Chapter 20: Dinner With A Song
In a fancy restaurant in the city, Mufasa and Nessa were eating their dinner as they were having the time of their lives
"Mufasa this is so amazing! The dinner is great, the service was wonderful and this whole place is beautiful" Nessa happily said
"I'm glad you're enjoying it" Mufasa chuckled.
As the two felines continue eating their dinner, the older lion looks at Nessa as he can't help looking at her beauty and loving her kindness and happiness. She was truly an amazing lioness to him and every day he slowly falls in love with the young adult.
Nessa looks at Mufasa staring at her warmly as she giggled
"Is something wrong Mufasa?"
"No my dear, everything is fine" Mufasa replied.
Nessa giggled again as she finishes her dinner and soon Mufasa finished his as the waiter took the plates away. The older lion looks at the wine bottle and offers Nessa some but the young lioness shook her head and said
"Thanks but no thank you, I don't drink alcohol"
"Fair enough" Mufasa nodded.
Soon the older lion thought to himself
"Should I tell her how I feel or wait a little longer?"
Suddenly the band in the restaurant begins to play a smooth and gentle song as Mufasa got up from his chair and offers Nessa his paw.
"May I have this dance my lady?" Mufasa purred.
Nessa blushes a bit as she smiles and replies
"OK"
She took his paw and the two felines went to the dance floor with some other couples as they begin to hold each other and slowly dance together.
Nessa was in bliss of everything that is happening to her, her life is so much better now for the first time in a very long time...all because of the one man who cares for her, the only lion who raise her to the light. Mufasa was everything she wishes for in a best friend but little did she know, Mufasa was about to confess his feelings for her.
"Mufasa" Nessa started.
"Yes my dear" Mufasa asked.
"I want to say thank you...for everything" Nessa explained.
"No worries Nessa" Mufasa replied.
"No I mean it, I really must thank you for all you've done for me. If it wasn't for you then I would be all alone in the cold or worse, dead" Nessa added.
Mufasa strokes her head and holds her close.
"I want to thank you as well Nessa" Mufasa said.
"What do you mean?" Nessa asked.
"You made our family strong once more, my son is happy and I am happy too. You made everything better for us" Mufasa replied.
"There's no need to thank me, I was doing what you want me to do and you gave me food and shelter, that's all I ever wanted Mufasa" Nessa said.
Mufasa smiles at the young lioness and makes her look at him as he said
"Nessa, I want to confess something for you"
"Really? What is it?" Nessa asked.
"Wait here" said Mufasa.
He then goes to the owner of the place and gives him money as he whispers what he plans to do. The owner nods in approve and goes to the stage with Mufasa as the singer on stage goes off and the older lion speaks on the microphone
"Nessa, this is how I feel for you"
The band starts playing the song as Mufasa sings
Look into my eyes, you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart, search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no moreDon't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do, I do it for youLook into your heart, you will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am, take my life
I would give it all, I would sacrifice
Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it, there's nothin' I want more
You know it's true
Everything I do, I do it for you
Oh yeah
There's no love, like your love
And no other, could give more love
There's nowhere, unless you're there
All the time, all the way, yeah
Nessa was shocked as she felt her heart beating fast as she was surprised at the fact that Mufasa is in love with her. She felt so happy and finds Mufasa singing to her to be so romantic.
She starts to head up to the stage as Mufasa continues singing
Look into your heart, baby
Oh, you can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
I can't help it, there's nothin' I want more
Yeah, I would fight for you, I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you, yeah I'd die for you
You know it's true
Everything I do, oh, I do it for you
The audience cheers as Nessa runs to Mufasa and embraces him happily as she looks him into the eyes and asked
"You really mean that? You truly love me?"
"Yes Nessa, I love you so much" Mufasa purred.
"Mufasa, you truly are a wonderful and handsome lion I've ever met! You treat me like someone special and you never gave up on me and you were always there for me from the beginning. Mufasa, I love you too" Nessa tearfully yet happily replied.
Mufasa holds her close as the two felines slowly went in for a kiss as the audience started to clap and cheer for them.
Nessa and Mufasa were finally together at last and they are happy with each other as tonight was a night they'll never forget.
Nessa and Mufasa are finally together as a couple!
Hooray! :D
What happens next?
Stay tune to find out!
