My Substitute Boyfriend -18-
ROSY held Gabriel's arm. She felt like she would fall if she didn't hold him.
Gabriel grabbed Rosy's hand."Are you okay?" he asked.
"Yes, it's cold here; I wish I hadn't dressed like this," was her alibi.
"Is that so? Let's sit first," Gabriel guided Rosy to the seat.
Matthew's eyes followed Rosy and Gabriel. He couldn't figure out what he was feeling right now. Damnit, his heart only wants to do one thing. Take Rosy to that man. But how can he do that, especially when he knows that the girl he is going to marry is his sister? But he wonders how many days have passed since they have not met the Magnos face to face. He said to himself that this would never happen. But the mother said They will talk if Gabrielle finishes her work here in Manila and has not told the family about the marriage between them.
Matthew's companions at the table, Lai and Carlo, also followed where his eyes went. when they saw who their friend was looking at. They looked at each other. They know what happened between that woman and Matthew. He even cried while telling them that he would lose the woman he loves.
Lai and Carlo were shaking their heads because they also knew that Gabriel and Gabrielle were siblings. For them, it's really a small world and destiny will play really differently, and you will be hurt all the way.
When they sat down, Gabriel took off his jacket and put it on Rosy's shoulder.
"Keep you warm, Rosy."
She smiled at him."Thank you, Gabriel."
Gabriel sat down and looked at the other table. He and Matthew looked at each other.
Gabriel nodded to Matthew as his greeting to him.
Matthew did the same to Gabriel. Even at that moment his heart was consumed by intense jealousy.
"Let's order our food, Rosy."
Rosy nodded at Gabriel.
"Do you want me to order for you, Rosy, or will you do it?"
Rosy smiled."It's up to you, I know, you will choose the best food here, Gabriel."
Gabriel nodded then he ordered thier food.
Matthew, you don't feel good; let's go now; let's take out our order; let's just go straight to your condo and eat there; then let's have a drink," Lai suggested.
Carlo nodded as he agreed with what Lai said. They know that Matthew also can't concentrate because his attention is on the other table.
Matthew looked at the two. "No, we eat here, that's why we came here, right? Why did Mateo take so long come?"
"Let's not wait for him, when our food is served let's eat first, let him take care of his life, if he late to come?"
Matthew and Carlo smiled at Lai's guidance. He invited them to eat outside, because he came home early from his honeymoon.
While they wait for their order. Rosy couldn't stop looking at Matthew's table then they eyes met.
Rosy immediately looked back. As her heart was pumping so quickly.
Matthew sighed. His mind and heart are screaming at the that moment. Take Rosy from Gabriel.
"Stop looking at them, Matthew," Lai scolded him.
"Lai is right, Matthew. But if you can't control your heart, then make a decision and follow your heart, then you will be happy forever," Carlo advised.
"Carlo, reprimand you too." Lai shook his head.
Carlo's words made Matthew sigh again.
While they were eating."Thank you, Rosy. Because you agreed to have a dinner with me."
"That's okay, sir. Like I said before, it's my pleasure to be with you because you're my boss, but why do you want to be with me, Gabriel? Because of what you did—you even went to the office—I think ma'am Shopia is jealous of me."
"What? She said that she was jealous of you. We already separated a long time ago."
"She didn't say it, but maybe she still loves you, Gabriel."
Gabriel laughed quite loudly at what Rosy said."You think so?"
Matthew looked at Rosy.
Rosy smiled and nodded at Gabriel.
Matthew's eyes were full of jealousy. Is it that easy that he is no longer in Rosy's heart? What did he expect when she still loved him? And then he was the one who left her. Mostly, their relationship was not that deep.
"Well, that's why I want to be with you, Rosy; I don't know why my feeling toward you is so comfortable. What do you think I'm in love with you for?"
Rosy stared at Gabriel. Is he serious about what he said?"I don't know either, and you're the only one who can answer that, Gabriel."
Gabriel nodded, even though he didn't know if he was in love with Rosy."Don't mind what I said; now I will study first my feelings, and then I will tell you the result when I'm done, okay?"
Rosy nodded. when she finished eating. "I'm going to the washroom first, Gabriel."
"Sure, I will pay our bill, then we will leave."
Rosy immediately headed to the washroom area.
Matthew's eyes were on Rosy when she headed to the comfort room. One thing that he wants to do is follow her, talk to her, or even hug her for awhile because he has missed her so much.
Lai and Carlo looked at Matthew. Because they know what he wants to do, they should follow her. They both shook their heads.
But Matthew's heart kept telling him to go. He stood up."I'm going to the washroom."
"Matthew?" Lai and Carlo mentioned its name at the same time.
"What? I'm just going to pee! I won't do anything to embarrass you; I'm old. Perhaps you want to join me?"
The two just shook their heads.
Matthew has left two friends. and took a big step.
Actually, he didn't really pee; he just wanted to see Rosy up close. God knows how much he has missed her in the past few days. He stayed near the woman's comfort room. A minute later, Rosy came out.
When Rosy saw him, she stopped walking. Her mind was shouting. She ran to him and hugged him. Yeah, this is what she wants to do now because she misses him so much. But she knows their situation, and they're breaking up already.
Matthew took a big step to get near her. Then he took her hand and led her to the exit door.
Rosy didn't protest at all. She just let him take him.
when their in behind the door. Matthew hugs her tight and closes his eyes; he wants to treasure this moment for them.
Rosy couldn't stop herself from crying. Then she started crying.
Now Matthew can say that their hearts are screaming as one; they love each other very much.
"I know. I know, sweetheart. I'm sorry! I just can't stop myself from hugging you. I miss you so much!" He loosened his grip on it. He held her face and wiped her wet cheek.
"Ma-Matthew?"
"I'm sorry, forgive me okay!"
"It's not your fault."
"There is, because I hurt you."
Rosy shook her head; she understood what he said. "I'm fine."
"Are you already moving on?" because of Gabriel Magno?"
She shook her head again."He's just my boss."
It's okay for him if Rosy has a new relationship, but hopefully not with Gabriel. What if they fall in love and then get married? She can be his in-laws' sister. But he can't stop it if it happens. But of course he can, if he makes a decision right now. But he can't break his promise to his parents.
He nodded at her."Please be happy, okay."
Rosy nodded at Matthew with a smile."Yes, I will."
Matthew hugged her again. It's like she wants to shout that she loves this woman so much.
"Alright, Matthew, Gabriel is waiting."
Matthew sighed deeply, then let go of her.
Rosy held the handle of the door to go out.
"Rosy?" Matthew called he really; he didn't like to separate from her.
Rosy looked at Matthew."Why?" she asked him.
Matthew didn't answer her; he just held her face again and then gave her a kiss on the lips.
Rosy will refrain from returning his kiss because she knows that she will soon be married.
When Matthew released her lips, she immediately went out.
Matthew just looked at the door that Rosy came out of. and he clenched his fist. He screamed and started hitting the wall. because he felt so frustrated.
Lai and Carlo looked at Rosy, who hurried past their table. And they looked at where it came from; they saw Matthew bent over, and with the weight of every step he took, they knew why. The heart is really a tough opponent.
Gabriel immediately stood up when Rosy approached their table. "Let's go," he said.
Rosy nodded to Gabriel. And they left.
When Matthew got close to the two friends, "Let's go," he said.
Carlo and Lai stood up. Then Mateo came.
"Have you finished eating?" Mateo asked them.
"Yes, it took you a long time to come," Carlo replied.
"How come I leave right away? It's hard to leave it hanging."
The three shook their heads, knowing what Mateo meant.
"Okay, we're ahead of you; eat alone and then pay our bill," Lai said.
"What? You invited me, Lai."
"So, someone says who ate last should wash the plate. So, you're caught, you can't wash the plate, so you just have to pay our bill."
Carlo and Matthew smiled at Lai's guidance.
Mateo just shook his head. He didn't eat anymore. But he did pay their bill.
Carlo, Matthew, and Lai came out smiling. Download Novelah App
