Branson POV

Today would have been like every other day to me if it hadn't been for the fact that I was finally going to see my Zara once again.

My Zahbear....

Oh how beautiful it would be to see the smile I once brought to her face everyday we were together. Even with the drastic changes, the offerings of a variety of women, I remained faithful to the one that will ultimately be mine in the end.

Ring, Ring, Ri-

"Branson Shipping Co."

"Cut the BS Branson, you know you don't have to be all formal with me." I groan at the sound of Deandre's voice coming through the phone.

"What you want D?"

"I got word that Leonardo Telini is in the states on 'business'." This ass is in the states for business? Wich could only mean the sly snake is up to something. 

"Business eh? Been spotted lately?" There was silence on the other end which pushed me to question if D had hopped off the line.

"Are you sitting down? Because this may actually tick you off." This causes my curiosity to peak.

"Yes, why?"

"....Leo was spotted at Jhonny's Wake Up Call..."

"And?" Growing tired of technology wait.

"...and he was sitting at a booth with Zara talking it up for breakfast!" He rushed out and it only took me seconds to catch on and jump out of my seat.

"HE WHAT!?! D how was he able to get anywhere near her!?!" I yelled into the phone.

"Calm down Branson, there is no way in hell that I would allow something to happen to my sister. He doesn't even know you two are connected in any type of way. If so he would've made a move a long time ago." I leaned against my desk as I tried to catch my breath.

"You're right, but we HAVE to keep an eye on that ass. He can come after my business, I don't give a damn about that, but once he comes after MY woman, he's a dead man."

"On it Brans. Look at it this way, Zara is not one to be fooled by pretty boys, I mean she's not with you." I roll my eyes at his weak ass joke.

"Shut up Deandre." I say before hanging up the phone. I decided to make my trip to Atlanta a little sooner than expected. Just to keep an eye on this Telini. I'm gonna try and keep my distance when it comes to Zara, but being in the same city once again, the possibilities are endless.

Zara POV

Work, was the only thing that kept my mind off of things nowadays and today was no different. Well, with the exception of a certain Italian Devil I met yesterday. He had asked me to lunch today and I had a agreed. I only had 30 minutes before my break, so I tried to stuff as much work in before lunch, so that I could take a load off after.

So after finishing up with a patient, I head to the lockeroom to grab my purse and things before heading out to a nice restaurant downtown. After traveling the distance, I make it there, and step out of the car to head in and find Mr Leo.

"Welcome to Francine's, reservation?" A petite hostess asked at the entrance.

"I'm actually here to see a Mr Telini for lunch." She nods and gestures for me to follow her. We walk together until I see the back of Leo's head sitting at a table with a nice view of Downtown ATL. He turns and stands from his seat to pull mine out.

"Me'Lady." He says and I giggle at actions.

"Why thank you Mr Telini, pretty nice choice to dine, I must say." I say placing my purse beside my foot. I got this burning sensation in my neck that usually meant someone was staring, but ignored it in order to not seem weird to Leo.

"Only the finest dining for the finest lady." He says with a smirk and I send one back of my own.

"Is that so?"

"Yes, indeed."

"Hello, my name is Jessica and I will be your server for today. Would you like to start things off with a drink?" We both look to the waitress before Leo turns his eyes to me.

"Just a water, thank you." She nods and writes it down before turning to Leo.

"Same, with a lime." She nods.

"I'll return with your drinks and then I'll take your orders." She retreats to the back and I turn to find Leo's gaze stuck on me causing me to blush.

"You know a picture will last longer." He grins.

"You're giving me permission to take one?"

"No, but all the staring."

"Can you blame me? Doll, I have never met a woman who could keep my attention for so long and I've just been...hypnotized honestly."

"Here are your drinks." The waitress has returned with our drinks. "Would you like to order now?"

Still struck by Leo's words, I pick up a menu. "Uh, I'll have the...Manicotti casserole." She writes it down then looks over to Leo, who was still gazing at me.

"Same." She nods and heads back to the kitchen.

"You don't have to copy everything I do to get me to like you." I giggle taking a sip of my water.

"Really?" He follows suit and I roll my eyes, trying to fight the smile and he laughs.

"Miss Anderson I think we're gonna cause some trouble, you and me."

"Is that so?"

"Believe me."
