Unexpected Love
Chapter 3
Susan was in the lounge when Abby entered, "Hey," said Abby as she sat down next to Susan. "So tonight is your big date?"
"Yeah," replied Susan as she got up and went to her locker. "I just hope I don't mess it up, and do something stupid." laughed Susan as she put her jacket on." I'm going over to Doc Magoos, do you want to come?"
"No, I'll stay here," replied Abby. Susan was just on her way out of the lounge when she turned around. "If everything works out, you and Carter should come on a double date with me and Brent."
"I'm not sure if John would want to do that" "What wouldn't I want to do?' asked Carter as he walked into the lounge.
"Susan thinks we should go on a double date with her and her new boyfriend," said Abby as she went to Carter." Yeah, that would be fun" he said.
"Don't get ahead of yourself, I don't even know if I want to have a second date with him," said Susan as she left the lounge. But Susan knew that she wanted many dates with Brent.
Later that day,
Susan walked into her apartment, and went into the kitchen, and got herself a
cup of coffee. She sat down on the couch.
She couldn't believe how nervous she was about her date with Brent; it
had been such a long time since she felt like this. She looked at her clock,
and saw that she only had one hour before Brent would come and pick her up, so
she went to have a shower.

Brent was walking to Susan's apartment when his cell phone rang. "Hello"
"Brent, where are you?" asked the person on the other line irritably.
"I told you to stop calling me," said Brent crossly as he hung up the phone. Why does she keep on phoning me, doesn't she realize that we are over, thought Brent to himself as he rang Susan's doorbell." I'm going to get on with my life"
Susan opened the door, and smiled. "Hello," Brent couldn't believe how pretty Susan was. "You look gorgeous,"
"Thanks," smiled Susan as she grabbed her keys, and left the apartment.
"So where are we going?" asked Susan as soon as they got outside.
"That you will have to find out later,"
"Can't you tell me now," replied Susan as she casually grabbed Brent's hand.
"Soon, "said Brent as they got into his car.
They showed up at the restaurant, which turned out to be Mexican.
"Let's go in," said Brent. The hostess came up to them. "How many?"
"Two," replied Brent. "Follow me," she said. Susan and Brent followed her to their table.
"Here's your seat," said Brent as he pulled the seat out for Susan.
"Oh, thank you! What a gentleman," Susan replied as she sat down. Everything was silent for a moment, so Susan decided to start the conversation. "So, tell me a bit about your life?" Brent looked at Susan, he knew she was going to ask a question like this, but he didn't think right away.
"I have 1 brother and a sister," said Brent, being pretty vague. "What about you?"
"Well, you already know that I lived here and then I moved to Phoenix to be with my sister and my niece." Susan's eyes brighten when she thought about Susie, who she missed a lot.
"You must really care about your niece,"
"I do," replied Susan," She means the world to me. Maybe one day you will meet her,"
"Yeah, that would be great,"
"So, why did you move back to Chicago?" Brent looked at Susan with this nervous look on his face. "I'm sorry if I'm being too private," said Susan as she took a sip of her water.
"Of course not," smiled Brent. " I moved to Boston because there were some family problems that I had to deal with it, but then my family didn't need me as much, so I moved back here to Chicago,"
"Are you really to order?" asked the waitress. "Yes, "they said. The waitress wrote down their order on her pad, and then left the table.

Later that night,
Susan and Brent had finished their dinner, and were on their way to his car. "I had a great time, I would really love to do this again," said Brent as he leaned over and kissed Susan. "I would love to go out again," said Susan as she kissed Brent again. Brent and Susan then got into the car, and drove away from the restaurant.
They showed up at Susan's apartment. "Well, thanks for a great night," said Brent as he hugged Susan. "Do you want to come up for a coffee?" asked Susan softly.
"Okay," he said as he put his arms around Susan, as they went up to her apartment.
"Sorry about the mess," said Susan as she walked into her apartment." I never seem to get enough time to clean up,"
"Its fine," said Brent.
"So, how do you like your coffee?" asked Susan as she walked into the kitchen. "Black," said Brent from the living room. Susan then walked into the living room with their coffee.
"Here," said Susan as she gave him his coffee.
"Thanks," said Brent as he sat down on the couch and Susan then sat down next to him. "Do you want to watch a movie or something?"
"Sure," he said.

About an hour later,
"I have to go now, as I have an early shift. Brent then looked to his side, and saw that Susan was fast asleep. So he quietly got off the couch, and turned off the TV.
"Bye Susan," he whispered as he was leaving her apartment.
He looked at her, as he shut the door. "We are going to be together, no matter what
it takes," he said aloud to himself.
Nobody or nothing is going to change
that, "thought Brent as he got into his car.
