SMILE :)

He wore a black button-down shirt, with crisp black pants and my all-time favorite black polish shoes. He completed his look with a grayish thick textured coat, which of course I didn't have.

His outfit looked effortless, and here I was.

I reminded myself I was happy with what I did today. After a lot of years, I spent some money on myself. It felt good.

I looked around at people giving me looks. But I blocked them. I took a deep breath, touched my clavicle, and reminded myself of my mantra.

I opened my eyes to look at him when I stumbled on my way. His Amber eyes stared at me.

He took some steps towards me and I too did. He took my gloved hand in his and kissed the back of it.

"You look stunning, mea mulier. Tu properas ut interficias me vultu tuo" [] he sounded breathless.

I tilted my head in confusion.

He shook his head and cupped my face. He leaned down to my 5'7 height and kissed me softly.

I broke the kiss not wanting to make a scene in public. PDA wasn't my thing.

His action made my cheeks heat up and he chuckled at me. This was the first time I heard him chuckling and he should do it again. It's beautiful, just like him.

"Let's go" he took my hand and took me to his car.

He opened the door and whispered "My lady" and gestured for me to sit. I shook my head and saw him smiling.

He quickly came and sat on the other side and started to drive.

I turned on the radio, but not before looking at him and he nodded his head.

Soft music started playing and I saw him tapping his fingers on the steering wheel, the other of course on my thigh.

He was slowly making circles on my thigh which made me feel something.

After a long drive, he stopped and got out to open the door for me. Thanking him, I got out.

He put his hand on my waist and led me to the beautiful lawn.

The entry had a nice door, with lavenders on it.

There was a pianist already sitting. The place was decorated with flowers and lights. It looked good. It smelled good. There was a squared thing with white curtains all the four sides. It had lightings on its roof, accompanied by an expensive-looking table and two gleaming chairs. The whole setup looked breathtaking.

I turned to him and stuttered pathetically, "Yo-you did all of this?" I asked and gestured to the amazing view.

"For you," he said and kissed the side of my temple.

"If you'll cry then I won't give you the surprise in the end," he said, pulling me to his chest causing me to have my hands lay straight on his chest.

Muscles. Muscles.

"You're quite muscular," I blurted out.

Why?

He chuckled again. That's two in a row.

"Come" he said and took me in.

He held the chair for me and took his coat out and sat in front of me.

"I made a friend today," I told him.

He unbuttoned the top of his shirt and sat wide-legged.

I was a mess, a hot mess.

"Go on" he smiled genuinely.

"I went out shopping and there was this lady who looked beautiful inside out and she did my makeup and dropped me too. She also told me I'm looking beautiful and pecked my cheeks. We also exchanged numbers. Does that make her my friends?" I asked the last part in hopes he'd answer positively.

"It does," he said with emotion on his face, but quickly masked it with a smile.

"I'm so proud of you" he smiled genuinely and caressed my knuckles

"You want to eat?" he asked.

"I- yes" I blushed. I was really hungry.

I smiled goofily at him, trying to not let him know that I didn't have anything after lunch.

He turned and actioned something to the guy in a white outfit. He turned back and disappeared somewhere.

Within a few minutes, the pianist started playing. Everything felt beautiful.

The waiter came and kept the food. In the meantime, I told him about how Caroline acted differently.

"Th-Thankyou," I told the waiter and he left.

"You know she also selected my design for this model who's really famous and and Caroline also said 'Thank you' for it. She never she never really does." I gushed.

He cut the meat into pieces and gave me his plate and took mine, occasionally nodding and letting me know he was listening.

"I really enjoyed today. It started well and it's going great. Thank you, Caro" I blushed at the memory.

"Caro?" He asked.

"I'm tired of using bubs, so Caro it is," I told him and ate the meat.

"It's really tasty" I informed him.

His cheekbones turned red.

"Oh, my Caro. Are you blushing? Let me take photo." I said and opened the camera and took some photos of him. He looked adorable.

I had the phone in my hand and kept the purse in the car. The purse wasn't looking good.

"Stop" he grunted.

"But you're adorable" I pouted.

"Shut up" he groaned.

"Shut up" I mocked him back.

"Amor" he warned.

Did he just call me that? I hope I don't faint. OH.MY.GOD

"Caro" I replied back.

His glare had me shut up. I ate the food that was prepared. It was tasty and I was loving every moment with him.

"Oyee! What's the surprise?" I asked and leaned forward a bit.

"You've got an amazing tattoo, amor" he looked at the tattoo lovingly.

That's not what I wanted to hear.
