A Striking Unrealized Truth Chapter 13

Chapter 13

Bo sat across from Nora. They were both nervous, it was their official first date. The waitress came over and brought their food. They both sat in silence as they ate, not really sure what to say.

“Oh Red, this ridiculous!”
Nora sighed and put her fork down.

“I know! I just. I am so nervous.”

“I am too, but we have no reason too. When you think about it, we have been dating for over a year now.”
Nora laughed.

“I guess you’re right.”
“We know each other already, we’ve NEVER had a problem with discussion before.”
“But it’s different.”
“Because it’s a date?”
“Because we are starting a relationship that could lead to a life together. Marriage, kids.”
Bo scooted closer to her.

“Red I think we are beyond that. I think you and I know it is leading to that future. For me, there is no could. I am going to marry you, we are going to have a family.”
Nora cupped his face, he could see tears in her eyes.

“God Bo, doesn’t that scare you?”
“No. Does it scare you?”
She took a deep breath, Bo could see she was trying to come up with the right answer.

“Yes and No.”
Bo took her hand and kissed it.

“Tell me why Red.”
“No, because I love you so much and you are my best friend. Yes, because I love you and you are my best friend. I don’t think I could survive losing you.”

Bo kissed her gently.

“Red. I can’t say we won’t hurt each other, but we will never ever lose each other. I couldn’t bare it either if I lost you.” Bo ran his hands through her hair. “I love you beyond reason.”
He pulled her to him, kissing her. Nora put a hand on his chest and moaned. The kiss quickly deepened. Bo reluctantly pulled away from her. Her eyes were filled with passion. He needed to get them out of there. He stood up and put his hand out.

“Let’s get out of here honey.”
Nora smiled and took his hand. He pulled her body him and wrapped his arm around her waist as they began to leave. His face fell when he saw who was coming their way. Justin.

“Well, well. If it isn’t the happy couple. Tell me the truth how long have you two sleeping together?”
Bo felt Nora tense.

“I told you Justin, Bo and I have never slept together. I am sorry if you are hurt, but I love Bo.”
Justin laughed and shook his head.

“I can’t wait till he dumps you, don’t come running back to me. All he wants is you in his bed and as soon as he does he’ll leave.”
“Justin you know nothing about Nora and I if you truly believe I’d do that to her.”
“I know you Buchanan. But I can’t blame you, she is hot and so good in bed. I will miss have her in my bed.”
Bo gripped Nora tighter to him.

“Our past relationships don’t matter, what matters is us and only us. I will be the one who has her for the rest my life.”
“Bo please, let’s go. I don’t want to listen to him anymore.”

“With pleasure Red.”
Bo quickly guided her out of the restaurant before Justin could say anything else. Nora stopped him right before they got to the car.

“Bo I am sorry he said that.”
Bo kissed her.

“Red, I don’t care what he says. All I care about is you. Are you okay?”
She took a deep breath and nodded. Bo moved her hair behind her ear and smiled.

“Red, lets get out here and find a nice place to talk.”
“You want to go back to the Palace?”
“No.”
Nora looked at him confused.

“Then where do you want to go?”
Bo took her hand and guided her to the car.

“It is going to be a surprise.”
“Oh, I love surprises!”
Bo laughed.

“Oh Red, I know, I know.”
