CHAPTER 5
After lunch I dropped Henry off at school and went back to the station. To my surprise David was there but Killian wasn't. "Hi David; how was your day?" I asked as I sat down behind my desk. He looked worry and amused at the same time. "My day was good; I just don't know about Ho… I mean Killian." David quickly corrected himself. I looked at the papers I finished before lunch and checked if I did it right. "Why? What happened." I asked trying to sound nonchalant. What if he can't make it tonight? Is he okay? David looked at me and grinned. "He is fine; he just has a big nasty shiner on his left eye. The guy who broke in at the library was still there and Killian tried to stop him but the guy surprised Killian and punched him on the eye. It was really funny…" I shook my head as David laughed. "As long as he is okay then I'm happy." I said and focused on the papers again.
The rest of the afternoon went by without much excitement and by four David told me I could leave. "Have fun on your date tonight. Killian told me." David said as I walked out the station. I think I broke some speed law as I drove to the B&B but I didn't care. I have one hour to get ready and I want to look perfect. After a nice but short shower I stood in front of my closet deciding what to wear. "Not date worthy; not Killian worthy; yet." I said as I threw a short red dress on my bed. "Where did I even get this?" I held up awful blue dress and threw it on the floor. "This is perfect; just perfect; not to sexy but not to casual." I hugged the shin length light pink dress to my chest. Killian won't know what hit him. I braided my long blond hair and tied it up. I didn't want to over do my make up and look like a bimbo so I kept my make up natural. As I put my on my nude stilettos there was a knock on the door. With a deep breath I opened the door. Killian looked amazing even with the big black eye. He was dressed like this morning only with a dark blue shirt instead of black. "Wow you look stunning Swan." Killian stepped inside my room and kissed my cheek. "Thanks Killian. Sorry about your eye." I said. He shrugged and handed me a rose. "Wow two roses in one day." Killian laughed and took my hand with his good one. "Shall we go love?" He asked. I nodded and followed him after I locked my door. The conversation between us was light as we walked to where ever Killian wanted us to go.
"Here we go love." Killian said as he held open the door to a nice looking restaurant. We were greeted by a friendly looking waiter that led us to a nice table in the corner; away from the others. Killian pulled out my chair and waited for me to sit before he sat down. "May I order us a drink love?" He asked. I nodded as I looked at the menu. "A scotch for me and a glass of red wine for my lovely lady; please mate." Killian said to the waiter whom walked away with a smile and a nod. When he said I was his lady I blushed slightly and hoped that he didn't see it. If he did; he didn't show it. "So love how was your day." He asked after the waiter brought our drinks and took our orders. "Boring up until lunch; I spent some time with my son." I said. Killian didn't even react when I mentioned I had a son. "I wish I could have joined you; maybe I wouldn't have this monstrosity on my face." He said in a light ashamed tone. I reached over the table and took his hand in mine. "If it helps I still think you look handsome. You don't mind me having a son?" I asked after a slight pause. Killian locked eyes with me and turned serious for a minute. "Why would I mind? If the lad is anything like you; I already like him." He smiled and squeezed my hand lightly. When our food came the conversation went back to lighter topics and jokes. Killian told me about his fascination with pirates; which I found really funny but normal in a weird way. I told him about my old job and my live in New York. "That Josh guy is a real idiot to let someone like you go. If things go right for us; I'm never letting you go. And I do hope things go right." Killian's words made me blush and I realized how much I want this to work to. "I'm willing to fight for it if you are." I said as we walked back to the B&B. Killian was quite until we stopped in front of my door. "Any man who is willing to fight for what he wants deserves what he gets. And I really want to be apart of your life; if you'll have me." Killian took my hand and placed in on his chest. "I know you don't know me very well but it feels as if I have known you forever. I want you to be mine." I knew exactly how Killian felt because I felt the same. I took a step forward and kissed him. He responded instantly and wrapped his arms around me. The kiss was sweet but powerful; gentle but needed. In that moment Killian was my lifeline and I needed him to breath. But all good things have to come to an end. Killian pulled back but never let me go. "Thank you love; for tonight; I had a wonderful time. I will see you tomorrow." He let go of me and kissed my hand before he walked away.
