Love don't die

Love don't die by nadiaa featuring a crate and barrel dinnerware

“You know you’d look good in sweats Milena!” I heard Ames yell from the other room.

I laughed, putting some lipstick on, “It’s our first official date! I want to look good.” I said, walking out. His eyes widened as he spotted me.

“Wow…”

“Good?” I asked with a grin.

“Better than good… Great.” He said standing up.

“Thank you.” I kissed him gently on the lips, “And thank you for waiting for me to finish getting ready.”

“Like I said before; you’re worth the wait.” He said with a smile, “And if you want, we can skip dinner and spent the night in your room.” He winked.

“Nice try handsome, but I look good and I want to show myself and my amazing boyfriend off.” I winked back at him.

“Fine, let’s go.” He grumbled with a smile.

He wrapped his arm around my waist as we walked to his car and opened the door for me, “Gentleman.” I winked as he shut the door and headed to his side.

“For you baby.” He smiled, slipping the keys into the ignition and we headed to the restaurant. I slipped my fingers within his and held tightly.

As soon as we got to the restaurant, I noticed people staring at Ames and I felt a sort of pride knowing that he was all mine. I was a bit possessive, I admit it, but he was practically perfect and I didn’t want anybody else to have him.

The waiter sat us down and we looked over the menu, “Thank you for bringing me here… This is my favorite restaurant in the city.”

He nodded, “I know.” He pushed my hair back.

I laughed, “I have butterflies in my stomach."

He reached out and tickled my sides, making me squeal out, “Ames!!” He started to laugh as he poked me again, making me back away, “Stop that!! People are staring!” I said swatting him as I laughed.

He grabbed my wrists and pulled me back into him, “Who cares?” He said, cradling my head in his hands and kissed me again. I felt so happy with him, I could have probably cared less about the world.

“Ames…” I breathed out against his mouth.

“Worried about people staring again?” He asked between placing soft kisses on my jaw.

“Worried we’re going to get kicked out of this restaurant before dinner!” I laughed.

He pulled away and smirked at me, “If you want to get us kicked out I have some much more creative ways.”

I grinned at him wickedly, “Oh, so do I Ames, but good things come to those who wait.”

He sighed, “Fine, but we can’t exactly act like this is a first date, we already know basically everything about each other."

I nodded, “You’re right… So it’s not exactly the first date between us, but I have those butterflies in my stomach.” I bit my lip as I felt my cheeks burn.

“God, you’re so f.ucking adorable…” He leaned in and kissed my cheek.

“Hi there. I’m going to be your waiter tonight…” The waiter smiled at the two of us, “Can I get you a drink to start off?”

“Can I get a scotch and soda.” Ames told him.

“And I want a glass of pinot noir.” I smiled.

“Get her the best bottle.” Ames said, smiling.

The waiter nodded and was on his way, “A bottle?” I asked looking at him, “Are you trying to get my drunk?” I smiled.

“No, a bottle is better.” He smiled, “Drink as much as you want baby. Get whatever you want.” He told me.

“You’re spoiling me…” I looked into his eyes.

“Finally…” He pushed my hair back, “I mean I’ve wanted this for so long.”

“Bottles of wine and food aren’t going to keep me.” I laughed.

“I know, I want to spend time with you Mila. Be with you. Whatever you want to do… I want to do.” He smiled.

I grinned, “Are you going to go all ‘Notebook’ on me. ‘If I’m a bird, you’re a bird?’” I giggled.

“I don’t know what that means, but if it makes you happy…”

I grinned, “You’ve never seen the Notebook?” I asked him.

He shook his head, “I’m worried you’re going to make me watch it.”

I shook my head, “Hell no! We’re not watching anything together with steamy sex scenes.”

“I’m more interested now…” He admitted with a smirk on his face, “Who’s the girl in it?”

My jaw instantly dropped and I lightly smacked him, “There’s no way I’m sitting next to you while you ogle Rachel McAdams’ t.its!!” 

He laughed, “I can’t believe you just said that.” He shook his head, “But now I know how to get out of watching chick flicks.”

“Oh, you’re trying to trick me!” I grinned and shook a finger at him, “Naughty.”

He leaned into nuzzle my neck and whispered in my ear, “Just so you know, I’m vetoing the no watching steamy sex scenes rule from earlier.”

I let out a little moan and placed a hand against his chest, “Oh? Do you need ideas from movies Mr. Alere?”

He laughed, “Yes, that’s it.” He nodded, “I’m terrible uncreative in bed. What you’ve already gotten is all there is.”

I smirked, trying to not laugh, “Why don’t I believe you?"

“Are you ready to order?” The waiter interrupted us.

“I’ll have the salmon.” Ames said turning towards me.

“I’m surprised you’re not ordering for me like the control freak you are.” I smirked at him.

He rose a brow, “Control freak, huh? I just know what you want.” He told me, and I knew he wasn’t just talking about food.

“Prove it.” I challenged him.

He grinned wider and turned towards the waiter, “She’ll have the filet mignon, no sauce and the vinaigrette dressing with the salad.” He added, “No onions.” 

The waiter turned to me for my approval and I nodded. I looked back towards Ames, “You are good.”

“I know.” He smirked.

“You’re perfect.” I told him, staring at with him with stars in my eyes. How did I get so lucky?

He shook his head, “I’m not, but you are. You’re the one that’s amazing… So what do people who know each other so well talk about on their first date?” He asked me.

I gave him a laugh, “I honestly don’t know.” I shook my head.

“We never talked about New York… How was it? Really?”

I titled my head to the side, “Amazing… It made me want to start designing… but of course I missed you.”

“And you really didn’t date?” He grinned.

I shook my head, “It’s a shock to me too honestly, but I was there for me, not for anybody else. Dating was honestly the last thing on my mind.”

He grinned, “Honestly, I’m relieved… Ever since you left, I was kind of going insane…”

I laughed, “I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to.”

“Don’t worry about it… You’re worth everything…”

I blushed, “God, you know exactly the words to say. It’s going to be hard not to rip your clothes off Ames.”

“I can help you. I’ll just take off my clothes for you. No need to rip them off.” He winked.

“Thanks for the help. I appreciate it, but I just have to be careful.” I told him honestly.

“You’re slowly killing me you know that?” He said in a breathy whisper with a fire in his eyes.

“I’m sorry.” My breathing became staggered.

He groaned and pressed his lips against mine, “You’re turned on.” He whispered against my mouth.

“How can you tell?” I asked breathlessly as he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulling me into his harder.

He trailed his lips down my neck and then back up again, “Your eyes… your breathing. Your face gets flushed… you get a f.uck me look that’s so damn hard to resist.”

“I have a f.uck me look?” I asked with a grin as I bit my lip.

“Yes.” He said struggling.

I laughed, grabbing his tie and pulled him back towards my lips as I kissed him once more before speaking against his lips, “If your hand was between my legs you’d realize my face isn’t the only saying f.uck me right now Ames.”

“Milena, I’m trying damned hard to follow your rules but you can only push me so far before I will break.”

I tried to not to react, but it was so f.ucking hard, “I know, ugh, I’m so sorry, you just bring out my slu.tty side.” I told him honestly.

He grinned, pushing my hair out of my eyes, “I didn’t know you had one of those… You should tell me more about it.” I was ready to say something, but he placed a finger over my lips, “At a time where I’m able to do something about it.”

I giggled as the food was set down, “Thank you.” I smiled to the waiter. Honestly I hadn’t even noticed anyone other than Ames tonight. It was like I was infatuated with him… but who could blame me? He was practically perfect and pretty much the man of my dreams. I could feel other women staring jealously, but I didn’t even notice. He was mine. Finally.

“How’s your steak?” Ames asked as he forked some vegetables in his mouth.

I nodded, “Delicious, like usual.” I looking at him and honestly all I could think about was ripping off that suit of his and doing naughty things that I should shake out of my head.

“What are you thinking about beautiful?” He asked.

I shook my head, “Just how lucky I am…” I leaned over and gently kissed him on the lips, “Thanks for pretty much being perfect.” I grinned.

“You are instead.” He whispered, kissing me sweetly once more before going back to eating.

I blushed, “So, I know we’ve gone through this whole stuff and now we’re finally dating… so what happens next?” I asked him.

“What do you mean?” He furrowed his brows.

I shrugged, “I mean, god, we’ve gone through this whole back and forth teasing thing for so long now and now we’re actually dating. Which I love, but  only a week ago, I didn’t imagine what would happen after… Does that make sense?”

He nodded, “Yeah… honestly, I just want to be with you Mila. Be near you… Not even sexually. I just love the way you are…”

I blushed even more, “God, if you keep talking this way, I’m going to have to throw out the celibacy pact with you.”

He laughed, “Even though I am looking forward to that, I’m being honest Milena… I’ve never been so attracted to a woman completely as I am with you. I can’t stop thinking about you.”

“You are such a sweet talker.” I told him with a wink and kissed his cheek once more.

"Well look who we have here..." I heard a familiar snarky voice and I turned my attention to see Braden.

"Braden?" My eyes went wide and my body went stiff.

"You sure this guy is 'just a friend?'" He glared back at me, referring to when we were dating.

"Walk away." Ames ordered in a growl as he narrowed his eyes at Braden.

"I'm sorry, I was pretty sure I was talking to the woman who agreed to marry me, not the loser she's whoring it out for." Braden glared and Ames quickly stood up and walked closer to him.

"Insult Milena again and see what happens to you." He dared Braden and I had never seen him so angry before.

"I'm not afraid of you." Braden said in a shaky voice that wasn't so reassuring.

"You should be. You don't have the right to look at her, much less anything else. When a guy has a girl like Milena and still can't keep his d.ick in his pants? You know he's a pathetic excuse for a man. Leave. Now." Ames told him and I almost cried from joy... No man has ever stood up for me like that. Ever.

"F.uck you. You don'tknow me, or anything about my relationship with Mila."

That's when I couldn't stand idly by anymore, "Relationship?!" I stood up, getting in his face, "What part of what we had was a relationship?! The part where you ignored me? The part where you put your job before me every time? Or was it the part where you were screwing some who wasn't me? We weren't in a relationship Braden. I was just arm candy for your massive ego!"

"I loved you!!" He growled and suddenly my hand was out and slapping him right across his face.

"Don't you dare call what we had love!! It's an insult to what true love is. Something you will never understand since you only love yourself." He stared at me, confused, "Now get the hell away from me, you're ruining a perfectly good date. And no, he's not just a friend. But that's no longer any of your business."

He glared before the both of us and he walked away before he stopped and turned back around, getting a new bout of courage, "Just one thing; Don't you love it when she purrs for you?" He smirked, "When she's riding you."

I saw a look of pure anger flash across Ames' face, and his fists clenched, ready to hit him but I grabbed his hand and pulled him towards me, "It's not worth it Ames. He's a pathetic person, who knows how to get a rise of you." I placed my palm on his cheek, "It's okay, letting him go without a black eye just proces how strong you are."

"Yeah, listen to the little b.itch." Braden smirked at the two of us.

Ames glared at him once more, "If you don't leave now, I will kill you."

"You're too much of a coward to do anything."

"Leave!" I screamed at him before slapping him once more.

He glared at me and realized that I wasn't playing with him anymore and turned on his heel, storming out.

I sighed, "I'm so sorry baby." I told him, intertwining our fingers.

"Sorry?" He gave me a small smile and placed his hands on my cheeks, "Baby, that was amazing!"

I let out a chuckle, "Amazing?"

He nodded, "You were amazing. I've never seen you be that strong!" He kissed me on the lips deeply, "You were perfect."

I laughed, "God that felt good."

He kissed my forehead, "Let's go to Ladurée and get some macarons to celebrate."

I laughed, "That sounds amazing baby."

He wrapped his arm around my waist and kissed the top of my head, "Great, do you want to drive or walk?" He asked me, but my thoughts were on the incident that just happened. How could Braden say those things? Use my past against Ames and I now. "What's wrong Mila?" Ames struck me out of my daze.

"Ugh, I just hate that he said that. I hate how I wasted my time on him, my body. I hate that he used that against me, against you!" 

We stopped outside the restaurant and he turned me in his arms, "It's in the past Mila. Remember? We started clean, no matter what he says. He's not a part of us."

"You're right... I'm sorry. Let's walk, it's surprisingly nice out tonight." I smiled as we walked down the sidewalk.

"Besides... you purr when I kiss you. From what I remember? When you're riding me you're screaming." He grinned wickedly down at me, making me blush.

"Ames..." I whispered, licking my lips.

He smiled wider, "Have I mentioned how much I like the way you say my name?" He asked me, leaning down to nuzzle my neck.

I grinned, letting out a light moan, "Mmm, Ames..."

He groaned, nipping my neck, "Tease."

We reached the shop and he held the door open for me, making me laugh, "You like it."

He shrugged, "I might, but I'd like it more if I knew when the torture would end." He joked.

I hope he finally realized why I was doing this... That I wasn't just trying to be a tease. I wanted him so f.ucking bad, but I wanted it to be real with him.
