— Offroad —

I knew he told me to dress casually, but this was our first official date, and "casual" wasn't really in my vocabulary for something this important. I needed to look impeccable. My mind was spinning, giddy with anticipation, and I found myself staring at the rows of pants hanging in my closet like each pair held the key to impressing Daou. After cycling through about five different outfits, I settled on one that felt perfect, simple with just the right mix of relaxed and refined. I had to admit, my excitement was a little ridiculous.

The thing was, the moment I decided to stop fighting it, to stop denying how much Daou meant to me, how deeply I was falling for him, it felt like a weight had been lifted. The fear that had been gnawing at me for weeks, that quiet voice whispering what if this ends badly, had taken a backseat, overshadowed for now by the excitement of a new beginning. I could finally breathe and enjoy the moment. And tonight? Tonight felt like the first page of a new chapter, one I was eager to dive into.

One last glance in the mirror. I checked my phone, wallet, keys, and with a deep breath, left the condo. As I stepped outside, I saw Daou already waiting for me, leaning casually against his car like some sort of effortlessly perfect movie character. He looked incredible, even in just jeans and a t-shirt. The way his broad shoulders and long legs filled out the simplest clothes always left me speechless.

"You look gorgeous Road" he said, his eyes traveling up and down my body, lingering a little on my waist.

Him calling me "Road" like that always did things to me. There was something about the way it sounded coming from him, like it bypassed my brain and shot straight to my heart and, well... other places.

"Thank you, you don't look so bad yourself" I said, stopping right in front of him, close enough to feel the heat of his body.

He put his hands on my waist, bringing me close to him, "Can I get a hello kiss ?" he whispered, his lips inches from mine. I didn't hesitate, pressing my lips to his, pouring everything I'd been feeling into that kiss... Desire, affection, excitement, maybe even love.

"Hello" I said, breathless.

"The things you do to me, Offroad," Daou growled softly, his voice rougher than usual. "You drive me crazy. All I want to do is take you back to your condo and show you just how wild you make me feel."

His words sent a shockwave through me, and I felt myself harden instantly. "Take me back to my condo then" I whimpered, kissing his neck

"Road..." he said with a little warning, pushing me away. "Let me take you on a proper date first. I'll take care of you tonight sweetheart."

I bit my lip, forcing myself to step back and take a deep breath. The anticipation was almost unbearable, but I nodded. "Okay, but I'll hold you to that."

"Where are you taking me?" I asked as Daou got in his seat

"That's a surprise" he answered with a grin

The drive was peaceful, and as the city lights faded behind us, I started to wonder where exactly he was taking me. After about thirty minutes, we pulled off the main road onto a small, winding one that led up to a hill overlooking the city. My heart skipped a beat.

"Are we having a picnic?" I asked excitedly.

"Yes we are," he replied as he parked the car, his eyes soft as he turned to look at me. He remembered.
