MERCEDES's POV


We're on a fancy yacht for a special dinner celebration arranged by Xavier. The sunset creates a warm glow over the calm waters. The yacht is elegant and screams wealth, with extraordinary furnishings.

Xavier holds my hand as we walk to our reserved table, and a gentle breeze ruffles our hair. The butler hands me a beautiful bouquet as we enter, and we settle into our seats at a beautifully set table on the deck.

Dining under the stars on the sea is heartwarming and romantic. I'm wearing an elegant maroon maxi dress with nude stilettos and a handbag. The scenery is breathtaking, and I thank Xavier for arranging this dinner to celebrate my new job.

"Anything for you, Mercedes. It's a big achievement, and I wanted to make it special. Here's to your success!" Xavier replies, looking dashing in his suit.

Soft music plays in the background, creating an intimate ambiance with flickering candles on the table. The sea scent and gentle yacht sway add to the enchantment.

As we enjoy dinner under the starlit sky, our conversation flows easily. We talk about our journey, challenges, and dreams for the future. The evening celebrates not only my professional success but also our enduring love and support for each other.

"Xav, this dinner you've prepared is amazing. I'm touched by the effort and love you've put into it. It's a perfect way to celebrate this special moment. Thank you for making it so memorable," I say.

"You're welcome," Xavier said.

"Xav, this dinner on the yacht is incredible! Thank you for arranging it to celebrate my new job," I said.

"Anything for you, Ced. It's a big achievement, and I wanted to make it special. Here's to your success!" Xavier said.

"Cheers! You've always been my biggest supporter. I couldn't have done it without you by my side," I said, and we clinked glasses.

"I'm just so proud of you, Ced. You've worked so hard to get to this point. Your dedication and passion have brought you here," Xavier said.

"It means the world to me that you believe in me like you do. Your love and encouragement have been my driving force," I said, holding Xavier's palms.

"Well, I do not doubt that you'll excel in your new role. And I'll always be here to cheer you on, no matter what," Xavier said.

"Thank you, Xav. I'm so lucky to have you. And speaking of which, I have something for you too," I said, handing him an envelope.

"What's this?" Xavier asked.

"Open it, and you'll find out," I said.

Xavier opens the envelope, revealing two tickets for a romantic getaway.

"A weeklong getaway? Mercedes, this is amazing!" Xavier exclaimed.

"I thought we could use a little escape to celebrate together. After all, your support has been instrumental in my success," I said.

"You're the best, Ced. I can't wait for our little adventure. This is such a wonderful surprise," Xavier said teary-eyed.

"Well, here's to new beginnings and celebrating our love," Xavier said with sparkles in his eyes.

"To new beginnings and our enduring love. Cheers!" Xavier.

We raise our glasses once more, with smiles reflecting our deep affection for each other.

The night continued, filled with laughter, love, and the promise of a future brimming with shared dreams and adventures. Our yacht dinner was indeed "A Night to Remember," marking another significant milestone in our journey together.
