When He Looked My Way

First Time For Everything

Damon's POV

Tonight is the night. I can't wait to have Hannah all to myself. I had so much plans about how our dinner date would be.

The first thought was to fly over to Paris and have dinner under the Eiffel tower. It can be done but it's a long flight and she would be tired by the time we get there.

Then I thought about taking her out on the dock and have dinner in the middle of the ocean in my Yatch but I have had so many girls over there it just didn't feel right.

Every part of that Yatch was filled with memories of countless women whom most I can't even remember their faces.

Hannah is special so whatever I decide has to be special as well. I then thought about hiring out a top restaurant but I already did that when I took her out for breakfast.

I had run out of options when one popped in my head. If I wanted tonight to be special I had to add some personal touch to it.

Whilst I could have just taken her out somewhere fancy, I decided that I would instead bring her over here. This way I can make her feel special and treat her that way.

Can someone tell again why I didn't hire on of the many celebrity chefs in city again? I say this as I take out a second batch of my failed chocolate souffle.

In case you where wondering what I was talking about. I decided to cook our dinner. Don't worry I took a cooking class so I'm good.

It was supposed to Vivian in that school but she wouldn't go so I went in her place instead. When I went there is was just looking for girls to take home.

Instead when I got there, I discovered that I love cooking and so I stayed on till I graduated. I thought I was good but chocolate souffle has always been my downfall.

I was not going to give up so I tried again and it came out great, I just hoped it tasted as good as it looked because I used dark chocolate.

When I was done with making dinner and dessert, I took a shower and freshened up. I didn't want to look too formal so I just went with a simple look.

White Shirt, tan chinos and White sneakers. I looked great, even if I have to say so myself. William came into my bedroom to tell me that he was leaving.

He was going to fetch Hannah whilst I set us up in my balcony. I wanted to do everything myself but I couldn't arrange flowers like the florists.

So instead I got them to decorate my place with flowers and have one special bunch especially made for her.

I finished setting up and everything was done, I was just waiting for Hannah and even I must admit that I was a little bit nervous. I hope she likes what I did to my place.

My phone vibrated in my pockets, it was a text from William telling me that they're only five minutes away.

I waited in anticipation as the lift opens and Hannah comes walking in wearing a breathtaking little black dress.

It was a black lace dress with an a line skirt that went just above her knees. Her beautiful shaved legs looked gorgeous in black Prada stilletos.

She had on makeup but it was very light, I notice that her hair looks different and I loved how she looked with curls.

" Hi..." She said shyly as she made her way to where I was standing.

"Hi gorgeous, you look breathtaking." I said as I have her a kiss on her forehead and handed her the bunch of flowers. " These are for you." I said as I have her the flowers.

"Thank you, they're beautiful." She took them and gave them a quick sniff with a smile.

"Shall we?"

I said as I handed my hand out for her to reach. I took her hand and walked her to the balcony where i pulled out the chair for her.

As soon as she sat down I popped a bottle of champagne. It was already on ice and the strawberries where on standby.

"This place is gorgeous." She said with a smile.

"Thank you, William found this place for me. I'll give you a tour later " I said as I have her the glass of champagne.

I sat down and poured myself a glass of champagne. I was really nervous. This girl really knows how to make me feel like that.

"When you said dinner, this isn't what I had expected." She said with a smile.

"I know, I wanted tonight to be special." I said because it was what I had hoped for tonight. I didn't tell her that this was not my first choice for tonight.

"Well I certainly feel special, Thank you." she said with a genuine smile.

"Wait until you see what I made for our dinner." I said with pride.

"You cook?" She sounded both shocked and surprised that I can cook.

"Yes I cook..." I said as I didn't want to blow my own horn.

"I can't wait to taste your food." She said.

I can't wait to test her too. She looked so beautiful I just wanted to jump off the table and kiss her senseless.

"I'll go get the food." I said as I made my way to the kitchen.

Our first dish was a starter, it was nothing heavy, just a little smoked salmon. Something light and something to open her appetite.

I took away the champagne and added replaced it with white wine. It was going to go great with our food.

I watched her eyes grow big at the sight of the plate infront of her. presentation is everything. The salmon had a few drops of sweet and sour source. some carrots and asparagus.

After watching her ear every piece of her salmon i stood up to fetch the main which was shrimp, some crab and kalamari and a Ceasar salad.

I decided to go for seafood. I wanted to prepare something we would both enjoy and I remember that Vivian said she liked seafood.

She was blown away even more by the second dish which was the main course. I didn't want to overfeed her so it was just going to be a simple three cours meal.

"The food was delicious, I don't think I've tasted anything better than this... " she said as she took the last bite of her chocolate souffle.

"I take it that dinner was a success." I said to her.

"A huge success, I can't remember the last time I ate so much, I don't think that I can even move." she said with a laugh.

I must say that Hannah had a beautiful laugh. Everything about her was exceptional.

After dinner we sat outside in my balcony under the stars. There was outdoor furniture there which I never used till today.

I watched Hannah as sheade herself comfortable on one the couches. I went back inside for more wine and a blanket.

If she wanted to star gaze u would let her but I couldn't risk her getting cold. I had to keep her warm.

Quiet frankly I thought she would leave after dinner but seeing her make herself comfortable made see that she was not ready to leave just yet.

"I got us more wine." I said as I went over to her.

"Are you trying to get me drunk Mr Heights ?" She asked with a smile.

"Is it working?" I said with a smile.

"Yes it is, I think I'm a bit tipsy." She said with a giggle. she was definitely intoxicated.

I sat down and snuggle beside her inside the blanket. She smelled so good. In moments she had laid her head on my shoulder. It was a lovely feeling.

"Hey bro, I'm ba... Oh I didn't realize you still had company." William said at the sight of me and Hannah who was sound asleep.

"Yes and I think she'll be staying over." I said as I gently moves her head to the side.

"Alright then, I have this for you." he gave me a file.

"Is this what I think it is?" I asked him and he gave me a nod.

I guess this means that William finally has a breakthrough into finding the woman who called herself Hannah's mother.

The woman who left her daughter when she was ten years old and never looked back.

"That woman has good reasons to hide, I would if I was also in her position." William said as he walked out and left me with a file in my hands.

I didn't want Hannah to wake up and find the contents of the files so I went to my study and opened my safe, I threw the file in there. I'll look at it when I'm alone.

I looked at Hannah sleeping so peaceful I hated that I had to move her. I went over to the couch and lifted her up.

I took her to my bedroom and out her on my bed. I know that she wouldn't have wanted to fall asleep in that dress and make up.

So I undressed her carefully without waking her up. I then clothed her in one of my T-shirts. I didn't take off her underwear though.

I then went over to the room that Vivian uses when she's here and went through her toiletries, I found some facial wipes and used them to wipe off the make up from her face.

It was already way past my bedtime so I changed into my pyjama pants and joined her in bed.

I couldn't help myself. She was so close to me I just had to cuddle up and spoon with her. This was also a first for me.

Never had I brought anyone to this apartment and never have I slept and spooned with a any woman before.

For the first time in my life I fell asleep happy. it was great to have Hanna here in my bed with me. I closed my eyes and Hannah was all I could think about.
