40 Shades Of Bruno

Chapter {13}

"Relatively speaking, What is this woman to you? What's your relationship with her?" A picture of me displayed on the big screen behind him. A smirk played on his lips,

"Such a personal question..." Bruno chuckles nervously "but she is someone special to me."

"And special, you mean girlfriend? I've seen you guys out a couple of times. Are you just talking...working on something towards a relationship" more pictures of us popped up on the screen.

"Yeah, absolutely, I'm more focused on my music more than anything at the moment and we both have an understanding of our limitations."

The crowd does a inclined "Oooh" after his statement. My heart was satisfied with everything he's said—I didn't mind if people knew of us or if they did not..

"I know, she's probably watching the show now, snacking on something" he grinned at the camera and his eyes seemed to look directly to right of the couch where I was sitting. My teeth latched onto other piece of the granola bar in my hand. "Yes...yes I am"

"What's her name?" the Latina woman questioned curiously"Stacy?"

"No,

"Come on Bruno, tell us"

"You know what Martina, tell us about your hubby?"

The woman in her late 30's starts blushing and giggling "I'm currently dating,"

"Ohhh, see can we get a name?"

"...but that's not important"

"I'm not the guest here, you are"

"I'd like to keep my personal life, private. I am dating and we're happy,  and you know that's all that matter"

The crowd applauded him for his own recognizance to find the right way to achieve what he wanted to say. "You're right, we'll be right back after the break"

The tv switched to a Toyota ad, I stare blankly at the tv—I didn't know how to exactly feel anymore. A smirk played on my face and I got up running into the bathroom.

"Alex! We've got reservations at the Lois London and...." Bruno trailed off as he walked into the bedroom seeing rose peddles distributed on the bed and floor with candles lit.

"Alexandria..."

"What?"

"You shouldn't have, we have plans for tonight that we to attend."

"Well, I'm not going. I want to enjoy myself, right here and right now"

"No..."

"What?"

"Get up, and get dressed" he rolled his eyes in what seemed like aggravation and we stood there staring each other down with tensed glares "Now Alex!"

I jumped at his voice and inhaled slowly followed by a slow exhale. "No" I say calmly, patiently. "Alex I said..."

"And I said no!" I stood up walking over to him and glaring him in the eyes. "I set up this romantic setting and you just completely ignore like it means nothing to you. So, no I won't go with or out with you...anywhere"

"Fine, I'll find a date myself"

"Go ahead, it's not like you weren't planning on doing so anyways"
