"We're here," Bleu quickly got off the car and went to open the door for me. I laid my hand at his looking around the place.

He led the way to a garden; unfamiliar of the place I stood there looking around. We walked to a garden maze with bushes taller than me. It's as if I have been there before but I couldn't place a finger when.

"Raine, are you okay?"

"Yeah, it's a nice place," I said assuring him with a nod.

"Ahhh there!" He excitedly said grabbing my hand running towards the reception.

We were then sat on a candlelit dinner table outside under the glimmer of the stars.

"So... did friend-versary really exist?" I asked playfully.

"No, but that's not what we're celebrating," he chuckled looking at the food served in front them.

It wasn't long enough before the empty table was filled with delicious foods. My eyes was quickly distracted from all the foods that was being served right in front of me.

"Shall we?" Bleu smiled at me as I looked at the table filled with my favorite foods.

"Yes, of course!" I said ecstatically licking my lips.

"Isn't this a bit too much for us?" I added still amused.

Mikhail stared at the table then rubbed his hair with one hand, "I don't know what to order, so I ordered all the things you love. It's a shame I couldn't order myself."

A soft, sweet giggle resounded, "Awww... you... thank you! I'll try to eat all of this just for you!"

"Hey there go easy on the food, save some for me too!" he said smiling.

"I-I want to talk about something," I said bitting my lips from uncertainty.

"Yeah sure," he looked at me dropping his spoon and fork.

"You see I, I kinda have feelings for you," I let out a big sigh of relief after saying the whole sentence.

He just stared at me, no emotions, just staring at me. For what felt like forever he finally blinked and spoke.

"Raine, My Tulip, I like you too," he said slyly.

The color of red reflected on my cheeks as I blushed, focused in Bleu's deep sea orbs.
A smirk appeared on his face catching me staring at him with a glow in my eyes.

"I love you..." he took one my hands into his and holding it tightly, "I've always been loving you in secret."

My heartbeat increased as Bleu's touch created havoc to my body. I stared into his sapphire blue eyes calling me in. He continued to stare at me making me completely lost into his eyes.

Mikhail stood up, holding my hand then wrapping both of his hands around my waist, pulling me into a hug. Never breaking the stare, he reached for his front pocket for a red velvet box.

He opened the box revealing a tulip necklace. His hands going around my neck clasping the necklace into place. I felt his breath in my ears a sound that made me smile.

I recalled the first time I had met Mikhail. His eyes lovingly watching me from the end of the aisle. It was just a dream back then, never had I envisioned those deep blue sea eyes to bring so much peace to my heart in this reality. As if he had painted a whole new life to mine, a new beginning with him.

"Still, My Tulip, stay still, hold me close to your heart..."
