The kiss - Leandra Fick (uplifting book club books .TXT) 📗

missed him every day more. The next Sunday that comes he ask me if I want to came with to his family, so I wasn’t sure what to expect or how to react but I thought by myself am going as myself am not going to pretend to be someone am not. So that Sunday after church and after Sunday lunch, I went to Mat they were waiting for me to come. As we got there everyone was looking at me, Mat didn’t introduce me to his family his mom introduce me as “Mat’s girlfriend”, when his granddad said don’t introduce her “Mat’s girlfriend” she has a name, when they start calling me on my name. I soon discover his family is very kind and caring people, his grandmother reminds me so much of my grandmother I had. She is very sweet and loving you feel so welcome by their house and his granddad is very funny you can only laugh at him. They are all down to earth people; they accept me for who I am. As for my family Mat meet them part for part, as we didn’t go so often anymore. But I told Mat he mustn’t take the one side of my family seriously, because am not their favoured so they wouldn’t talk much to him. But the other side will surely love him I know that, and I was right. Our relationship got stronger and it was turning into months being together, we are still madly in love and crazy about each other. But our relationship took a knock when Mat loses his job, I know he was afraid I will leave him but I told him that doesn’t matter to me, I love him for who he is as a person. I am happy with him and love him to bits. The days when my sister got married come closer and my nerves was finish I didn’t want to do it anymore but Mat told me relax you can do it. On the day of my sister’s wedding no-one mattered to me, only Mat did and when I saw him he was so handsome in his suite, I imagine it was our wedding day where he is standing there in front and wait for me. He looked very sexy that day, our relationship only got stronger.

No one thought we were serious about each other but we are serious, and nothing will change that. We’ve been through a lot we had our ups and downs, we had our arguments where I almost leave Mat, he was in tears, that’s when I realise I can’t leave him ever it will break us both; I can’t imagine my life without with out him. Mat started eating by me on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays I was a bit nervous because I never cook for a guy before, so the question comes again “what if he doesn’t like my cooking”, at first he would say “my mom cooks like this and that” but I told him am not his mom am just me. And from there on he never said something again; my cooking did improve as I tried to cook like his mom. Mat enjoys my cooking but more my baking, he also helps a lot in the kitchen with dishes it’s a lot of fun too we joke around and play around. As the time passes it was becoming closer to Christmas and I didn’t know can Mat come along, so I have to ask my dad if he can. I was a bit nervous but also excited. All I ever wanted for Christmas was a boyfriend, who will love me, make me laugh, who will stand by me no matter what and after all so many years I finally got him. On the holiday we had a six bed chalet, we shared a room with three beds in, we talk till late in the night and in the day we swim a lot. I was feeling so proud of Mat to show him of in the swimming pool, he was so sexy and has a body to die for any girl’s dram guy, but am the lucky one. We had a lot of fun in the water and out side the water, we chase each other around with water guns and just be silly together. I am one of those girls who are happy with little, even though Mat bought something small for me I was happy because I had Mat by me and that’s all I wanted. But the holiday must come to an end and it wasn’t easy to let go of Mat, I was so used to have him around me, the good night kisses and morning kisses I missed it a lot. But I knew I will see him that weekend again but it felt like a life time to pass. On the 31st of December Mat was with me he sleeps over by me, because I didn’t want to leave my dogs alone with the crackers. We didn’t do something special, we just watch movie and talk all my dreams and hopes finally got true. If I look back I can honestly say Mat and I never had a real fight, we don’t fight over small things yes we argue sometimes but we work it out we love each other very much and cant live without each other and after eight months together we still madly in love. The next day on New Year’s Day I was with Mat and his family, buy unlucky me I had a tummy on me and was flat. I still went with Mat to his home where his mom took care of me. Mat had to take me home with my car; because I couldn’t drive I was too weak. We made it together of nine months together, if felt like yesterday when Mat ask me out. As we approaching Valentine’s Day I realise I didn’t think about it much, because most times I was alone and now I have Mat. So I bought him a cup with chocolates in with a key ring, Mat gave me a cute puppy teddy bear, it really puts a smile on my face. Mat’s mom and I got close, we talk about a lot of things and she accepts me as her own daughter. We went for shopping together it was really nice to have her with me. We get along very good. As our anniversary got closer I wanted to do something special, I was planning on a movie, but our finances were a bit tight so that thought went down the drain, so my last choice was to cook for him and gave his present for him too that Sunday. I planned everything what to cook, what I plan to make in the slow cooker didn’t go well my hopes went down the drain but the food was nice though, I also plan to make waffles for pudding for us later but that also went dead because we went to my sister and to my aunt later. I told Mat he can choose when he wants his present; only that evening he told me he wants it. As he opens it I could see he was very excited, he asks me if it was a key holder with our photo in so I played along and said yes. I could see he was happy but not very keen on the idea of a key holder, but when he opens the box his expression told a million words. That really puts a smile on my face and a warmth feeling in my heart, he absolutely loves it. It’s something he will have forever.
