When he's fully out the door I pull out an emerald green dress with a square neckline I hold it up running my hands over the pearl embellishments perfect I grab one of the hangers out of the closet and hang it in the bathroom where I start to do my makeup I sit upon the counter rubbing eye shadows all over my lids till I hear a knock on the door

"yes" I respond

"Blake we have to leave in about 30 minutes" he tells me

"okay" I say finishing my makeup and curling my hair I hop off the bathroom counter and finally get dressed zipping up my dress I take a final look checking my sparkly nude eyeshadow laid in the correct places and my hair is the right amount of curly and wavy I pear out the bathroom door and into our room making sure Ashtons not in there when I see the coast is clear I tiptoe run across the room and put on my black pumps taking one last look in the full-length mirror I make my way to the door opening it a crack I call to Ashton "are you ready?"

"yes" he calls back

"okay close your eyes" I say walking out and in front of him "okay open" I say he opens and I see his jaw drop not saying a word I give him a twirl and then look at him damn he looks so good and so effortlessly "close your mouth love your gonna catch flies" I joke to him gently closing his mouth bursting out laughing by his expression he grabs me by the waist and just mutters

"damn"

"worth all that waitin wasn't it" I say to him he nods smiling like a little boy he grabs my hand

"We have to get going" he says walking us to the elevator we climb in and he presses the lobby button

"are you going to tell me where we're going now?" I ask him

"no it's my turn to surprise you" he tells me the doors open and he leads me through the lobby to the doors we spin around the merry go around when we emerge outside I see a black mustang waiting with the vale

"ha it's like your car"

"yeah it is" Ashton says taking the keys from the vale I look at him with my mouth dropped he did not just rent his car Ashton walks over to me picking up my jaw and kissing me "close your mouth darling your going to catch flies" he says opening my door I get in and I'm stunned by the interior bright red Ashons gets in right next to me I turn to him and ask

"Is this what a real date with Ashton Baylor looks like?"

"if that's what you want baby" he says I sit back taking in the scenery on our drive to god knows where

"look Ashton it's the empire state building" I say as we approach the famous iconic building I see him crack a smile as he puts on his turn signal going into a parking garage he parks the car running around to open my door holding out his hand I place mine in it and he helps me out of the car walking to the entrance of this building I can hear the clicks of my heels on the pavement "where are we Ashton?" I ask him as he opens the door for me

"where do you think?" he asks me as we enter an elevator

"I don't know" I say as the doors open it exposes a big slightly lit room lined with windows all around giving the perfect view of the city "Ashton" I gasp looking at it I feel him come up behind me and wrap his arms around my waist

"This would be the view from the empire state building" he tells me I swing around in shock not managing to conjure up words just looking at him asking questions with my eyes what the fuck? Are you serious? "Yes baby seriously" he confirms with me I grab his face kissing him deeply and passionately I pull away and gaze into his eyes he grabs my hand and leads me to a table pulling out one of the seats for me then sitting down across from me a waiter brings over our food fettuccine alfredo I try and focus on the meal and our date in general but I can't pull my eyes from the skyline

"would you seriously want to live here?" I ask Ashton managing to pull my eyes for a second I see him pause for a moment and consider it

"Yeah, would you?"

"of course it's always been my dream"

"you never told me that" he says

"I never told anybody that" I tell him taking a bite

"let's do it" he says making me choke a little bit "sorry two forward" he says cowering back

"no-no" I say grabbing his hands across the table "I would love to" I say once again gazing back out the windows imaging it as my city as our city.
