After my birthday, Y/N and I had been closer than ever, if that was even possible.

We were back to her coming into my office every day, using awful excuses with her coworkers. The only ones who knew were Jules and Ari, and they had such different reactions.

Y/N told me about how Ari furrows her eyebrows and lets out a frustrated sigh everytime she sees her step in the elevator, and how Jules smirks at her before the doors close.

She spent most of the nights at my place, and even though I suggested we should go at hers too sometimes, but she prefers to stay away from Morgan and Jules' teasing.

I wasn't complaining though, I loved how at home and safe she felt at my place, she could stay there whenever she wanted for all I cared about.

That day was one of those in which Y/N was drowning in work to do, so she stayed at her place because that was where she had everything she needed in order to get it done.

I knew how hard she was working, and that was exactly why she was one of the best out there. I was lucky to have her work for my company, and I wasn't just saying that because she was my girlfriend.

Y/N had passion, she had dedication, but most importantly she had love for what she did, such deep love. It didn't feel like a weight on her shoulders when she wrote, it felt like her whole depended on that, but in a good way. It wasn't the "I'll fail and be miserable for my whole life if I don't get this done" way, it was the "this is what brings me happiness at its fullest and I never want to stop doing it" way.

That was one of the things I loved the most about her.

To show her just how much I did and to also thank her for the amazing birthday party she threw me not too long ago, I decided to take her on a date, but I hadn't told her yet.

I spent the whole day preparing for it, and when everything was done it was time to let Y/N know.

How much time do you need to get ready?

Oh my. Why are you asking me that?

Nothing...you think you can do it in like...twenty minutes?

I'll try my best.

Amazing. I'll be at yours in twenty then, my love.

Can you give me five more minutes? I need a few of those to get my cheeks back to their original color.

Dork.

I was on my phone for a bit until it was eventually time to go. I gathered all the things I needed, and besides a little struggle, I managed to get everything in the backseats of my car, so hopefully Y/N wouldn't realize what I was doing.

I parked outside and honked the horn so she would know I was there.

Not even a few minutes after I saw her coming out, just like the night I decided to take her stargazing.

"Hop in!" She did as I said and soon she was sitting next to me.

"I shouldn't even bother asking you where we are going, right?"

"Exactly. But this time I need you to close your eyes and not open them until I say so, okay?"

"People usually use a blindfold for this, you know? How can you know I won't open my eyes?"

"Who told you I didn't have one? But for now you need to close your eyes, if I put the blindfold on and say we get stopped by the police I might end up somewhere I shouldn't be. Then when we get there I'll put it in you, okay?"

"Deal." I could see her close her eyes and I started driving.

"Which song should I put on?"

Y/N thought about it before giving me an answer: "1950 by King Princess".

That song was one of our favorites, and I was starting to think it would become "our" song. I always thought it was slightly cringe, but then I realized that it's actually very sweet. Having something that can make two people feel even more connected, hearing words that represent the relationship you have in some way, can make everything feel even better.

"I hate it when dudes try to chase me

But I love it when you try to save me

'Cause I'm just a lady

I love it when we play 1950

So cold that your stare's 'bout to kill me

I'm surprised when you kiss me

So tell me why my gods look like you

And tell me why it's wrong

So, I'll wait

For you

I'll pray

I will keep on waiting for your love

For you

I'll wait

I will keep on waiting for your..."

I was surprised at how Y/N actually kept her eyes closed for the whole ride, and when we finally got there I put the blindfold on her and started preparing everything.

"Promise you won't leave me here alone?"

"I promise. I just need to set up a few things, I won't be long." I kissed her lips and took everything with me so that I wouldn't have to do it in more than one trip, and after just a few minutes everything was ready.

"Hold my hand." I let Y/N out of the car, ready to guide her to the entrance.

"This smells weird."

"What does?"

"The air."

"Oh, shut up!" I walked us inside and closed the door, then took the blindfold off of her.

"Et voilà!" Y/N looked around her, she didn't say a word before she noticed everything that was in front of her.

"We're back at the lake house! And there's food, and you made it!" She exclaimed turning around so could face me.

"Yeah, I did. I thought it would be nice if we came back here for tonight at least, you need a little break from work and I need to show you just how much I love you." I brought her in for a kiss, feeling her smile against my lips.

"You didn't have to."

"But I wanted to. Now let's eat before it gets too cold!"
