With all the excitement filling my body, I could barely sleep last night. Fluttering from my bed at around 7:30 am, I open my closet for my most difficult task today - choosing clothes for my first date with Levi.

What should I wear? It's the middle of autumn, and it's already quite cold. Plus, we are going there on a bike and will be outside all day.

After trying some options, I decide to go with a pair of slim black jeans, an oversized one-shoulder milky white sweater and my usual leather jacket, with a pair of Dr Martens boots.

This should do. Styling my hair into two french braids and putting on some makeup, I finish the last preparations as I hear my phone buzz.

Levi: Morning. On my way to pick you up. Ready?

I send him a quick reply and put my boots on, deciding to wait for him outside. I'm too excited to sit still and wait at home anyways. Grabbing a bag with my Polaroid camera and some films, I close the door behind me and head downstairs.

Levi arrives after 10 minutes. Parking the motorcycle on the side of the road, he takes off his helmet and gives me his signature slight smile, sending butterflies flying all over my body. Not being able to hold back my excitement, I embrace him in a big hug, praying to all gods he won't push me away from this unexpected physical contact. Levi seems taken aback for a moment, but then returns my hug, holding me tightly with his strong arms. I silently take a deep breath, inhaling his scent. He smells like pine and men cologne. And pure heaven. As we pull away from each other, I look at his face and see a very flustered Levi. I can't hold back a giggle, as he tries to hide his eyes from me.

"Hey you." I say, giving him my bright smile.

There's one detail that I've never noticed before. Two ring-shaped black earrings in Levi's right ear. He probably never wears them to work, so it makes sense it's the first time I see them. And now, as he's dressed in a total-black outfit, consisting of black boots, jeans, long-sleeve shirt and leather jacket, the earrings perfectly complement his mind-blowing look.

"These earrings suit you so well, Levi! Totally bad boy vibes!" I tell him, hoping it'll make him wear them more often.

"Thank you. You look beautiful." Levi tells me as he places my bag into the back storage of his bike and passes me my helmet. "Are you ready to go? It's going to take about an hour to get there." I nod, feeling a blush spreading across my face at his compliment.

"Yeah, absolutely, let's go!" I tell him as I hop onto the backseat behind Levi and place my hands around his body. Hugging him like this for an hour? What a bliss.

In the end it only took forty minutes for us to get to the place where Levi wanted to bring me, since the traffic was incredibly light. After finding a parking spot, we get off the bike and as soon as I take off my helmet, I'm taken aback from the view.

We are completely immersed in nature and since we are well into fall, the streets are covered with leaves of different colors, from ruby red to yellow, from green to orange, making the floor look like a real painting. I take a deep breath and inhale the fresh air. Living in Tokyo made me forget how good it is to get clean air in your lungs.

"Levi, it's beautiful." I tell him in complete awe, looking around me.

"I know, right?" He chuckles while getting his camera out of his bag. That looks really expensive.

Taking out my Polaroid too, I insert some new films and immediately snap a picture of Levi looking at the landscape.

"Oi. We're here to take pictures of the view." He says, scolding me.
