*Anthony's POV*
I re-position my tie in the mirror gesturing myself from top to bottom. God I hope this night goes well, Ian really deserves it. I fix my hair a couple of times and walk out the bathroom. I met Ian in the hallway.
"Looking good baby." Ian says, coming towards me. I plant a kiss on his forehead. "You do too."
We walk together hand in hand towards the front door. I open the door letting Ian go first. He smiles and walks out. I reach into my pocket for the keys to the car. Ian starts walking to the passenger side but I beat him to it before he even opens the handle. I open the door for him.
"Awwe." He blushes. "Your so sweet."He gets in and I close the door behind him, going to the driver's side.
I close the car door. "I try to be." I put the key in the ignition. "Ready?" I glace at Ian beside me, smiling. "Yeah. I'm just curious of what you have in store for me." I smirk. "Don't you worry, I'm going to take good care of you." I back up from the driveway, driving towards the restaurant.
-X-
I see a near-by parking but its handicapped. "Fuck." I sighed struggling to find another closer one.
"Baby, there's a one right here." Ian points near the window glass. "Thank god." I whispered to my self.
I quickly park, getting out of the car. I close my door, running once again to Ian's side. Ian gets out. "Anthony, you don't have to keep opening to door for me. I have two hands." He waves them in front of my face.
"I know…I just want this to be perfect." He giggles and grabs my hand, intertwining them together. "You're worrying to much. Just…calm down." "Okay." I flash my best smile at Ian, walking towards the were walking, I see a familiar car. But I just can't figure it out. I guess Ian saw me looking because he tries to look at the same direction.
"What's wrong? Who are you looking for?" I stutter. "O-oh nothing. I just…thought…I saw something."
We finally get to the building, opening the door for the both of us. I wait in line for our turn.
"Hello gentlemen! Welcome!" "Hi, my name is Anthony Padilla. I made a reservation for 2?" See looks through her clipboard. "Ah! Here we are. Mr. Padilla, table for 2 follow me!"
I sigh of relief, following the lady. She stands by our table, laying 2 menus and silverware wrapped in napkins.
"I hope you two gentlemen enjoy your night!"
We say our thank yous and she walks off. I walk over to pull out Ian's chair. Ian gives me a look. "I'm sorry, I can't help it." I confessed. "You're so lucky I love you." I chuckle while Ian sits down. I walk over to my seat and sat down looking at the menu.
I have a feeling that something is going to wrong but I just can't make it out.
"Anthony are you okay? You keep looking around." "I'm fine sweetheart. Tonight, It's all about you." I take Ian's hand and kissed it. "I promise." Ian smiles once again. "Have I ever told you how sexy look when you smile?" "Thank you."
He says shyly looking into my eyes. I stare back into his. I bit my bottom lip as I began to pulling him into a kiss when I see someone coming my way. I pull back worried.
"So what will you two be ordering tonight?" The waiter asked us. Whew! I thought that was…someone else. But damn, I was so focused on Ian that I didn't even get the chance to know what I wanted.
"Um…I'll have…" I pause as I quickly pick up the menu. I browse through it and see what looks good. "The Petite Sirloin with mashed potatoes and broccoli on the side." She writes it on her small note pad.
"And for you sir?" She stares at Ian, waiting for an answer.
"I'll have the…Asian Sesame Glazed Baby-Back Ribs." I somehow knew Ian would order Baby Back Ribs, those are one of his favorite foods. The waitress continues to write. "What will you have for to drink?" "Pepsi." I say quickly. "I'll have the same." Ian agrees. "Alright, I will be right back with your orders within 15 minutes." She says happily and walks off.
"That was close." I whisper to Ian. "Yeah.." We continue to talk for a few minutes, when someone heads are way again, but it wasn't our waitress. It was…
"Anthony!" As a man in a black suit comes over and greets me. He chuckles.
"I didn't know you would be here." He grabs my shoulder hard, giving me a look. I give a fake laugh. "I didn't…either."
Ian looks at me in confusion. "Anthony who is this man and how does he know you?" Ian asked. Before I could speak up, the man in the suit spoken for me.
"Hi, I'm Anthony's boss. Richard." He held out his hand to Ian. Ian slowly shakes it and looks at me again. "Boss? I didn't know Anthony had a second job." He says cheerfully.
"How come you never told me? Where do you work at?" I look nervously at Richard that is shaking my boyfriend's hand.
Oh shit, I know he isn't about to-
"Anthony works for me. He works as a Drug Dealer. He said he wanted to some 'extra cash' to help out you too."
Ian cheerful look slowly drops and stares dreadfully at me. "What?" He asked Richard unsurely if he heard right. "Ian..I can explain."
Ian gets up from the table furious, yelling." "YOU WORK FOR A DRUG DEALER!?" "Ian listen! I can expl-" Ian smacks my face. Hard from across the table. I hold my red throbbing cheek, staring back at Ian in anger.
"So that's why you leave me every day? To sell DRUGS? To get money?" He shakes his head in disbelief, turning around, walking out from the restaurant.
I go after him, but Richard stops me. "You see, I told you this would happen if you didn't pay up." I shove Richard angrily out way following Ian screaming his name, begging him to stop.
"Ian! Ian please stop!" Ian finally stops and turns around at me, tears falling from his eyes. "Why didn't you tell me?" He says weakly.
"Ian. Look I'm sorry… I just..needed some money." "For WHAT?" He continues to shout. "For US! ALRIGHT?" I honestly spoke.
"I wanted to buy us better equipment for our videos and..have the things that we couldn't afford."
Ian sadly grunts. "See! This is what you're not getting Anthony! We don't need money to make our vidoes better, or fill our needs." He pauses. "We have each other for that. Money doesn't buy happiness…" he finishes off, turning his back against me, sobbing.
Richard comes out from the restaurant and faces me. "SO Anthony.." I stare back at him with anger filled in my eyes once more.
"About the money-"
I cut him off. "Forget about the money I owe, I'm done working for you." He scoffs and gets closer to my face. "You can't quit working for me, I own you."
I became more furious, about to swing at him, two of the crew members grab me from behind holding my arms behind my back. Ian turned around and gasped at the sight, trying running to me but the taller man stopped him in his path, holding his arm right in front of him.
"Stop right there." Ian glares at the man with angst.
"Padilla, let's make a deal." He says casually.
"NO! Whatever it is, NO!" I shouted.
"Just…hear me out, alright?" Me and Ian remained quiet.
"Okay.." He started off.
"How about this…if you don't give me the money you owe me…" he paused and looked at Ian with a devilish look. "I'll take Ian."
"NO!" We both said in unison.
*AHHH! Don't you just LOVE cliffhangers? Haha! But trust me, there's more to come soon! :D*
