After getting drenched in the pouring rain, Mia wasn't too keen on returning to the office, especially since everyone had seen that morphed video of her. However, Sebastian didn't want Mia to have to hide from anyone.

He took her back to the office, soaked to the bone, ready to tell everyone that the video they had seen wasn't the truth. Only, he never had to, everyone was already in support of Mia and when she came to the office, they all cheered for her.

Everyone was rooting for Sebastian and Mia, getting sick of his longing looks for her, that she never seem to notice before. They all had come to love Mia and were happy for the couple, and a lot more relieved that they were finally a couple.

Some time had passed and Sophie had officially come back to work as Sebastian's assistant. She left no moment to tease him about missing Mia and in turn, Sebastian left no moment to tease her about Mia doing a better job than her.

The start of their relationship had been so sudden and not long after, there had been the drama in the office, Sebastian and Mia realised that had still yet to go on an official date.

They seemed of have neglected that aspect of their relationship, instead skipping to the stage were they were just content and happy at where they were.

It was quite humorous to the both of them that, without going a date, Mia had essentially become his girlfriend, they had shared their first kiss and had many more after, and Sebastian had confessed his love for her.

Sebastian then decided that they needed to fix this little detail, now that things were good and probably the 'perfect moment' he had been waiting for.

He knew what he wanted to do for their first date, but was at a bit of a loss on how to ask Mia out. He knew she'd say yes, but despite that, he had to ask her.

When he finally asked...it was exactly as spectacular as he'd hoped for it to be.

It happed during a random day in the week, when Mia had come to his office, to ask him if he wanted to grab some lunch together.

Sebastian immediately agreed, but just before they left, he turned to her and asked, 'if she was free on the weekend, would she go on a date with him?'

Mia was left stunned at his question, since it was so abrupt, but this was Sebastian, and of course he'd be awkward about it. She smiled and happily accepted anyway, after which he nodded too, and they went for their lunch together.

It really wasn't an extravagant proposal, but Sebastian knew he would really do better for the date he had planned.

Sebastian felt so incredibly nervous as he walked up towards Mia's flat, to pick her up for the date. He didn't really know why he was so anxious, since Mia was already his girl, but with every step further, he felt like a fourteen-year-old boy, going on his first ever date.

He stood outside her flat door, flowers in hand, and took a deep breath.

At this point, his heart could leap out of his chest and knock on the door for him. He wouldn't be all that surprised if that would happen.

Another deep breath, and Sebastian knocked on the door.

He expected to see Mia's face when the door finally creaked open, but was instead met with someone else's face.

It was Chloe who opened the door for him, a polite smile on her face as she did.

"Hello," she greeted.

"Um, hi," Sebastian replied rather nervously.

Chloe just smiled and gestured for him to come inside the flat, holding the door open wider.

This was the first time he was ever seeing the inside of Mia's flat, her home, and yet he barely had enough time to look around, when someone spoke up.

"So you're the famous, Sebastian?"

He turned to the side and saw a brunette glaring at him. Despite seeing her for the first time, Sebastian immediately recognised the voice of Nicole.

Mia had always wanted for him to meet her two best friends. She held them in high-regard, since they were basically family. Somehow, they'd never really had the chance to meet properly before, and in all honestly, Sebastian was a little afraid. However, now he was getting that chance.

"I guess," Sebastian replied, awkward.

He stood frozen, even as Nicole took a step towards him.

"You're a real piece of shit for what you did," Nicole said and Sebastian was well aware of what she was talking about, and it was still something that he regretted.

"Nicole," Chloe said her name in a scolding tone, much like a mother does.

Sebastian glanced towards Chloe, and gave her smile, which stopped her from saying anything to Nicole. He then looked towards the feisty brunette.

"No, she's right," he stated and it shocked both Chloe and Nicole that he was agreeing with her. "I was a piece of shit and much more."

Nicole then smugly grinned.

"Damn right," she said, causing Chloe to shake her head.

Sebastian didn't mind her words, she had said nothing wrong in his opinion. He'd done something wrong, and knew that now. He had grown up since the, but his actions would still stay with him, and he'd regret it forever.

"So you're here to pick her up for the date?" Nicole then asked.

He couldn't help the way his lips tug upwards into a smile. Just the thought of taking Mia out on a date, was one that made him happy, tugging at those damn heartstrings.

"Yes. Is she ready?" Sebastian asked politely, his eyes looking around, searching for Mia.

"She will be. In the meantime, you can sit with us," Chloe smiled at him, and gestured towards the sofa.

Sebastian nodded politely, whilst Nicole rolled her eyes at her 'overly polite friend'.

The three of them then took a seat, with Sebastian sitting opposite Nicole and Chloe.

"So what are your intentions with our, Mia?" Nicole questioned Sebastian, crossing her legs, trying her best to seem intimidating.

"What?" He asked in confusion, unsure if he'd even heard the question right.

"Seriously, Nicole?" Chloe turned to her.

Nicole was suddenly trying to seem frightening, putting on her 'resting bitch face', as she stared down Sebastian.

It was as if they were having stand off, and Nicole was waiting for him to flinch, but Sebastian was holding his own.

Nicole then turned to Chloe. "What?" She shrugged, and then pulled Chloe closer to whisper, "Aaron's not here, neither are her parents, someone's got to do the whole grilling routine".

A fact about Nicole, was that she wasn't exactly the best person to whisper, which meant that Sebastian had heard her words. But, it made him smile to know how much her friends cared for her and looked out for her. If anything, he felt grateful.

"I'm just going to go and check on Mia," Chloe then said.

Sebastian couldn't help but crane his neck in the direction that Chloe had just walked off in, hoping to catch a slight glimpse of Mia, but was disappointed when he got nothing.

"So, what are your intentions?" Nicole asked him, once again, snapping him out of his lovesick ways.

Clearing his throat, he then spoke up. "Mia, is the love of my life. I care about her deeply. I want to take her out on a date tonight, and treat her as special as she is."

Nicole paused for dramatic effect, staring him down to see if he flinches, and when he didn't, she nodded.

"Good answer," she then said, approving of his words.

"Thank you," Sebastian replied.

Nicole's glare was making him feel slightly nervous. He shouldn't be intimidated by her at all, and yet there was something about the girl and her death-look, that put him on edge.

"We want her back by ten and no funny business," Nicole warned him, with a pointed finger.

"You have my word," Sebastian nodded, drawing an 'x' over his heart with his finger, as a gesture of a promise.

However, convincing Nicole wasn't that easy. "Well, that means shit all to me," she said. "You make her cry and I will fuck you up, are we clear?" She threatened him.

Sebastian held back from smiling. It wasn't that he didn't believe her, she seemed determined. There was no question about it, if he did anything to upset Mia, she'd kill him. He believed that. He only wanted to smile, because he found it sweet.

"Yes. Crystal," he then replied, in confirmation.

During Sebastian's grilling by Nicole, Mia was getting herself ready.

She was incredibly anxious for the date, although at the same time felt silly, since Sebastian had already confessed his love for her. However, that feeling of a first date with someone wasn't one to just go away.

The one thing that she wasn't all too happy about, was that Sebastian had given her no clue on how to dress for the evening.

Mia hoped that a simple and casual should be okay. She wore a knee-length, lacy, pale blue summer dress, with flats and kept her hair in her natural curls, mainly because Sebastian loved them. She kept her glasses on, since for some reason he had instructed her to do so, and she didn't refuse since she hated wearing contacts anyway.

"You look great," Chloe told her, as Mia glanced in the mirror one more time.

She smiled at her, before taking a deep breath once more, and then walking out her room, to head to the living room, where she knew Sebastian was waiting for her.

As soon as she stepped into the room, his eyes were on her. Only her.

A wide smile came over his lips, with her every step. He hadn't even registered his own movements, as he stood up from the sofa and began to walk towards her.

Mia couldn't help but notice how handsome Sebastian looked, her eyes unwavering from his form as he stepped towards her.

The simple white shirt he wore, was always a favourite of her. It was basic, and she'd seen it on him at work, but the way he wore it. It was perfect. He even wore dark-washed, blue jeans. Jeans! Her man was always so formal, but for her, he wore the causal item clothing. The grey overcoat, it just outlined his broad chest further, even his toned arms. His brown hair, tousled, yet styled right.

He looked swoon-worthy.

"Hi," Mia smiled shyly.

For a moment, Sebastian was left speechless by just looking at her.

She had worn blue, his favourite colour. He didn't know if she'd worn it on purpose, but it made him happy that she did. The dress seemed as if it were made for her, falling so perfectly down her curves, and ended halfway at her gorgeous legs. He loved that she kept her curls open and free. Her hair like this, it meant he could tangle his fingers within them, as he pulled her in for a kiss...which he undoubtedly would. Even her glasses. He felt as if, she'd gotten ready with him on her mind, and he loved it.

Sebastian then realised he had to say something, since Mia had greeted him, only when he opened his mouth, but couldn't even find the right words to justify how beautiful she looked.

"Hi. Wow. You look...breathtaking," he managed to get out.

He then then gave Mia the flowers he brought with him. White Calla lilies. Her favourite.

"Thank you," Mia replied and a slight blush creeped onto her cheeks, a sight that made Sebastian soar.

Nicole cleared her throat and the couple remembered they weren't alone.

Mia then glanced at Chloe, and then Nicole, before she looked to Sebastian, with a nervous expression.

"They didn't scare you did they?" She asked, mostly referring to Nicole, since she knew exactly what her best friend was like, even if she loved her for it.

Nicole then innocently smiled. "Us? Of course not. We were angels. Right, Seb?" She asked him.

He felt as if he were being put on the spot, with Nicole's devil-like smile. She looked like a bit of a psycho, and there was no doubt in Sebastian's mind, that if he answered wrong, something bad may happen to him.

"Right," he then replied unsurely, stretching out the word as he said it.

Mia smiled and shook her head. The look on his face was obvious enough that Nicole had tried to scare him.

Sebastian then looked towards Mia. "Should we go?" He asked her.

She instantly nodded, a sense of giddiness within her, as she was so excited to go on her first date with him.

Mia turned towards Chloe, handing over the flowers, to place safely into a vase. She then grabbed her own coat, the red long coat she'd worn that time she first bumped into Sebastian in the lift.

"Have fun, Mia. Take care," Chloe said as the couple walked out. "Have fun, babe," Nicole said sweetly, and when the two turned back, she pointed at Sebastian. "And you, don't have too much fun," she warned him, to which Mia just giggled.

Hand-in-hand, the couple then made their way towards Sebastian's car, as he held the door open for her, waiting until Mia was safely seated, before heading over towards the driver's seat.

As soon as she sat down, her curiosity was starting to peak.

"So, where are we going?" She asked.

Sebastian couldn't help but chuckle at her eagerness.

"It's a surprise," he replied, causing Mia to pout.

He was intent on keeping the whole date a secret, until the very last moment.

For the entire drive, Mia had sat in the car with an animated expression on her face. It was endearing for Sebastian to see her childlike excitement for what he had planned. He just hoped that she would like it.

A short while later, the pair had finally reached their destination.

Mia had begun to see a lot of lights, even when the car neared the venue. Although, she was a little confused, since she had assumed that Sebastian would take her to a fancy restaurant.

Instead, he held her hand and led her towards something a whole lot better.

"This is...amazing," Mia breathed out, as she saw the sight in front of her, bright lights, rides and best of all churros.

Sebastian had brought her to a funfair, for their first date together.

He had spent a long time thinking and planning, trying to come up with an idea that Mia would love, and definitely not expect from him. He then decided to go with his gut, and brought her to a place he thought would truly make her happy.

"But I thought we were going to dinner?" Mia asked, turning towards him.

"We will, later. I just wanted to turn back time," Sebastian smiled at her.

"What do you mean?" Mia asked in confusion.

Gently taking one of her hands, Sebastian brought it to his lips, and placed a gentle kiss upon them, which caused Mia to blush.

"I wish I wasn't such a massive twat back in high school, and saw you for the amazing, incredible person you are," he said, regretfully. "So, I wanted to turn back time and give you a date, like I probably would've in high school."

Mia's heart warmed at his gesture.

She didn't need Sebastian to make amends for the past, just being with her, loving and trusting her was more than enough.

However, Sebastian wasn't so easy on himself, not after how he behaved. He was going to fulfil his promise to himself, to always make Mia realise how special she truly is.

"If only I had my braces, this would be more like high-school," Mia then joked, as the pair walk into the fair, hand in hand.

"I like you with or without. Plus, it's these glasses that really do it for me," Sebastian said, wiggling his eyebrows in a suggestive manner, which made Mia realise why he insisted on her always wearing them.

"Perv," Mia gasped, but not being able to contain her laughter.

After a while, both Sebastian and Mia had been on multiple rides and had ate some churros drenched in chocolate. They were enjoying the travel back in time, like they were just a pair of high-school kids on their first date, rather than a grown-up couple.

"Aww, look at that teddy bear," Mia pointed towards a big white bear, with a blue bow around its' neck, hung at the front of one of the games stands.

Seeing her excitement towards it, not unlike a little child's, Sebastian smiled.

"You want it?" He asked her.

Despite the fact that she did want it, Mia innocently shook her head, even though her face immediately gave her away.

"Come on," Sebastian chuckled, tugging her hand towards the stall.

After a few tries, he managed to win the bear for Mia. As soon as it was in her arms, she immediately hugged it tight, wrapping her arms around it securely and then tiptoed to give Sebastian a kiss, which he happily accepted.

"What next?" Sebastian then asked.

Mia looked around for a moment and then her eyes spotted the one ride, she had always loved.

"The Ferris wheel!" she shouted, earning a look from some people nearby.

Not caring about then others, she held Sebastian's hand and eagerly tugged him towards the ride.

"Come on!" She urged him towards the line for the ride.

After a brief moment of waiting in a queue, the pair were seated in one of the carriages, with Mia buzzing with excitement as the wheel started turning.

Sebastian however, wasn't all too happy.

"What are you doing?" Mia turned to ask him with amusement, noticing he was struggling with the bear that was placed in between them.

"Moving the damn bear from between us," he said in annoyance.

He shoved the bear to the other side of him, as he sat closer to Mia, wrapping an arm around her shoulders.

"Can't believe I'm jealous of a fucking teddy," Sebastian muttered and Mia couldn't help but laugh at him.

She gently placed her hand on his cheek and turned his face towards her, his pouted expression remaining on his face.

"You know I like you more," she whispered.

Sebastian just grinned like a child on Christmas morning.

"Really?" he asked and leaned closer towards Mia.

"Really, really," Mia mumbled and Sebastian placed his lips on hers.

Their carriage had just reached the top peak of the ferris wheel, however neither of them had noticed, too lost in their kiss, and only the bear had the chance of seeing the view from the top.

At the end of the night, Sebastian, like a gentleman, had dropped Mia to the door of her flat.

"Thank you for the date," Mia said, her back leaning against the door, whilst Sebastian gently brushed away a few curls from her face.

"You're welcome. I can't wait to go on so many more with you," he smiled.

Just the idea of spending more days and nights like this with Mia, filled Sebastian with joy. He'd waited for a long time to do this, and now that he was finally able to take her out on dates, the feeling was indescribable.

"A little presumptuous, aren't we?" Mia joked.

Sebastian gave her a boyish grin in return.

"Well, I can't wait to cuddle with my teddy now," Mia said, squeezing the bear tightly in her arms and burying her face in its' fur.

Sebastian just glared at the bear.

"Lucky son of a bitch," he muttered, staring the bear down, like the inanimate object was his love rival.

"Goodnight, Sebastian," Mia then said.

Before she could turn and open her door, Sebastian pulled her close towards him, placing his hands on her waist.

"Not so fast, love," he whispered an inch away from her lips, before leaning in and closing that small gap between them.

He unable to get enough of her.

Before the kiss could last any longer, the flat door was abruptly opened behind Mia, startling the pair. "And that's enough," Nicole said, pulling Mia in.
