"What Are You Waiting For?" || ORIGINAL STORY.

Chapter Seventy.

Darren's POV.

It had been 2 days, and we hadn't gone out.

Tanya wanted to go out, but she didn't know where.

Well, luckily, I had it all planned.

I was going to take Tanya to an expensive restaurant on the Eiffel Tower.

Then.. another surprise.

I tried my best to ignore my social media and phone, but sometimes.. 

I'd get messages from Anika.

I just hoped she'd leave me alone.

She would send weird messages, which I didn't understand..

Was she planning something? 

Was she threatening me?

Godfuckingdamnit.

As the day passed, the sun slowly started to set, casting a warm golden hue across the city skyline.

We had spent most of the day at home, lounging around and enjoying each other's company.

But I could sense that Tanya was itching for something more, something to do.

That's when I decided to reveal my plan. 

I turned to her with a smile.

"Hey, I have a surprise planned for us tonight. Are you ready to go out?"

Tanya's eyes lit up with excitement.

"A surprise? Where are we going?" She asked, already standing up and looking ready to leave.

I chuckled at her eagerness. 

"It's a surprise, remember? I can't tell you yet."

Tanya pouted a bit, but she quickly composed herself.

"Fine, fine. I'll wait patiently." She said dramatically, feigning annoyance.

"First of all," I said. "You need something to wear.."

I went over to my suitcase to pull out a wrapped box that I've been hiding from her since this trip started.

Tanya's eyes widened as she saw the box, curiosity written all over her face.

"What's that?" She asked, unable to hide her intrigue.

I handed the box to her. 

"Open it." I urged.

Tanya carefully unwrapped the box, revealing the beautiful dress I bought inside.

Her eyes widened once again as she took in the sight of the dress.

"Oh my God, it's gorgeous." She breathed, her hand reaching out to touch the fabric.

"I wanted you to have something special to wear for tonight," I explained, watching her reaction. "Try it on."

She nodded excitedly, grabbing the dress and darting into the bedroom.

I waited patiently, listening to the sound of rustling fabric coming from inside.

After a few minutes, she finally emerged from the bedroom, wearing the dress.

And..

Damn, she looked beautiful.

The dress hugged her curves perfectly, the silky black material shimmering under the light.

The neckline dipped down just enough to accentuate her chest, and the hem of the dress fell just above her knees.
