_Asher POV_

It would be a lie if I said to myself that I wasn't anxious. I was very anxious about this date. Never in my life have I ever had any type of anxious or any type highly strung. I always was confident about everything that I did and I put my mind to it.

But this, this is different from everything. This isn't a business meeting or me meeting an important client. This is about my life and the love of my life, Faressa. Everything has to be perfect for tonight. Nothing can go wrong. This has to be flawless.

Looking to my side, I can see her look through the car window. She looked breathtaking in that green dress and especially with her hair down. This is my first time seeing her without any hijabi on and Yah Allah, did she look gorgeous. Don't get this wrong or anything. She looks beautiful with hijab one but to me, she looks amazing with a hijab on or without it.

I stopped the car at a parking lot. Spinning my head around, I smiled at her and she smiled back. Her smile can brighten up my sad, sorrowful day.

"I am going to blindfold you right now. So you don't peek." I instructed. I had done a lot of research for this date and I can't believe that I actually went on to google to find ideas because I wanted her to be happy.

"What if I fall?" her brown eyes looked at me.

"You won't. I promise" I guaranteed

Her back face me. Taking the blindfold from my pocket, I wrapped it around her delightful eyes. I moved back and she faces me again.

"I am going to get out and open the door on your side. Don't move" I ordered strictly

"Okay, Jeez. Don't need to order me around" she muttered under her breath

She thought that I didn't hear her but I heard her. Throwing my head back, I released a loud laughter, causing her to blush. She softly spoke under her breath about and this time I didn't hear her.

Opening the door to my side, I got out and ran to her side. Grabbing the door handle, I unfastened the door. Taking her hand in mine, I led her out the car and then I place my hand on her lower back, guiding her to our dinner place.

Right now, I pray that she likes the place that I worked on her hard!

(3rd POV)

She clenches her fists tightly until her nails dig into the palm of her hand, but she barely notices. The only thing she is really aware of is the sound of her heart throbbing against the cage of her chest. It's not until she looks into the mirror, that she's aware she's been biting her lip so badly it's bleeding.

The pounding of her heart could be heard from miles away. Asher gave a gentle squeeze to her hand, telling her that it's alright. He unfolded the blind and moved it away. Her brown eyes opened and they held nothing but shock.

This as very surprising for her. The place was designed beautifully. It was outstanding. The best part was that it was outside not an inside date with one of those boring rooms. In the center of the wood, there was a white table with two chairs on each side. Balloon lights were hanging on the tree and candles were on the ground.
