"Luke, I don't wanna wear this," Emily mumbles into my shoulder. I look down to my side, smiling at her.

"I'm researching, babe, and you can't see it," I nudge her head with mine.

"Luke, I'm literally wearing your snapback over my face," She groans.

I can't help but laugh at the fact that she actually let me put my maroon snapback over her face.

"Aw, but you look so cute in it," I laugh.

"Shut up," She giggles quietly.

"It does look kinda weird," The old man sitting next to Emily shrugs. God, this guy was really starting to get on my nerves.

"Dude," I stare at him. He shrugs and goes back to reading the SkyMall magazine that the airplane provides.

Rolling my eyes, I go back to my laptop and google 'things to do in New York City'. After the page loads, I immediately go back and search 'cheap things to do in New York City'. I scroll through a couple websites before sighing and looking back down to Emily. Where could I take her that'd she'd love? This was our first date... Fuck, why did I have to call it a date? That just put pressure on me and the whole situation. If I hadn't called it a date, would she have known that that's what I meant? Isn't that thing kind of implied? Fuck, I have no idea what I'm doing.

"Are you okay?" Emily asks quietly, "I can hear that you stopped typing."

"I'm just thinking a little," I say.

"I could help you find something, if you want," she offers.

"Really?" I raise an eyebrow, "I mean, I really wanted to surprise you...."

"All you have to do is let me take off this hat," she laughs.

"My hat isn't that bad," I roll my eyes.

"It smells like a ton of hair product," she groans, "Let me guess, the packaging says there's an undertone of pine?"

"Yeah, how'd you know?" I ask skeptically.

"It smells like someone shoved a tree up my nose. Why do men's products say that? They say there's an undertone, but there's nothing under about this tone. It's like Axe," Emily rambles, "God, that stuff is literally human repellent. How is that so many guys wear Axe, even with everyone saying how bad it smells?"

"It doesn't smell that bad."

"It's just insanely overpowering, no matter how much you spray. I'm just glad that you grew out of your Axe phase."

"I was never in an Axe phase," I roll my eyes.

"Oh, please," Emily laughs, "I smelled it before you even approached the table in the airport when we first met."

"No way," I scoff.

"Yeah, anyone with a nose could smell the Axe you had on. Don't worry, though, you didn't overdo it too much and you stopped wearing it a little bit after we met. Thank you for that, by the way."

"Just wear the damn hat," I laugh, playfully hitting the center of my snapback.

"Ow, my nose," She mumbles.

I kiss the top of her head and turn back to my laptop, suddenly getting an idea for our date. I find a website for what I'm looking for and I read through it, seeing that I have enough money for entry and they're open today. I'm starting to get excited about our date and smiling, I shut my laptop.

I turn to Emily and slowly take my hat off of her face, "Peek-a-boo."

She glares at me and I laugh, leaning down to kiss her forehead.
