I was told to close my eyes and put my full trust in Blake - which i found fairly easy. His hand was firmly gripping mine and George was walking closely behind me as his hands were over my eyes.
"We're at some stairs, i'll tell you when we're at the last step" Blake instructed.
With each step i took, i felt my stomach twist with excitement and confusion.
I take the last step and he puts my hands against a door - George's hands are still over my eyes and i hear the familiar voice of B start talking.
"Remember when we were in Paris?" I nod, "and i took you to the rooftop?" I nod again, "i thought i was up my game a little and bring you here, push the door open"
I feel the weight of George's hands lift from my face and i open my eyes.
I'm speechless.
It's perfect.
All i can do is look in Blake's eyes and embrace him for his efforts.
"It's perfect, thankyou" i whisper into his ear. He holds me tighter then encourages me to go in.
A white gazebo, covered with lights and fake ivy winding up the legs. Beneath, perfectly set out pillows and covers and most importantly the picnic basket of food in the middle. I have my priorities.
I turn to the others with the widest smile that i was sure could light up the night sky of London.
We all stroll towards to blanket and sit in our designated places. Blake and I have the view of the whole of London lit up by the man-made lights. The stars and the moon all positioned perfectly in their disorderly ways.
As the night passes by into early midnight and the food decreasing Blake stands up and puts his champagne to the sky.
"I would like to take this time to celebrate our tour and to celebrate the fact that my fian- girlfriend is being cured. Addy, my love, i adore you and i have never experienced love at first sight until i laid my eyes upon you. One day i hope to raise our own family with Lily by our side. I would also like to announce that during the tour we are visiting Paris as a day off and i would like to take you all to the top of the Eiffel tower! There will be a surprise waiting for us at the top, thankyou" he sits back down beside me and we carry on with our night.
It is now becoming sunrise and Blake and I are stumbling our way back to our home. Small drunken conversations are fading in and out.
We arrive back and we wonder through the dark halls because we're too dumb to turn a light on.
"How about we go back to our room" Blake whispers.
"That was m..my plan because i'm tired and i need my bed"
I honestly thought he was going to propose tonight but i guess it's not our time, yet.
