| Cassidy got home at five thirty, and hopped into the shower. She wasn�t looking forward to her date with Matt Hardy that night, but if it would save her sister from getting mad at her, she�s do anything. She wasn�t sure what Matt had planned, so she put on a skort and a halter-top. She left her hair down. Cassidy�s light brown curly hair came down to the middle of her back, and she almost always wore it up in a ponytail or a bun. The only real difference between Cassidy and Lainey was their hair. Lainey�s hair was shorter, straight, and had blonde streaks in it. Cassidy had just finished putting her make up on when she heard the knock on the door. She went downstairs and opened the door, and there stood Matt. He had his long curly black hair tied back at the nape of his neck. He was wearing a brown button down shirt, a pair of jeans, and a pair of sandals. Cassidy almost lost her breath when she saw him. He looked really good� almost too good. She was trying to fight the attraction she had to him. �Hi.� Cassidy said. �Hello Cassidy.� Matt replied. �Do you want to come inside while I finish getting ready?� �Sure.� Matt walked in the door and Cassidy shut it behind him. �Can I get you a drink?� �No, I am all set. Are you almost ready?� �Yes, I just have to get some shoes on. You are early ya know.� �Early is better than late.� �I�d offer you a seat on the sofa, but apparently my sister decided to get paint all over it so now it�s ruined.� �Yeah, when Jeff called me earlier he said that he and Lainey painted the basement last night.� �They did?� �That is what Jeff said. I don�t know� Why don�t you go get your shoes on so we can go?� Cassidy ran upstairs and threw on a pair of sandals. She took one last look at herself, and walked back down the stairs. She grabbed her purse and said, �Okay, I am ready to go.� Matt headed out the door, and Cassidy locked it up behind them. They got out to Matt�s car, and Matt opened the door for Cassidy. �By the way�� Matt said. �You look incredible.� She couldn�t respond; Matt shut the door right after he said it. When he got into the driver�s seat, Cassidy said, �Thank you.� �For what?� �The compliment.� �I can�t lie, you do look really good.� �So what are we doing?� �What would you like to do?� �It doesn�t matter, it�s your choice.� �Okay�� Matt replied. Matt drove to Southern Pines and took Cassidy to Mini Pines to play miniature golf. Cassidy was surprised to actually be enjoying herself. She and Matt were getting to know each other while Matt was teaching her how to play. Cassidy actually picked up on it quick, and ended up beating Matt by four strokes. They grabbed a bite to eat at the park after their round of golf, and afterwards Matt took Cassidy to the Red Room, a club to which he and she both went often. That was where Cassidy had met Nathan. Cassidy and Matt were headed to the door. She grabbed some money out of her purse to pay to get in, and Matt stopped her. �What are you doing?� �There is a cover charge.� �Yes, I�ve got it taken care of.� �Matt, I can pay my own way in.� �Look Cassidy, I asked you out tonight and I insist on paying.� �Come on Matt. You haven�t let me pay for a thing all night.� �Yes, and I don�t intent on letting you start paying now.� Matt took the money out of Cassidy�s hand and shoved it back in her purse. He then took her hand and led the way inside. He paid the cover charge, and they both entered. Cassidy and Matt went to the bar, and they both ordered a drink. They sat at the bar for a short time, and finished two drinks. The two of them were deep in conversation when Cassidy felt someone tap her shoulder. She turned around, and there stood Nathan. �What?� Cassidy asked, very annoyed. �Can we talk?� Nathan asked. �No. We broke up. I am here on a date, so do you mind?� �I want to talk to you Cassidy.� Matt could tell that Cassidy was irritated, so he butt in. �Look man, she said she didn�t want to talk to you.� �Shut up!� Nathan said, and then grabbed Cassidy�s arm. He tried pulling her off the stool, but she jerked her arm back. Matt stood up, and moved between Nathan and Cassidy. �Cassidy said she didn�t want to talk to you. Now I would appreciate it if you would leave her alone. She is here with me.� Nathan finally decided to leave Cassidy alone, for the time being anyway. Cassidy was so mad that she ordered another drink. Within the next hour, she had a total of three Hollywood Iced Teas, and was completely drunk. If you didn�t know how much she had drank, you never would have known it; Cassidy did a really good job of acting sober. She saw Nathan standing a short ways away, and decided to really piss him off. A slower song came on, and Cassidy asked Matt to dance. He agreed, so Cassidy took his hand and led him onto the dance floor. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and danced really close. She kept her eye on Nathan, who was in turn keeping his eye on her. When she saw that he was still watching her, Cassidy cupped Matt�s face in her hands, and kissed him. Matt was attracted to Cassidy and he kissed her back. The two of them were just about making out on the dance floor, and after a minute or two of groping each other; Cassidy put her arms back around Matt. She whispered, �Let�s get out of here and go someplace more private.� �Alright.� Matt said in agreement. He took Cassidy�s hand and led her out the door to his car. He opened the door for her, then got into the driver�s side and backed out. As he pulled away, Cassidy saw Nathan come out the door. She waved at him and gave him a grin as if to say, �Ha, ha.� When Matt pulled into Cassidy�s driveway, he saw Jeff�s truck parked there. �What is my brother doing here at three o�clock in the morning? He�s supposed to be in New York.� �He probably is.� Cassidy said. �Lainey left me a note this morning and said that he was letting her borrow the truck. �Ohhh.� Matt replied. �I bet that pissed Lizzie off.� �Who is Lizzie?� �Jeff�s girlfriend.� Cassidy leaned over and started kissing Matt again. This went on for ten minutes or so. Finally Cassidy pulled away from him. �Do you want to come inside?� She asked. �Are you sure you want me to?� �Yes, I am sure.� Cassidy kissed him again. They both climbed out of the car and went to the door. Cassidy unlocked it, and they both went inside. No sooner was the door shut, and the two of them were all over each other. Within a few minutes, they had made their way to Cassidy�s bedroom. Matt shut the bedroom door, and turned to Cassidy. She started unbuttoning his shirt. She slid it off his shoulders and it fell to the floor. Cassidy ran her hands down Matt�s muscular chest. Matt slid Cassidy�s shirt over her head, and tossed it on the floor next to his shirt. The two of them just couldn�t seem to get enough of each other. Matt and Cassidy made it to the bed, and were out of the rest of their clothes. Matt was on top of Cassidy and their hands were all over each other. They had gone so far that they were just about to have sex, when Matt stopped. He looked into Cassidy�s eyes. �Are you sure you want to do this?� �Yes, I am sure.� �If we do this, you aren�t going to be able to get rid of me very easily.� �Who said I wanted to get rid of you?� �Well, under the circumstances, I sort of forced this date on you.� �If I didn�t want to go, I would have said no. Now will you shut up already?� Cassidy kissed Matt, and there was no stopping it. It was like spontaneous combustion. The two of them were so into each other. After they were finished, Matt lay on his back and Cassidy was resting her head on his chest. Neither one of them said a word for a while. Finally Matt said, �Cassidy?� �Mm hmm?� �Will you be my girlfriend?� �Mm hmm.� �What?� �Mm hmm.� �Does that mean yes.� �Yes Matt, that means yes. Now would you be quiet so I can sleep?� �No, I won�t.� Matt slid Cassidy on top of him and started kissing her again. He was so gentle yet forceful with her, and she liked it. She had never been with a man like this before, and she couldn�t control herself. Matt and Cassidy had a second round of sex. After the second time, within minutes, the two of them were fast asleep. |
