"When you love what you have, you have everything you need."

"Are we near?" I ask, nervously stumbling as I hold unto Ren tightly. "Yes." My eyes were covered with a blindfold. I know, this was scary. Imagine walking in complete darkness with no clue where you are headed.

We stop. I hear shuffling and felt Ren tug at the knot behind my head. Removing the blindfold, he smiles at me. Turning me over to see the surprise, I gasp. "This is...wow." I was at a lost of words.

The rooftop balcony was decorated with string lights. There was a small table for two in the middle, a bottle of champagne resting on the middle. There was also a grill waiting at the side. I walk closer to the balcony, watching as the city lights twinkle with so much color.

"It's beautiful." I say, looking at the sky above. The moon was full and the stars were visible. I turn to look at Ren who was pulling out a chair for me to sit. "Here."

I flash him a grateful smile as I sit down. "What would you like to eat?" He asks, putting on an apron. I prop an arm on the table, resting my head on it. "I'm okay with anything."

He turns around and takes out some meat before placing them on the grill. The sizzling sound of the meat makes my mouth water. He places some chopped potatoes and asparagus in a small pan, seasoning them with spices. Wrapping the pan in foil, he nestles them in between the hot coal.

"Do you want me to help with anything?" I ask. He shakes his head. "No need. I'm going to pamper you today, princess." He says, smiling as he flips the meat. My cheeks heat up in response. He sees my reaction and chuckles. "You're cute when you blush."

This sentence made my cheeks heat up even more.

He takes two plates and places some on each. Using tongs to take out the pan, he puts a generous amount of veggies on both plates.

"Medium rare steak with potatoes and asparagus, just the way you like it." He says, proudly placing the plate in front of me. He remembers. "Thank you." I smile, taking a bite of the delicious food. He pops open the bottle of champagne, pouring the liquid in my flute.

After finishing up the meal, he connects his phone to the bluetooth speakers. The song lover begins to play.

"May I have this dance?" He asks, bowing before extending his hand. I take his hand as he whisks me away. Slowly putting his hands on my waist, I wrap my hands around his neck as I stare at him. We move slowly, taking small steps. His face looks almost ethereal under the soft moonlight.

We leave the Christmas lights until January

This is our place we make the rules

"Is this romantic?" He asks. "A candlelight dinner underneath the stars and a dance." Not breaking our stare, my lips curl up into a smile. "Yes, it's not just romantic. It's magical."

"You'll be my princess and I'll be your knight in shining armor." He chuckles softly. "How about you be my dashing prince instead?" I tease. "I can be whatever you want me to be, darling." He says before twirling me around.

And there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you dear

Have I known you twenty seconds or twenty years?

"Even if I want you to be a ogre?" I ask, giggling softly. "Of course." He smiles widely, "I'll be strong, awesome and green." I laugh at his comment as we sway to the rhythm. "As long as you are by my side, I'll be fine." He says.

Can I go where you go?

Can we always be this close?

Forever and forever

And ah

He gives me a small spin, holding both of my hands after. "In all honesty" I mutter softly, "I don't need you to be a dashing prince or a knight in shining armor. You being you is enough." He smiles at me as I watched his eyes twinkle.

"Really?"

Take me out

And take me home

"Maddie." He says, eyes locking to mine. "Hm?" I hum, intertwining my fingers with his. "Thank you." He whsipers softly. "For not forgetting me." My heart flutters at his statement. I give him a small smile.

"I don't think I will be able to anyway."

You're my my my

Lover

His eyes flicker from my lips then back up again. "May I?" My heart pounds furiously in my chest. I nod slowly as I watch him grow closer, distance between each other becoming smaller and smaller before he presses his lips against mine. The kiss was short but sweet. I felt myself melt at his touch, my insides burning like fire.

He pulls away, engulfing me in a warm hug. The rest of the night was spent dancing underneath the stars with the moon as our light, a moment to remember forever.
