Smile Again
-Flashback-
Stella's P.O.V
Ring… Ring…
The alarm started barking as usual. I got out of bed intending to get ready for school. I was brushing my long, blonde hair when suddenly something got to my head. I realized something…
''Oh no!'', I murmured. It's a Saturday. What a fool I am. I was heading back to bed to get some sleep as it was only 8 AM in the morning when I thought:
''When I have already woken up, why not do something useful"?
I always wanted to go to a restaurant that opened recently near my home. I heard very good reviews about that restaurant.
I started to dress up. I wore a simple dress. Just a white crop top and a pair of skinny jeans. I did some light makeup, only the pink lip-gloss and eyeliner. I set my hair to a messy bun before sprinting out of the door.
Within a while, I reached the restaurant. It was decorated very nicely. I didn't even realize my mouth dropped open. Shaking my head to get rid of my thoughts, I got inside the restaurant only to notice a few customers… but who cares?! I don't mind. In fact I am happy! I am getting the best service here. I just ordered for a coffee and a dessert.
I settled myself to a seat near the window. I must admit this place was beautiful and I couldn't help but wonder why there was so few customers? I was broken out of my reverie when I caught sight of a person entering the restaurant.
He had messy, brown hair. Such captivating chocolate orbs. A tan, muscular body. He was wearing casual clothes. He was so hot. I quickly turned around so that he didn't catch me staring at him.
Brandon's P.O.V
I noticed a lady. A very attractive lady sitting near the window. She had those mesmerizing honey eyes. Long, blonde hair and fair skin color. Everything about her was nice. She wore a crop top, which made her look damn hot. I was already thinking about her. Anyways, I settled myself on the seat next to her table and that was the time I caught sight of a waiter staring dirtily at her. I didn't know the lady but my body was shaking with rage. I was never ever so much angry before. All I wanted to do was to make him blind so that he could NEVER EVER stare at ladies like THAT! But I controlled my rage. I saw that she was uncomfortable in his dirty gaze.
'Excuse me!' I waved my hands fiercely in front of the waiter.
'What?' he asked confused.
'Why don't you take my order?' I demanded.
'What's your order?' he asked, a bit angry and annoyed.
That's when I made my order for a milkshake.
Stella's P.O.V
I could feel that pervert was staring at me. I felt so awkward. I would've walked out of the restaurant if I didn't order. So, I had no choice but to wait for my order.
Then suddenly someone spoke up. To my surprise it was that handsome, dashing guy.
'Excuse me!' he said, waving his hands.
'What?' that pervert snapped at him.
'Why don't you take my order?' he asked, sounding a bit angry.
'What's your order?' that pervert asked trying to sound polite but failed miserably. He then ordered a milkshake.
I was so relieved that he was gone at least for a while. I was about to thank that person when out of the blue the waiter came back with the milkshake but what he did next was absolutely UNBELIEVABLE!
He, yes HE poured the milkshake on ME. It was intentional. Anybody would understand. I looked up at him with surprise. He pretended an apology face. Now that was the LAST STRAW. I had ENOUGH!
'WHAT THE FUCK?! ARE YOU IN YOUR RIGHT MIND?! YOU BLOODY PERVERT! Where's your…' I was cut off mid-sentence when someone punched him right through the face.
I turned around only to see that handsome man. He looked so damn hot right now. Even before I realized, he handed me his coat as in to cover myself. I gently took it. He aimed another punch at him before I stopped him and said:
'This is useless. Don't do it please. This will only get you in trouble and I don't want that to happen! This pervert is worthless. You shouldn't waste neither your time nor your energy.' I was calmed to see he knowingly pulled back. He threw him one last deathly glare before facing me.
'Let's get out of here shall we?' he asked politely. I nodded. He then took my hands and we made our way out of the restaurant.
'Thank you for defending me back there Mr.…"I stopped as I didn't know his name. He chuckled lightly. I couldn't help but think about his heart-melting chuckle.
'Mr. Brandon Woods,' he replied. 'And you're welcome. That was my duty as a man. What's your name Miss? He asked.
What a gentleman I thought. 'Oh! Sorry, I am Stella Solaria.'
'Do you want to go out somewhere?'
'Sure'! I replied sounding a bit perky.
He chuckled at my childishness.
I of course got changed to a nice dress from a near shop.
We went to so many places and were so lost in our conversation that we didn't even realize what time it was!
It was 9 PM in the night.
'Oh my!' I muttered. 'It's so late.'
'Don't worry, I will walk you home. He then walked me home. It was a silent walk all through till I spoke up:
'This is my home. Thank you Brandon.' I blurted out.
'No problem Stella. Do you think I can have your number?' he asked nervously.
Without a second thought I gave him my number and a soft kiss on his cheek before rushing towards my bedroom.
'Yes, yes, YESSSSS!' I shouted

10 years later
Stella's P.O.V
I still remember how happy I was that day when we first met. I finally found the saying, ''OLD IS GOLD'' true. Now we have a happy family of 2 children. I can't even imagine my life without Brandon. I am so lucky to have a husband like him.
We had a boy and a girl. The eldest one was the boy who was 7 years old. His name was Steldon… and the girl was just a year old and we named her Brella. Steldon looked just like his father. He had brown hair, a shade lighter than Brandon's but he had my honey eyes and my skin color. As for Brella, she had blonde hair just like me but Brandon's eyes and skin color.
Brandon's P.O.V
I don't know what I would've done without Stella. She is what every man can dream of. I am so lucky to have met her and have her. She's my sunshine. She's the reason why I wake up every day and she's the one who shines up my life. I hope we just stay happy like this…
