Waking up, I immediately felt the absence of Zay's comforting presence. We had spent the night watching movies, cuddling on the sofa until we fell asleep. It felt strange to wake up alone in my bed when we had drifted off together on the sofa.

Picking up my phone, I noticed a message from Zay. He explained that he had to handle something but would be back later today. He mentioned there was something for me in the kitchen. Curious and grateful, I hurried downstairs to find flowers and a McDonald's breakfast waiting for me, along with a caramel frappé.

I couldn't help but smile at his sweet gesture. Quickly, I sent him a text expressing my gratitude for everything. Then, without wasting any time, I indulged in the delicious breakfast he had gotten for me, savoring every bite and sip.

After finishing my breakfast, I went about my usual routine of getting ready for the day. Once I was all set, I decided to take some time to relax and unwind. I grabbed my phone and started scrolling through social media, catching up on the latest updates and news.

Caught off guard by the unexpected interruption, I paused the video and glanced toward the door, curious about who could be visiting.

Feeling a rush of affection, I glanced at the security feed and spotted Zay waiting at the door. A warm sensation filled me, and I couldn't help but grin. Hastily, I made my way to the door, my heart fluttering with anticipation. As soon as I swung it open, I practically threw myself into his arms, overwhelmed by the happiness of his presence.

 It was clear—I was definitely too attached.

"I wasn't even gone for that long," Zay chuckled as I greeted him at the door.

"But still!" I insisted with a playful pout.

"Thank you for everything again," I added sincerely.

"It's nothing. But you need to get ready," Zay said, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Right now?" I questioned, feeling a rush of excitement.

"Yeah, right now. And dress fancy," he instructed, leaving me curious.

"Where are we going?" I asked, eager for a hint.

"It's a surprise," he replied with a smirk, making me sigh in anticipation.

"Okay, give me two hours," I said, already planning my outfit in my head.

"Two hours? What for?" Zay exclaimed, slightly taken aback.

"I need to look good," I explained, already making my way upstairs.

"Okay, but hurry up a bit," he called after me.

"Yup!" I chimed, popping the 'p' with a grin.

*TWO HOURS LATER

After meticulously selecting the perfect outfit, doing my hair and touching up my makeup, and adding some final touches of accessories, I made my way downstairs. As I descended, I could feel a mix of excitement and nervousness building up inside me. What surprise did Zay have in store for us?
