If I fall - S01 E31

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 31

I had gotten used to hating Valentine's Day with a passion, and maybe that was because I had been single for the past three years, but driving up to Drew's I no longer despised the thought. I had planned to bring her eat tonight, but I wasn't planning to tell her where, simply because I wanted to see the look on her face whenever we got there.

Climbing out the cab I told the driver I wouldn't be long, and he was willing to wait a few minutes considering he left the meter running.

I ran up to Drew's door, knocking eagerly and not even having to wait ten seconds for her to answer. She opened the door swiftly, her immaculate blonde waves flowing over her shoulders that were covered with her leather jacket. Those silver eyes locking with mine and taking the words I had wanted to say right out of my mouth.

She broke the silence, "You look beautiful."

I frowned, "I was supposed to say that to you."

I felt her hand slip into mine, "Well, I beat you to it."

A huge grin spread willingly across my face as I pulled her towards the cab and ordered the driver off. I was excited to surprise her on my choice of destination, wondering silently if she had ever been to this place before.

"So where are we going?"

"It's a surprise," I teased.

Her hand just squeezed mine in excitement before she changed the subject, "So, I think I'm gonna finish the rest of my fights this month."

I sucked in a tight breath, remembering that she had fought two weeks ago and won. I had been a nervous wreck waiting for her at home but she had made it back with no damage done. The fight had gone over fairly well.

"When's the next one?"

"This Saturday," she answered as I felt the familiar aching of worry deep in my stomach.

I tensed, wishing I could just get used to the feeling already but it didn't look likely. I hated it, and I hated how dangerous it was and how she was so close to freedom that we could both practically taste it. The only thing that killed me was the fact that something could go wrong and she could lose, resulting in her ultimately starting over.

"It's gonna be fine, I promise," she reassured, but it didn't hide the worry in my eyes.

I decided to smile it off and rest my head on her shoulder, waiting impatiently for the taxi to come to a stop outside the restaurant. It didn't take long as we pulled up to the front, and I could see Drew's eyes gaze up at the building.

I paid the driver and climbed out, grabbing Drew's hand and smiling, "Remember, it's my treat tonight."

She just looked at me, and I could tell she wanted to protest but wouldn't. This had been my idea of a date, and I was determined to take the reins tonight, regardless of what Drew thought.

Walking up to the front of the building and right through the lobby I spotted the host podium. Drew radiated excitement and it reflected onto me as I proposed, "Reservation for Breanna."

The young man smiled and nodded, "I'll take you to your table."

Stepping into the elevator I could tell Drew was surprised, which I enjoyed because I had always wanted to come to this place but never had anyone to take. Now that we were here I couldn't be more excited to see her reaction when we got to our table.

We were brought up ten floors and then exited, trailing behind the host to our table. Drew leaned over and whispered, "How did you get this to happen?"
