Chapter 1

Olivia got out of her car. She walked around it and got onto the sidewalk to head towards hers and Brian's apartment. They have been living together for almost 3 months and she loves every minute of it. She was about to enter the building when she got a text from Brian.

'Hey gotta work late tonight but I'll be home by 9. Luv you.' Olivia smiled. This is always the routine. She would always get home before him and he would text her telling her whether or not he would be late. If he was she would wait for him to tell him goodnight and they would go to bed. If not then he would come home for supper and they would eat together and relax.

Olivia replied back with,'Okay I'll make dinner and leave a plate for you. Luv u 2' She continued walking into the building when she ran into someone.

"Oh, I'm sorry." She said as the man kept walking on by. Olivia was confused but she didn't think anything of it, just some one who was in a hurry. She took the elevator up to the apartment and got a surprise when she opened the door. When she opened the door there stood Brian in some nice clothes, a button up t-shirts and some khakis. Olivia was shocked and surprised.

"Oh my god, Brian? What are you doing here and why are you so dressed up?" Olivia said with a shock and a smile on her face.

"Well, if you wanna know we are going out for dinner tonight because I wanted to surprise you." He said as he walked towards her and gave he a chaste kiss. Olivia smiled and said,

"Where are we going?"

"You'll have to find out when we get there but wear something nice."

"Okay."

Olivia went and got ready then came back out 25 minutes later wearing a strapless red dress that stopped just above the knees with silver heels. Her hear was straight and she had red earrings in.

"You ready?" Brian asked as he gave Olivia her coat.

"I am now."

"Then let's go"

They left for dinner and arrived at the restaurant at 7:30 p.m. The restaurant was called Varela's. It was a nice, clean restaurant that wasn't that expensive.

"Oh, Bryan this is beautiful!" Olivia said as Bryan helped her out of the car by holding out his hand to hers. She let him help her out and they walked hand and hand into the restaurant.

"Hi, reservation for two under Cassidy?" Bryan asked as they got up to the book checker.

"Cassidy?.."She said as she scanned the book," Ah, yes right here. If you could just follow me."

Olivia and Brian follow the waitress to their table and Brian slid her chair out for her to sit. Olivia gladly sat down and smiled as Brian went to go sit in his chair.

"Brian how can you afford this place?" Olivia asked as she looked around.

"Buddy of mine owed me a favor." Brian said as he smiled at her.

"Hi, my names Jessica and I'll be your waiter for tonight. Do you guys want more time to decide or have you already decided?" The waitress said as she came over with a pad and pen.

"Uh, I'll have the spaghetti with meat sauce please." Olivia said

"And I'll have the Chicken parmesan with a side of potatoes." Brian said as he handed the menu's to Jessica and she walked away to place their order.

"So? How was you day?" Brian asked casually. Olivia laughed at the comment.

"The same. Not much different than any other. What about you?"

"Same old, same old." Brian said nonchalantly.

"Are you sure? It seems like somethings different." Olivia said.

"Yeah I'm sure, how about we ta-" Brian did not get a chance to finish because a fire of bullets flew through the window and into the restaurant.
