanted to see him, she needed to talk to him. As he let her come in she stepped in the door way and looked around the house. How he could live here all alone by himself was beyond her. But, a least he had buttons, right? He was a sweet house elf. Bella treated hers like they were her family. Sure it was weird to but Bella's parents were never home anyways when she was a kid and now Sylvester was gone she missed him a lot. Bella had gone through some hard times over the past few months. She was surprised she survived them but, she Was strong enough.

Matthew had always been there for Bella always. They had a thing before she had gone out with Adonis. But, now she loved him more than anything or anyone in the world. She looked into his eyes as she stepped through the door way and walked up close to him wrapping her arms around him kissing him passionately. She needed to know if they were together or not....She didn't want to wait anymore because, if he wouldn't pick her in the end what would she do? She would be heart broken yet once again. She didn't want to go through that again. It was bad the first time. She loved Adonis but, it turned out bad...

She finally broke the kiss and looked into his eyes. She got distracted for a moment because, he always looked so sexy with his shirt. "Matthew Dermandois.. I love you more than anything and I don't want to play these games any longer. Do choose me or her?" She asked demandingly standing infront of him. "I'm sorry I just want my heart broken again. Your my everything." She said with a tear down her cheek smiling.

Matthew smiled at Bella closing the door behind her looking at you sighing. She was beautiful. She had changed since they first met and the feelings had started. Why didn't he take her when she had the chance? He had her, right in his arms but he let her go and Matthew found somebody else.

Soon feeling her sweet lips against his, Matthew's arms slowly wrapped around her waist. Feeling the small hands of Buttons running past behind them taking Matthew's wine glass. Matthew pulled Bella close holding her tightly in his grasp kissing her back passionately. Feeling her pull back Matthew kept her close picking her up walking towards the living room sitting her on the couch, sitting beside her, his arms around her. When Matthew had heard her ask about choosing between the two Matthew sighed letting go of her slowly. "Bella..." Matthew said softly looking at her hearing about the heart break. Watching her cry Matthew sighed gently wiping her tears away slowly.

"Bella... I do choose you... But..." Matthew looked away sighing seeing that Buttons had placed his wine on the coffee table near them. Taking a final swig and now putting the empty glass down Matthew looked at her taking her hands and kissed them. "I choose you Bella. I don't want your heart broken anymore."Matthew said softly kissing her softly his hand gently placed on her cheek.

Bella looked at Matthew as she smiled at him and walked her over towards the couch. Did she just here thoughs words come out of his mouth that he had choosen her. “You-you what?” She was a little surprised smiling at him wanting to jump up on him and give him a big bear hug. Little did she know she was going to get played. Wasn’t Karma such a bitch sometimes, always bites you in the ass sooner or later. But this was a different story with Matthew. Bella fell for him first time she laid her eyes on him in a heart beat, in the snap of her fingers. She didn’t know what what it was about him though that she loved so much. He had been so different from every boy that she had dated in the past. Maybe he had always given her what she had always wanted maybe that was it? He was comforting, caring, and he listened to what she had to say about certain topics they takled about. He was like a big brother to her also while Sylvester had been gone her older brother which she had missed terribly.

His hand was so soft up against her cheek. That warm fuzzy feeling you get when you first ride a bike, get up on a broom for the first time. It was that type of feeling in her stomache she was nervous but, she needed this. She loved him so so much. “Matthew I love you. I always have. But, I’m just glad your mine now.” She spoke softly. She certainly did not want her heart broken again with what had happened with Adonis, she didn’t know if she would be able to survive it this time. Bella leaned forward towards Matthew and gave him a small peck on the cheek. “Okay, so this calls for a big celebration.. What should we do?” Bella’s stomache growled a little bit but, ignored it knowing she wasn’t really hungry to begin with. She had very little appitite since Sylvester left and her parents had been gone.
