RUN

CHAPTER 4 (PT2)

Smiling I pulled the door open.

"Hey Brandon", I said putting on the best smile I could muster.

"Hey", he whispered, " you look ravishing" he said while looking my complete attire.

I chuckled softly, " well you look rather ravishing your self".

He wasn't wearing anything too fancy but he did look good. What he had on was a whit button up shirt and a casual jean pants.

Brandon was very easy on the eyes he had snow white skin with beautiful emerald green eyes and his hair was dark brown with pale highlights in it, his body wasn't the built type either he was tall and lean .  

Clearing his throat to get my attention because clearly I wasn't focused on him, taking one last glance at his physic I looked up back to his face, that's when I noticed the roses in his hands.

Smiling even more I took the flowers from him. 

"Brandon...you didn't have to".

"I wanted to... plus what kind of gentleman would I be if I didn't bring you flowers".

" Give me a sec", I said to him as I hurry to the kitchen grabbing a tall glass cup to keep the flowers in since I didn't have a vase I'd have to get one tomorrow filling it with water I placed it on the counter and head back to Brandon who was still at the door.

"I'm ready", I said making my presence know since his back was turned towards me. Taking his out stretched hand I closed the door behind me.

Noticing he drove so if anything went wrong tonight I'll have to take an uber back home shaking those thoughts from my head. I followed Brandon to his car, he opened the door so that I could get into his car closing the door behind me.

Then he got into to his side of the vehicle and started it, the drive to the restaurant was off to an awkward start Brandon didn't ask any questions he didn't glance at me.....nothing so the car was silent all the way to the restaurant maybe he was shy or nervous what ever it is I hope it won't continue during our dinner.

When we finally got there he turned to me and smiled. he went on to explain why he didn't really talk to me during the drive he said that basically that he was afraid of  a car accident and he didn't want to be distracted and end up in one, it was a good enough explanation but I just don't  get why he didn't say that before we got into the car.

Since we didn't have a reservation we had to wait a couple minutes to get a table, Finally we got one at the very back of the the restaurant.

Brandon held on to my hand leading me to our table it felt a little personal but I didn't want to be rude so I let him guide us by holding my hand. when we were finally seated the waiter placed a glass of iced water in front of and asked for our orders.

After talking our orders the waiter left, leaving us alone the awkward silence continue.

Clearing my throat I asked " so.... how are you" 

"I'm okay I'm sorry this is all so awkward its just that I've liked you for so long and last night I knew all things that I was going to say, but now that you're in front of me I forget everything  that I had in mind" .

I smiled at that, he was nervous nothing was wrong with that.

After the waiter came back with our food the conversation ran freely we talked about family, work , the things we like , the things we don't like everything was just beautiful even after we finished our dinner we ordered a bottle of wine and drink talk and laughed by the time we were finished I was a drunk giggling mess, Brandon wasn't because he had to drive,

After making sure I was buckled in safely into the car seat he kissed my forehead and walked to the other side I dozed off after that.

My vision was very hazy when I got up, I woke up just in time to see the car pulling up behind my car in the drive way. when the car stopped I got up and pulled the door before  Brandon could have done it.

Walking me to the door before I could reach it Brandon held on to my hand resulting in me turning around towards him.

" Could we do this again sometime", he whispered .

Smiling I kissed his cheek and whispered back " yes".

I could see his cute boyish grin even though it was dark, turning back towards my door I opened it with my key glancing back at Brandon before going inside I whispered goodnight then close the door, leaning against I sighed.

Dropping my purse to the floor I called out for Joshua, She wasn't responding  but that didn't worry me she is not really a responsive cat, noticing that her food plate was empty I refilled both her water pan and her food plate.

Pulling my hair out of my high ponytail I shook it out to making my hair scalp breath.

Because I was currently standing at the window I stared out at the sky thinking how beautiful it looks tonight the moon especially, glancing at it one last time before I head to my bedroom I saw something move in the window's reflection.

Squinting my eyes I look again and there it was in the corner of my kitchen the hooded man , going pale with realization I screamed.

 I didn't get to scream for long though it was cut short with a hand covering my mouth.

I didn't let that stop me, taking my elbow I jabbed it into my attackers stomach , groaning he slammed  my back into the wall so hard I lost my breath. 

Wheezing trying desperately to gather some air my attacker grabbed my hands locking it behind my back while violently spinning me towards the wall with my hands still behind my back grabbing my throat I begged "please don't kill me" I rasped out tears slipping down my cheeks.

his lips touched my ears and I try to pull away my body in disgust and fear but then he whispered those seven words and my world froze.

" I always knew you'd beg me Andrea".

I felt extremely bad because I uploaded half of a chapter just because I was lazy omg I'm so ashamed😓😓 so I was determined to uploaded the second one today and I did..... so yea.
