Trapped Underneath a Secret

4- An Amazing Night

          He let go of my hand slowly and went back to cooking our dinner. He smiled so much, I was so happy this was the beginning of an amazing night and a new chapter. "Are you having fun, beautiful angel" I blushed so much and laughed softly, "Yes, of course," I laughed, "You are making this an amazing night, that I have dreamed about for so long!" He finished cooking and we ate on his couch with a glass of wine, watching a movie. The Alfredo was wonderful and full of flavors. I thought I was in a fancy restaurant, in my own world I was. I was in a fancy restaurant, with a wonderful guy, just me and him, and we just stare at each other's eyes and hold our hands while we have so fun.
           I didn't want the night to end, "Bry, this is honestly something I have never had and I loved every single bite!" "I was so worried you'd hate it, but I'm so happy you did!" He smiled and took our plates, and he kissed me ever so softly on my lips as he took mine. I felt as if everything on earth didn't exist except me and Bry. I felt as if the cosmos collided with our lips and it was breath taking. That moment felt like an eternity that I didn't want to end.
I quickly was brought to reality when I heard my phone ring and Brian answered it,"Hello?" I could hear the voice on the other line.... it was my boss,"Oh, um.... is Clara there? This is Chief Brandel and I need to speak with Detective Clara Bean." "Oh, hey yes of course. Here she is." He handed me my phone "Hey chief. What's up?" "We need you in immediately, I can tell your occupied and frankly I'm proud of you. But Mr. Carl Brown was just at you house. We need this case shut before that piece of scum get to you! Please be safe!! Now we need you here pronto and please be safe... maybe have your date escort you to the precinct" He hung up, chief is like that. He's fair and straight to the point but he also cares.  
           Brian over heard and he got kinda worried and angry that Carl, our lead suspect, was at my house and I didn't say anything. "It wasn't........" before I could finish he interrupted me, "Clara, why didn't you tell me? I get so worried over stuff like this..." I got so scared he would go off on me... but he didn't "Are you ok? What did he do to you?!" I explained what happened and how it just made me feel uncomfortable, he understood and held my hand and held me tight, which did make me safe. "Well I'm taking you to your precinct, and I don't care what you say." I smiled and let him cause I knew he would.
           We went to my apartment and I changed in nice work clothes but easy to run and chase people in I put my gun holster in and my badge, I put my hair up and wore flats. I walked out and he looked at me like I was just as stunning as earlier, it made me blush and smile."You honestly look breathtaking" I kissed him and grabbed my phone and pocketbook, "Are we ready to go" he nodded and kissed me back. I made sure I locked my door and we went in his car and drove to my precinct. We talked and he told about how worried he was and how safe he wanted me to be. I knew he needed reassurance so I grabbed his hand and held it. I could tell he relaxed a little and that made me smile. I got out and I told him thank you and he said "Its my job to protect you." It made me so happy, and I smiled really big! I can't wait for what the future holds us.... What I didn't know is what the present had in store for me...
