Chapter 6 - Play the game
Darcy met Brayden in one of the most expensive steakhouses; Brayden was already sitting alone on a table, waiting for her to arrive.
He was dressed casually, wearing black pants, leather black boots, a grey shirt, and a black leather jacket.
He was not wearing an expensive watch or chains. He was here for one reason, and that reason was not to show off any of his wealthy accessories, but to charm one beautiful lady, and all he needed to do was be himself.
Time passed, and she still was not there, and he grew impatient as he kept checking the time on his phone.
Minutes later, someone appeared on his back and taped him to his shoulder.
He was startled but quickly recovered when he noticed an angel standing behind him.
She was wearing a Fay Berry Velvet Corset Style Knot Maxi Dress.
Which took Brayden's breath away!!!
The date began within 15 hours of knowing each other—
She was trying a new dish on the menu and head pinning on the plate; obviously, she appears to enjoy it and was to savor every little bite.
He cleared his throat, hoping to get Darcy's attention. “Hem,”
She looks at him smiling. “You like that aren't you?“
She took her napkin and wiped her mouth, but one last crum remained on the side of her mouth, which Brayden wiped with his finger before licking his fingers.
Darcy blushed and asked, "Do you want to taste it?"
“No, thank you!“ He refuses.
“Come on Brayden don't be shy,” she said.
BRAYDEN shook smirked, shook his head and looked down then back up.
“Seriously, do you think I'm really shy?“
“Yes, you are! come on now taste it,” she forced a little piece towards him.
"Okay," Brayden said, and after tasting, his expression changed dramatically.
Darcy noticed that and inquired, "How was it?"
"I should probably come and eat here more frequently!" He replied
Darcy was more than pleased with the response, and she leaned back with the most satisfying smile on her face.
Minutes later the Server approached.
“As i can she, y'all did more than enjoyed” she cleared the table of the empty plates and continued “I will let you finish the wine before bringing the check, in the meanwhile if you want something else don't be afraid to asked?“
“The only thing I want now... is you, but unfortunately, I don't think I saw you in the menu,” Flirted Brayden.
“No, you are right. I am not on that menu; I am on a very special one, but I believe I can fix it for you," she politely replied.
“Sure, another question, do you think I'm shy?“ Demanded Brayden.
THE SERVER grin softly.
"No, you are definitely not. I do not think a shy young man would have pulled something like that in front of his girlfriend."
THE SERVER to DARCY
“You don't seem jealous, do you?“
“No, I'm not and he's also not my boyfriend but It's actually our first date he just trying to impress me,” Stated Darcy
"Okay, but that seems too risky to me. By the way, good line; if you were not joking or on a date, I would have probably fallen for it!" Added the Waitress.
“But you did fell, didn't you?“ blurted Brayden
“Yes, but a little bit” answered the Waitress
They all start laughing including Darcy
“Good to see you that you have a sense of humor. "Because if it were someone else, they would probably kick me out by now," Brayden declared.
“No, I don't think so because...You know what I said enough for tonight, and I do not want your future girlfriend to be upset with you afterwards; thank you for the compliment, by the way!" she pretended to turn around and stopped looking at him.
“No, I can take a joke too!“ Affirmed Darcy
They all start laughing again.
“Can we have the check please?“
“Just one moment,” she signaled.
Brayden then turned to Darcy, noticing her card was already on the table, and whispered, "Put that back; I got you!"
Hands on his pocket, attempting to reach for his wallet.
DARCY declines.
“No, I invited you remember?“
"Come on, I just want to do it once," begged Brayden.
“Sound like someone never pay a restaurant bill before?“ Chessed Darcy.
“It might sound crazy what I'm about to say,”
“Did you ever find out why?“ She questioned
"Not exactly, but I guess because everyone refers to me as a rich boy!" He exclaimed
“But you are a rich boy!“
“No, my parents are! I worked my ass off to earn my own money. He stated
"Wow! You never cease to amaze me!"
"Yes, because I am full of surprises," he said, leaning in and mumbling into her ear.
DARCY smiled and said to Brayden
“So, what kind of job you used to do?“
“I was also a waiter at a restaurant back in New York but here I'm still searching for one,” he announced.
"Wow, I would pay to have you serve me," she said.
“You would've still pay anyway,”
DARCY burst out of laugh.
"Good one...ok, let us pay together!" She then offered.
THE SERVER approached once more, dropped the check.
“There it is! I hope you both had an amazing time with us and want to come back for more."
“We will definitely be back,” declared Darcy.
“Alright, good to hear. Have a wonderful night!!“ She added then went away.
BRAYDEN to DARCY
"Thank you, that is all I ask!"
They paid the bill and left.
He left something in an envelope for the server with a word on it, which she noticed and sneered at.
You should probably ask yourself if Darcy saw what Brayden wrote on the envelope. The answer is yes, and she was the one who wrote it. Brayden did provide the idea, which she wrote down.
Outside of the restaurant, hand in hands she then demanded.
“What else should we do?“ Without blinking, I looked directly into his eyes.
“I don't know go and box perhaps,” Sacarstically suggested Brayden.
DARCY took it seriously and became suddenly excited.
“Not a bad idea I always want to do that!“
“Hey, I was kidding,”
She then stepped in front of him, impeding his path. Making a pouty face.
“I want to do it please..."I want to know how to box in case someone attacks me so I can defend myself," she begged.
Nonetheless, he politely refused, saying, "I will be there for you; you do not need to."
"I know, but that is precisely why I want to do it; I want to have your back."
Hearing that was a very good reason to let her do it and let her have some fun so he got convinced “That's a good damn reason let's go,”
They went in and spoke with the people in charge, who gave them everything they needed for a boxing match, and then they prepared to enter the boxing ring.
As soon as they entered the boxing ring, he went into full teaching mode.
"I am not a professional, but I can teach you what my trainer first taught me...These a six basic boxing punches: Jab, Cross, Lead hook, Rear hook, Lead uppercut and Rear uppercut...“ he explained
"There are six punches in the punch count number system, but they can also be divided into four main types of boxing punches...The four types of punches are: jab, cross, hook, and uppercut," he added.
"You are so cute while teaching; are you sure you are not a pro?"
"Trust me, I am not, but I learned from the best!!" He Affirmed
“You're not half bad yourself,” she Complimented him.
BRAYDEN flushed.
“Really, thanks!“
Brayden then continued to teach her almost everything she had to know.
POV: The rest of the lesson was really fast.
And after a while they were getting ready to affront each other.
“Okay, now let me see what you learned,” mumbled BRAYDEN
“Please don't let me win, because I don't like cheating,” says the smart girl.
"Oh, okay, Tiger...so listen, we are not going to have a referee, we are just going to do it like the first person who gets dropped three times loses...got that?"
DARCY could not keep up with all of the chit-chat; she was in atagirl mode.
“Yeah, let's go!“
Then they started but the first time Brayden got dropped.
“Not bad,” He muttered but then got serious.
“Please don't go easy on me I want all the smoke,” she suggested once again.
They began again, but this time Brayden dominated and won.
As she stood up, Brayden saw sight of blood when she touched the side of her mouth he then feel bad so he walks to her and try to help her and make sure she was okay.
“So sorry, Are you ok?“ He demanded as he passes his finger on the side of the lip that was bleeding. She flinched.
He immediately stepped away from her, about to take off his boxing gloves “I think we should stop,”
But DARCY refuses,
"Now is not the time to back down on me. One-on-one, so we continue."
"I am not backing down; I just care about you and want you to be safe!!" He Affirmed
“Don't you think I already know that? Enough people care for me. I want to be able to do it on my own,” she shouted.
“Are you sure?“
“Yes!“
"I want it to be your idea, not one that I put into your head."
"Brayden," she squawked, looking him straight in the eyes. "Stop worrying and stop treating me like a baby; I wanted this so we can go again."
He did not want to, but he finished by accepting that they start over. Darcy won with a beautiful hook, and Brayden won again on the fourth try.
DARCY stood up quickly, excited and full of adrenaline, hitting her boxing gloves together several times.
“Come on 2-2 baby!“
BRAYDEN noticed she was having fun and smiled, putting aside his feelings of pity as he approached her and attempted to finish this.
“You want all the smoke? I'll give you all the smoke...the next point is the winner,” he announced.
Darcy emerged victorious in the final round following a series of movements and struggles.
However, the final move was illegal.
"I have not shown you that move yet, but it was fantastic. You are the winner, Darcy Tyson!" Brayden declared as he took her hand and proudly raised it.
“Don't you think tyson is an overreach?“
“Would you like the name Paul better then,”
"Still not; remember, he beat him!"
“Ugh, it was an old Mike Tyson that is not a flex!“ He stated
“Still a great achievement! I want my name to be original,”
“Alright, Darcy the fearless!!“
“Not too bad, I'll take it!! and I by the way I saw that move on TV,” she Affirmed
"Was not too hard to figure out," he mumbled, and Darcy smirked. "Anyway…good job you have just defeated the greatest boxer of all time!!"
"I learned from the best.Are you sure you did not take it easy on me? She demanded as her curiosity got the best of her.
Wondering how in the world he beat Brayden. She ran when she just learn how to walk!!
"Just a little bit!"
“I knew it!!“
BRAYDEN laughed.
"Hahaha, you did great, anyone who tried to hurt you like you said you can knock them out, and you are worthy to have my back from now on."
“Only one more thing I want to do now, It's in my bucket list,” she proceeded
“Go ahead we still have time before the party,”
“I want to know how to use a gun and learn how to disarm someone,” she proposed
“Actually, there's a place not too far from here!“ Brayden confirmed as they walked down to the ring.
"You are not going to ask me why this time," she said, making direct eye contact.
"There are many things I have not asked you about yet, but I will, I promise."
They went over to the changing room and straight to the location he mentioned. Brayden with another professional demonstrating how it is done.
The way she grabbed the mini submachine was incorrect. He came next to her, then behind her, touched her chest, and back slowly and smoothly tried to help her fix her posture. Then she descended slowly until he reached her arms. He let go, and he whispered smoothly.
"Now,"
Then she started Blasting.
POV: That scene was also fast, after that they talked but no one could hear any conversation.
And after they were eating ice cream.
“Tell me what is your goals?“ Asked Darcy
“My goals are to be known all over the world, I want to become an actor, You?“
"Good one, becoming an astronaut was my main goal when I was younger, but now I want to be a journalist," she explained.
"That is also a good one, and it was one of mine too!" He stated
“Well not anymore,”
They started laughing
“You're right, I don't think nothing can stop you trying to make your dream become true!“
“What make you said that?“ Questioned Darcy, taking his hand.
"Because you are a smart girl, you learn quickly, and it appears you have never received a C- grade!" He went on to elaborate.
"That is also true; I never had a C. I only had B+, A-, and A+. I had a B- once, and when that happened, I slept that night trying to figure out why and doing it over and over so the next time I can have an A+," she explained.
"You are exceptional!!" Complimented Brayden
Darcy grunts, "Mmm, you are making me blush; no one has ever said that to me before!"
"You really are, and even if no one ever told you, you must know that you are to me!!" He went on.
“Aww thanks!“
“Can I ask you a question?“
"About why I learned how to use a firearm?"She Guessed
“That too, but I have another one,”
“Okay,” she replied
"What do you want to be your greatest accomplishment?" Not one of your goals, but not what you meant when you said you wanted to be a journalist."
"I understand...may I tell you what is in your ear? Because no one can ever hear that”
BRAYDEN hunched forward.
Darcy then whispered something in his ear that no one could hear, which surprised him.
“You've got to be kidding me?“
"Yes, I am serious, but not today because it is our first date and we need to take it slow!" She Affirmed.
“Says who?“ He said and she burst out of laugh “No one never said you can't do whatever you want to do in your first date, that is your choice…”
She did not even let him finish his sentence; she stood in front of him, hissed, kissed him, and he kissed her in return.
Following this unforgettable moment, she proceeded to whisper to him,
"We did it; I have wanted to do that since I first laid eyes on you!"
"That was unexpected, but I thoroughly enjoyed kissing you!!"
DARCY laughed.
“Hahaha, same...before we arrive at the party, now it's my turn to ask you a question Brayden,”
BRAYDEN raised his head as she inquired.
"What is your greatest fear?"
“Snakes!! of course there's another one. It's being play by someone I really like, what I mean by that is being use a as bridge so that person can get to someone close to me.“ He explained
DARCy was not surprised.
"Wow, okay, I understand!"
“You?“ Brayden asked her on his turn.
"I can not get what I want, no matter how hard I try!" She Affirmed.
BRAYDEN Nodded.
“Yeah, I feel you,”
They grabbed each other's hands and continued on their way to the party, where they arrived quickly.
