"So where are we heading to?" Roughly 20 minutes passed and Glenn did not mentioned the destination or the plans. He was being tight lipped about it.

"I won't tell you. I want to surprise you. I want you to love today and remember it for the rest of your life."

"I don't remember being your girlfriend to be particularly excited about the 'date' today."

"So you think it's a date huh?" He smirked.

I panicked a little, can't think of ways to counter him. I overthink on certain things sometimes. "I'll take back what I say. So where are you bringing me to? Amigo."

He suddenly grabbed my hand tightly using his free hand.

"You will be my wife. Please take back that amigo instead. It hurts." He gave the puppy look.

I chuckled at his reaction but did not reply. Wife huh? He's thinking too much.

My phone rang, it is Zen. "Hey what's up?"

"Morning, Harley. What are you doing now? Free later?"

"Nah, I'm going to be busy the whole of today. Glenn is bringing me out. Why? Something important that I'm going to miss?"

"Oh. Have fun then. You're just going to miss me, haha."

"Very funny. See you tomorrow in class then! I have to go, we've just reached our unknown destination."

"Okay see you too."

"Is that Zen? Why he called?" Glenn gave me the questionable look.

I was wondering why Zen sounded so down. "Yeah, but he didn't tell me. Forget it, let's go."

He led me into the glass house restaurant. It was quiet, surrounded by grass patches. So peaceful. On my right is a bar, on my left are the dining tables and a big grand piano is located at the corner, placed one level higher. Glenn pulled the seat for me and we are sitting in front of the piano.

"I've booked the whole restaurant for you. There will be a 5-course meal and another surprise for you. Let's get them to serve the first one." He clapped his hands and two waiters came out with the appetisers. "What do you want to drink, Harley?"

"What do they have here? A glass of ice water will be nice."

"I'll let you try a glass of wine."He signalled forthe standby waiter. "I would like a bottle of TenutaTignanello and two glasses of ice water please."

"Drinking in the day? And a bottle for two? I never drank before, I can't guarantee I'll be able to even finish one glass."

He laughed, "Don't worry so much and let's eat."

The lunch was amazing. We ate and chat about our likes and dislikes. He asked about my family, Zen and hobbies. I asked about his childhood, family and the stress to handle thousands of people working under him. It was so easy to talk to him, he led the conversation so well.

"The last course will be dessert I suppose?" I was already quite full, though the portion is small. The wine made my face slightly pink.

"And its time for the surprise." He smiled his charismatic smile. My heart beat faster than usual. Isn't it a bit unusual for a stalker to charm? I don't even know him that well.

He walked to the grand piano and sat down. Dessert was served the same time he went towards the piano. I pointed at his dessert, he shook his head and smiled to me.

"For you, Harley." He spoke through the mic. The waiters and waitresses all stood behind me, full of envy and praises.

He started playing a tune. I don't know how to appreciate piano pieces but it was a happy tune. I ate my dessert and look at how focused he was on the piano. He looked so breathtakingly handsome that I need to stop that feeling in my heart. I can't fall for someone that easily, yet.

The tune slowly changes to a slow waltz music. The sound felt so smooth, calming and emotional, I reminisced everything right there and then. The piano piece ended with a sad soft ending. I snapped out of it when I heard the piano stool dragging against the floor. Glenn left his seat and walked towards me. He went in front of me, knelt beside me to level with my sitting height.

"Do you like it?" He looked so nervous that he seems to be shivering.

I messed his hair with my hand. "I like it a lot, thank you Glenn. Don't be stressed up, you were amazing. You still are." I smiled at him to ease his tension.

He reached for my cheek and kissed on my forehead. I did not withdraw, it was sweet of him. I felt really loved.

We left the restaurant, giving the remaining bottle of wine to the staffs as an appreciation for their service. It was later I knew that a bottle of that cost about a hundred plus.
