Candle lit dinner

Chapter 16

Candle lit dinner

I hung up the phone, and tears started to flow down my cheeks. “No matter how much they hurt you, you still want them to be proud of you, and they are still your parents. And even I have pleasant memories of my parents.” Catherine moved closer to me and wrapped her arms around my body, pulled me back into her warm embrace and planted some gentle kisses at the base of my neck.

“It doesn’t matter how much you rebel against your parents you still want them to be proud of what you achieve.”

“I know. I can’t understand why they can’t accept things the way they are, I’m not changing because they can’t handle the truth. I’ve tried that and it didn’t make me happy.” I answered while I turned and looked deeply into Catherine’s blue eyes.

“Me neither.” Catherine said while she planted a kiss on my lips.

“Do you remember when we where at Lindsey’s school? When I heard that Lindsey defended you, us, and our relationship. That really gave me a rush of love and acceptance. I have to admit that I was proud of her.”

“I know what you mean, but I can’t tell Lindsey that. Because I would tell her that it’s okay when you fight for a good cause. Did you know that that was the second time that she was caught fighting. About a year ago she was caught when someone said that it was only right that Eddie was murdered. Eddie was a bastard, but he never did anything to Lindsey. He knew that I would kill him if he even tried. That was the only reason I allowed him to be with her. He was a good father and he knew that I wouldn’t allow him to see my daughter if he turned up drunk or anything. And the fact that he could do that for Linds makes him a good dad to her ahat hat is what counts in the end.”

Catherine let go of her embrace. “C’mon girl, let’s get dressed and have a nice candle lit dinner somewhere. I saw a great place one block down the street.”

Half an hour later we where teasing each other in front of the mirror. Trying to get some space to adjust make-up and to do our hair.
“You know you never have these kind of struggles with a man!” Catherine exclaimed frustrated when I pushed her aside once again. I sent her a gap toothed grin and tried to straighten my hair.

“Nope you won’t have these struggles, but the sex isn’t half as good either.” I said with a huge grin.

“Well you’re right about that, are you almost ready or what?” She asked while she leaned against the door.

The elevator took us to ground level and we walked out hand in hand. I saw that the clerk at the front desk was observing us intently and I just couldn’t let this chance go by. I stopped Catherine and pulled her closer to me. I started kissing her in front of the clerk. I stepped forward and pulCathCatherine with me as we walked out through the revolving doors I could see the clerks face turn beet red within a split second as I sent him a smile.

We walked down the street, talking softly to each other until we reached the restaurant that Catherine had seen. It was a small dark restaurant with a warm feel to it. I held the door open and let Catherine enter. She asked for a table for two and the waiter showed us the way to a small table in the back.

We sat down as the waiter lit the candle. I looked across the table towards Catherine, the flames where dancing on her face. Her beauty was the only thing that I could see. Catherine looked up at me, the flame reflecting in her eyes she smiled. The look in her eyes made me want her even more. I moved my hand towards Catherine’s over the table and just held hers in mine.

The waiter appeared at the table again and we ordered dinner. We talked for a while until dinner was served. We both ate in silence, I was thinking about my life, my relationship and the long way that I had come to find the love of my life.
