The car pulls up to the restaurant and Y/n gets out first, offering me a hand to help me out of the car. She rests her hand on the small of my back, leading me inside. We get ushered to the table, Jessica and Gian Luca already there.
"Hey, girls, you look lovely." Jess compliments, giving both of us a kiss on the cheek in greeting. "Nice to meet you, Gian Luca," Y/n says, extending a hand.
"You too, Y/n." He smiles in return and goes to shake my hand. It's pretty obvious that he's Italian, I mean apart from the accent. The way he stands and presents himself is also very Italian.
We talk about random things while we enjoy our food. I can tell Y/n is enjoying getting to know them and so am I. Over the evening, Y/n and I gravitate closer and closer to each other, having to be touching in some way the entire time. I notice Jess giving Y/n a teasing look that causes her to blush, but I don't say anything about it.
We get dessert and I share a chocolate cake with Y/n. I playfully feed her a couple of bites since we didn't get enough forks. It was a really nice dinner overall.
We stand up and head out of the building to chat a little more before heading our own ways. The car ride back is pretty calm and we arrive home around midnight.
"That was nice," Y/n says as we enter the house. "Yeah, it was great." I agree, smiling, stifling a yawn. "Someone's tired." She chuckles before throwing me over her shoulder, having me giggling. "Oh my god! Y/n. Put me down." I squeal.
She keeps on carrying me until we reached the bedroom. "You are something else," I say, smiling.
The next day is a delightful day off. We get to just relax and spend time with each other. Y/n heads out sometime in the late afternoon for some grocery shopping, coming back after about two and a half hours which seems a bit off but I decide to leave it, having used the time to do some reading.
The poetry book she gave me when she came back from Canada has truly grown on me. She has truly picked some beautiful pieces for it and the ones she wrote herself are just as amazing as the others I've read.
"Darling, I wanna show you something," Y/n says as she comes into the living room after putting the groceries away. The sun has already completely set and the moon has started to rise. I shift my position to look at her. "Sure, babe. What is it?" I ask her. "I'm gonna need you to stand up." I nod, getting off the couch and walking over to her. "And you need to put this on." She says, holding up a blindfold. I smirk. "Not for that, babe." She teases and I playfully roll my eyes.
She gently secures the blindfold over my eyes before placing a gentle kiss on my lips that I try to draw out for as long as possible.
She takes my hands and leads me somewhere. I can tell we leave the house and walk somewhere in the neighborhood. It doesn't take five minutes until she removes the blindfold again. She smiles at me, her eyes glistening. "Turn around." She says and I do so.
I can't help but gasp when I see the beautiful view. She set up a beautiful picnic with a free view of the city, the clear sky, and the moon with the stars. "Oh my god, Y/n. This is beautiful." I say, turning back around to face her. "You like it?" She asks, scratching the back of her neck. "It's not too cheesy?"
"I fucking love it." I smile and take her face in my hands, giving her a loving kiss. "I fucking love you," I add, smiling like a fool. I don't know why but seconds later she bursts out into a song, making me laugh. "Save me, take me away to the moonlight." She sings, pulling me in. "The people around me don't feel right. What are we doing?" I laugh but follow her request, my arms settling around her neck. "Save me, take me away from the action." She sings and spins me around. "For you are the only attraction." She points at me for the lyrics and I smile "Take me away from here." I join in on the singing.
We continue to dance on the grass while singing along to the lyrics. "I'm so mental about you, Stefani." She says once we finished the song, now just swaying to the music in our heads. "Well, that's good, because I'm mental about you too." I chuckle, she smiles. "I'm just so in love with you. I don't even know how to put it into words. I adore you so much, Stefani. Fuck, I love you so much." She rambles. "I love how gentle and caring and patient you are with every move you make. I love how you always make sure everyone is comfortable around you and how you assure me you are there for me every day." She speaks and we fall into a comfortable silence for a moment.
"I adore you too, Y/n. I adore the way you blink and bite your lip when you are thinking a bit too hard over a crossword puzzle. I adore the way you move so comfortable even if there are a ton of people around me at practically any given time. And I love how our bodies gravitate towards each other, needing to stay connected physically in some way all the time. And your smile. God, I would do anything for that smile." I whine. "And your voice bring so much comfort when you're reading to me, that's why I ask you to do it so often." I finish.
Her eyes turn glassy as she searches mine, for what I'm not sure. Her eyes land on my lips and she leans in, giving me a soft but passionate kiss that I return with just as much emotion. I pull her even closer, my hands pressing into her back between her shoulder blades and on her lower back. Her hands disappear into my hair and I smile as they tug at my roots, effectively breaking our lips. She smiles before hugging me, her face snuggling into my neck.
God, I'm so in love with this woman.
A/N Song for this chapter was Save Me by Clout. Tbh I grew up with this song playing at every single family gathering. I'm kinda interested in my roots at the moment and decided to relive some of my childhood again, music is just one part of that. (Even though the music is not from my culture since I'm not sout african). It has actually taught me some stuff about myself that I didn't know before and I feel more connected to my extended family than ever.
Love y'all
