It was Friday evening when Kian took me out, this time in his car. On the drive, he kept silent, not giving me a hint of where we were going.

It was later when we reached the airport, my suspicions started to grow.

My eyes jumped between the private jet and Kian as he casually walked towards it, holding my hand.

"Are you sure we are going on a date?" I asked the moment he started to climb up the stairs of the jet.

"What kind of a date are you taking me on which requires us to use this mode of transportation? I am not complaining, I swear but I am very curious right now. Are we going to some other city? You could have brought me a cheeseburger and eaten it along with me and I would have considered that a good date too. Honestly, I don't have much experience with it...the dates I had with Steven were scarce and we hardly went out--"

Kian's head snapped at me, cutting off my babbling and he gave me a stern look, dragging me inside the jet.

The pilot along with a few more men stood at the entrance, bowing their heads at Kian and maybe me too.

Kian nodded at them and they all stepped aside and we went further inside the jet.

He gently pushed me towards a window seat and I sat down as he sat next to me too and leaned towards me to buckle my seatbelt.

"Will you tell me where we are going?"

Kian gave me a tiny smirk just as the air hostesses prepared for take off.

"You are killing me with this suspense." I pouted at him.

Kian simply kissed my pout.

Later the announcements were made about the weather, the flight duration and the...destination.

"...New York City..."

"We are going to NYC?!"

He nodded, a small smile touching his lips.

I removed the armrest separating our seats and hugged him tightly, his arm went around my shoulder pulling me closer.

I tipped my head up, tears welling in my eyes. "You didn't have to do this."

He cupped my cheek, grazing his lips over my forehead. "But I wanted to."

"You are the best." I grinned, blinking back my tears and I kissed his jaw.

He didn't like that I kissed his jaw and tapped his lips.

I chuckled. "You are so freaking cute." Then I pecked his lips.

I pulled back and straightened. "So, we are spending the weekend there?"

"Yes."

"Like a honeymoon?"

"No. It's a date. Do you want to go on a honeymoon?"

"We can?"

He nodded.

"Where?" I couldn't contain my excitement.

"Anywhere in the world. Europe. Asia. Australia or any other place."

"OMG, can we go to Paris?!"

"Yes."

I shot up from my seat and jumped up and down, clapping my hands. "We can go to Paris?! I will get to see the Eiffel Tower?!"
