Behind The Counter/ Chace Crawford

Second Anniversary

On their second anniversary, Chace orchestrated a surprise candlelight dinner in the café. He secretly worked together with Shane and Mike to turn the place while Tisch believed Chace would pick her up later after she closed the café.

As Tisch turned the key and stepped inside, she was stunned. The interior was unrecognizable, filled with flowers and softly lit by countless candles. A cozy mattress was placed in the middle, adjacent to a movie ready to be played. Nearby, a table was loaded with a variety of foods, wine, and cheese, creating a romantic ambiance.

But one person was missing.

"Happy 2nd anniversary, my baby," Chace whispered behind her ear.

Tisch was so touched she didn't know how to react. She felt overwhelmed by love as she turned to face him. He looked incredibly handsome, even in casual wear, and she wanted to jokingly complain about how unfair it was for someone to look so good so effortlessly. Instead, she was speechless, overcome with the depth of her feelings for him.

Chace's eyes sparkled with affection as he took her hand, leading her to the center of the transformed café. "I wanted to make tonight special," he said, his voice filled with emotion. "You deserve nothing but the best."

Tisch's heart swelled with gratitude and love. "Chace, this is... beyond words. I don't know how to thank you."

"No need for thanks," Chace replied, pulling her into a tender embrace. "Just being with you is enough for me."

They sat down on the mattress, enjoying the mouthwatering spread Chace had arranged. They sipped wine, shared stories, and laughed together, their connection growing even stronger. The movie played in the background, but their attention was mostly on each other, savoring every moment of their special evening.

Tisch felt an overwhelming sense of happiness and contentment. The café, their haven, was the perfect setting for this beautiful celebration of their love.

Later, as they lay on the mattress, gazing at the flickering candles and holding each other close, Tisch whispered, "I love you so much, Chace. More than words can say."

"I love you too, Tisch," Chace replied, his voice filled with sincerity. The night ended with them cuddled up, enjoying the warmth of each other's presence, and feeling incredibly blessed to have found each other.
