Show Me The Way To Your Heart (Pentagon Series Book III)

Truly

Ana came home from work; when she saw the bouquet of flowers on the den she rushed towards the flowers and look for the note. It came from Johnny, Ana flash her wide smile, Johnny continue to sends her flowers even if they are official already it's not every day though but Johnny never failed to surprise him.

'Meet me at Alexandra's Kitchen

Eight pm tonight'

Forever yours,

Johnny

That's what the note said. Ana put the note over her chest, she can't control her smile. She and Johnny had been together for almost five months now, but Johnny never changed, he's still the same sweet Johnny. When Ana saw the clock she rushed herself towards her bathroom.

It's six thirty, she can't be late, and so she took her shower quickly. When she opened her closet Ana find it hard to choose the dress for the occasion. She pulled the red evening dress; she had her make-up and hair done already, when she wore the dress and check her reflection on the mirror Ana is not convinced.

"Too much!" she said to herself, she went back to the closet and take another dress when she fit the other dress and check her reflection on the mirror she's not convinced again. Ana fit ten dresses already and she can't find what she's looking for. She wanted to impress Johnny, but she doesn't want to be obvious that she tried really hard.

She looked in her closet closely; check every dress she had there, she saw the white laced dinner dress, she forget that dress already, and it's still had the price tag on. Ana took the dress and look at it closely, It does embellish with red ribbon on the waist, it's below her knee, Ana took the price tag off then she hurriedly tried the dress. When Ana looked at her reflection on the mirror she smiled with triumph, it looks good on her, it shows some skin on her shoulders but it's not too revealing and the fabric fits on her waist and hips perfectly.

She paired the dress with red hills and purse, Ana checked her reflection on the mirror again, she's satisfied, she looked simple yet elegant. She flashed her sweet smile when she heard her doorbell rang, Johnny said his driver would pick her up. She checks herself again on the mirror and went outside.

When they reach Alexandra's Kitchen, A valet open the door for her, he helps her went outside the car, when she is out from the car the valet held her one piece of long stemmed yellow rose. Ana felt wonder-stricken, but she accepted the flower from the valet.

There's a red carpet spread from the parking driveway to the front door. Ana walks towards the door, the front door man opens the door for her, he greeted her 'good evening your highness' then gave her the long stemmed yellow rose.

Ana chuckles, she's really amused "What is going on?" she asks the door man.

"Why don't you find it yourself missy" the door man said.

Ana went inside, Alex welcomes her as she handed her another long stemmed roses.

"What is going on Alex?" Ana furrowed her eyebrows.

"Don't furrow you brows" Alex warned her "It would ruin the evening" Alex teases her; she guided her inside the restaurant.

Ana is surprised again; there is no one in the restaurant. That's pretty alarming, Alexandra's Kitchen is always fully book and you need to make a reservation or appointment to get a table, she looked at Alex confused.

"Are you closing down?" Ana is worried.

"What?" Alex chuckles "No, Johnny rented the whole place for your dinner tonight."

"He what?" Ana gasp 'how much it cost?' she asks only to herself.

Alexandra's Kitchen is one of the most romantic restaurants in California, but tonight, it's extra romantic, lights are dimmed and there's scented candles everywhere and roses petals on the floor. There's also bouquet of flowers surrounding the whole place. And there's a small number of orchestra playing her favorite song "nearness of you"

"Why don't you get your shining armor?" Alex gently pushes her, Ana moves forward then she saw Johnny standing on the middle, and there are no other tables but the table in front of Johnny.

He looks so dignified in his navy blue suit, he's not wearing a tie but he's so dapper. Johnny smiled at her and walks slowly towards her. His left hand holds two long stemmed yellow roses while the other hand is inside his pocket.

Johnny gave her the flowers and said "Hello my queen"

Ana laughs softly while she accepts the flowers from Johnny. "What's the meaning of this?" She asks sweetly.

"Five stems of roses means five words." Johnny gazed at her then he slowly touch each and every flowers as he said the words "I love you very much"

Ana is looking at each of the flowers Johnny is touching and when she realized what Johnny just said she rapidly turns her eyes at him. Her question 'what's the meaning of this' regards with 'why Johnny rented the whole place?', hearing those five words "I love you very much" is the least she expects from him, she never imagined Johnny would say those words, the words she's been longing to hear from Johnny for some time now.

Ana's eyes turn misty, the words she's been waiting for...all she ever wanted was to hear three words but Johnny made it five. 'I love you very much' Ana chuckles to avoid her tear to fall but she failed.

"Is there something wrong?" Johnny plastered a very anxious look, he hold her shoulders while his brows are furrowed as he studied her face. "Did I say something you don't like?" Johnny asks again.

Ana bow her head a bit to wipe her tears, then she look at Johnny "No, I'm great did you just say I love you very much to me?" She's overwhelmed.

"Oh" Johnny put both of his hands on his pocket and straighten his back "Did i?" he teases Ana, he flash his innocent look again.

"Nah" Ana laughs softly "there must be something wrong with my ears" she said.

Johnny caresses her face, and then he cupped both of his hands on her face. Johnny slowly lean towards her then plant a fast and really brief tender kiss on her lips. Then he looks straight into her eyes and said "I love you very much Ana Vender."

Ana was astonished; she gently pulled her breath and blinks her eyes twice. She might be dreaming, but when Johnny kisses her again and this time it was longer and passionate and when Johnny gently bit her lower lip, she realized she's not dreaming. When he let go of her, Johnny again said the words. 'I love you very much Ana Vender'

"That's seven words" Ana felt a little shy "You're short of flowers."

"Yeah" Johnny took a deep breath "I'll make it up to you" he winked at her then he guide her to their table.
