Hidden Desires | Mattheo Riddle

MATTHEO

A large smile spreads across my face, watching as her caramel hair drops down past her waist as she takes it out of a ponytail. She looks at me through the mirror, she raises her eyebrow and crosses her arms before turning around.

"What did I say about stalking me?" I groan and walk towards her.

"I can stalk you all I want," I speak, grabbing her waist.

"That's illegal, I can turn you in."

"Would you really do that my love?" I tilt my head and she pauses.

"That's what I thought," I smile before kissing her soft lips.

I wake up gasping, sweat covering my body. I look at the mirror.

She's not there.

She'll never be there.

Ever again.

OCTAVIA

"Are you serious?" I nod.

"Mattheo?"

"I know! She didn't tell me who it was before I agreed." I fall on the bed.

"You could've asked," Maeve says applying lip gloss.

"Anyways, where are you going at .." I look at the clock. "2:47 am?"

"On a date," she winks at me.

"Where?"

"In Omar's pants!" She exclaims before shutting the door.

I roll my eyes and chuckle before walking to the bathroom, looking at myself in the mirror. I close my eyes and see a small girl. Her caramel hair flowing in the wind as we run hand in hand.

I open my eyes and feel a small tear falling down my cheek.

I wipe it away and get ready for bed since we have classes tomorrow.

My eyes open and I try to rub them from the bright light, but my wrists aren't moving. I look down and see them tied to a chair. I try to wiggle out of the ropes that are both on my ankles and wrists, but it doesn't work.

"Help!" I scream.

Just as I'm about to scream again, the door opens and a large shadow of a body fills the room.

"There's no one here to help, darling."

OCTAVIA

"Slytherin?"

"Yes, are you down?"

"Sure." Maeve squeals and hugs me.

"Calm down, I didn't say I was going to stay for long. If it gets boring within 10 minutes I'm leaving."

"Whatever, I'll probably be wasted by then," she giggles. I roll my eyes and walk up the stairs behind her.

She slams our door shut and sits me down on the bed, going to her side and getting her makeup bag. Walking  back to my bed she sits beside me, getting all her stuff out.

She starts with eyeliner, moving on to mascara.

"We're not doing a full face right?"

"No, your already beautiful, I just wanna do your eyes." I smile and close my eyes for her.

"Did something happen Via?"

"No, why?"

"Your eyes didn't have that happy glow today."

"'Happy glow'?" I chuckle.

"Yeah, your always in a good mood, what happened?" She asks.

"I saw her again."

"When?"

"When you left with Omar last night, I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth before bed, I close my eyes and saw her."

"I saw Kiara.."
