Chapter 565 - What's Inside the Package?

Sophia couldn't believe that Matthew was also naughty just like his best friend, Tristan.

As if Matthew had read her mind, he had spoken again while cupping her face.

"Don't look at me like that. I am only naughty when it comes to my girlfriend," Matthew softly mumbled, winking at Sophia.

Sophia couldn't help but blush. Matthew really knew how to flatter her.

Soon, Matthew turned around only to find out that Zhen-Zhen, Bianca, and Mary were no longer in their previous spot.

Matthew pinched Sophia's cheeks. "Hmm, no wonder you kissed me a while ago! Your friends are no longer here."

Sophia chewed on her lower lip. "Because… I'm too shy. I will feel embarrassed if they see me doing it." She admitted.

Matthew's lips curled up into a mischievous smile.

"Hmm, so does it mean it is okay for you to kiss me if we are alone together? Will you not be mad if I kiss you over and over again as long as we are alone?" Matthew shamelessly asked her.

Sophia didn't know what to say after hearing that. She just gazed at his handsome face with amus.e.m.e.nt. Her face reddened more from embarrassment.

Without waiting for Sophia's response, Matthew gently pushed her on the nearby tree. Her back was now resting on the tree trunk while Matthew trapped her with his body and strong arms.

"Hey, n-not here… o-other students… might see us…" Sophia mumbled anxiously.

Her heart pounded so hard because of Matthew's intense gaze and their closeness. She was nervous but at the same time, excited. She was anticipating his next move.

Matthew slowly moved his face closer to hers. Reflexively, Sophia closed her eyes. Then she felt Matthew's lips gently brushing her lips. It was a soft gentle kiss.

There was no tongue involved, only their lips brushing and nibbling on each other's lips. Matthew was c.a.r.e.s.sing her cheeks while kissing her.

Sophia was responding, returning every stroke of his h.i.p.s on hers. She loved the way Matthew was kissing her.

His kiss was comforting and reassuring. She could feel his love. He was so gentle when it came to her. He didn't want to force her. He was waiting for her to open up and initiate things.

As time went by, Sophia deepened the kiss. She was drowning with the gentle passion brought by his kiss. She wanted more.

Sophia raised her hands, wrapping them at the back of Matthew's head and his neck. She had already forgotten about her shyness.

Matthew smiled in between their kiss when he felt that Sophia initiated to deepen the kiss.

He could feel her tongue, tracing his lips and seeking an entrance. With his fluttering heart, Matthew parted his lips for her.

Sophia was now the one leading the kiss. She started dominating Matthew. She plunged her tongue inside his mouth, l.i.c.k.i.n.g and exploring him.

Matthew continued c.a.r.e.s.sing her face as if he was encouraging her more. Soon, their tongues met, entangling each other inside his mouth.

Sophia licked him. Their tongues seemed like wrestling each other, pinning each other down inside his mouth.

Matthew savored this moment. It was very rare for Sophia to let loose of herself. He was so glad that she was slowly opening up for him.

The level of their intimacy was improving little by little. Matthew felt content at that thought.

If Sophia was ready then he would introduce her to his family. Matthew was already dying to show off his beautiful and smart girlfriend to his family but Sophia was not yet ready.

She was still hesitating, feeling insecure about herself. She was afraid that Matthew's family would not like her for Matthew.

She was just an ordinary girl with an ordinary background. She was afraid that once she received rejection from Matthew's family, she would end up breaking up with him because of the pressure.

This was one of the reasons she was avoiding meeting his family. Sophia was glad because Matthew was very understanding.

He respected her decision and he was not rushing things between them. For Sophia, Matthew was a perfect gentleman.

It did not take long when Sophia and Matthew broke the kiss. They had to do it to gasp some air.

Matthew's face was glowing with happiness because Sophia gave him an amazing kiss today. He loved it. She dominated him today.

"Whoa! That was so intense. I love it!" Matthew blurted out enthusiastically.

Sophia's already blushing face reddened more. She bit her lower lip and looked away.

"Hey, hey! Don't feel embarrassed. It is natural for two lovers to share an intimate and passionate kiss." 

Matthew hugged her again. He didn't know what to do for Sophia to stop feeling shy and embarrassed about these things.

But he had to admit that he found her very cute whenever she was blushing from embarrassment.

"Okay. I will not tease you about this. By the way, are you now free? Am I disturbing you?" 

Sophia shook her head. "I'm done with my requirements today. I am planning to help Mary and Lillie but Marcus came, asking me to talk."

Matthew nodded his head. He was no longer upset or jealous.

"Hmm, I think Lillie and Mary are also done with their requirements. Hmm, so you can come with me! Let's have a date today!" Matthew invited her on the spot.

Sophia smiled faintly before nodding her head in agreement.

With their entangled hands, Matthew and Sophia left the mini-forest, going to the parking lot where Matthew parked his car.

Sophia messaged Zhen-Zhen through a text, informing her that she and Matthew would go ahead first.

Upon entering Matthew's car, he remembered that he hadn't told her yet about their trip to Mt. Calypso tomorrow.

Before starting the car, Matthew turned to Sophia.

"Ahem, Sophie, my love… there's something I haven't told you yet."

'My love? He called me… love? Gosh, Matthew, why are you making my heart crazy today?' Sophia thought to herself, her eyes still lingered on Matthew's handsome face.

"You have no class starting tomorrow, right? Semester Break?"

Sophia just nodded her head absentmindedly. She was wondering what endearment she should use to call him. She was only him by his name.

'Gosh, I am a boring girl! What if he will get tired of me after dating me for a few months. I'm not that vocal when it comes to my feelings. I am also very reserved. I'm not sweet. Will he dump me soon?'

Sophia was lost in her thoughts that she didn't absorb Matthew's next words. He had to repeat it again.

"Sophie? You didn't answer me. Does it mean you don't want to come with me?" Matthew asked her with his pitiful face.

He asked her if she wanted to go with him on a trip but Sophia didn't answer. Little did he know, Sophia was thinking about something that she didn't hear what he just said.

"I'm sorry. What did you just say a while ago? I didn't hear it clearly, that's why I didn't answer you." Sophia apologized to Matthew after she snapped out of her train of thoughts.

"I asked you if you are willing to go on a trip with me… will you?" Matthew asked her again expectantly.

"Trip?"

Matthew bobbed his head frantically.

"When?"

"Tomorrow!" Matthew declared.

Sophia: "..."

'The trip will be tomorrow? But he just informed me today?!'

Seeing the stunned expression of Sophia, Matthew decided to elaborate on his answer.

"Actually, this is related to Tristan's surprise for Zhen-Zhen. He is planning to propose again at Mt. Calypso where he first met his wife. I am helping him with the preparation so I will go there tomorrow."

"I am thinking why not bring you with me as part of your vacation too since you don't have classes anymore. I also want to spend more time with my girlfriend," Matthew told her truthfully.

Sophia felt touched again because of his words. Between them, Matthew was always the one finding ways on how they would be together.

She hadn't done anything for him. Because of this realization, she felt so guilty and sorry for him.

'I think I should also show some effort to make our relationship work. I will make it up to him on this trip.' Sophia made a mental note.

"Yes, of course! I would love it too! I will come with you tomorrow!"

"Yees!!!" Matthew raised his fist when Sophia agreed with him.

Sophia giggled seeing his enthusiasm.

"I will fetch you tomorrow. Bring clothes good for three to five days."

"Yes, Love! I will!" Sophia mumbled with a sweet smile on her face.

Matthew: "..."

It was now Matthew's turn to be speechless when he heard Sophia calling him 'Love'. This was another first time she did this.

~ At the Davis Family Mansion ~

After talking to Grandpa Lu and getting Grandma Cassandra's favorite necklace, Tristan went to his study room.

He kept the necklace in his mini-vault. He would hide it there in the meantime so that Zhen-Zhen would not see it.

After that, he caught a glimpse of the rectangular box on the top of his table. He almost forgot about the package sent by an anonymous person.

"Okay! Let's see what's on this package."

Tristan slowly opened the box. The confusion resurfaced in his eyes when he saw the thing inside the box.

He picked it up. After a few seconds, his expression turned ugly in an instant. His face darkened. He ground his teeth, his eyes bloodshot as if he was about to murder someone.
