My Substitute Boyfriend -11-

ROSY is not comfortable where she is sitting, and she is not comfortable with her companions, especially since they are strangers to each other. She courageously touched her substitute boyfriend's hand. 
Matthew immediately faced the woman when he felt her touch his hand. "Why, sweetheart? Do you want anything else?" He touches her knee. It was not his intention to do this, but Carlo and Mateo, looking at them, wanted to show them that they were very close as lovers. 
Rosy wanted to react. Because even though she was still wearing jeans, the heat from his palm was stinging her skin. Knowing that someone was watching them, she smiled at Matthew and shook her head; he had already ordered a lot of food. She couldn't even eat all of it. 
"Okay, tell me what you want, sweetheart." He caressed her knee again. 
Rosy is terrified of what he is doing to her. It's not because of the fear that it causes something strange in every part of her veins. 
Matthew can feel what she feels. He wants to apologize to her now, but he can't. Because his friends were there. Maybe later, when they're by themselves. He made her feel at ease by grinning at her. But he believes she's not. He had become aware of it earlier.
Rosy brought her face closer to Matthew's neck."Can I go to my friend, Lia?" she whispered.
"Okay, go but... Don't run away with me. Before you go home, you must tell me okay. "
"Yes," she replied shortly.
"Go, sweetheart. I'll come to see you later. Guys, my girlfriend stated she was going to her friends first because she was shy about you guys being too serious."
Jeez, this man, what is he saying? If he is her real boyfriend, she will really give him a grumpy look. 
Rosy was about to stand up when suddenly Matthew grabbed her hand. She looked at both of their hands. Then she looked at his face. Her eyes ask, "Why?"
Matthew gives her a sweet smile and holds her chin and gave her a kiss on the lips. After that, he said softly in her ear, "Always remember, sweetheart, before you leave me in front of them, just give me a kiss or I will kiss you!"
Matthew amazes himself because his behavior towards Rosy was different; he's not like this to any woman, but when it comes to her, he's sweet. Now he understands that he was in love with her. 
What? Wait, why is there always one? Only now will they pretend. And this man kissed her constantly; what does that mean? Then she can't refuse if he keeps kissing her. She just nodded and smiled at him. She stood up."I'll leave you guys alone!" She even waved both hands as she said goodbye. 
"Sure, Rosy, right?" Carlo replied. 
Rosy smiled as she agreed with what he said. 
"Go, sweetheart; I'll come see you later," Matthew said so Rosy could leave. 
She nodded to Matthew and immediately left. 
"She's cute!" Carlo asked when the woman was gone. 
"I agree with you, Carlo. The way she waved her hands," said Mateo. 
"So, Matthew, is she really your girlfriend?" Lai couldn't bear to ask this. 
"Yeah, tell us the truth, Matthew," Carlo said. 
Well, they know him very well, so he can't lie to them. "Well, I'm going to make her my real girlfriend."
"What? Wow! She isn't your girlfriend yet, but if you kiss her, all is given," said Carlo. 
"Yes, and she let you do that?" said Mateo. 
"She can't protest because I'm her substitute boyfriend for tonight."
"Oh, you acted, but you made it real for you, Matthew."
Matthew looked at Lai."Actually, I believe that she and I met not coincidentally; I saw her at your wedding, and then that night we met again at the bar. You know what she did to me? Matthew looked at them. 
"What?" The three looked excited. 
"She kissed me."
"What? She did that to you, wow?"
"Yes, Carlo. But she was drunk."
"You're really different, Matthew; even a drunk woman can still see your charisma."
"It isn't like that, Mateo. Maybe she mistook me for her boyfriend or ex. That way, she did that. And maybe she was brokenhearted because she came to the church to protest. "Maybe she thought the boyfriend was getting married that day," he explained. 
Lai nodded that his wedding. They thought she was really going to be a protest. "So, do you believe that fate brought you together?" Matthew
"I guess, Lai. This morning we met again at the showroom, and tonight we meet again. What do you think, huh?" He looked at his friends one by one. 
"So, are you in love with her, Matthew?" asked Lai.
"Well, I would say yes. Because this morning, she's with Gabriel Magno. Do you guys know him right? Suddenly, I feel jealous of him."
"What? Gabriel Magno, whoa. Your rival, Matthew, is very wealthy. He's the president of Magno, Fashion, and Industry. Not only here in the Philippines, they have companies around the world," said Carlo. He knows this because his mother's business is also in the fashion world. And sometimes she talk about him.
"So you're going to court her, Matthew?"
"Yes, Lai. I would say, I love her directly." Yes, his friend must be right. Gabriel Magno was a big threat for him. Even more, he thinks the two know each other.
"Well, being your friend, Matthew, we support you. So, if you love her, you're right. Tell her immediately. Now I will congratulate you," Mateo said.
"It's too early to congratulate him, Mateo. You know there is one, Gabriel Magno, right? " Carlo said.
"So what? He and Matthew have the same status in life. Even in looks, they are the same. Then Matthew is younger than he, isn't he?" Lai said.
Carlo and Mateo agreed with what Lai said.
