LIFE BEGINS AT 40

BRANDON

After that morning, I met David to my office then discuss something important. We agreed everything that was on my plan. He said he would be doing it and focus everything I wanted in mind. I trusted him all the details that is why I went back earlier to Erine's place.

I even did some groceries with Dean and decided to cook for her too. We had a fine dinner last night that we ended up again in bed.

I got up early around six in the morning and Erine already got up. I washed up in the bathroom before going down in the kitchen for breakfast.

I found her preparing the table and seeing her done all the cooking. She looked at me as I enter the kitchen.

"Hi, good morning, come and have a sit." She said and I walked towards her then kissed her cheeks.

I poured some coffee in my mug and put some foods in my plate. I started eating while looking at her who is still busy preparing some food for Dean.

"Baby, come here and join me." I said and she sat beside me. "Here, have some." I put her some foods to her plate.

"Thank you."

After breakfast, I got a message from David that everything settled, Erine is with me in my car going to work.

We reached my establishments. I dropped Erine to the coffee shop and I went straight to the club parking lot.

I was nervous as I enter inside the club. David met me as I walked in. "Boss, everything is ready and all you have to do is text.

I nodded and patted his shoulder. I took out my phone; send a text then a reply okay as I read it. I smiled and I positioned myself to be ready.

Five minutes later, the door opens, I see her but she cannot see me. "Hello." She said until the one light on focus on me in the dance floor then she walked towards me when the music plays "Love of a Lifetime" by Firehouse. I grabbed her hands and we danced. We were silence looking at each other's eyes then her head leaned closer to my chest feeling the song.

???? 'I guess the time was right for us to say

We'd take our time and live our lives together day by day

We know our dreams can all come true

With love that we can share

With you I never wonder, will you be there for me

With you I never wonder, you're the right one for me

I finally found the love of a lifetime

A love to last my whole life through

I finally found the love of a lifetime

Forever in my heart, I finally found the love of a lifetime. ????

Before the song ends, I gently pushed her body away from me. She looks confused. I kneel down on my knee then said, "Will you marry me, Erine Chu?

She covered her mouth with both hands in shocked then tears were flowing from her eyes. She nodded many times before I heard her say yes.

Then she hugs me tight and I still hear her sobbing. I smiled.
