So the album writing was going well. Karen and Shelley had almost finished their input, and me and Gregg were happily plodding along with the guys all coming in now and again for their views.

Me and Mike had been together for a couple of months when he turned to me one Sunday after dinner and said, "I think we should maybe go away, just me and you"

I nodded, understanding his meaning immediately. And his timing was perfect, I had been wanting to tell him that I was 'ready' for a while now, but could never find the right moment. "I think that's a brilliant idea" I said, standing on tiptoes and kissing him softly. 

He slipped his arms  around my waist and pulled me in closer to him. I put my arms around his neck and felt my knees go weak as he began kissing me harder and with more passion. "Mike..." "Hmmm" he murmured huskily. I lost my trail of thought as he started kissing my neck.

"Babe, let's take this elsewhere" he said taking my hand and leading me into the lounge. 

Although we hadn't actually slept together, we had pretty much done about everything you could possibly do without actually making love to each other. It was surprising how much fun you could actually have with your clothes still on.

Mike came in to the office the following Monday with a grin on his face. "Gregg can I borrow Vic for a minute?"

Gregg looked up from the lyrics that we were trying to piece together. "Sure"

I looked at Mike curiously, but he wasn't giving anything away. I got up from the table and walked over to him, he held his hand out to me and I accepted it. "I have a surprise for you" he said as we left the room hand in hand. "Oooh" I said excitedly. "I like surprises!" He grinned at me, "come on, I'm taking you for lunch"

"You are?" He nodded and let me go of my hand and slipped his arm around my waist instead. "I am"

He led me down the corridor and out of the building. There was a car outside waiting for us. I looked at Mike curiously. He just smiled at me. We got in the car and cuddled up on the back seat for a bit. I tried to probe Mike into telling me where we were going, but he wasn't having any of it. I pretended to sulk, but he just kissed me until I gave in and kissed him back. 

We arrived at our destination about half an hour later and Mike told James to pick us up 'as arranged'. Mike got out of the car and held the door open for me. I grinned with delight as I saw where he'd bought me.

We were back at the Dylan, where we had had our very first date.

We went to the bar and Mike ordered a bottle of champagne. "I'm gonna be in no fit state to go back to work" I laughed. "It's a good job you're not then isn't it?" he whispered in my ear. I shivered then looked at him questioningly. "Gregg already knew I was taking you out today, he was just playing along" 

"You sneaky.." I grinned at him, I loved his planning.

"Mr. Graham?" the waiter was behind us with two lunch menus in his hand. "This way please"

Mike picked up the bottle of champagne in one hand and slipped is other arm around my shoulder. We followed the waiter into the restaurant and to our secluded table. It was the same table where we'd had our first date. The waiter placed the menus on the table and said he would be back shortly.

We sat down and Mike poured us both a glass of champagne. "Mike this is stunning, thank you" I said quietly. The table had been scattered with rose petals and there was an envelope sat n-between the two champagne flutes that Mike was filling. 

Mike handed me a glass of champagne then pushed the envelope towards me. "This is your real surprise" he said. I picked up the envelope and studied it curiously for a moment. Mike was looking at me in amusement, "Are you going to open it then?" he laughed. I pulled a face at him and started to open the envelope.

I opened the envelope and squealed as I pulled out two plane tickets. I put them on the table and studied them. Two return tickets to Paris, I looked at the date. "That's today?" I said in a panic.

Mike laughed at my reaction. "That's why you're not going back to work" he smiled and reached for my hand across the table, "we're having dinner, then James is coming to take us to the airport"

"But I haven't packed!!" I exclaimed as I realised. 

Mike winked at me, "all taken care of"

"wha-" I decided not to question, it was probably safer. "Thank you Mike" I said, still not quite believing that he had done all this for me. "Not a problem darling"

"Ahem" there was a quiet cough at the side of us signalling the arrival of the waiter. I laughed quietly as Mike said, "could you give us a minute or two"

We both decided to have the set lunch menu which was a lighter option, especially as we were going to be travelling. We had another lovely meal and left as Mike had arranged to be picked up by James.
