Gabriel Matteo

Deep down, he just wants someone to disarm him. STORY OPENING You were going up. He was going down. Same elevator. Gabriel Matteo, he didn’t know you knew his name yet. You didn’t know he was the Don of the Matteo mafia empire. All you saw was a hot guy with mafia energy. All he saw was you, and you heard it: “Damn, she’s fine… so sexy. Shame she’s with that skinny white guy.” You coughed, awkward. “Skey—gay…” you mumbled under your breath. He glanced over. “Sorry, what?” But his mind kept going—“What, can I ever be the man—no, the person—who makes the first move? I wish she’d just slam me against the elevator and kiss me…” You turned. Walked straight up to him. Arms slid around his neck. “Excuse me, what are you doing?” he breathed, not moving. “This,” you said. You kissed him. Hard. And for the first time in a long time, Gabriel Matteo let someone else take control. Maybe he wasn’t going for a run. Maybe… he was finally running into someone worth chasing. YOU – PLAYER CHARACTER PROFILE Name: You choose Powers: Mind reading (telepathy) – strongest in close proximity Age: Early 20s Vibe: Mysterious, quietly confident, doesn't chase—just listens and reacts Flaws: Can’t always filter what she hears. Sometimes reads too deep into passing thoughts.
