3.4 Stranger


Mathew was out the front playing ball with his Dad when Ariel walked by and distracted him. "Hi." Mathew called after her. Ariel just looked at him and continued walking.
"So you like her."
"Dad, leave it."
"Have you asked her to the prom yet?"



"No. She won't speak to me. When am I going to meet your girlfriend Paris?"
"I have arranged for her to come over for dinner tonight."
Later that evening Will had taken Heather out to the movies and dinner so Spencer could have the place to himself. He knew that Spencer was nervous about Mathew and Paris meeting. Heather had cooked the meal because Spencer was a lousy cook. He tried to cook toast once and burnt it.
The doorbell rang and Mathew ran for the door before Spencer could get there. "Hello."
"Hi you must be Mathew?"
"And you must be Paris." The tension at the door was awful and even Spencer could see how uncomfortable things were.
"Dinner's ready. Mathew go and sit down." Mathew walked off leaving his Dad just standing there.



"You look wonderful Paris."
"Thanks." as she got closer to Spencer.
"Sorry about Mathew answering the door. He will come around."
"So you have told him then?"
"No." 
"Spenc you promised you would tell him."
"I know sorry. Let's go and have dinner." escorting her to the dining room.


They all sat eating dinner not talking until Mathew broke the silence. "So, Paris how long have you been sleeping with my Dad?"
Spencer was choking on his food when he yelled, "Mathew, stop this now." 


"Why should I? She hates me and you still spend more time with her than me."
Paris interrupted the argument, "Can I say something?"
Mathew looked at her and replied, "Go on then."
"First, both of you sit down." They both took there seats again as instructed.



"Thank you. Mathew I love your Dad but I am not trying to take him away nor do I want to replace your Mum. I would like us to have a relationship but not as Mother and son but as friends. Would that be ok?"
"I guess so." as he looked sorry.
Spencer then said, "Mathew I have a confession to make, Paris isn't my girlfriend. Paris is my fiancée. She has agreed to marry me."
Mathew was in shock, "Does Aunt Heather and Uncle Will know?"
"You are the first." Spencer reassured him.


"Are you ok Mathew? You look pale." Paris asked." The doorbell went interrupting the conversation.
"I'll get it." Mathew offered, he needed a distraction anything to get is mind off the fact his Dad was serious about her and that they were getting married. When he opened the door there was a girl standing there.
"Can I help you?"


"I'm an exchange student and was told to come to this address. My name is Snowie Winter."
"Nice to meet you I'm Mathew Dark.

Showing her inside he asked, do you like music?

"Love it."




Spencer came out to see who was at the door and Mathew introduced them, continuing through to the conservatory Mathew said, "Here's the jukebox. It has loads of different music on here."

"Do you play an instrument?" Snowie asked

"No, I play computer games mostly. Why?"

"I think the drums would suit you best."



Thanks to Pixx O'Eight for the loan of Snowie Winter

  1. Well the Matthew Paris initial meeting was awkward to say the least. I'm sorry but he was just being bratty at the table, and rude. I know it may be hard for him to accept but his dad has needs as well. I'm hoping he will come around....edenz~

    1. Edenz,

      Mathew is being bratty. He hates the though of his Dad with anyone but you are right Spencer does have needs. Paris wants a relationship with me, I just hope he will come around.

      Thanks for reading :)

  2. Matthew was definitely fidgety and upset in this one. And then to meet Snowie! heh... did they know they were getting an exchange student? I hope the little family comes around and he accepts Paris and Spencer for what they have.

    1. Zhippidy,

      Mathew was upset at his Dad. They knew about Snowie but Mathew had no idea until she was at the door. Now he has to deal with a girl. Lol.

      Thanks for reading :)

  5. ~ I did finally vote, I picked Ayden & Harmony,I think they do not sound too bad with Merrick! LOL!
    ~ Matt & Paris I think will be friends as his dad loves her,& he has always been close with his dad,up until recently,& that is because he was sure his father would forget about him because of Paris,but his father has always been there for him,& he is older now & will not be at home that much longer,& his dad will be alone!
    ~ Matt seemed to not know about the exchange student,or maybe there is too much going on to wrap his mind around to remember!
    ~ It is strange to see Snowie in a different story,it always throws me when I see a character,& is not the character I know in the other story,but I think you know her well enough to carry that off!Could there be a love connection here!LOL!
    ~ Loved it & can not wait for more! (",)

  7. Wow, what a shock for Matthew, but I like how Paris handled it. Now maybe Matthew will be able to accept her.

    Snowie is the exchange student! I can't wait to see what happens next!

  8. LOL, Matthew being so blunt at dinner time. O_O
    At least Paris handled it well and talked to him rather than making things worse by stomping off and giving him the silent treatment. Snowie, a new character, cool... =D
