Trapped Underneath a Secret

3- The Beginning of an Amazing Night

          I knocked on the door, my stomach had butterflies, I was breathing so heavy, my heart was pounding. He opened the door up, I almost fainted from how amazing he looked. His beard look kinda long, long enough for him to calm it with his hand, but tamed, and his long hair was in a sexy man bun. Brian knows I love that, which makes me even more assured that it's a date. He gasped and blushed, "Brian... is everything ok? Did I over dress?" He smiled and said, "OH, of course not... you just well, um... look beautiful. Like a model in my eyes!" I wanted to faint, he knows exactly what to say and when to say it! He invited me in the apartment, and we got some wine and laughed for a little bit. I felt so happy and amazed at how much I could be happy. It was around 9 when he finally got up and said that we should get dinner going. It was supposed to be Alfredo with peppers, steak, and some spices. Seeing him finally cook made me fall completely in love with him. The way he talked about all the different types of noodles and how to cook them, made me realize how passionate he is about things.
           "So.... are you just gonna stand there and dream about me or help me" he made a stupid cocky smile and I laughed, "In your dreams, what do you want me to do?" He smiled and said, "Honestly, I have made this recipe for a couple weeks now. I wanted to make this especially for you." He looked me in the eyes with so much passion. I felt so warm and loved. "What do you mean bry?" "Clara, I have felt so happy with you. Ever since I moved here, I thought you were amazing, beautiful, kind, and so sweet. To be honest, I'm glad I got the divorce, because I felt trapped, but with you I feel so relieved and happy. I get so worried that you'll get shot or kidnapped, or something horrible will happen, but I'm so happy you fight for the better cause of justice and for the good." He got so close, I felt my heart pound faster and faster, I was breathing faster and faster. I wanted him so badly to kiss me and make me his, but all he did was take my hand and say, "I'm not gonna kiss you and force you to make a decision, but think about it. Please, every time you come over and we watch movies and talk, I have the urge to kiss you and hold you and make sure your safe. But it's your decision, because you are an incredible independent woman. I want you to take your time to decide if you want to start becoming something and take our friendship to the next level."
             He is such a gentleman, he could've taken advantage of how I felt, but he didn't and that was his special, shy way of saying "I want to be with you, but I won't force things to happen" I loved how he was. I smiled and felt so dreamy and in love. I wanted him to kiss me passionately and make me his. He knew it too, and he looked at me worried and said, "I just don't want to lose you." I held his hand tight and looked in his dreamy ocean blue eyes, "You won't lose me," he smiled and kissed my check. This was the beginning of one of the most special day in my life.
