My substitute Boyfriend -7-

Gabriel stood up to greet Matthew."You are here too, Mr. Montefiore," he says. 
"Yeah, someone invited me to have lunch here." "I can't say no to her." He looked at his cousin and He widened his eyes to convey that she agreed with him. 
Amanda didn't get what her cousin meant, so she frowned. She didn't invite him; they just met at the door. Why was he lying? She knows him. Lying isn't in his vocabulary. 
Gabriel looked at the woman Matthew was referring to. Amanda suddenly smiled and nodded at the man.
Gabriel also nodded at the woman."Nice to meet you again, Mr. Montefiore." he said.
"Same to you, Mr. Magno."
"Enjoy your lunch with her."
"Yes, I enjoy it too." Matthew responded to him. 
Gabriel sat down. 
Matthew doesn't seem to want to sit down; he seems to want to sit at Gabriel's table. 
When Amanda saw her two friends were coming, she said, "Matthew, sit down now that they are coming."
Before Matthew sat next to his cousin, his eyes were on Rosy again. 
Rosy looked right at Matthew. So Matthew gave her a seductive smile again. 
Rosy immediately focused her eyes on her food. Why is he always looking at her? Well, she's the same; they're the same. But the truth is, the snobbish guy is really handsome, and his seductive smile will have you salivating. But she will swallow it first; she is still brokenhearted. 
Gabriel put two slices of pizza and barbecue on a plate. "Rosy, eat a lot, okay. Try this too." He placed the plate in front of her. 
Rosy wants to protest because she was already full of the pasta she ate. This restaurant is generous and gives you a lot. But she couldn't refuse it because it was already in front of her. "Thank you, sir," she just said. She ate quickly so they could finish. 
At Matthew's table while they were eating, he didn't talk a lot. When the two women were going to ask him, he only answered yes or no. His attention was really on the woman at the other table. He kept glancing at her. 
"Matthew, do you know that woman?" Amanda asked her cousin in a whisper; she had been noticing this for a while now—he was looking at her constantly. 
Matthew looks at Amanda. He didn't answer her, but he shook his head. 
"So, do you like her?" She whispered again. 
Matthew nodded to her. 
Amanda shook her head. Whoa, he's become mute now. Her grumpy cousin was in love; she can tell it by the way he looked at the woman at the other table. She glanced at the woman as well. Well, she was simply pretty cute. She nodded because that woman was definitely different from all the other women her cousin met. 
When Gabriel saw that Rosy had run out of food on her plate, "You want some more?" he asked. 
She shook her head; she was so full that she even felt like her denim skirt was a bit tight now. 
"Are you sure?" Gabriel is still sure of her. 
Rosy's response was gesturing because, really, she was so full she couldn't speak. And she just signaled to her stomach that it would explode if she ate more. 
Gabriel suddenly laughed because she was so cute with the way her hands pointed at her stomach. 
Rosy smiled because he was also cute to look at while laughing. 
Matthew automatically looked at the other table. and suddenly he feels envious. He wants to laugh like that too. Especially if the woman you love makes you laugh. Because of how he feels, he suddenly lost his appetite. "I go to the restroom," he said. 
The girls nodded to him, and he immediately left. 
"If you are done, Rosy, let's go."
Rosy looked at the three pieces of pizza and barbecue that were left. She wants to take out, but she is shy about telling her boss. 
Gabriel understands what rosy eyes mean. "Let's wrap it; you can eat when you get to your house."
Rosy's smile was wide. Of course, she will have a snack later. 
When they got up, Gabriel looked at the other table to say goodbye to Matthew, but he wasn't there, so he just nodded at the women with him who were looking at him. 
After paying and getting what they wrapped, Rosy and Gabriel immediately left. 
While walking back to their table, Matthew saw that the adjacent table was empty."They're gone," he said suddenly, feeling sad, and his foot also agreed with him. He walks slowly as if he doesn't want to stay with his cousin anymore and just leaves. But he needs to say goodbye to his cousin. When he reached the table, "Amanda, I'll go first, okay?" he said. 
"You didn't finish your food yet, Matthew?"
"I'm full. Bye!" He didn't even bother to look at his cousin's friends. He left. 
"Amanda, why is your cousin so sad all of a sudden?"
"That's just the way he is; you don't understand his behavior. Sometimes he had a grumpy attitude, it's a good thing he's a handsome guy."
"You're right, Amanda. Well, I like him." 
"Don't continue, Lou; you're not his type. I know him," Amanda snapped. 
"Yeah, I feel it, Amanda." He didn't bother to look at me even once.
"He's like that. If he's not interested in something or someone, let's not talk about him; let's eat."
Both women nodded at Amanda.
