Stefano

Today was Spade's birthday and Matteo had said he would come pick me up in less than an hour, so I was actually in a bit of a rush as I tried to put on my outfit, something Matteo had picked out for me.

It was an all white outfit, white roundneck and white casual pants, he even got me a white jacket to go with it, I already had a pair of white converse that I could wear with it, I'm not going to lie, Matteo does have some fashion sense in him too.

Although he said the party was not exactly a party, just a few of Spade's close and trusted men, Nate, Su Nate's sister and Matteo of course, then me, who was going as his plus one.

I wasn't at all nervous because Matteo didn't consider this a date so I didn't want to make a big deal out of it, I considered my appearance there as Matteo's friend and Spade's business partner.

I had finished dressing up, putting on my pendant and taking my wallet and phone, that was all I would be needing tonight, I went to my living room, glancing at my wrist watch, I still had at least ten minutes before Matteo showed up, thank God, else he'd had my head if I was late.

I had packed my hair in a neat man bun, because it was getting wild, I was even considering going to get it trimmed sometime in the week, I know I looked sharp and sweet, but I couldn't help but feel a little bit nervous, this was the first time I'd be dressing up for Matteo, not that I dressed up for him, more for like the party, but he'd be the first to see me before anyone else, so that didn't help in soothing my nerves.

I let out a deep breath just as the same time the doorbell went off, causing me to get up from the armrest of the chair, I walked towards the door and gingerly pulled the door open, Matteo stood on the other side, his usually messy hair, a bit tamed, and I always thought he looked hot with the whole rumpled, messy spongy hair, but I was wrong, he looked even more hotter with his hair styled to the side, although a few stubborn strands fell on his face, my eyes moved and rested on his deep, sea blue eyes, they didn't hold the usual coldness I had gotten used to seeing when Matteo and I were still on the opposite side of each other, instead they were warm, and calm like the ocean, then he smiled, that breathtaking smile that always made my heart do a happy dance, I swallowed hard.

"Hey" he rasped out, and I could have sworn, I caught him checking me out too, causing my whole body to suddenly feel aware of how dressed up I looked.

"Hi" I whispered, trying to keep my voice steady as I smiled at him back, I didn't even notice what he was wearing until my eyes moved further down and I almost choked on my spit, he was matching with me, the same white outfit, same jacket, and even the chain that came with my pants.

I felt my cheeks heat up and butterflies in my stomach as I looked up at him and he had a warm smile on his face
"I hope you don't mind us matching"? He asked softly and I swallowed hard, feeling a lump of emotions in my throat, he's making it hard for me to stop loving him, I just shrugged because I couldn't trust my voice right now
"Shall we"? He asked and I just nodded before I stepped outside and closed my door before we both walked towards the elevator and got in, we both just stood inside the elevator as it moved and I couldn't help but let my eyes rake through Matteo's body from the elevator doors, even though we were putting on exactly the same clothes, I couldn't help but admire how perfect it looked on him, while my somewhat average frame made it look normal and casual, Matteo's thick body made it look hot and sexy, if I didn't thread carefully, I'd have my throat dry the whole night because he was literally taking my breath away.

"Don't stare, you're making me... Shy" he muttered looking down at his fingers and I couldn't help but smile before I looked away from his reflection

"I didn't know you were capable of being shy" I teased but in truth I was just being honest, Matteo was sometimes so bold that I didn't think anything could get him flustered or even caught off guard, but right now he was admitting to feeling shy because of my stare
