We spent the evening laughing and cuddling while finishing watching the movie in bed.
Chapter5
Angel
The dawn lights penetrate through the curtains, and I stretch as I touch Matt's arm. I get out of bed without waking him and go into the living room to retrieve my shirt. I make coffee while I tie my shoes.
"I hope for your sake, your ass is already out of bed!" Gabriel yells as enters and stops seeing me in the kitchen.
"Oh fuck, I'm sorry." He says embarrassed, "Good morning, Angel."
"Good morning, Gabriel, I'm afraid he's still sleeping. Be on time at 8:30 in the office, we need to discuss some things before the conference."
"Yes, we'll be there," he says looking at me. "Did you sleep here ?!" he asks me and I feel like a little girl caught by her parents. I nod as Chris calls me on the phone, he's come to pick me up.
"Wow, I'm sorry it's not my business but if they had told me I would not have believed it, he has finally started to live!"
"What do you mean?"
"After Amber he didn't want anyone to come near him. But then you came, and after seven years he started living again. Don't break his heart."
"I'm not going to," I tell him, greeting him.
I get in the car and Chris looks at me smiling. “Did you have a happy birthday?" he asks me.
"Best ever had." I answer him and see him smile as I text Matt.
Me:Good morning, Matt, sorry if I ran away without saying goodbye. For me it's all so new and I was afraid that like in the movies you would have hoped not to see me in the morning. The coffee is ready, I'll wait for you at 8:30 am. Thanks for the best birthday ever! Angel xx
I enter my apartment, it is already seven, and I need to hurry. The phone rings with a message but I finish getting ready before reading it.
Matt:Hi baby, I'm not saying good morning because it wasn't. I would have liked to find you here, by my side instead you have disappeared and seeing Gabe's face instead of yours wasn't exactly the same. For a moment I thought I was only dreaming. Movies are stupid, I want to fall asleep and wake up with you, baby. And I know it's crazy, I know it's early ,but I will respect your time and take what you want to give me. See you later, and thanks for the coffee, love. Matt xx
I smile as I take the elevator and adjust my skirt as the doors open and Chris is holding the car door open for me.
At 8:30 a.m. DarkHeaven is already here. I enter the meeting room greeting them while Matt's eyes linger on me, he gets up and kisses me. I hear the gasps of some members and the sly smile that Matt has makes me smile.
"Guys, me and Angel… well... we're together, we'll make it official soon, but I wanted you to know first."
"I knew there was something between you two, congratulations!" Faith says hopping.
"Wow, you managed to melt his heart, welcome to the family," Ice says smiling.
Lilly knocks on the door, and she informs us that everyone has arrived.
"One last thing before you go, they will start asking you personal questions and if you don't feel ready to answer, smile and decline; you are the only one managing the interview and not them."
The boys nod and we move toward the SMD conference room. I stop and take a deep breath and I feel Matt's hand on the base of my back, all the tension vanishes as if by magic.
As soon as the doors open, I am pleased to see the room crowded with journalists. We move toward the stage and begin to sit in our seats. As usual I should sit between them, but I place my iPad and the phone standing in front of the table.
The rumors stop and I smile.
"I'm always nervous having you all here, in one room. As if I were in a lion's cage," I say triggering reporters’ giggles. "I am pleased to notice new faces among us, so I would say we can start. Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Angel Montgomery, CEO of SMD. I have gathered you here today to officially present our new achievement. They are the DarkHeaven and for the next five years they will be part of the SMD family hoping for a possible contract renewal."
I see a reporter raising his hand. "Yes?"
"Hello, Miss. Montgomery, I'm Eddie Ray from EMG magazine, we were wondering how the trip to Europe went and if the rumors are true. Did you run away because you broke up with your boyfriend?"
