    What happened earlier that evening
    https://devotedtowriting.forumotion.com/t2211-truth-and-consequences

    Brianna had stormed her way back into the mansion with Matthew hot on her tail as she avoided Bill's office and everything to do with Bill. She had lost Quinn and all because of one stupid mistake, if it hadn't been for Arabella and her stupid ways of going behind her back then she and Quinn would have been together and happy. But of course Arabella had to go and ruin things. All the way back from Fangtasia she had kept quiet as she listened to Arabella bark orders at Matthew on how they were going to keep quiet. 

    But right now she could not care less about either of them, she had lost the one man that she loved. Arabella was going to pay for this and she would make sure of it. She could hear Arabella calling out after her but she ignored her and headed straight for her room. She needed to get away from all of this, including Matthew.

    She threw herself onto the bed as she let her red tears fall, she had lost Quinn.

    Matthew had been sat next to Brianna all the way back to the King's estate as Arabella had given him strict instructions about how things were going to go down when they returned. But he did not care, all he could do was gaze at Brianna. Why she loved that man he would never know, but she did and he had to respect that. But he loved her to.

    Upon entering the mansion Brianna instantly sped to where he assumed to be her room as he remained in the foyer. Brianna knew how he felt about her, and he needed to explain. Waiting until Miss Trillo excused herself instantly to go and speak to whoever she was going to see. Matthew climbed the stairs to the first floor as he walked slowly towards Brianna's bedroom as he stood outside as he fixed himself as he knocked on.

    "Brianna...It's Matthew...May I come in?" he asked politely.

    Brianna was still laid on her bed clutching her pillow as she could not stop the tears from falling as she felt her heart breaking into a million pieces. All she wanted was Quinn with her here now and for everything to be okay. But he had run from her when she had gone to talk to him, that told her everything that she needed to know. They were over before that had even begun. Hearing Matthew's voice ask to enter her room. Where it had all started.

    "What do you want Matthew?" she cried.

    Hearing her ask what she wanted without giving him permission to enter her room as entered anyway. Peering his head through the crack as he saw her crying on her bed as he slid in and closed the door behind him quietly. He approached her bed as he perched himself next to her as she lay flat across the duvet. He felt a pang of guilt about what had happened tonight, but another part of him was glad that Mr Quinn was no longer in her life. Maybe he could show her in time that he was better for her.

    "Brianna....Talk to me....I need to know how you are" he pleaded with her, not being able to stop himself from asking the most ridiculous question he could ask right now.

    What was it with men and their questions, Brianna just wanted to be alone right now and Matthew was not helping the situation at all and especially now when she knew how he felt about her.

    "How am I doing?" she asked, her voice muffled from the pillow in her face.

    Swinging her legs out from underneath her as she sat up swiftly to look at him.

    "How do you think I am doing? The man I love has left me. Gone. And it's all because of Arabella. She told him what happened with us and now I have lost him" she held her hand to cover her mouth to muffle her cries as she broke down into tears once again.

    Matthew felt another pang of guilt wash over him as he witnessed Brianna breaking down in front of him, he did not know that she loved Mr Quinn that much. He had hoped that it was just a young girl crush, but maybe in time she would come to love him instead.

    "Shhhh Brianna..." as his fingers raised her eyes to meet his own "You deserve better Brianna, someone who can give you everything that you want. Someone who will look after you and be there to protect you....someone who loves you" he whispered.

    In all words he had described himself, but that is all he wanted.

    Brianna dared not to look into his eyes as she heard every word that he spoke, but all she wanted was Quinn sitting with her.

    "You mean like how you love me? Why did you never tell me? We were friends.....and now it's all ruined" she cried again.

    Matthew nodded to her words as he realized that he should have told her sooner but he had been reluctant to and it was for this very reason, he hated seeing her like this.

    "It doesn't have to be ruined....We can still be friends....I just would like to be more with you Brianna" he admitted honestly.

    Running his thumb across her dampened red tear stained cheek as he attempted to wipe away her tears as he gazed softly into her eyes.

    "You are the most wonderful person that I have ever met...Your kind, gentle, funny and you are the most beautiful-est girl that I have ever met in my life. I have loved you since the moment that I met you" he admitted.

    Brianna could feel herself breaking again. She had just lost Quinn and now Matthew was admitting his love for her. Were her emotions meant to be like this? Sad over loosing Quinn and joyous over Matthew admitting his love for her.

    "Matthew....You know that your my friend. Your the only friend I have around here. I don't want to loose you...If I don't have you here then I don't know what I would do...Your all I have now and I don't want to ruin that" she sighed as she fought back another episode of crying as she reached over to her bedside table and grabbed a tissue and began cleaning her face.

    Matthew took the tissue from her hand as he could see the irritation in her eyes as he began erasing all traces of her red tears that stained her face. Below her once red stained face was the girl that he had fallen in love with as he tossed the tissue into the trash can beside her bed as he turned back to her.

    "I will always be your friend Brianna....No matter what happens between us" he whispered assuringly.

    Scooting a little closer to her on the bed as his hand reached up to cup her cheek softly as he rested his forehead against hers.

    "I will never leave you Brianna. You have my word" he whispered as he let his warm lips press against her cool lips.

    Brianna felt his lips against her and only this time she did not want to push him away. To know how he felt about her made it that much easier than just someone who she began to think was using her. But what did she know? She did not have much experience when it came to men and Quinn was the only one that she could compare too. She let her hand reach up to land on his chest as she could feel his heart beating rapidly in his chest as she returned his kiss.

    Matthew was pleasantly surprised when she did not push him away as he took advantage of the situation as his hands drifted down to her waist as he pulled her into his lap as he deepened the kiss between them. This is what he wanted and he was not going to deny her this comfort, she knew how he felt about her now it was just time that she needed. His hands slid up her back as he could feel the tips of her hair tickling his hands as he smiled into the kiss.

    Brianna knew this was wrong and especially after what happened with Quinn earlier but a part of her needed this. She did not know why but she did, it was a way of comfort. She was angry at herself, Arabella, Matthew and Quinn. She was nothing like Jessica like he claimed her to be, but if that is what he thought about her then she would show him. She changed positions in Matthew's lap as she now sat facing him as her legs wrapped around his back as her arms clung around his neck as she held him closer.

    She pulled away as she could feel Matthew's lips glide down her neck as she arched her back pressing her body closer to his.

    Matthew knew that he did not need to be careful with his grip as his arms locked around her as he could feel that she wanted him as much as he did her. Her teeth nibbled down the side of her neck as he felt her chest pressed against his body as he let out something between a growl and a groan as his she straddled him. He felt something buzzing in his pocket and knew it to be his phone, his work phone as he reluctantly pulled back as he sighed heavily as he could see the shock in her face. He rocked his hip so that he could pull out his phone and answered it.

    "Holt.....Yes......When?......I shall be right there" as he ended the call and slid it inside his jacket pocket "I have to go....Guard meeting" he grumbled.

    Brianna did not know how far she would go with Matthew, but this was something to wash away the tears for now and it was helping. But when he stopped to answer his phone it left her shocked, just as when she was starting to let go. When he explained that he had to go to a meeting she instantly slid off his lap and fixed herself.

    "I understand...You should go, I don't want to get you in trouble" she smirked hiding everything.

    Matthew stood from the edge of her bed as he began adjusting himself as he gazed down at her softly.

    "You never have to be sorry for getting me into trouble. I do that without your help" he joked.

    Wrapping his hand around the base of her neck as he kissed her cheek softly "I promise that I will be back"

    Nodding at his promise as she dared not to look up at him again as she wrapped her arms around herself as she moved out from in front of him and headed into her bathroom. She needed a shower to wash away the evening. Everything had happened so fast she felt like her head was spinning. She never thought that she would say this, but she wanted to speak to Jessica.

    Matthew caught sight of her retreating to her bathroom, as much as he wanted to stay and finish off what he had started he knew that he had no choice but to go to this guard meeting. He knew that she was still hurting over Mr Quinn but he would make all that vanish. He had promised her that he would return afterwards and that was a promise that he was not going to break.
