Date Night

Jennifer's P.O.V

It had been a long and exhausting week, shooting from dawn till dusk. Tonight, Ben was picking me up from work, like every night, but little did I know he had something truly special in store for me.

As the clock struck seven, he pulled up outside the filming studio. I stepped out, and so did he, my tired eyes lighting up when I saw him. In his hands, he held a bouquet of my favorite flowers, a mix of delicate white roses and vibrant lilies. The sweet scent filled the air as he handed them to me, a smile spreading across his face.

"Surprise." He whispered, his voice filled with warmth and affection.

"They're beautiful, Ben. Thank you." I said, feeling a rush of love for that thoughtful man.

I couldn't help but wrap my arms around him, pulling him into a tight embrace. He squeezed my back. As we pulled away, Ben took a step back and gestured towards the car.

"Shall we, my lady?" He asked with a playful twinkle in his eyes.

"Absolutely." I giggled.

With a flourish, Ben moved towards the car and opened the door for me, a goofy grin on his face. I couldn't help but giggle at his adorable charm as I gracefully slid into the passenger seat.

Soft music played from the speakers, a soothing melody. Something told me we were not going home. As we drove through the city, the melodic tunes enveloped us in a romantic atmosphere. Our hands intertwined on my thigh as we exchanged glances. I looked at him inquisitively, but he would only smile and assure me that it was a surprise.

As the car pulled up to a sleek, modern building, the engine purred to a stop. Ben swiftly stepped out of the car and circled around to open my door. With a charming smile, he extended his hand and I took it.

With his strong grip wrapped around my fingers, he led me towards the entrance of the building. We walked to the elevator, the click of our footsteps reverberating through the spacious lobby. We stepped into the elevator, and Ben pressed the button for the top floor without releasing my hand. As the doors closed, the soft hum of the ascension filled the air, and I glanced up at him. He stood with a playful lopsided smile on his face, his free hand in his pocket.

The elevator glided to a stop, and the doors slowly slid open. A gasp escaped my lips as I stepped out onto the rooftop garden. It was a scene straight out of a fairytale. Twinkling lights were strung delicately across the garden, casting a warm glow over the surroundings. The city skyline stretched out before us, a panorama of lights and towering buildings. My eyes widened, taking in the enchanting scene that unfolded before me. The gentle breeze carried the sweet scent of jasmine and roses.

Ben extended his hand, a warm smile playing on his lips, and led me further into the garden. As we walked along the beautiful path, the magical atmosphere enveloped us. Soft music, barely audible, drifted through the air, adding a melodic charm to the already mesmerizing ambiance.

And then, we stumbled upon it, a single round table for two, placed in the heart of the garden. The white tablecloth billowed gently in the breeze, casting a delicate shadow on ground. Candles flickered in the center, their golden glow dancing in harmony with the stars above, casting a warm, intimate glow around us.

"I don't know what to say." I finally managed, my voice barely above a whisper.

It was as if time had stopped, as if the world had faded away, leaving only the two of us in this suspended moment. The scene before me was proof of the thoughtfulness and care he had put into creating that unforgettable moment.

"You don't have to say anything." His voice filled with tenderness. "No expectations, no pressure. Just you and me."

He pulled out a chair for me, his eyes mirroring the flickering candlelight as he held my gaze. The anticipation in the air was palpable, a gentle current that electrified our connection. As we sat across each other, the garden seemed to hold its breath, as if it too was caught up in the magic of the moment.
