MICHAEL'S P. O. V
When Brianna told me that we should be doing what couples do, I got a bit tensed. It's been years since I have been in a relationship. I didn't know what to do. I called Daniel to my office.
"Hello boss please what can I do for you" he asked
"Daniel I need your advice" I said
He took a seat
"Sir what is it" he said
"Dan I am talking to you as a friend not your boss" I said
"Alright Mike what is it tell me" he said
"I want to know what couples do in relationships in these modern years" I asked
He smiled
"I can't believe this bro. You are really in love" he said
I blushed
"Mike you can go on dates, shopping, buy her gifts, go on vacations and many more but I have seen Miss Bennett and I know she likes simple things so you can take her out for a start and use that to learn her likes and dislikes" he said
"Thanks bro" I said happily
"Mike please don't forget to turn off your bedroom camera in case you bring her home. I don't want to see her scary face the moment she realises how huge you are down there" he said
"You fool. There you go again with your nonsense. Why did you install a camera in my bedroom anyway" I asked
I was embarrassed. I didn't even think of it. I know I am huge but this idiot always makes me feel awkward.
"I don't trust your son he is capable of doing anything" he said
He left without listening to me.
Thanks to Daniel I got an idea. I called one of my female workers and made some arrangements with her.
For the entire week, I couldn't keep my excitement. It felt good seeing Brianna everyday even though we tried keeping it cool.
On Friday I got a confirmation that Mrs Bennett has officially been made a manager of my Mall. I chose this for her because I didn't want her to work hard.
I ordered the gifts be sent on Saturday afternoon. I called Brianna and made some arrangements with her.
I contemplated on what to wear for a while but Daniel helped even though he took something in exchange for it. I got ready and came down stairs.
I was shock to see my children in the first living room.
"Wow Dad you look amazing" Kathy said
"Thanks Princess" I said
"Oh my goodness Dad are you blushing" Ariana said
I didn't even realise that I was blushing.
"Dad where are you going" Andrew asked
"It's none of your business Andy" I said
I left them after saying goodbye to them
Since I wanted to drive myself, I chose the latest Ferrari car I bought just last week.
I arrived at Brianna's house shortly and after chatting with her mum, we left
BRIANNA'S P. O. V
"Wow daddy you car is amazing" I said
He smiled and said nothing. He opened the door for me. I sat in with his help. He got in and started the engine.
"Daddy where are we going" I asked
"Relax baby you will know soon" he said with a smile
He winked at me and I frowned a bit. He took my hand and kissed me on the back of my hand.
We arrived at a restaurant. You could guess that it is very expensive even looking at the entrance. He helped me out of the car. We walked hand in hand and entered.
One waitor rushed to us
"Welcome Mr Craine welcome ma'am" she said
Mr Craine just nodded his head slightly
"It's our table ready" Mr Craine asked
"Yes sir. Please come with me" the waitor said
We followed him and entered the main part of the restaurant. I realised that people were staring at us. I saw some whispering. It was obvious that Mr Craine didn't care so I ignored them too. Mr Craine pulled out a chair for me to sit. I did.
He sat next to me.
"Please what would you like something to drink" the waitor asked
"A bottle of wine with low alcohol content" Mr Craine said
"Please this the menu (we took it from him) please I will be back" the waitor said and left
"Daddy this place is beautiful" I said
"Do you look like it" he asked
"Yes daddy" I replied quickly
He chuckled and kissed my hand
He used his thumb to caress a spot on my hand and I felt butterflies in my stomach
"Daddy did someone help you choose this place" I asked because I was curious
He smiles
"How did you know" he asked
"I was just guessing" I said
We both laughed
The waitor brought our wine. We ordered our food and the waitor left.
"Daddy thank you for everything you did for my mum" I said
"Well what can I do? This just a small gesture from me to her for allowing me be in a relationship with her sexy beautiful daughter" he said
"Awwww I love you Daddy" I said
"I love you so much baby. It's hard for me. It's been a while since I felt like this. Thank you baby girl for being in my life" he said
I got up from my seat and walked up to him. I kissed him on the lips and he responded. I felt happy he didn't push me away because we are in public. I hugged him and he kissed my hand. I returned to my seat
"Daddy I have never been in a relationship like this before. In my previous relationships, it was always about going to the club and returning to have sex. Thank you for everything. Thank you for your love, your support and this relationship" I said
"Hey baby don't cry" he said
I didn't even realise that I was teary eyes
"Thank you for loving a girl like me" I said
"Thank you for loving an old man like me" he said
We both burst into laughter
I couldn't take my eyes off him because he was so perfect.
Soon our food was brought and we started eating. Mr Craine helped me because I am not used to eating in a luxurious style. I was enjoying the food and at the same time we couldn't stop staring at each other
"Michael"
We heard a male voice and we both turned to the direction we heard the voice
"Michael, what's up bro" a man said
"Hello Henry. How are you" Mr Craine said
"I'm good bro" he replied
He turned to me
"Michael who is she? Is she your daughter" he asked
Mr Craine turned to look at me and smiled
"Henry please meet my girlfriend Brianna. Baby girl meet Henry a business rival and an acquaintance" he said
"Hello sir nice to meet you" I said
Henry didn't respond. He acted like he didn't hear me
"Wow Andrew was right. You have really lost your mind" Henry said
"Let me guess. My son told you that I am dating my secretary? Right" Mr Craine said
"Yeah your son did. Michael this girl is old enough to be your daughter. She might even be younger than your daughter come on bro. How can you be dating a girl like that. She doesn't love you, she is just after your money" Henry said
"Henry I didn't know you had this mentality is in your mind" Mr Craine said
"Michael what do you mean" Henry asked
"Henry your wife is older than you, she is richer than you. Does that mean you are also after her money" Mr Craine said
"Michael don't disrespect me and my marriage" Henry said
"Henry don't disrespect my woman in front of me and don't get involve in my life. Don't forget who you are talking to" Mr Craine said
Henry left without saying anything again
I bowed my head because I couldn't believe Mr Craine defended me like that.
"Baby girl" he called
I slowly raised my head
"Baby girl I am so sorry" he said
"Daddy don't be I knew things like these will happen the moment I accepted to be with you. I don't know if I am prepared for it but I don't want to be away from you either so let's forget it" I said
He kissed my forehead
"Fool he ruined the evening" Mr Craine said
"No he didn't. The night is still young you can invite me at your place" I said shyly
He chuckled
"That is really tempting what if I don't allow you to go home" he said
I giggled
"Well if you don't allow me to go home, it means I will be in your arms the entire night" I said
I bowed my head because I didn't want him to see my reddish face.
"Hey sweetheart I am the one supposed to be blushing not you" he said.
I covered my face with my hands
"We left the restaurant after a while.
I realised Mr Craine was driving to the direction of my house
"Daddy I thought we were going to your place" I said
"Baby girl we will definitely go to my place but tonight please let me take you home. There is a cockroach in my house I need to take care of" he said
"Cockroach" I asked
"Hmmm" he replied
"How can a cockroach be your house. This means the cleaners are not doing a good job. I will have to start taking care of you on my own" I said
Mr Craine burst into laughter
"Baby girl you always make my day with your nonsense" he said
I hit him on the arm
"Bri what I said was a figure of speech" he said
"ooooooh. Alright" I said
We arrived at my house soon. We kissed each other for a while. I got out of the car and he drove away.
