Elena waited until finished sharing the two drinks with her and having his fun kissing her lips in-between before gring at him as if saying : "No more kissing for you young man." then got off his p and fixed her dress before taking the seat facing him.

  *Ehm*

  After clearing her throat she regained her serious persona but her blushed cheeks betrayed her true emotions currently whirling beneath that straight face, "Now tell this big sister," Elena stared at him right in the eyes while trying her best to prevent herself from reacting to the amused smile which appeared on Bryan's face when she called herself that, "Why did you ask me to quit my job?"

  "It's a long story," Bryan sighed because he already knew that Elena is going to ask that question sooner than ter, "Do you still want to hear it?" He asked.

  Elena put two elbows on the table and leaned her body forward while supporting her cheek on her right fist then opened her mouth to say : "Go on little brother... Bore me to death."

  Bryan rolled his eyes because this wasn't the attitude of someone bored at all, this woman was dying to hear about everything!

  "Come live with us." Bryan said while mimicking her and rexing on both elbows against the table then leaned forward to watch her beautiful face.

  *Tsk*

  Elena clicked her tongue, "Where did that come from? I give you an inch and you dare take a mile!" She said while turning her head to look away but her cheeks were blushing deeper, "Are you not afraid of me leading your two missuses to give you trouble?" Elena asked while taking a side-gnce to check his reaction.

  Bryan had her look at him with a gentle touch on her left cheek before seriously saying : "I'm more afraid of losing you if I take my eyes off you Elena, all trouble from the three of you is more than welcome to me... As long as you're close and nearby where I can make sure to keep you safe then everything is going to be alright."

  'This is so unfair... This is cheating... How am I supposed to say no after you said that?' Elena thought while closing her eyes to enjoy his gentle touch on her face.

  "You still didn't answer my question." Elena said without opening her eyes as if afraid his warm and gentle eyes would distract her from getting that answer.

  "Because your talent is wasted in that position." Bryan said to tease Elena.

  Indeed her big eyes snapped open and she gave him an annoyed look before saying : "Even I knew that, now say it."

  Bryan struggled not to ugh because even when Elena was mad at him she was still rubbing her cheek against his palm like a cat, "Because I wanted you to have my babies." He said and enjoyed seeing her flinch and gawk from surprise as her already big eyes widened even further.

  "Humph." Elena blushed so hard before looking away then added in a mosquito-like voice : "Who'd want to have your babies? Stinky fellow... So annoying!" But once again her reaction wasn't convincing at all.

  "Hahahahaha..." Finally Bryan couldn't handle it and started ughing which frustrated and embarrassed Elena quite a lot, "Alright, alright, I'll say it. Besides me really, really, really wanting you to have my babies which we're certainly going to work on tonight for sure... The other reason is because I can trust you to manage everything in my pce." After saying that he quickly added : "Also because I know you're the type of person who wouldn't shy away from giving me good advice at the right time, and even more so in the time I'm making bad decisions. Let's not forget how brilliant your mind really is to begin with, which makes you more than capable of leading and commanding everyone... including me of course!"

  Elena stared at him for a long while and kept her silence before opening her mouth to say : "You really trust me this much?" Even she was doubting if she really is worthy of his confidence and highly-elevated praise.

  "Humph." Bryan pinched her blushed cheek gently, "You can't even imagine how much faith I have in you because... You're my woman." Then leaned to kiss her after saying that.

  *Snort*

  "W-who's your woman? I didn't agree to that!" Elena pinched his cheek hard while saying that after he took advantage of her once again.

  Bryan's expression didn't even change while looking at the reflection of his face in Elena's big eyes, "Elena," He called while holding the hand she was using to punish him with then moved it towards his mouth and gave it a gentle kiss on the knuckle before saying : "Certainly you must know what type of man I am by now," He sounded like he has all the confidence in the world, "If I want something I do everything in my power to take it... If I don't feel like having it then I wouldn't give it a second look until the moment I breath my st." Then he added while tightening his hold on her hands a tiny little bit more : "You're one of the rare few women I id eyes on in this world and thought... I really want that."

  Elena was in a daze by his bold, forthright, and honest confession because it came straight from the heart.

  It made Elena's heart dance on the softest melodies of passion and her cheeks felt hot while her body felt like jelly but there between her legs she could really feel herself going wet!

  'Unfair! This is unfair! Where was this guy ten to fifteen years ago?' Elena thought while feeling like crying tears to all gods and deities!

  Thankfully Linda arrived with a tray full of ptes which saved Elena from being unable to handle Bryan's relentless attempts to have her jump back in his p while loudly decring total and complete surrender to him.

  "Hahaha... You're here Brian!" Alex arrived with two more trays with an array of different ptes and Linda did the waiter's job of arranging the table for the only two guests in their yet to open restaurant.

  Bryan looked at the husband and teased, "I've hugged your wife today, don't you want to defend your honor Alex?"

  Linda giggled once she saw Alex look at her as if asking : "Did he touch anywhere he shouldn't touch?" while having an ugly expression on his face.

  "Haha... Hahaha... N-no need, Bryan is family after all." Alex said while scratching the back of his head before realizing something and adding : "Not to mention Linda only has me in her heart and you're nothing but a little brother in her eyes so it's alright... I guess."

  "Bfft..." Elena covered her mouth and ughed while thinking to herself : 'I wonder what expression this poor fellow would have right now if I told him that less than an hour ago I was also Bryan's big sister! Fortunately what he said was true... He only goes after what he wants and anything else doesn't even matter even if life is offering it to him for free on a silver ptter, this Linda is quite the catch but his eyes seem lifeless when they fall on her yet they instantly regain light once they look my way. So unfair... But it's making me so excited.'

  "Alright you two better stop fooling around, the food is getting cold." Linda hugged Alex's arm to her chest and dragged him away before looking towards Elena while smiling beautifully in such a welcoming way then added : "Quickly dig in Elena, I hope you enjoy Alex's cooking."

  Bryan got up and took his chair then put it right next to Elena's while giving her such a mischievous and spoilt smile as he took his seat, "I'm so looking forward for the dessert."

  *Tsk*

  Elena clicked her tongue again then rolled her eyes at him before threatening him with the fork as if saying : "Don't you dare try and do anything funny!" then used it to try one of the dishes and her eyes immediately lit up once she chewed and got a good taste of the meat.

  "Yummy! So yummy! This is amazing!" Elena said after swallowing it.

  "I'm so happy you liked, here try that one." Bryan used the tip of the napkin to help Elena wipe the corner of her mouth after giving her that sample and she hid her face on his shoulder once she noticed her bodyguard stealing a gnce at her while smiling.

  The meal peacefully continued and Elena ate a lot more than she usually does in a regur meal but the food was extremely delicious she just couldn't resist trying every single dish Alex and Linda offered them which left her small belly a bit rounded and this annoying fellow next to her noticed it and dared to use his hand to rub it gently while muttering : "Can't wait for our first!" Which caused Elena to be unable to hold herself from giving him a bite on his shoulder but he didn't even flinch and just patted her head while saying : "Not so hard honey, I won't kiss you if you have no teeth!" It annoyed Elena so much and she bit him harder this time but the end result was her teeth starting to hurt and Bryan eating like nothing is happening while looking at her from time to time to check if her teeth would really fall.

  'This is unfair! Ouch... Using my teeth was a bad idea, maybe try with steel pliers next time!' Elena thought while wincing from pain as she touched her incisors.

  Bryan gave her a quick hug and kept patting her head then kissed her cheek while saying : "It's going to hurt me if you use your teeth."

  Elena gred at him once she saw his teasing smile before looking away while puffing her cheek, "So annoying! I'm ignoring you."

  "Hahahaha..." Bryan couldn't hold it and ughed until tears escaped the corner of his eyes.
