Chapter 10

Matthew Kelenny, with beauty as his middle name, decided to play a con tonight. His brown skin beautifully exhibited the grey of his eyes. Walking up to the bar, he ordered whisky, sitting and sipping.

Taking his last puffs of courage, he finally turned to her. Stella Mauel, eighteen and cheeky, noticed his gaze upon her and seized a moment to glance at her admirer.

His marvelous eyes kept her looking, "What? Poop on my face?"

Matthew grinned, easy, "If elegance is poop, then so be it."

She almost choked at his attempt on flirting, "You don't happen to know I'm involved, do you?"

Matthew raised a brow, "Better looking?"

"I doubt, " she replied, "now he's gotten a gift beating from Andrew Stephen."

The first name that would get into anyone's head, "Thomas Becker's your boyfriend?" He clearly showed his disgust.

She nodded, "Don't say that too loud."
