~ At Mt. Calypso Mountain Resort ~
Matthew and Sophia were still enjoying their quality time together. He remembered that Sophia would be celebrating her 20th Birthday three days from now.
Matthew wanted to give her a surprise and celebrate with her in Mt. Calypso. However, Grandpa Solomon and Maribel suddenly called him today, asking him when he was coming back to the City of Empire.
Sophia and Matthew were strolling around the resort when he received the call from his family. He excused himself from Sophia to answer his phone.
Sophia just continued taking pictures in the Resort's Botanical Garden, enjoying the scenic view of the beautiful flowers and plants around them.
Matthew's eyes were still focused on Sophia when he answered the phone call.
Matthew: "Hello, Grandpa? Is everything alright? Why did you suddenly call me?"
Matthew knew his grandfather. He would not make this call if it was not important. He already told his grandpa that he was on vacation.
Grandpa Solomon: "You punk. What's wrong if this old man suddenly called you? Can't I do that? I'm missing you already. It's been five days that I haven't seen you here. When are you coming back?"
"Brother!!! When are you coming back? I miss you so much! Come home fast!"
Matthew didn't know why but he felt something weird about the way his grandfather and sister were behaving.
"What's wrong? Did something happen at home?" Matthew asked them curiously. He was not convinced that the reason they were asking him to go home fast was only because they missed him.
He had done lots of out-of-town trips in the past. It even lasted for two weeks but his sister and grandfather never asked him like this.
"Nothing happened, big bro! We just want you to return home soon. We will have a family gathering. It's been a while since our family gathered together on one occasion." Maribel said as an alibi.
The true reason they wanted him to go home was because of Yuri. They were planning to surprise him. They were certain that Matthew would be happy to see Yuri. She was back for good.
Grandpa Solomon got his phone from Maribel. He scolded her for interrupting his conversation with his grandson. But he also supported Maribel's claim.
"Grandson, I think our family also needs to hold some gathering and reunion once in a while just like the Davis Family. Why don't you come back soon?"
Matthew just sighed helplessly. He knew that they were hiding something from him. He could sense it. But it seemed that his grandfather and his sister didn't plan on revealing it today.
"Alright, grandpa… I will go back the day after tomorrow."
Matthew glanced at Sophia. It seemed that he had to change his plan. Instead of celebrating Sophia's birthday here in Mt. Calypso Matthew had decided to do it in the City of Empire.
If his family would hold a gathering then that was also the right time he would bring Sophia and introduce her to his family as his girlfriend.
"Okay, Grandson. We will be waiting for you here!" Grandpa Solomon said with his enthusiastic voice.
Matthew felt relieved since he could tell that nothing was wrong. His grandpa sounded very cheerful so he had nothing to worry about. He said goodbye to his grandpa and ended the call.
Matthew smiled when he saw Sophia taking pictures. She was so engrossed watching the beautiful scenery around them.
He slowly approached her from the back. When Sophia didn't notice him, Matthew wrapped his arms around her body, hugging her from behind.
Sophia's body jolted in surprise. Matthew suddenly hugged her from out of nowhere. Sophia hit his arms for shocking her.
"You almost gave me a heart attack, do you know that?" Sophia tilted her head to see his face. She pouted her lips.
Matthew just let out a soft chuckle, tightening his grip on her body. Without a warning, he gave her a peck on her lips.
Sophia froze in her spot, her eyes blinking several times. Seeing her stunned expression, Matthew stole another kiss from her. This time he gave her a lingering kiss on her lips.
Matthew couldn't help it. Sophia was so charming that he couldn't resist the urge to kiss her.
But surprisingly, Sophia responded to his kiss. He turned her around, lifting her chin and grabbing the back of her head as he deepened the kiss.
Sophia hooked her arms around Matthew's neck. She felt her legs go weak as she was overwhelmed by Matthew's passionate kiss. She was drowning with pleasure as she tasted his lips.
Matthew ran his tongue over her lips, urging her to open up for him. Sophia parted her lips allowing Matthew to explore her mouth.
Matthew's tongue entered her mouth, searching for her tongue. When he found it, he started licking and sucking her as their tongues got intertwined with each other.
Matthew smiled inwardly as Sophia was returning his kiss with equal passion. He pulled her closer. He had no plan of stopping. He wanted to kiss her like there was no tomorrow.
When they broke the kiss, the two were gasping for air. Matthew rested his forehead on hers, still caressing her face.
He gave her another peck, planting soft kisses on her forehead, her eyes, her cheeks, her nose, her chin, and lastly her lips.
"Your lips taste so sweet. I can't get enough of you, Sophie. Why are you so charming?" He mumbled softly.
Sophia bit her lower lip, her cheeks blushing. She had to admit that she loved kissing him. She got used to being intimate with Matthew, just touching her hands and kissing her lips.
She appreciated him for being such a gentleman. He didn't go beyond kissing.
But little did she know Matthew was having a hard time controlling his desire for her. But he tried his best because he didn't want to scare Sophia. He didn't want her to misunderstand his intent.
"Sophie…"
"Yes, Matt?"
"I love you."
Sophia: "..." *Blushing further*
