He brought her to the restaurant nearby. It was an Indian Restaurant. They ordered some naan, tandoori chicken, dhal and kulfi for dessert. They ordered some fresh lime juice for drinks. They finished their food quickly and Brandon took Melody for a ride. Melody requested to wind down the window to enjoy the air and Brandon fulfilled her request.
They reached the park ten minutes later and sat down on the bench facing the lake.
"Melody have you decided to go for the party or do you want to decline?"
" I actually don't have a choice Brandon... My mother's things are very important to me. I have to go."
" Okay since you have decided to go... Can I come with you? You can bring a partner right?"
"Hmmm... are you sure you want to come Brandon?"
"Yes , very sure... I am coming to protect you and to give you moral support."
" Hahaha thank you very much Brandon. I appreciate it and I would love to have you come as my partner."
"Great then what do you plan on wearing?"
"I have not decided yet... I am not like most girls... I don't quite like to shop... So I have not figured it out yet."
"I see... okay... There is still time left to shop for a dress. Tomorrow you are following me to shop for a dress and I will not take NO for an answer. Am I clear?"
"Wh... what!? How can you say that you can't take no for an answer? I do not want you to be troubled over these matters... after all don't men hate shopping?"
"Well if it was someone else definitely a no but since it's you... I don't mind. I said no for an answer because I want you to also feel loved and that you have someone there for you when you do these things. It is my way of showing my love towards you... by giving you my time and attention."
"Brandon you... you are going to make me cry if you keep this up... I am also scared that this might not last long.. I learned the hard way that happiness doesn't last long... I am worried I will become very fond of you and if you leave what am I supposed to do? I already broke my heart once and I don't know if I can go through it again for now..."
" I will never leave you... You don't know how eager I am to be given this chance Melody. I want you to become fond of me so that you can never look at another guy and feel the same way... The thought of you going out with someone else or being with someone else shatters my heart now..."
Melody did not know what else to say except burry her head in her hands and silently cry... She was very touched and she could not believe there is someone who would care for her this much... Brandon knew what she was thinking and pulled her into his embrace and let her cry it out.
"There, there... I know you are touched but don't cry every single time when you feel touched because of my actions. I feel guilty for making you cry. I want to see you happy and give you all the happiness I can."
"I am not usually the cry baby type but I can't help it with you. Thank you."
She eventually calmed down after a few minutes.
Brandon sent her back after half an hour. The date ended well. Melody was looking forward for tomorrow.
Seeing Melody skip up the lobby happily Brandon made a call to his close friend Adam and his expression turned cold as he told his friend to gather information on Molly and Mr Tony.
