~ Y/N POV ~
"Where are you taking me?" I ask with a soft chuckle as I follow her through a small street. "You are a curious one aren't you?" She grins. She looks back at me with sparkles in her eyes. The once a mom get's when they are proud of their child. The once you get when you look up to an idol. "What?" I blush as I meet the eyes in question. "Nothing." She says with a soft smile. "We are here." She states as she turns onto a new street. It's narrow, old looking. Almost not real. Like It came right out of harry potter.
The sun was already hanging low since we were driving for a while. So all the sparkling light that were hanging outside made it look even more magical. "Right on time." Jenna smiles as she was pointing toward a small restaurant. "Do you always take 'going out for dinner' to a whole nother level." I giggle softly as I look at the magical looking restaurant. "Only on special occasions." She winks at me as she leads me inside. Tree branches, vines, leaves, lanterns and fairy lights cover the ceiling. As if we really were stranded in a fairy tale.
"It's beautiful here. How did you find this place?" I mumble softly, as I was still in awe, looking around the place. "I had to film some scenes close by this place once. On my free day I went out on my own and I stumbled apon this little town. That's how I found this place. No one reconized me. It was kind of wonderful." She grins as she looks up at the twinkling fairy lights above her.
"It has kind of been my secret spot for a while now. But I have never sat down and ate here. I knew I wanted safe that for someone special." She continues as she meets my eyes. My cheeks flush red. The way that she took me to her safe place. The way she saved this magical place and this moment for someone special. Someone she could trust. And that someone being me, made my heart pound out of my chest.
"You like it?" She asks me curiously. My eyes light up ever so slightly as I look at. Really look at her. The way her hair falls over her shoulder. The way her nose scrunches whenever she smiles big. The way the fairy lights reflect in her dark brown eyes, showing me an entire galaxy full of stars. "I love it." I whisper, loud enough for her to hear. I could barely make out the words as I got fully lost in her eyes. It made me want to cross 'go real stargazing' off my list. I know that it's just the reflection of the lights, that they weren't real. But why did it feel so real?
A smile formed on Jenna her lips. Never losing eye contact. My heart was practically in my throat as I yet again felt like this wasn't reality. This fairy tale setting didn't make it any easier to believe that this was really happening.
I got snapped away from Jenna her eyes as a waiter was ready for us to order. "I will order for her." Jenna had responded with a confidence that took my breath away. I never knew that I found that super attractive, until now.

"I'm stuffed. But man that was the most delicious food I've ever eaten." I state as we walk out the restaurant. "I will never forget this place. I've never been anywhere like it." I continue as Jenna faces me. "That's what I was going for." She smiles brightly. "So that I won't forget you?" I ask with a grin. "Perhaps that was one of the reasons." She winks. We walk down the street and come across a cat that was laying down on the side of the street. Jenna didn't hesitate to go up to him and pet him.
When she knelled to the ground, looking so small and so adorable. Petting the cat so gently. It felt like my heart was being squeezed. I join her as we both took a moment to pet the cat as he clearly enjoyed the attention. She slowly turned to face me instead of the cat and so did I. And when our eyes finally meet, I suddenly remember the taste of her lips. Her arms wrapped around my neck. I feel my cheeks burn up and my hands get sweaty as I feel my heartbeat in my throat. I snap out of it.
I quickly stood up as it spooked the cat and it ran off. "Sorry, I didn't meant to spook the cat." I state embarrassed. "That's okay. He had better places to be." Jenna joked as she made the situation instantly feel less embarrassing. She stood up herself as she gave me a soft smile. "Come on, I have something else to show you."
On the way to the other spot Jenna wanted to take me, we stopped for ice cream. There was a little bird who had landed on Jenna her head and I had taken a picture. And talked some more about life. It all felt so natural and trusted.
It had gotten dark outside. The only lights guiding us were the cute old looking street lights. "We need to go up this path, but it'll be dark. We'll have to use our phones as flashlights alright?" Jenna grins. "Are you sure about this?" I ask her as I look up the dark path that leads to- god knows what. Since I didn't even see past the darkness ahead. "Do you trust me?" She asks me. Without hesitation I answer. "I do."
