Leane sighed as she wiped the tears from her eyes. "You say that now... but after it happens who knows how you all will feel about me... After Kurt and his family find out.. And if my parents react as I believe they will... I fear for your jobs and the harm that may come to Matt..."
|
"Matt can defend himself." Matthew's mom assured her as she patted her back. "We're going to get through this." She said firmly. "We can't change it now so we're just going to have to move on." She said with a small smile.
"She's right, Lee." Matthew said. "We're just going to have to go forward." He assured her. |
Leane sighed as she gave upon trying to explain her fears. It was pointless and all it did was make everyone laugh at her more. They did not know her family.. They did not know what happened to the family of the father of her cousin. Nothing would be alright if she were pregnant, as she truly believed she was.
"Yes," Leane lied as she wiped her eyes, "You're right. I'm worrying too much.. Everything will be alright," Leane said with a small smile, "But not at my own home. Would you be very opposed to the idea of my staying here until my brother accepts hat could come?" |
"Of course." Matthew's mother said, looking over her shoulder at her husband who nodded in approval. "Then its settled." She said happily, clapping her hands together. "I've always wanted a daughter." She laughed.
"Thanks mom." Matthew said with an eyeroll. "Matt be a gentleman and take her to the guest room and I'll make some paella." She grinned happily before disappearing into the kitchen. "Come on." Matthew smiled warmly as he took Leane's hand and led her to the guest room. |
Leane sighed as she followed Matt obediently after thanking his parents. Once they were inside, Leane laid upon the bed and curled into a ball. "Will you sneak over after your parents are asleep?" Leane inquired softly as she pulled her pillow close and stared blankly at her lap.
|
"One step ahead of you." Matthew smiled as he opened the closet door, revealing a door in the back that led to his room. "Don't look so sad, Leane." Matthew said as he sat beside her and put his arms around her slim waist. "Its going to be alright. We just have to roll with the punches." He assured her before giving her lips a soft kiss.
|
Sitting up, Leane wrapped her arms around Matt's neck and curled up on his lap as she buried her face in his chest, "I'm sorry... I promise I'll be alright in the morning.. I just.. I know how my family will react.. and until they tell me otherwise, I cannot help but fret and worry about all of you..."
|
"There's no need to worry about us." Matthew assured her as he patted her back gently. "We'll all get through this." He said as he stroked her hair.
|
"Matt, you don't know the Supton Family... You don't realize the financial predicament they can put your family under. To get you to leave me, they will take away everything they are able to influence away. And in return for your cooperation of leaving me to fend for myself as they believe I deserve, they will give it all back," Leane whispered as she pulled him closer to her, "And then with Josh it'll be World War Three, punches will surely be thrown... It will be utter chaos.."
|
"It'll be alright, Leane." Matthew promised as he wrapped his arms tighter around her. "I'm not going to leave you no matter what." He said as he rubbed her back gently.
|
"Not even if your family gets evicted, lose their jobs, and God knows what else?" Leane said skeptically through her tears as she looked up at him. Sighing, Leane caressed his cheek and placed a tender kiss upon his lips.
"Matt, I would never let you do that. I would rather die than see you do that to your family on account of me," Leane whispered against his lips between kisses, "And you know that as well as I." |
"Lee." Matthew chided. "My family owns this house. My great grandparents made it so there's no loans in the bank." He said. "They can't evict us from this home if its completely ours." He assured her. "And all of this worrying is just going to drive you crazy." He said.
|
Leane breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness.." Wiping her tears so her face wasn't as damp as it was, Leane sighed as she rested her forehead against Matt's, her eyes closing with the sigh. "Forgive me for worrying so.. I just.. I cannot help but keep thinking of my Aunt is all... I just don't want that to happen to us... I don't want you to leave me on account of what my family does to yours.. I need to know your family's jobs and home are secured before I tell my parents.. I.. I can't tell them until we know your parents' jobs are secure," Leane whispered softly with another sigh.
|
"Leane." Matthew said firmly as he cupped her face so that their eyes were even. "I'm not going to leave you unless you ask it of me. And even then it might be hard to convince me to leave." He said with a small smile before catching her lips in a soft kiss. "All of this worrying is unhealthy for you." He said as he caressed her cheek with his thumb.
|
"I know.. I'm sorry... I shall try and stay positive," Leane promised with a warm smile and a long, tender kiss upon Matt's lips. 'As hard as that may be, given the circumstances...' Leane added in her thoughts as she shifted so that she had a knee on each side of Matt's hips before leaning him back against the bed.
"I really am sorry for making you worry about me so, and for crying so much," Leane added softly as she leaned into him and placed long, deep, tender kisses upon his lips before slipping from his lap and curling up beside him upon the bed, her leg wrapped around his while her hand rested upon his chest and her face buried in his neck. "I love you Matt, forever," Leane promised with a tender kiss upon his neck. |
"I love you too, Leane." Matthew promised as he rested his head against her's. "Very, very much." He said as he ran his fingers through her hair. "So don't apologize anymore and let's not worry until we know for sure that there's something to worry about." He said.
|
Taking her hair out of the bun, letting it fall in loose curls down her back, Leane put the bobby-pins and hair-tie onto the bed-stand on the other side of Matt before placing a long, tender kiss upon his lips. "I promise to try," she whispered softly against his lips between kisses before burying her face into his neck once more and snuggling closer to his frame.
|
"Good." Matthew smiled as he wrapped his arms tighter around her. "Because we don't want any wrinkles in your forehead." He teased as he gave her hair a soft kiss.
|
Leane laughed softly as she placed light, tender kisses upon his neck as she teased, "Oh? I thought they would go perfectly with my premature grey hair. I take it you don't agree?"
|
"I'm sure you'll look beautiful as an old lady." Matthew laughed as he ran his fingers through Leane's hair. "Is this what all this color is for? To cover the grey? Because I'm seeing a few you missed, Lee." He smiled.
|
"You've discovered my secret Matthew Sommers. And it's only taken you how many months?" Leane teased as she laughed softly before placing a long, tender kiss upon his lips and continuing with a wink, "And if I missed a spot, I'm going to have to have a long talk with Georjiano and Paolo about my color."
|
"Your hair is beautiful." Matthew assured her with a laugh as he twirled his fingers around a hot pink strand.
|
Leane continued to kiss Matt with a warm smile, softly murmuring against his lips between kisses, "Thank you. I wish I could say the same for yours, but it is rather dull," Leane added with a teasing laugh.
|
"You're right." Matthew laughed. "I was thinking hot pink." He said as he took a strand of his hair between his fingers before letting it fall flat back against his head again. "What do you think?" He asked with a coy grin before catching Leane's lips in a quick kiss.
|
Leane laughed as she returned his kisses. "Hmm, I think a bright aqua blue might suit you better," Leane teased with a wink as she shifted so that her legs wrapped around Matt's waist as her arms draped loosely around his neck, the fingers of her right hand playing with his hair as she placed light kisses upon his lips, "Paolo would be more than happy to color your hair for you. Want me to give him a call?"
