I knew there's something going on, and I was right. Mat and the rest of the people out here have planned a surprise, which turns out to be such an epic fail.

I couldn't help but grin like the town idiot seeing the Islander's team holding a banner with the words "will you go out on a date with me" written on it and rose flower each of their hands. This whole entire scene is somewhat similar to highschool people asking a girl to be someone's prom date.

I kinda find it weird, but knowing that Mat did all this because of my mom's stupid idea is absolutely melting my heart. He's grinning too feeling so embarrassed and I seriously wanted to squeeze all the cuteness out of him at the moment.

When I stepped out of the patio looking at every one, I gathered myself up inhaled and drop the bad news right away.

"Okay folks! Clean the shit up, I wasn't surprised. Mat Barzal here was a huge a snitch!"

After that I heard all the growl of disappointments.

"Come on, bro!" Beau shouted tossing the flower.

"Don't throw the fucking flower, stupid brat!" Jordan Eberle yelled.

"So you guys are finally going out on a date?" My mom asked.

"Jade didn't said anything yet." Mat answered my mom.

"See? I told you not to fucking throw it!" Jordan hissed at Beau again causing him to pick up the flower.

"Stop cursing! The baby might hear you." Beau barked back.

"Jade?" Mat calls and everyone's attention is darted on me.

I sighed. "How can I say no?"

Everyone shouted and made loud noises. I looked on Mat who's now currently laughing.

"Is that a yes?"

I nodded and within a millisecond he grabbed my waist for a hug and was about to plant a kiss on my lips but I was fast enough to stop him from doing so, covering his mouth using my index fingers.

"You're moving way too fast Mr. Barzal," I said giggling. "We're not even on our actual date yet."

He giggles squeezing my waist with his huge hands. "I'm sorry, I just miss you so much. And you're so damn beautiful."

My heart starts to form like a balloon when I heard those words came out from his mouth. God! I miss him too and I wanted to kiss him hard as well but I am well aware with our surroundings.

I put my arms around his shoulders, savoring the moment as I stare on his gorgeous blue eyes.

"Thank you." I replied grinning at him like a five year old.

Mat started rubbing his thumbs and how I wish his touching my bare skin right now, I'm dying for this guy.

"So what time will I pick you up tonight?" He said with a thick voice as his eyes glazes, I couldn't help but smirk because I know what he exactly feels too. Hence, the hard ridge poking my belly.

"Already?"

He nodded kissing me on my cheeks, which earns a loud hoot from his teammates.

"Get a room!"

"Keep it in your pants girls and boys!"

Jezz! I forgot, we're not alone. We both laugh as we released each other.

I sighed. And Eberle started to play the guitar singing a country song I have no clue about. Beau handed Mat the flower and gave it to me as the both of us swayed on the song laughing on how crazy our relationship has been and that we're finally back on each other's hands.

Life is pretty perfect again.

Mat wasn't joking about the instant date, he picks me at my apartment at night fidgeting.

Yup! He's fidgeting.

We arrived at this posh French restaurant where majority of the folks are all lovers on their mid-forty's. This is a very exclusive restaurant, and I am completely aware that the food here are quite expensive.

But for the first time in forever, I never felt anxious about the whole ambiance. Mat made it look so easy for me, this is the thing with him, he makes me feel so comfortable. He knows how to calm me down when I start to feel anxious and he knows when I start to overthink things.

He knows me so well...

The waiter is now serving tiramisu for our dessert, and commented something in French which made Mat laugh.

"What did he say?"

"We're cute couple."

"So you understand French? You speak French? Wait-- I suddenly realized I don't know you over here."

He chuckles, he looks so fine tonight wearing a black suite.

"Yeah, I speak French."

"Now, I'm jealous." I replied.

"And why is that?"

"Because I wanted to learn a new language but I'm way too busy to study."

"Well then don't worry, I'll teach you myself." He replied.

We stayed another few minutes talking right before we took off. Once we reach my apartment, he started to fidget again.

"Barzy, stop fidgeting!" I said chuckling as I turned towards him.

He chuckles. "I'm nervous as fuck! I'm sorry."

"You're fine." I said sighing waiting for him to reach for me and close the gap between us, however, he looks still way too nervous to do it. "What? Are we just going to stand here? Or you'll finally make your move?"

He just stared at me blankly and since I am way too impatient I just decided to unlock my door. "Okay, suite yourself."

But right before I finally opened my door, Barzy turned me over and put his mouth on mine. The thin thread of his control finally snapped, he's completely hungry with this.

Me too.

My back touches the door as he pushed his mouth on mine, I moan when I felt his tongue. He opened the door using his free hands, only to be stopped when I realized all the lights are still on.

Shit!

Mat gives me a questioning look, yup! I just killed the mood. I searched my living room and I was right. My mom is sitting on the couch smirking looking at us.

Awkward....

"Mom! I thought you're staying at Tori's!"

"I just had to pick up something." My mom reasoned out and I can still see the mocking smile she's wearing as she hustles inside the house. "I have to go."

"Wait-- what?" I asked but she's already out on the door. "That's it?"

"You guys have fun!" She shouted locking the door behind her.

"She's totally spying." I commented.

Mat chuckles and grabs my waist again. "That was awkward."

I threw my arms around his shoulder and grab his neck to kiss me again.

"Will you go out with me again?"

"Absolutely."
