February 14

Wearing a long sleeved camouflage backless dress, Brielle stared at herself in the mirror with a slight smile on her face. Holding her nude heels in her left hand, she lifted her hand up to move a strand of her hair out of her face.

Today is Valentine's Day and Brielle couldn't be more excited about her and Killian's plans for today. He already surprised her with her apartment decorated in beautiful roses and beautiful hand written letters from him. She came back from his place to take a shower and get ready for their date when she walked into the beautiful display. Brielle couldn't even hold her tears in and immediately called Killian, thanking him repeatedly.

After knowing Killian for so long, Brielle came to realize that her boyfriend's love language is most definitely gift giving. He loves to see Brielle's eyes light up at every gift. No one has ever treated her such like a princess or even queen than like Killian. She adores him with every fiber in her being. Even though she never asked for the gifts, she always cherishes them; wasting no time in showering Killian in kisses and thank yous.

"Come in" Brielle says as someone knocks on the door. The door opened and Killian walked inside looking breathtaking in his suit. He walked over to Brielle and smiled down at her.

"Hey baby" He leans down to kiss Brielle but only receives a peck. Pulling away with a small forehead, He opened his mouth to speak but she cut him off. "I have lipstick on baby."

Smoothing out the collar of his suit, Brielle gently pat Killian's chest and smiled up at him. "You look handsome" She comments making Killian smirk lowly.

"You look absolutely gorgeous princess" Blushing, she turns around to grab her clutch. "Are you going to tell me where we are going?" She asks him to which Killian shakes his head no.

"You will have to wait and find out beautiful"
Holding out his hand, Brielle slides hers in his and he leads her out of the room.

Brielle looked around her in awe. "Killian baby this is amazing" She says to her boyfriend who only smiles at her. After driving them for a hour, Killian pulled up to a dock where they were greeted with a beautifully decorated yacht.

She couldn't stop smiling as he lead her onto the boat and gave her a tour of the place. "Only the best for my baby" He tells her as he pulls her chair out for her. She thanks him and takes a seat before he takes his.

Killian is presented with a glass of french wine making Brielle raise an eyebrow at her. He nods his head at her side of the table and Brielle is greeted with a glass of sparking apple cider, her favorite.

Brielle grins and takes a sip of the delicious drink. "Mm this is outstanding" She comments almost moaning at the taste. She looks at Killian who was already staring at her.

She sets her glass down and leans her elbow on the table, resting her chin in the palm of her hand. "So tell me" She pauses and tilts her head with a gentle smile. "Where's the real Killian?"

"What do you mean my love"

She simply shrugs her shoulders and gestures around the both of them. "This seems too nice and sweet of you"

Killian leans forward with a small smirk. "Are you saying I'm not nice?" He asks with a sight raise of his eyebrow. Brielle immediately shakes her head no and opens her mouth to disagree.

"N—No!" She laughs nervously and looks away from him. "I just mean that you don't seem like the guy to do romantic gestures likes this." She says truthfully.

"What kind of guy do I seem like then?"

"You seem like the guy who would be always angry and yelling at people." She pauses and leans back in her seat. "When I first met you, all you did was stare and glare. You gave off get the fuck away from me vibes but now" Brielle smiles as she looks at Killian and rubs her pregnant belly.

"Now what?" He asks her as the waiter comes over with their plates. He places the two covered plates on the table before smiling at the two of the them and takes his leave. "How do I seem?"

"Breathtakingly perfect"

Brielle Mae smiles warmly at Killian to which he returns and stretches his hand for hers. She slides her hand in his and Killian rubs his thumb against the back of her hand. "You have shown me more things that I can count; how to love, how to be loved"

"I love you Killian. I think I always have, since the moment I crashed into you." She pauses and clears her throat as she looks away. "But being in the hospital and seeing you passed out in that fire gave me a lot to think about"

Curious and anxious, Killian's brows frown and he has the feeling he wasn't going to like what she says next. Brielle pulls her hand away from him and takes a sip of her wine. "When you went to go see what was wrong, you had a gun"

Fuck Killian thought as he silently groans. "I had a feeling this was going to be brought up sooner than later" He tells her, not looking at her in the eye.

"You barely tell me anything about you, your past, your job. I feel like I barely know you" She sighs and looks down at her lap. "And the fact that I didn't even know you had a gun in there"

"It's just for protection"

Growing frustrated, Brielle shakes her head. "It doesn't matter why you have it. What matters is the fact that I didn't know you had it. I don't know you Killian"

"Yes you do" Standing up, Killian takes Brielle's hand and pulls her close. "I'm your boyfriend"

"That's not what I mean and you know it." Pulling away from him, Brielle scoffs and rolls her eyes. "I'm tired of all of this secrecy Killian. I'm not going to judge you if that's what you think. I just want to know my boyfriend. How am I suppose to love someone I hardly know?"

Turning away, Brielle walked away angrily. She desperately wanted to walk off of this yacht but the boat was already leaving the dock, leaving Brielle to just roam the yacht with thoughts circling her head.
