SugarDaddy

"Matt, I'm not so sure this is a good idea." I shook my head as I glanced at him from my spot in the passenger seat of his car that was parked in a parking lot across the street from a park that we were supposed to meet up at with his friends and their girlfriends. "Don't you think we should wait a little? I mean, we've only had this relationship for two weeks, shouldn't we wait a little longer?" Fear gripped my voice as I spoke.

Matt chuckled as he shook his head and taking off his seat belt as he turned off his car and pulled the keys from the ignition. "This is the perfect time to introduce you to them and trust me, they'll love you - especially the girls. They love meeting new people." He smiled reassuringly as he placed a warm hand on my shoulder and giving it a light squeeze. "If anything goes wrong or if you feel uncomfortable we'll leave, okay?" He locked his eyes with my own and I immediately gave in.

"Okay," I smiled and nodded my head. "But if they even make the slightest remark we're out, got it?" I pointed a finger at him. He simply laughed as he shook his head and stepped out of the car. I couldn't help but smile every time he did, his dimples were just to adorable.

I followed his actions and took off my seat belt and stepped out of the car and closing the door, making my way towards him and stopping at his side. I scanned the entire park. Benches, trees, a large field on one side, a baseball field on the other, a playground and a small gated area with a water fountain to play in. It looked like any other park. There was one set of benches that seemed to catch my eye. About seven or eight people sat in them, laughing drinking and eating food displayed before them.

"Is that them?" I asked Matt, never tearing my eyes away from them.

"Yeah," he gently took a hold of my small hand with his and intertwined our fingers together. Our relationship hasn't moved passed our sugardaddy/ sugarbaby agreement we had a week ago, but that doesn't mean you can't show the other person some for of affection. Plus, we're trying to pass me off as his new 'girlfriend' so that they wont become suspicious for when he suddenly starts hanging around some girl. "Let's go say hi."

I let out a small whimper as I followed him, holding onto his hand tighter as we neared the table. My mind was racing as I thought about everything that could go wrong. What I spill a drink on me or one of them? What I accidentally drop food on them? What if I trip and make an idiot out of myself? What they catch on and realize I'm not really this girlfriend? What if the don't like me because he's still legally married? Whatever bad thoughts I had were forced to the back of my head as we approached the table.

"Matt!" One of the guys sitting at the first table shouted as he jumped up from his spot on the bench and happily walked up to us, a smile on his face. Matt released my hand and pulled the man into a hug, it wasn't 'till up close that I realized how much shorter than Matt he was.

"Johnny," Matt's smile mirrored his friend known as Johnny. I felt awkward standing next to him and silently wished I were somewhere else. "This is Natalie, Natalie, this is Johnny." Matt introduced us. I smiled at Johnny as reached out his hand which I kindly shake, giving him a small hi.

"Well come and say hi to everyone else," Johnny turned around and walked back to the table, sitting down next to a woman who pecked his cheek. I looked at Matt who grinned at me and placed his hands on my shoulders as he led me to the table like a train, swaying side to side making me giggle.

Another man stood up and away from the bench as Matt released me once again to give him one of those guy hugs, something I will never understand. "Dude, you made it."

"Hell yeah I made it." Once they pulled away the man looked at me and smiled, reaching out his hand for me to shake, and just like with Johnny, I did. I took his ginormous hand into my small one and shook it, returning the smile.

"Brian."

"Natalie." Matt patted Brian's shoulder as he gave him another smile.

"Let me introduce you to everyone else," Matt said once he noticed everyone was looking at us. I glanced at the tables to see that they were in fact looking me up and down, obviously attempting to figure out who I was and what I was doing there. I could see that new people was something they don't usually deal with. "I'd like you guys to meet some one." Matt said as he wrapped a large arm around my shoulder and pulling me close to him.

"In this first table it's: Johnny, Lacey and Leanna on one side and Brian, Michelle and Valary on the other." Brian and Johnny just nodded their heads since they already met me and the girls gave me Hi's.

Matt pointed to the second table and pointed the people out as he called their names. "And on the second table we have Jason Berry, Matt Berry, Zacky and Gena." I smiled and waved at them. Both Jason and Matt gave me wave with smiles along with Gena while Zacky gave me a nod of his head, a smile and a 'sup'. "Guys, this is Natalie."

"It's nice to meet you all, Matt is always talking about you guys." I said earning an 'aw' from Brian and Jason and a 'how cute' from Zacky. I chuckled as Matt just flipped them off and leading me to the space on the bench and sitting across from me. I looked at the blond next to Zacky and smiled, remembering her name as Gena. "I love your hair."

She ran a hand though her hair shyly. "Thanks, I got it done at my salon."

"You have a salon?" I was in awe. She smiled and nodded her head, giggling when Zacky pressed his lips to her ear. They were adorable.

"Yeah, I've had it for a while now. It's a pain at times." She took a sip of her coke and turned her head as someone from the other table called her name.

"Are you and Matt dating?" I looked over to the other table to see who asked that. A women sitting next to Brian was staring at me with a look I couldn't really understand. I couldn't tell if she was annoyed, upset, depressed or bored. I noticed she and the other woman sitting next to her looked exactly the same. This must be the twins, Valary and Michelle.

"Uh," I looked at Matt who looked back at me. Do we go on with our plan?

"Yes," he said before cracking open a beer that was handed to him by one of the brothers. "We haven't been dating for long but we are." He smiled at me as he set it on the table.

"And you're okay with the fact that he's still married?" That question caught me off guard. I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out. I looked at her to see that she had now a slight glare in her eyes. Was this Valary or Michelle? "You do know that he's married, right?" Now everyone was looking at me, most likely all wondering the same thing.

"I do," I nodded my head. "That was the first thing he told me about before we started dating." I took a quick glance around both tables to see that they were shifting their eyes between Matt, the twins and I.

"And you're okay with that? You're okay with dating married men?" She raised her voice.

"Michelle, it's okay." Her twin sister placed a hand on her shoulder. "I already know that he's been dating, we talked about it." She attempted to calm down her upset twin before casting and apologetic glance my way.

Michelle was getting mad at me, not Valary? Well isn't that a twist.

"Val, how can you be okay with this? You guys are even divorced yet, are you seriously just going to let him bring some girl to our gatherings like it's no problem?" She asked now giving her sister the third degree and somehow applying it to everyone else as they looked at each other, me then back at her.

"Michelle, there's no harm being done." Gena spoke up as she raised eyebrows as she spoke to her friend. "No ones getting hurt."

"Valary is," she pointed to her sister who looked at her like she was crazy. She shook her head and gave her sister a wondering a look as if she were trying to figure out why she was saying all of this.

"They both agreed on it, Mich." Brian said as he wrapped an arm around her shoulder, attempting to soother her. "We all knew he was going to start dating again soon, even you knew that." He spoke softly to her, careful not to say anything that will have her all over his case.

"I just didn't expect it to be this soon." She shook her head and crossed her arms.

"Well it is," Matt said as he reached across the table and took my hands in his."I even talked to you guys about it a few weeks ago as well and you were all okay with it." He caressed my fingers with his own as he spoke. "The only people that really have a say in this are Valary and me, and as far as I know she's okay with it. I don't mind if she starts dating too, it's something we talked about and thought was the best decision." He glanced at Valary who nodded her head.

My mouth felt dry and a lump was in my throat as I felt my body remain tense from the spotlight I was just in. Matt knew I hated being in the spotlight so I could see why he tried to put the subject to an end and comfort me at the same time. I looked down at my lap feeling embarrassed .

"Hey." I looked up at Matt to see him smiling at me, his hazel eyes shining. I smiled back as I felt the weight lift off my shoulders just a bit. "You wanna go?" He asked as his eyes began to fill with concern. I shook my head, not wanting to ruin his fun with his friends.

"No, I'm fine." I felt him squeeze my fingers reassuringly.

"Ah, she's a trooper." The one named Jason said as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders and laughed. "If you can survive the Wrath of Michelle then you're alright with me." I couldn't help but grin at the name.

"Is she always like this?" I asked softly. He opened his mouth to answer but was cut off.

"Nah, it was after Valary's and Matt's marriage began to fall apart that she started acting like this. But it's only natural for her to want to protect her sister. It surprised all of us when we found out that she was moving out and that they were possibly going to get a divorce. No one expected it." Zacky said sadly as he took a drink from a beer that was in front of him, wrapping an arm around Gena.

"And Valary? She seems to be taking everything so well." I asked wondering how someone could keep their cool so easily. Jason opened his mouth but was once again cut of as Gena began to speak.

"You have to understand that Valary and Michelle are completely different from each other. Different personalities, different perspective on things and different tempers." She pushed her blond hair away from her face. "Valary may be the kinder one but she's tough, she just saves the side for when necessary." I nodded my head beginning to understand. "Michelle, however, acts before she thinks."

Jason opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off by his brother, Matt. "Don't let anything she says get to you, she's lick a chihuahua - all bark no bite."

Matt gripped my hand, catching my attention. "So now you see, it's okay and their is nothing to worry about."

"What about the others?" I asked somewhat intimidated. He raised on eyebrow in confusion as he stared at me, wondering what I was talking about.

"What others?" I pointed towards the other table. "What if they don't like me?" Gena let out a 'psh' sound before placing a soft hand on my wrist. A playful smile was placed on her lips as she looked at the table before focusing her attention on me and leaning forward.

"Valary is a total sweetheart, nothing to worry about her - although she does pack a punch." She said causing Matt to laugh, he obviously remembered something. "Brian is a cool dude," she said earning a 'hm' from Zacky. "No cooler than you baby," she added.

I laughed.

"Johnny is kind of a prankster but is a total softy, he's completely adorable - you're a cutie pie, hun." She said throwing the last comment at Zacky who obviously was about to say something but smiled instead. "Lacey is Johnny's girl friend and sometimes keeps to herself, but don't mind that. When she talks she just wont shut up," she said rolling her eyes.

Again I laughed.

"Michelle, we already told you about her. Just steer clear of her until she gets used to having you around. And last but not least, Leanna." A soft sigh escaped her lips as she said her name. "Leanna is a funny girl. So adorable and just downright cute. She make a joke out of anything and will attempt to make a dirty joke about everything. She's got a strong head on her shoulders though and is pulling through." She smiled sadly as me as she finished naming everybody off.

"I heard about your guys' friend," I swallowed the lump in my throat, "and I'm sorry." Gena smiled as she patted my wrist before sitting back and snuggling up against Zacky. I looked up at Matt to see him smiling at me again, though I could see some pain in his eyes. "I'm sorry," I softly said as I grabbed his hand and gave it a squeeze. He nodded his head giving me a silent thanks.

Everyone began to converse, several conversation occurring at the same time. Some involved music while others were about, hair, touring, dogs, cars, baseball and the beach. Everyone jumped back and fourth into conversations throwing in their comments. I soon found myself befriending Gena, Zacky and as I found their nicknames, the Berry's. They seemed to welcome me in with ease, of course I knew it was easy for Zacky since he had Gena with him to argue with.

Soon there was no more beer and Brian called out to Jason and Matt, telling them to 'get their lazy asses up and do something productive for once,' earning him two birds. In the end they ended up getting up and driving to the store to get more beer, leaving open two spots next to me that were occupied in an instant.

"Hi, I'm Lacey and this is Johnny, although I knew we've already been introduced." She smiled as she nudged Johnny with her elbow. He smiled and waved, giving me a small hey.

"It's nice to meet you two." I smiled.

"Do you want something to drink?" Matt asked as he stood up and pointed at two coolers on the floor. I nodded and asked for a water or a coke, not really caring which one - of course that wasn't a good idea. He refused to get up and get my drink until I told him what I wanted to drink. I told him water or coke and he rejected my request, forcing me to ask for a water.

The four at my table just laughed as Matt went to fetch my water.

"So how long have you and Matt been dating?" Lacey asked as she took a sip of Johnny's beer. He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to him and kissing her head. The gesture was small but so sweet and adorable it was difficult to restrain and 'aw.'

"We've been dating for about two and a half weeks. We didn't meet to long ago." I said as Matt returned to the bench, handing me a coke. "Are you kidding me?" I asked with a smile as I looked from my coke to him. He put on an innocent face and looked at me as if he didn't know what he had done wrong.

"What?" He asked as a smile began to form on his lips, his dimples slowly beginning to appear. I scoffed as I shook my head, earning another laugh from Zacky, Johnny, Gena and Lacey.

"You're an idiot." I cracked open the soda and took a sip from it.

"Natalie says that you guys have been dating for two and a half weeks." Gena says as she placed a hand against Zacky's cheek, petting it.

Matt nodded his head and took a sip from my coke. "Yeah, two and a half weeks."

"Where'd you guys meet?" Johnny asked. I felt myself panic and my body tense up again as I looked at Matt, praying to God he had answer. Matt cleared his throat and reached his hand over the table and grabbing mine, once again caressing my fingers soothingly.

"I made her miss her bus." He casualy said as he casted a glance in my direction. It took me a moment to realize he was asking me to play along with his story.

"Yeah," I nodded my head and let out a soft chuckle making him smile. "He made me miss my bus and offered me a ride because he felt bad." I smiled back at him, this time he chuckled.

"What did you do?" Zacky asked as he downed the rest of his beer.

"Hm?" Matt raised an eyebrow.

"What did you do to make her miss her bus?" He asked against as he threw the empty can towards the trashcan and making it in. I nodded my head in approval.

"Um," he fought with the words. "I - It's kind of embarrassing really." He looked at me now begging me to find another lie for me to weave. He gripped my hand tighter, letting me know that he was going to back me up as well as attempting to calm me down.

"He knocked me over." I quickly blurted. Everyone stared at me for a moment attempting to process what I had just said. "I don't have a car and I take the bus wherever I go and I went grocery shopping for my home and was in a hurry to get to the stop and he sort of accidentally stepped in the way and knocked me over." I said casting a glace at him.

"Aw, poor thing." Gena cooed as she pouted making Lacey laugh.

"And her bags ripped," Matt added. Everyone re-focused their attention from me to him. "Her grocery bags ripped and scattered all over the floor. So I helped her pick them up and offered her a ride home because I felt like such a dick." I laughed as he added the last comment.

"Hey Matt, you sure that was an accident and not you trying to pick up chicks?" Johnny joked earning a laugh from Zacky and Brian from the other table who was obviously listening in on our story.

"That's adorable," Lacey smiled. "You can find love in the random-est places." I felt myself tense up upon hearing that word. Love, wow, something you do not throw around lightly and a word I take seriously.

"Well, I think it's to soon to call it love." Matt nervously chuckled as he looked at me.

"Yeah, um, I think it's more of... deep like." I looked to Matt who smiled with appreciation. I felt my heart jump as I tried to get over what Lacey had said, but it had me stuck. Did they all think that we were in love?

"Well, whatever it is I hope is lasts because you guys are just too damn adorable." Gena said as she rested her head on Zacky's shoulder. "Aren't they Zack?" She asked Zacky who was talking to Johnny.

"What?" He looked down at her.

"I said aren't Matt and Natalie adorable? Say yes," she smacked his arm.

"Oh, yeah - cute as hell." I laughed as he averted his attention back to Johnny and their conversation. She let out a sigh and muttered 'boys' as she sat up right again.

"What do you do for a living, Natalie?" Lacey asked as Johnny kept his grip around her waist.

"I actually don't have a job right now, but I'm looking." I said as I took another sip of my coke. "The place I worked at got shut down, so did my second job I had." I shrugged my shoulders attempting to brush it off.

"This economy is tough." Lacey sadly stated.

"Yeah, but I gotta try." I smiled.

"See, she is a trooper." Zacky smiled. "Just like Jason and Matt said." He stopped smiling for a moment and looked around. "We're are those two dip-shits, anyways?" He continued to scan the park before he turned his head to face the other table. "Brian, call the Berry's and tell them to hurry their asses, I need some type of hydration."

"Drink some water," Gena said as she pointed at the coolers.

"Babe, do you not know me at all?" Zacky asked as he looked at Gena. She let out a 'whatever' before standing up and walking to the water cooler, pulling out one coke and three waters before walking back to the bench and sitting down. She handed a water to me and Lacey and kept the other water and coke for herself.

Zacky stared down at her. "What about mine?" He asked.

"Your what?" She snapped the cap off the water and took a sip from it.

"What about my water?" He asked as he pointed to Lacey and I, making us giggle. I looked at Matt to see him smiling.

"You didn't want one so I got one for Lacey, Natalie and I. You wanted beer, remember?" She said with a know it all attitude. She giggled as Zacky began to give her a playful glare and tickle her sides, grinning widely. "Zack, stop!" She cried out as she wiggled around in her seat. Everyone at both table laughed at her, but we all laughed harder at Zacky's expression when Gena pour the water on his head.

"Here's your water!" She laughed out as she stood up and jumped away from the bench and running away. Zacky screamed like George of the Jungle as he ran after her, gently tackling her to the floor.

"Tackle football!" Brian exclaimed as he stood up from his spot on the bench and picked up Michelle, throwing her over his shoulder and running to where Zacky and Gena were, Michelle laughing the whole way.

I couldn't help but laugh as the girls stood up and began to run around as the guys chased them, taking them down gently from time to time, each time funnier then the last. Johnny being the jokster he is began to tickle Lacey until she started running and chased after her with water bottles, handing one to Zacky and Brian. I laughed harder and shook my head and averted my gaze to Matt to see him smirking at me with a mischances glint in his eyes.

"Matt?" He smirk widened as he reached for Gena's still full water bottle. "Matt, don't you even think about it." I attempted to keep a straight face but ended up giggling because I knew what he was gonna do. I bolted from my spot on the bench and ran around giggling maniacally as he chased me with the water. "Matt, no!" I laughed as he tossed some of the water on me.

He laughed out loud every time I squealed from the cold water coming in contact with my skin. I continued to dart around going in zigzags and circles as I attempted to get away from him. My chest heaved as I felt an arm wrap around my waist and I squealed even louder when I was picked up and span around.

Once I was placed on the floor I smacked the bottom of the water bottle splashing some of the left over water in his face. "You are so dead." I cried out with laughter as I began to run again, only to be gently tackled to the ground by Matt who turned his body so that he came in contact with the floor, then rolling over so that he was on top of me.

We were both laughing and giggling as we stared at each other, both of our chests heaving from all the running. I couldn't help but stare into his beautiful hazel eyes that seemed to captivate me every time I looked at them. They were so light they almost seemed green at times. But his eyes only added to his beauty. His smooth clean skin, adorable dimples that always seemed to make me smile and his pink lips that seemed so kissable.

Our laughter began to die down as he pressed his forehead against my own, smiling softly at me as his eyes shifted from my eyes to my lips. Chills erupted through my body as I felt his warm breath hit my face, goosebumps breaking out over my tan skin. He softly pressed his nose against my own and rubbed them together. I closed my eyes when I felt his breath against my lips.

I swallowed the lump in my throat and felt my chest to slightly heave again. I licked my lips and felt my eyes roll back as he ran a hand through my hair then caressing my cheek before softly grazing my lips with his own. He pressed his lips against my own a second time. I found myself kissing him back just as softly. With a final kiss he pulled away and dipped his head down and pressing his lips against my ear.

"Touch down."

I felt my heart thump wildly in my chest as I opened my eyes. I laughed as I shook my head while I called him a dork, earning a small chuckle as he stood and helped me up off the ground. After making sure all grass was off I looked over at the girls to see that they were thrown over the guys' shoulders who walked towards the benches with triumphant grins.

I laughed at the scene.

Matt and I walked towards the bench to see that Jason and Matt had returned with the beer. I sat down next to Jason who wiggled his eyebrows at me. "What?" I laughed as I took a sip of my semi-warm coke.

"I saw that smooch Matt planted on you," he said throwing Matt a glance and giving him a thumbs up.

"What smooch, who'd I kiss?" Matt Berry asked as he leaned in on the conversation.

"Not you, dumb-ass, Matt." Jason said as he pointed to the other Matt. "He kissed Natalie after tackling her to the ground. Very well played out my friend, kudos." He raised his beer to cheer Matt before chugging half of it down.

"He kissed you?" Gena asked from her spot against Zacky. I blushed a nodded earning a small 'aw' from her and Lacey who sat at the other table and another chuckle from Matt. "Asshole," she smacked Zacky's arm.

"What I'd do?" Zacky exclaimed as he looked at her with wide curious 'what the hell' eyes. "Gena, what's up?"

"You didn't kiss me when you tackled me to the ground, that's what you didn't do." She huffed and rolled her eyes. It was obvious that she was playing around but still had him going.

"I didn't know I was supposed to." Her jaw dropped as she turned to face him.

"Matt kissed Natalie when he tackled her and it was probably one of the sweetest kisses she's ever had. Too bad I wont be able to say that." I laughed at Zacky's face as he remained shocked.

"Thanks man," Zacky said reaching behind Gena and punching Matt in the shoulder, who in return laughed and shrugged his shoulders.

"Not my fault."

For the next few hours we all laughed and joked about random things, but I knew introductions weren't over yet. I knew they liked me because of my playful side, but how will they deal when the truth comes out? And what about the adjust me from Matt and Valary to Matt and me? I don't know how things are going to turn out or if they will even go the way we want them too. I just pray to God that Michelle wont try anything else and remains as calm as her sister. However, there is still one person who I haven't had the chance to talk to, but hopefully we do.

Good God, wait until Eddie hears about this.
