The Boy (Romance)

Chapter 10

Emily gasped a little as she saw the dark red dress and the black shining high heels laying on her bed with a little silver box and a little note attached to it. She walked over to her bed and unfolded the little piece of paper.

Hey princess,
I got you a little present. I hope you like it and it would make me happy if you would wear it for tonight's special event. Don't make me wait for too long :)
~ Brahms

She found herself smiling at the note and opened the box and her eyes immediately widened as she stopped breathing for a short moment. She pulled out a wonderful necklace with diamonds on it and a pair of earrings that matched her outfit. Happiness started to flow through her and she quickly undressed herself and put the dress on. After that, she slipped her feet in her new high heels and was surprised how comfortable and soft the material felt on her skin.
Then, she put make-up on her face and of course she didn't forget about the necklace and the earrings. Now she just had to comb her hair and she decided to leave her hair open and not in a bun. Emily looked in the mirror and whispered a quiet ,,Alright ... let's go" and went down to meet Brahms.

Emily's heart started to beat faster as she got closer to the entrance of the kitchen and she smelled something familiar. Before going around the corner, she stopped in her tracks and checked her appearance. Everything was at its place and she took one last deep breath and stepped into the kitchen. She looked around the room, needing a few seconds to realize what she saw. Her eyes widened yet again and her jaw dropped and she was rooted on the spot. Roses and candle lights decorated the kitchen and in front of her were two plates filled with her favorite meal on the dining table. She also didn't miss the bunch of flowers in a beautiful vase, standing in the middle of the table. The dimmed candle light provided a comfortable, warm and romantic aura and Emily couldn't stop smiling and her heart filled with love.
Suddenly, she felt two strong arms wrapping around her waist from behind and her back leaned against a muscular chest, giving her the warmth she always craves. Closing her eyes, Emily enjoyed this feeling of being protected and taken care of.
,,Brahms" she hummed. She got no response from him but instead, he rested his head on her shoulder and he breathed in her scent and began to give her small butterfly kisses on her neck. She felt like she was in heaven as she leaned on his broad shoulders, tilting her neck so she could give him more access and signaling him that it felt good.
,,Damn, you're so beautiful." He whispered near her ear with his dark, masculine voice and he knew exactly that it always sends shivers down her spine.
,,As you can see, I prepared a little dinner for the both of us and I want us to relax and enjoy this evening. I made sure that everything is save so nobody can get in without permission." Brahms explained and slowly released Emily. She turned around and looked at him, not believing her eyes. Brahms was dressed in a black three piece suit and a few of the first buttons on his shirt were open, revealing a clean shaved chest. He also shaved his beard because she couldn't see any hair showing under his well cleaned mask. His beautiful, messy, brown locks looked like always but you could see that he combed his hair through and to styled them just a little bit and Emily really liked his hair that way. She always loved to drive her hand through his hair when they were kissing and Brahms surely knew that.
,,Wow... Brahms, you look really handsome." She said still surprised.
,,You like it ? I thought I should dress up as well for this occasion." He smiled at her and looked proud of himself.
,,Come on, please take a seat princess." He said softly and gestured with his hand to one of the chairs. Emily nodded and walked to her place. Brahms pulled the chair back and when she sat down, he pushed it in again so she sat comfortably. He also took a seat across from her and for a little moment, they both just sat there in silence, probably being nervous because something like this was new for both of them. Brahms then remembered what he actually wanted to do and reached for the champagne in the ice bucket. He filled her glass first and then his and he heard Emily clearing her throat and saying a shy ,,Thank you" while she put a strand of hair behind her ear. Her cheeks were a bit flushed and Brahms thought that she looked incredibly cute when she acted that way.
,,I made your favorite dish. I hope it tastes good so please, dig in." He said warmly and smiled at her. Emily didn't wait any longer and picked up her fork and took her first bite. Her eyes closed and she slightly threw her head back and released a small moan at the amazing taste.
,,Soooo, I suppose it tastes good ?" He smirked at her, trying to hold in a chuckle at her cute reaction.
,,Are you kidding ? It's amazing !" She said while having her mouth full of food but she didn't care. The food was exceptionally good and she just had to ask him when he learned how to cook like that. Brahms just smiled at her and changed the topic. They often had something new to talk about and it never got boring. After eating, they put the dirty cutlery in the sink and they went into the living room where they booth sat down on the couch and cuddled. Emily sat in his lap and put her head in the crook of his neck while he had one arm around her body and with the other hand he played with her smooth hair. They just enjoyed the silence and each other's company until Emily noticed a certain black book standing in the book shelter. She slightly lifted her head and was suddenly deep in her thoughts. She had that book in her hands one time when she was cleaning the house. ,,Table manners" was written on the cover and ... wait
...
Now everything made sense. The day she found the book opened on the floor ... Brahms must have read it and he probably forgot to put it back. This dinner, Brahms modern clothes, his professional behavior ...
Was that the reason why he read that book ? When Emily realized that Brahms planned this long ago, she smiled and leaned against him again. Slowly, she closes her eyes and fell asleep in his arms, feeling loved and safe. Brahms noticed it after a while and chuckled slightly, not wanting to wake her up. He carried her up to his room bridal style and pushed the door open with his foot. He gently put her down on the soft mattress and took off her shoes and opened the zipper of her dress. He slowly undressed her until she was laying there just in her underwear. He wanted her to feel comfortable and not having to wear a tight dress while sleeping. He took off his clothes as well but let his boxer shorts on and slipped in the warm, comforting bed and pulled Emily to his side so her head was laying on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her and caressed her cheek softly and put a gentle kiss on her lips.
,,Sleep well my princess. We will always be together and I'll make sure that no one will stand in our way. No one will take you away from me... never."
He closed his eyes and soon, they both slept peacefully beside each other.
