Chapter Twenty Two

Emilio's P.O.V.

After I had gotten everything together, and by the time I finished shopping, I headed back to the apartment complex.

Now, it was 10 in the morning and I doubt Rose had waken up yet, as she usually sleeps in whenever she can.

I drive into the complex, parking my car into the space, getting out and leaving all the stuff in the car for later, except I pull out a single purple rose.

I then make my way up the elevators, tapping my foot impatiently as I think about how I will do everything. Sooner than I think, the elevator doors open to our floor.

I walk out calmly, walking up to Rose's apartment and slowly opening the door, and sneaking in.

I go up to her room, grabbing her guitar next to her bed and laying it on my lap ready to play.

I then strum the guitar, playing a song I had written awhile ago. I'm not the best singer so I would rather just play the guitar itself.

I continue strumming, seeing Rose's eyes slowly open; her long, thick, eyelashes rising up to her eyebrows. Immediately she sees me strumming and she sits up, rubbing her eyes cutely, a smile plastered on her face.

She then swings her slim legs over the edge of the bed, watching me intensely as I continue to play, reaching for the purple rose I had brought up with me.

Her smile grows bigger, if possible, as she delicately grabs the rose from my hand, staring at it slightly before wrapping her arms around my neck quickly.

I place the guitar next to me, careful so I wouldn't break it; and wrapping my arms around Rose's waist. I feel her head placed in my neck, holding on tightly.

"Go on a date with me tonight?" I whisper in her ear, playing with her hair, waiting for a response.

"Yes of course!" She exclaims, letting go of my neck, facing me. I look down at her lips, wanting to place mine against her plump ones. As I lean in, she smiles, and pulls away quickly.

I groan in annoyance, wanting to kiss her already.

"Why won't you let me kiss you?" I ask, looking as she walks away into the bathroom.

"I have morning breath!" She calls out as I hear the sink water running and the slight sound of brushing.

"And? I don't care." I say back, getting up and walking into the bathroom with her. "Okay so I'll pick you up at 5 for our date okay?" I tell her, wrapping my arms around her waist and placing my head into the crook of her neck.

"Okay." She answers back, a goofy grin on her face as she turns around in my arms; kissing me softly on the lips.

"Ill see you later then okay princesa?" I tell her, letting her go and walking out.

"Okay!"

I walk out of her apartment, making my way into the elevator. I think about the sceduele for today, knowing exactly what I am going to do to ask her.

Finally, I had set everything up.

I was able to convince the owner of the Griffin Observatory in Los Angeles to let me use a part of it for my date.

I had set up everything in this small patch of grass that was on the edge of a cliff, observing the whole city.

The lights were everywhere, the city wide awake.

The view was spectacular and absolutely breathtaking.

It was 4:30, so I made my way out of the observatory, and into the parking lot; getting into my car.

As I drive back to the apartment I think about the night, hoping everything will go as smoothly as I hope.

I look over to the passengers seat seeing the small turquoise box, grabbing it I slip it into my pocket. I then continue driving to the apartment to pick up Rose.

Rose's P.O.V.

I put the final touches on my hair, the wavy ringlets cascading down my back to my waist. I grab the hair spray and spray only a little into my hair, assuring it will keep the locks in place.

I had on a simple light pink skirt, with a see through shirt.

It was a little it on the sexy side, but I definitely loved it.

As I finish slipping on some black heels, I hear my doorbell ringing throughout my apartment, meaning Emilio was here.

I sprit some perfume before heading down the stairs carefully, making sure I trip over my own feet.

I safely make my way to the door, opening it and seeing a handsome boy I am hopelessly falling in love with more and more each day.

I take a good look at him, seeing him dressed in all black, wearing his white yeezys he just adores. After I finish checking him out, I look up to meet his eyes, still seeing his eyes glued to my body.

"Are you going to check me out the whole night or are we going on this date?" I laughed, grabbing his large, masculine hand in mine.

"Well I wouldn't mind doing the first thing." He suggestively says, playfully winking at me, causing me to bust out laughing as he leads us to the elevators.

"You look super beautiful tonight flor." He whispers in my ear, sending butterflies throughout my stomach, as the elevator drops to the next floors.

"You look hot." I say, slightly biting my lip, looking up at his tall figure.

He just smirks down at me, leaning in close to me, kissing my lips.

As we are in the middle of the kiss, the elevator doors open, the dinging sound heard throughout the elevator.

We walk out into the parking lot, hand in hand, getting into Emilio's car.

We start driving and me not being able to handle the surprise, I start to ask questions.

"Where are we going?" I ask impatiently, looking over at Emilio concentrated on the road.

"That's a surprise." He responds, a cheeky smile on his face.

I groan in response, throwing my head back on the seat, looking out in front of me trying to figure out where we are going.
