Chapter 462 - Let Me Court You
'Uhm, wait? What's happening here? I'm not daydreaming nor imagining things right?' Sophia's eyes grew wider as she felt Matthew's lips brushing hers.
Moments ago, she was just staring at his gorgeous face, meeting his intense gaze. But now, she just found herself being kissed by this handsome man in his black suit.
Her heart went crazy inside her chest! The thumping beat of her heart was so loud that she could even hear it with her ears.
She could hardly believe it! Matthew Wilkins was kissing her right now in this horror house filled with scary creatures. How could this happen in just a blink of an eye?
When Matthew didn't feel any resistance from Sophia so he continued kissing her. It seemed like he didn't have any plan to restrain himself right now and be a gentleman.
He took advantage of this situation. He was carried away by his feelings and it was too late to stop now. For once, Matthew tried to apply Tristan's naughtiness and shamelessness.
Being with Tristan's side for so many years, Matthew learned something with his 'the moves' with women. Deep inside, to get a score with Sophia was his goal from the start when he asked Sophia to have a tour in the horror house.
He thought it would be nice if Sophia would be scared and she would stick to him during the entire tour. But he didn't expect that he would end up kissing her.
Well, Sophia was the one to blame. Matthew couldn't resist her charm any longer, especially when she started hugging him tightly as she sunk her body into his arms.
He loved to smell her sweet scent. The feeling of her soft body in his arms almost drove him nuts. Finally, Matthew had totally lost it... he lost his remaining self-control.
He may not be her first kiss. But for Matthew, this kiss was so special to him because the woman before him was very close to his heart.
He would make this moment memorable for Sophia to the extent she would no longer think of the first kiss she had with Marcus.
Matthew wanted to erase that bad memory in Sophia's mind and replaced it by their special moment here right now.
His hands that were holding her back and gripping her waist moments ago were now cupping her face and holding the back of her head as Matthew deepened the kiss.
Sophia just found herself closing her eyes and responding to his kiss. She couldn't deny the fact that she was also being carried away by Matthew's passionate kiss.
However, she was still inexperienced when it came to kissing. She didn't know if she was doing the right thing or not.
Her cheeks were burning red. She's blushing from too much embarrassment. She was afraid that Matthew would be disappointed in her after this kiss.
Matthew felt her uneasiness so he tried to calm her down by caressing her cheek and gently rubbing her nape using his fingers as if he was telling her, 'It's just fine, and just follow my lead.'
Sophia's hand finally moved, anchoring them around Matthew's neck. When Matthew felt that Sophia's movement became bolder, he changed their position, pinning her on the wall where he was leaning his back moments ago.
He was supporting her head as he continued kissing her hard. He was nibbling on her lower and upper lips alternately.
Sophia tried her best to mimic his actions. She raked her hand through his hair and pulled his head closer to her. Her aggressiveness intensified Matthew's burning desire for her.
'Damn! She's so sweet. Too addicting. I want to kiss her forever,' Matthew thought to himself.
He gently bit Sophia's lips so that she would open her mouth a little. He wanted to explore her inside and she granted his wish. She partly opened her mouth, letting out a soft moan.
Matthew grabbed that opportunity to plunge his tongue inside her mouth, exploring and tasting her sweetness. The kiss was becoming more intense as time went by. It seemed that no one between them wanted to stop.
They didn't want to ruin the magical moment so they just took a pause to grab some air then continued kissing once again. Matthew brought back his attention inside her mouth, searching for her tongue.
When his tongue got in contact with hers, he immediately licked it, pushing and hooking hers with his. It looked like they were having a wrestling battle with their tongues inside her mouth.
They had been kissing each other for several minutes now, forgetting the fact that they were still in a public place. They were lost in their own world that they failed to notice that there were now several pairs of eyes watching them.
Several new customers of the Horror House finally reached Station 5. They were being chased by coffins and ugly-looking vampires.
They were running but suddenly stopped on their tracks the moment they saw Matthew and Sophia who were still kissing in the corner. They were both shocked and bewildered after seeing them.
Even the staff wearing coffins as costumes and the ugly-looking vampires stopped scaring the customers. Instead, they joined the customers as they watched the two people who were having their intimate moment inside.
They didn't know whether to proceed or not. They were afraid to make some noise, afraid that they would interrupt Sophia and Matthew.
Who would have thought that a couple would still act lovey-dovey inside the Horror House filled with scary creatures who were trying to scare the hell out of them?
Sophia and Matthew would never notice their presence if not for a girl who accidentally sneezed.
Achoo! Achoo!
Her friends as well as the vampires and human-coffins turned to her, signaling her to keep quiet. But it's already too late. Matthew and Sophia stopped kissing and averted their gaze in the direction of that voice.
Sophia's jaw dropped after seeing the number of people watching them. She covered her mouth using her hands. Her face was blushing.
"How long have they been standing there?" Sophia murmured to Matthew.
She just wished that the ground would open up and swallowed her. She had the urge to hide right now. She was so embarrassed.
What if they would think she was a horny college girl, making out with a man in a public place like this? She was also wearing her school uniform.
Matthew, who somehow knew Sophia's concern, immediately pulled her against his body to hide her face from the uninvited audiences who were standing just a few meters away from them.
Then he whispered to her. "Shall we go?"
Sophia gazed up, nodding her head as a response. Matthew smiled at her tenderly before grabbing her hand.
Without further ado, Matthew pulled her, going to the last station. They were in a hurry to leave the Horror House so they ran as fast as they could going to the exit.
Both of them were already panting when they reached the exit. They took their time, trying to steady their breathing. No one spoke up between them but their hands were still entangled with each other.
Sophia didn't have the courage to look at him in the eyes. She was embarrassed but she didn't regret kissing Matthew back. She couldn't explain why but it felt very different from the kiss she shared with Marcus before.
Though he was kissing her hard with fervent need, Matthew's kiss gave her an amazing feeling of security and reassurance.
She was also surprised that she didn't feel uncomfortable except she was embarrassed because she didn't know what Matthew was thinking about her right now. She was worried that Matthew didn't like the way she responded to him.
Sophia took a deep breath as she mustered up her courage. She had to confront him now, or else, she would not be able to sleep tonight.
"Matt… why did you do that?" She asked him, looking down while avoiding his gaze.
Matthew's lips curled up into a smile. He knew that Sophia was a little bit embarrassed, that's why she couldn't look at him.
"Did what?" he asked her back. There was a glint of humor in his eyes. He wanted to tease her.
Sophia bit her lower lip. She had the urge to punch Matthew. He already knew what she was referring to but here, he was acting clueless.
"That… k-kiss."
Matthew let out a husky laugh before saying, "What's wrong with that? Do I need a reason to kiss my girlfriend?"
This time Sophia raised her head to look at him when she heard that. She was frowning while pouting her lips.
"Girlfriend? As far as I could remember, we are just pretending! And how can I be your girlfriend? You haven't even courted me yet!" Sophia complained to him exasperatedly.
Matthew chuckled, looking at her with amusement. "Alright then… let me court you!"
Sophia's eyes widened in disbelief. "Eh, No way! Why would you do that?"
"Ouch, does this mean I just got dumped right away? Was it because of my age? You don't like me because I'm too old for you?" Matthew put on a pitiful face. He pressed his hand on his chest, pretending he was hurt by her rejection.
"Nooo! That's not what I meant!" Sophia immediately corrected Matthew's wrong assumption.
"Hmm, so why are you not allowing me to court you?"
Sophia sighed deeply. This time she looked straight into Matthew's eyes before answering him.
"Because I don't think that you like me. You are out of my league! You are too good for someone like me."
