Problems With Love

Chapter 5

Brandon's POV

Kristen and I walked out of the United Center to my car. "So where are we going for lunch?" she asked. "Well I was thinking Gino's East," I say. Her face light up again. "I love Gino's!!" she says excitedly. We climb in the car and drive to Gino's On the way we talk about the next game mostly. When we got there it was pretty crowded, which we expected. Luckily we were seated really quickly. We ordered our drinks and a large deep dish pizza. Apparently we had the same favorite toppings, sausage and green pepper. While we waited for our food we talked and got to know each other more. The more we talked, the more I wanted to go out with her. We shared a lot of laughs too. I loved how happy and cheerful she was. She could easily light up a whole room.

We kept the convo going as we ate. I felt like I was falling in love with her. I wanted to spend more time with her. After we paid the bill when we were getting ready to leave I asked, "Do you wanna walk down to Watertower Place and shop for a bit?" Kristen smiled. "Sure," We walked down there and looked around. She ended up getting some yoga pants from Pink.

When we were done shopping I took her home. I walked her up to the doorstep. "Thanks for lunch Brandon. I had a really good time," she says. "Thanks I did too," I tell her. "Maybe we could do this again sometime," I continue. She smiled. "Of course!" We hugged before she turned and walked inside. This was the best date ever.

Kristen's POV

The date with Brandon was amazing. We went to Gino's and had some pizza and the shopped for a while. Brandon made me feel really safe. I really wanted to date him. Before going inside, we hugged each other. I swear sparks flew.

"Kris I'm home!!" I yelled as I walk in the door. "Kris!!" I yell again. The all of the sudden I was attacked by water guns. I was completely soaked. I brushed my hair out of my face to see Kris, Andrew Shaw, Nick Leddy, and Corey Crawford dying of laughter. "Who's idea was this?" I question with a hint of anger in my voice. Still laughing, they all pointed to Andrew. "Bitch," I say. "hey we were bored," he admits. I sigh and run up to my room and change. Then I plop on my bed and watch TV and text Brandon. We texted almost all night until we both fell asleep.
