'I got a confession to make

I don't rush a date

Commitment is an enemy to me

But ever since her lips touch my face

It's like a kiss was laced

I'm fiend, I'm fiend, I'm fiend

I usually like to slow down the pace

Love to tease and play

But girl I need to be direct with you

Cause in my mind your voice just replays

Like a broken tape

What you do, what you do, what you do

Material girl, anything you need.'

David was dressed as though it was a usual dinner, but with a touch of sophistication and boastfulness.

He pulled it off cleanly.

But to be honest, he could wear a paper sack and he'd look smashing.

Lana did not suspect a thing.

She thought this was just a nice dinner pour deux.

She had no idea what awaited her.

Past thoughts critiquing David's bizarre behaviour had vanished from her brain.

"Thank you Charles." She spoke exiting the car.

"Have a wonderful night, miss!" He spoke back.

David led her inside and straight to the VIP section of the restaurant.

He grabbed her hand and led her up several cases of stairs.

His heart thumped rapidly.

His breathing was erratic and he managed shaky breaths.

What the hell was happening to him?

"David! What is this?" She asked confused and slightly irritated.

"You'll see." He dismissed her.

Reaching their destination he stood in front of the door and blocked the surprise location.

David had prepared the most romantic rooftop dinner.

New York City's finest view and meal.

And had taken it upon himself to cover the space in flowers.

Dozens of flowers of all colours and varieties.

He knew Lana was a girl of hearts and flowers so, he wanted to make her dreams come true.

He aspired to be her happily ever after.

He was hesitant to open the door.

He began to doubt himself further.

That awful word danced through his mind.

Lana sensed his reluctantly.

"Oh for heaven's sakes!" She grew annoyed and shoved through the door.
