When Love Finds You

Brandon POV (41)

When i saw her coming out of her room in that red satin dress, which showed off her smooth tanned legs, all the words i had planned to say disappeared, and my heart fluttered.
She looked innocent, sweet and beautiful like a princess, my princess. When i saw her stare at me like that, i saw something i had never seen in her eyes, longing, excitement.
I led her to my car and opened the door for her, then i went to my seat and drove, the ride to the restaurant was silent probably we both were lost in our thoughts.
After a couple of minutes, we arrived at Gramercy Tavern restaurant, i parked the car and went ahead to open the door for her. I planned to make this night memorable for her.
She gave me a warm smile and we walked inside the restaurant, i wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her gently to my side. I wanted everyone here to know she was mine and only mine, i could tell she was uneasy so i left her side when we reached our table and pulled out the chair for her.
You're welcome Mr. Brandon, Miss ....the waiter said nervously waiting.
Shantelle please, the most beautiful woman replied to the waiter.
Miss Shantelle, Mr. Brandon what would you like to order? The waiter whose name was John said.
We will call you when we are ready, thank you John.
Thank you so much for bringing me here, it is a wonderful and exquisite place, so you come here all the time, everyone knows you, Shantelle said.
You're welcome beautiful, i knew you would like it, Oh yes i do, i wanted to bring you here because you're special to me.
I see you're starting to know me really well, so did you bring all your other women here too? Shantelle said.
Haha i am honored, no way i didn't ever bring any one of them here, it was always some random hotel or a rare restaurant, i could never put you in the same place as them.
Really, i am shocked, this place is really nice, i am glad you brought me here and showed me a side of you i didn't know, Shantelle replied.
I know why you're shocked, i wasn't a nice person then and i regret most of the things i did to all those women.
I can't judge you really, we have all done things in our past we are not proud of, so it means a lot when you try to be better and not for anybody but for yourself, Shantelle implied.
I am glad you didn't judge me, you're not only beautiful but good at heart too, anything you like yet on the menu, not sure, okay let's try the seven course meal, is it okay?
Sure Brandon i don't mind, Shantelle said with a smile.
I motioned for the waiter that we were ready to order, he hurriedly walked towards us and got out his note pad, " what will it be Sir?"
The seven course meal and the most expensive wine. The waiter scribbled something on his note pad and looked up again, " Anything else Sir?"
No that will be all for now, thank you, he nodded and stormed off.
So tell me something about yourself that no one else knows, Shantelle said.
Haha that is a tough question, promise me you won't laugh at me when i tell you.
I promise i will try not to laugh at you Brandon, Shantelle said.
Well, can you believe i am so afraid of rats, those small things scare the shit out of me since childhood.
No way, you're kidding haha, of all things i was expecting this wasn't one of them, you know they are harmless, Shantelle said in fits of laughter.
You promised not to laugh, i am not kidding, ever since when i was around 10, good thing no one ever knew about that i would have been humiliated if they did, what did you expect?
Haha pardon me, but i just can't believe it with your physical stature someone can't even think about that, i don't really know what i expected but that wasn't one of them, Shantelle pointed out sarcastically.
The way her soft pink lips lifted upward, her smile was a ray of sunshine i could get used to, the warm glow her happiness gives, for a moment there i wished she would be mine forever. Haha i know what you mean, i just can't help fearing them, they scare me to death, to me i think they are harmful.
