We didn't do much that day. We only lay in bed, watch three episodes of Game of Thrones, cuddle a lot and talk. And honestly, there isn't a better way that we could've spend this day. I am looking forward to going out for dinner with him but sometimes all you need is being close to each other and to just have time.

"So, Babe, where do you want to have dinner tonight?" Avi asks me after the third episode has ended.

I look up to him from my utterly comfortable position which is being cuddled up flush against his broad chest. "Is 'I don't care as long as I get something into my tummy and you're with me' a suitable answer? If not, maybe sushi or something going into that direction? What did you have in mind?"

Avi chuckles. "Exactly the same. Minus the sushi-part. I was hoping it would be a suitable answer" he explains and I can't help but smile brightly. "But I am not opposed to sushi. Do you know a good place in this town?"

I shake my head. "Not really, but maybe Scott does. We've been to a really nice place last time. Maybe he remembers where it was, I forget such things."

Avi nods and kisses the top of my head softly. "You text him and I take a shower?"

"Mmhm" I hum in agreement. I don't want him to leave, don't want to leave the warm cocoon which consists of him and the blankets, but I'm getting hungry. With one last kiss I move off if him and take my phone.

Me: Hey, Scottie. Do you remember the sushi place we went to when we were here the last time? Avi and I are going out for dinner and need to know.

Scott: I don't know if this is the one, but I was actually there for a late lunch and it was heavenly.

He attaches a screenshot of the address so I don't have to search anymore. I quickly call to book a table for two and then wait for Avi to come out of the shower, because I am ripe, too. Plus I want to look good for him.

"You look beautiful, Mitch" Avi compliments me when I leave the bathroom a while later and sit down on the bed to put on my shoes.

I smile at him. "Thanks. And you're so handsome" I return. He dressed up as well, is wearing dark jeans together with a black dress shirt and the necklace I had bought him back in Europe when we were shopping.

"Thank you, dear" he says and turns to grab his leather jacket. "Ready to go?"

I nod swiftly and get up to grab myself a jacket as well.

"Wow, you're taller than I am in this shoes" he notices as I walk up to him.

"Is it okay for you?" I ask slightly unsure. Lately I've been into shoes with heels a lot. Usually I would wear those with smaller heels but for tonight I chose my favourite pair, black with a small platform and four inches heel total, which made me appear a little bit taller than Avi.

"Are you kidding me, Babe?" He exclaims and takes my hand. "Have you ever looked in the mirror? Seen what those heels do to your legs? Especially when you're wearing those sinfully tight pants."

"Stop it, Avi" I say and look down. I'm blushing, but smiling nevertheless.

"Never. You should get used to it" he quips and softly places his free hand under my chin up to move my head upwards. He leans down to peck my lips. "Let's go, the uber will be here soon."

He takes my hand and together we go out of the room and to the elevator. We hold hands until the doors open at the ground floor and reveal a young, familiar woman. I automatically want to pull my hand away but Avi holds it tight.

"It's okay, she knows I'm seeing someone" he says quietly to me before smiling at her. "Hey, Judy."

"Avi and Mitch. So he's the one you're seeing?" She wants to know, looking at our intertwined hands with a knowing look on her face. She seems to be kind.
