The first morning officially living at Bens house was pretty exciting actually. We had put some of my stuff away until both of us decided 1:30 was a pretty good time to go to bed. I curled up on my left side, Ben wrapping himself around me. When I had woken up, he still kept his arm across mine, rubbing my arm with his thumb. A very light "good morning" left my lips as I slowly turned my body towards him. We laid in that position for a while, simply admiring one another.

We both headed to the kitchen, creating a lovely brunch at around 12:15. I turned on my Spotify playlist, containing many songs ranging from show tunes to pop to classic rock. Ben and I sang to most every line as we prepared the food. I was chopping up some veggies for an omelet when "Something To Believe In" came on. I played the role of Katherine Plumber to Bens Jack Kelly, dancing around the small space while quoting every line perfectly. I knew from that instant that this moment was how I wanted to spend every morning. Everything was right.

After our scrumptious meal, I went to get dressed for the day. I put on a black crop top with the "Friends" logo on the front and some acid washed ripped jeans. I didn't notice Ben walked into the room until my boyfriend pulled me closer to him, slithering his hands around my exposed waist.

"God, you're beautiful"

I held my hands over his large ones as I continued to stare at myself in the mirror, swaying with the gorgeous man I was lucky enough to call mine. His warm body pressed up against mine as he laid kisses down on the top of my head down to my neck and even further to my shoulders. He eventually broke away, leaving me wanting more.

"I have to go, interview with Tyler Mount today"

He grinned at me in the mirror, stepping towards his closet. He shuffled through 5 or 6 shirts before landing on a maroon button up. I sat and watched him get ready, as creepy as that may sound. I was so in love with him, everything he did and said. All of the little things to massive ones, from the way he fidgeted when he gets nervous to the perfection of the way he holds me in his arms.

"I love you." The phrase escaped my lips in a slightly awkward manner, though I didn't feel nervous or anything.

"I'm in love with you, really"I laughed off the phrase, realizing that perhaps I shouldn't say everything that is on my mind. You never know how someone will react to your display of affection whilst being stared at.

No words were spoken between us past then, only the 6'1 man walking towards me, 3 buttons still undone. Taking my hands, he helped me to my feet, pulling my face upwards to his. His hazel eyes caught my attention before his soft lips pressed against my own, our mouths moving in sync with passion, his actions conveying the feelings shared among us. His left hand planted on the side of my cheek during the embrace, making my red cheeks even warmer. I could've stayed like that forever with him, unfortunately, he had to be in Tyler's studio in about an hour.

"I'll be home soon" He picked up his keys from the counter, pulling the door shut behind him. I felt like some married couple in a 1950s sit-com, almost picturing ben in the era's very famous slicked back hair and myself in a knee-length dress. The image flooded out of my mind as I heard the engine rev from a car outside. I looked out the window, seeing Ben wave goodbye from within the car.

I texted Ben telling him we would be having dinner later that night, not really expecting him to see it immediately or anything. I did, however, want to surprise him. He does so much for me every day so the least I could do is a simple night out.

I rummaged through my half of the closet until I stumbled on a little black cocktail dress with gold studs around the neckline. I paired it with black pumps and a gold clutch, then headed for nails and makeup. The woman at the nail salon did french tips and the very sweet young girl at Sephora did a natural makeup look. If I do say so myself, I looked stunning. I had picked up a gorgeous black watch for Ben as a gift and drove to my last stop- Victorias Secret.

I looked around the pink store, sifting through lots of undergarments and walking through aisles of makeup and perfume. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of the most gorgeous lingerie set I've ever seen. It was black and pink, almost completely lace. Obviously, I had to get it, you never know how your night will end up.

Around 6:30, it was time for me to go meet Ben at the restaurant. We were going to The Shakespear, an upscale restaurant, which was about 45 minutes away for me. After arriving, it didn't take me long to find my boyfriend. He was in all black, from his blazer to his button down to his slacks and shoes. He looked......well, hot.

"Hey gorgeous" He grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to him. He started to kiss my head and down my neck.

"Not now"I whispered, followed by a slight laugh from being so giddy. "Oh! I have something for you"

I pulled the watch box out of the small clutch and handed it to Ben. I couldn't really tell if he liked it or not at first, he just kind of stood there staring at it.

"You know, if you don't like it we can take it back. I just thought it looked nice."

"Y/N, I love it. I'm just trying to remember if it's our anniversary or something"

We both laughed at the statement. A couple seconds later, the waiter led us to our table. We both got drinks and resumed the conversation.

"Seriously y/n, you look absolutely stunning. I'm the luckiest man on earth"

His compliment made my heart flutter and face blush. He spent pretty much the rest of dinner complimenting me in different ways. I felt like a child with all of my giddiness. We held hands over the table as we ate, definitely the cutest couple there.

We both left in our separate cars, getting home around 9:30. I got inside first, stripping my heels off. Ben ran in behind me and picked me up from behind. He laid kisses down my neck with vigor, telling me I looked great in between each one. He finally put me down, letting me wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him. We stumbled back to the bedroom, falling on the king-sized bed. He reached behind me, unzipping my dress and exposing the undergarments I had bought previously that afternoon.

"God, you're beautiful"

I practically ripped his shirt and blazer off while kicking my dress the rest of the way off. He unzipped his slacks and hovered over top of me. My arms wrapped around his neck, our eyes locking as I bit my lip.

I think you can tell how our night ended from there...
