Always and Forever

Chapter 4

He took her to the restaurant, and when she saw which restaurant he was taking her to, she was in awe. She couldn't speak she knew it was expensive she was unsure if she was going to let him take her there. He looked at her up and down without her noticing he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Are you sure this is where you want to go?" She asks surprised that she was there. This was the most expensive restaurant in town.

"What do you mean?" He was confused

"You know this is a very expensive restaurant, and-" he inturpted her.

"Money doesn't matter its all about you, and you deserve this." He looked at her to make sure she heard him. She smiled and took his hand and they walked inside. It was even more spectacular on the inside. She gasped, he noticed and it made him happy, to know she liked it. As they waited for the waiter get there table she looked around. The lights were dim, on the roof was a candle lit chandelier. There were violinist playing music. There were velvet curtains open showing the town. She then felt Robins hand on the small of her back, leading her to the table they were at. They sat separated from everyone else they sat so you could see almost everything. He pulled out her chair so she could sit.

"I got it"

"I know, but could you give me the satisfaction being a gentleman." He said waiting for her to sit.

"If it will make you feel nice about yourself." They laughed then ordered there food.

"So do you have any family members here" she asks trying to fill the silence that had taken over.

"Well, other of my parents had pasted a few years ago, I have a younger brother name john, and a 4 year old son, Roland."Regina had raised her eyebrows showing him to further explain the child.

"His mother?" She asks kind of confused.

"She died giving birth," he said as he put his head down.

Regina was now embarrassed for making him explain. "Oh I'm so sorry, where is he now?" She asked wondering if Robin was here where was his son.

"He is with my brother John" he says. She nodded, feeling very awkward at this point. It got silent for a while then the waiter came with there food and interrupted the silence.

"Are you OK" he asks seeing how her mood has changed. He knew why but wanted her to explain to him.

"Me? Um," she paused, "yeah I'm fine" she says with a sigh. He raised an eyebrow. "It just I see you differently" she stopped to look at him seeing how her words has disappointed him, she refraised, "you look more vulnerable to me, you have a sons and a dea-" she didn't want go there she knew it was a whole she couldn't get herself out of.

He grabbed her hand which was on the table she froze, "Regina, I am the same person you know me as, just with a bigger story. There is no need to feel any different, about me. OK?"

"Ok" she smile, the way he fixed the situation made her like him a lot more than she already did. She was falling for him, she didn't want to, but she was. He squeezed her hand and they talked the night away.

- Later that Night -

The date was coming to an end and Robin had played for the food then took her home. She was about to walk up stairs she stopped.

"Would you like to come up?" She said wishing she hadn't, but wanting him to say yes all at the same time.

"Yeah, I would love that." She smiled and took his hand. Then walked up to her apartment.

When they got there she took his and her jacket and put it away. They sat on the she was closer to him than she intended. She could tell he liked it. She looked up at him to really take in his features, but before Ashe could see him his lipsa met hers. It took her by surprise, but she couldn't help but kiss him back. His hand moved from waist to her back so he could pull her closer. It wasnt a long kiss but to them it felt like they've been kissing forever. She didn't want to break the kiss but she did and they parted. Then they just sat there on her couch, they watched TV until they fell asleep. In each others arms.

- The next Day -

Regina woke before Robin, she moved from in his arms careful not to wake him. She wanted to look nice when he woke. so she went to her room and took a shower and changed. When she came out he was already up. He sat on the couch trying wake him self up fully. Then Regina walks over.

"Morning" she said as she sat next to him, "not that I want to kick you out, or anything but I just think that you should go get your son from wherever he is right now."

He stood up and wrapped his arms around her waist, "I should, but don't want to," he said then kissed her this time more passionately than the last time. She moaned.

"Robin, as much as I want you to stay you have to go and I'll see you later, maybe this time I can come to your place." She said as she removed his hands from her waist. He kissed her one more time before leaving.

After she left she had threw herself of her couch. Taking a huge breath. Then she looked over at the clock '7:45' good thing she had gotten ready ahead of time. She had to be at work in little bit so she just grabbed her purse, jacket and left.

When she got to work walking through the hallways was like walking down a runway everyone was star in at her and she didn't care to know why. When she was about to go inside of her office she was stopped by Sydney's voice.

"Wow Mrs. Mills, what gotten into you?" She ignored him. He noticed that she didn't correct him like she normally does when he says 'Mrs' instead of 'Ms'. She walked in her office and started her day, about 2 hours in Sydney came in with a large bouquet of longstem red roses. She looked at him like he crazy.

"Oh, no, these are not from me someone dropped them off for you," he paused, "oh and there's a note."

She took the flowers and read the note on the note it said '7622 friarbrook rd --- see you there tonight' she knew who it was from.

She smiled and noticed that Sydney was still there, she ignored him again and looked for a vase in her office she knew she had one. Sydney had left and someone else had walked in she didn't know who. She was still looking for a vase, she was standing on a ladder looking at the top of a shelf when she found the vase. The person spoke.

"Hello there," they said.

"Robin!" She said as she turned around forgetting she was still on the ladder and fell off. She braced herself to hit the ground but when she opened her eyes she saw she was in his arms. In that whole process she had somehow dropped the vase and it broke.

"Well, I'll take that as a hi," he said while laughing a bit he didn't pout her down until they were away from the glass. Regina went to get a broom the clean up the glass.

"Sorry, I uh forgot that I was up there" Regina said as she started to sweep up the glass.

"Oh no that was my fault, I scared you, here let me." He said as he took the broom from her. She didn't want him to but he insisted. When he finished they sat there and talked. Until she had to get back to work.
