Morning, Resort Balcony

The golden rays of the sun spill into the room as Siya and Alex sit together on the balcony. Alex’s arm is wrapped around her shoulders, and Siya leans into his chest, sipping her coffee.

Siya: (smiling) I still can’t believe all of this, Alex. Last night felt like a dream.

Alex: (kissing her temple) It wasn’t a dream, angel. It was real. And I plan to make every day feel just like that- magical, with you by my side.

Siya: (blushing) You’re too much sometimes, you know that?

Alex: (grinning) Not “too much.” Just enough to keep you blushing like that forever.

They both laugh softly, their bond feeling stronger than ever.

Siya’s Apartment – Morning

Alex pulls his car into the driveway of Siya’s small apartment. They step out, hand in hand. Siya fumbles with her keys at the door, her cheeks still flushed from the romantic night.

Alex: (leaning against the doorframe) You know, I’m not a fan of dropping you off like this.

Siya: (turning to him, amused) And what would you prefer? Staying here forever?

Alex: (serious, but with a teasing smile) Yes. Every day. Every night. Waking up to your face, holding you close… I want it all, Siya.

Siya: (blushing furiously) Alex…

Alex: (cupping her face, his voice softer) You’ve given me something I didn’t even know I was searching for.

He presses a tender kiss to her forehead before stepping back.

Alex: (playfully) Now, don’t make me late for work.

Siya: (laughing) Go, before I change my mind and make you stay.

Alex winks at her, then turns and heads back to his car, leaving Siya smiling brightly at her door.

Alex’s Car – On the Road

Alex is driving back to his penthouse when his phone buzzes with a call from Noah.

Noah: (teasing tone) There he is! The man of the hour. How was the “romantic getaway,” lover boy?

Alex: (rolling his eyes) Don’t start, Noah.

Noah: (laughing) Oh, come on. Don’t act like I didn’t help set the mood. So… details? Did my room setup work its magic?

Alex: (firmly) Knock it off, Noah. Siya isn’t like anyone else I’ve been with. She’s… different. Special.

Noah: (mocking gasp) Oh, the great Alexander Van Derlyn is officially whipped!

Alex: (ignoring the comment) She’s not just special to me, Noah. She’s everything. I’m not messing this up.

Noah: (softening) Alright, alright. I hear you. And honestly? I’m happy for you, man.

Alex: (grateful) Thanks.

Noah: So, what’s next? Another trip? A grand gesture? What’s the plan?

Alex: (smirking) Actually, I need your help. I want to find a small, cozy 2BHK apartment. Something simple, middle-class.

Noah: (confused) Wait, what? Why would you need that? You already have the penthouse.

Alex: (explaining) Siya doesn’t know about my… status. I want her to see me for who I am, not what I have. This needs to be about us, not the money.

Noah: (chuckling) Man, you’ve got it bad. But alright, I’ll see what I can find. Cozy, simple, and love nest material. Got it.

Alex: (smiling) Thanks, Noah. And no more teasing.

Noah: (grinning) No promises.

Alex ends the call, his thoughts drifting to Siya. A warm smile spreads across his face as he imagines the future he’s building with her.
