In His Eyes Part 3

Florian Munteanu X Reader

Part 1, Part-2

The car ride to the restaurant was comfortable as you both talked and got to know each other a little more. You started to become slightly nervous once Florian parked the car and opened your side. You didn’t know if you were ready to face other people just yet. You wanted to get back into the car into your cocoon with Florian. Sensing your hesitation Florian grabbed your hand as you both walked to the restaurant. You knew you would have stares due to the size difference between you two and you were right as people looked at you both as the hostess escorted you to your table. You tried your best to smile as Florian pulled the chair back for you. You gracefully scooted the chair in as Florian made his way to the other side of the table and sat down. You zoned everyone around you out and focused on Florian and the menu. Some giggles cause you to snap out of your zone and you could not help but look in the direction it was coming from. Sure, enough the table was looking over at you and Florian. You were hoping people would not be so bold as to mock you but as you notice the waiter hand them another round of whatever they were drinking that hope was lost. People were stupid and mean when they drunk to much. Tonight, would be no different.

“I heard their steak and lobster is really delicious.” Florian put down the menu and looked at you.

“I think I will just have a salad.” You told him in disappointment as you sat the menu down.

“Like hell you are. None of that diet shit when you are with me.”

You let a small smile grace your lips as you picked the menu back up. With Flo’s green eyes gazing at you, you looked over the menu again.

“Have you decided already?” You peeked up at him. He nodded at you. He told you what he had picked out and after a few moments you decided on steak as well.

“I need you to relax.” Florian told you after the waiter left with your order. You took a large gulp of your red wine to calm your nerves. Florian reached across the table and took your hand. “Are you going to relax and enjoy the evening with me?”

“Yes.” You whispered when you heard the table erupt in laughter. Your body tensed again. Florian looked over with a frown on his face. Seeing the look on his face the table hushed their laughter.

“They are laughing at me. Us.”

You gasped when Florian got up from the table.

“Florian….no!” You called after him as he headed straight for the table. You don’t know what he said but he got his point across in a few short words. There was no shouting or physical fighting. The look on their faces while Florian walked back to the table filled you with such pride. He just did that. He stood up for you.

“Now, can we enjoy our evening?” Florian took a sip of his wine.

“What did you say?” You asked filled with curiosity.

“Don’t worry about that. Let’s enjoy our evening. Now tell me more about you.” Florian settled back as you filled his request. You forgot all about your surroundings as you and Florian ate and drunk your wine. It had been such a long time since you had such a good time on a date. It was a long time that you felt this relax on a date. The food was good, the wine was good, and your date was devastating handsome. He even had the personality to match his good looks.  Before you even realize it, the waiter was handing you menus for desserts.

“These desserts you might fine more appealing ma’am.”

The waiter told you as he flipped over your menu to show you a page of desserts. As you looked at the desserts your heart sunken as you realized the page was for low calorie desserts. You sighed with disgust as you flipped the pages back to the regular desserts with irritation. Florian felt the change in your mood.

“What’s wrong?” He asked looking at you, then the waiter and back at you.

“Nothing. I will take the triple chocolate cake please.” You snap the menu shut and handed to the waiter.

“Are you sure?” The waiter asks.

“Yes. I’m sure.” You snapped rolling your eyes. Florian gave his dessert order and asked again what was wrong.

“Nothing.” You lied. You did not want further embarrassment about your weight to hinder the evening.

“What did the waiter do?”

“Nothing Flo. Just let it go.”

“No, I won’t if he upset you. Look at me.”

You slowly looked into his green eyes.

“Talk to me.”

“Flo can we not. We are having a great time.”

“Ok. As you wish.” It took every ounce of willpower for Florian to let it go but he did not want to upset you any further.

----------------------------------------------------- 

On the way out, the restaurant you ignored the stares as Florian took your hand. He was so sweet. You heard whispers and giggles but lifted your head high as you pasted each table. On the way out, the door paparazzi were waiting. They must have got wind that Florian was in the restaurant. Of course, it would be rude ass TMZ. They shouted questions at Florian and he was polite enough to answer.

“So big girls around the world got a chance with you Florian?” One of the cameramen shouted at him. The camera zoomed in on you and you stopped in your tracks. You felt as if a panic attack was about to come on. Florian gave the camera a death glare as he wrapped his arm around your waist.

“Don’t be disrespectful.” He snapped. He ignored the rest of the questions as he escorted you to the car. The flashes of cameras were giving you a headache. You could just imagine what TMZ would put as a headline. On the drive back, Florian tried to soothe you as he knew you were upset but you were in your own thoughts and quiet most of the ride back.

“Can I come in?” Florian asked when you reached your door. You opened your door and let him in. You shut the door and leaned against the door looking at him standing in front of you.

“Did you have a good time despite a few assholes?” Florian walked up to you resting his hands on your hips.

“Yes, I did but you will have to deal with close minded people like that if you date me.”

“What do you mean ‘if’ I am dating you.” His hands rubbed your hips. Florian leaned his forehand against yours.

“I don’t know Flo. You might want to rethink this.” You whispered.

Florian chuckled as his fingers caressed your cheek.

“You think your weight scares me.”

“Does it?” You looked up in his eyes. Florian softly kissed your lips before answering.

“No.” Florian grabbed you by the ass and lifted you up with ease.

“Oh my God!” You instinctively wrapped your legs around his waist and your arms behind his neck. “Flo put me down!”

“I got you. I’m not scared of your size. I hope I can really prove that to you one day.”  

Florian took his time carrying you to your kitchen and sitting you on the counter. He did not even break a sweat and his breathing was steady. You found your hands rubbing up and down his muscular arms.

“I want you to stop worrying about your weight when you are with me. It is not a factor as to why I want to spend time with you and get to know you more. It is not a factor in the fact that I want to take you to your bedroom and make love to you all night.”

Your breath hitch at his confession. Your fingers played in his beard before tracing his lips. He took your hand and kissed your palm.

“I’ve been looking at how beautiful you look all night. The way those jeans hugs your hips and ass. From the moment I laid eyes on you I knew I had to get to know you.” Florian leaned over and nipped your ear causing you to shudder.

“I am glad I ran into you at that restaurant.” He whispered in your ear. His nips lowered to your neck and turned to soft kisses and licks.  You leaned your head back giving him better access to your neck and Florian devoured your neck before taking over your lips. Your legs tighten around him as he scooted you up to him. You gasped when you felt how hard he was.

“You see how bad I want you?”

“Yes.” You croaked out. Florian hand traveled to your neck and lightly squeezed.

“I hope this is not to forward but I can’t wait to see your face when you come for me and feel you around my cock.”

“Oh my God.” You whispered as heat pounded your body. Just the thought was sending you into overdrive.

You were startled when Florian’s phone rung. He chuckled at how easily you were startled. He pulled away and looked at his phone frowning.

“I got to go beautiful.” He looked up at you lust in his eyes. “Can I see you tomorrow?” He easily lifted you off the counter.

“Yes. I look forward to it.”

“So, do I.” Florian landed a passionate kiss on your lips before he left your apartment. You squealed with delight and happiness!!

You were about to call Anna when you receive a text alert from her to check TMZ. Oh no.

You checked TMZ’s site on your phone and there were pictures of you and Florian. The first thing you checked was your looks in the pics and you did not look bad. However, the camera was not forgiving of your size.

 “Buff actor on date with woman twice his size.”

 You frowned at the headline. You exited out the page without reading the article. You did not need anything else ruining your night. You received another text.

 Told you.

 It read with a link to the TMZ article.

 Nothing good could come out of you dating him except embarrassment.

 “Fuck you Renee!” You shouted to your phone before throwing it on the couch. You fought back the tears as best as you could. You needed a drink.
