I wake up to Emma asleep on the other side of the hotel room. I stretch out my arms and thinking about how much fun I had with Emma and some new girls we met on the tour. I look at my phone to see a message from Brad.
From: Esso Morning love! Can't wait to see you today!
I smile widely.
To Esso: Can't wait either ♡♡
I get up and head to the shower. By the time I got out of the shower with a towel around my body, Emma was awake and dressed.
"Good morning," she sings braiding her hair.
"Good morning, I really want to thank you again," I say grabbing my clothes.
"Its problem Ang, just make sure you have good time, or I will personally beat him up."
"Ok dad," I sarcastically said and rolled my eyes. "Ok real question though, skirt or pants?" She tilts her head a little and then closes her eyes and lets her hand chose. She ended up chosing the skirt and was lowkey wanting it so it was a win-win situation.

I look in the mirror before i go... I took a deep breath and get the butterflies when i get a text from Brad.
From Esso: To Ma Fraise:
Outside :)
From Ma Fraise: To Esso:
Ok :)
I walk down the hall and into the elevator. Once the doors open I see him in his glasses and his beautiful curls. I smile and he smiles back.
"Hello love," he says kissing my cheek, "how was your morning?"
"It was great thank you, how about yours?," I smile. He grabs my hand and tells me about the busy days he has had.
As we get into the car, I ask him, "So when do what are we doing on this magical evening?"
"That is for me to know and you to wonder," he winks at me and I smile at his dorkiness.
We talked through out our drive and laughed at little things like what we did as a kid and the reaction of our moms when we did them. When the Uber driver stopped at a red light and Brad looks at me and gives a bandana that was already folded.
"I want this to be a surprise, could you cover your eyes?" He asked, I giggled at his question and nodded my head. We continued talking which was weird because now I can't see his beautiful face.
I feel the car come to a stop. "Ok we are here, but I will get of the car first and help you," I nodded understanding. I hear the car have two slams but I was confused...unless the Uber driver was coming with us ?
I felt the cool air on my skin and Brad's soft hand on mine. Butterflies were flying everywhere.
When we started walking, I hear water and children's laughter from the distance. Brad stops me and I feel him taking off the blind fold off my head. When it was off I stared into his beautiful brown eyes and his smile that made me weak to the knees.
"Wah-la," he says showing me this beautiful set next to a lake.

"Brad...this is beautiful," I say.
"You think so?" He says stuffing his hands in his pockets.
"Yes," I turned to him and hugged my arms around his neck and his arms around my waist. He smells so good. We look at each other for a second, for we both wanted to lean in but felt shy, we both blushed and Brad stated, "want to eat?"
"Who doesn't?" I respond and he laughs, making me smile. "You know you have a contagious smile."
"You don't say?" He says smiling making me me smile.
"Stoppp, I know you know that," I giggle.
"Yeah I've been told, but I like hearing it from you," he says grabbing my hand. I blush.
"Stop being a flirt," I joked and he smiles making me smile and making him laugh which makes me laugh.
Brad, you need to stop being cute.
"Okay as long as you do first," he says looking at me while biting a pizza slice in his mouth.
"I'm sorry?"
"You know, you said 'Brad, you need to stop being cute', and I responded 'okay as long as you do first," he says taking another bite and smiles while eating. I blush In embarrassment.

"I don't understand," he says drinking out of his ice tea.
"What is it that you don't understand?"
"Why no one has asked you to be their girlfriend..." he says looking at me. I study him and the way he is laying down and his arm propped up to keep him up. I look down and start playing with the flowers.
"You sound like my grandpa," I giggle.
"But I'm serious, like how in the bloody hell are you not taken, not that I'm not happy, because you know..."I smiled and rolled my eyes at his cliché statement.
"I guess no one took interest?" I guessed. He looks at me funny. "What?" I giggled.
He shakes his head and smiles,"nothing...I guess I'm just glad you're mine," and he looks at the water
"Well if it's—wait yours?" my heart flutters. He looks at me and blushed.
"Sorry I meant—" I cut him off.
"No it's fine. I like it," I smile and so does he. He gets up and asks for my hand, I grabbed it and he pulled me close.
"Hey Siri, play some Frank Sinatra," I giggle at his command at his phone, as 'You make me feel so young' plays. As we danced we felt drops of rain come down, then it came down hard. We looked at each other and laughed. We put and grabbed all the picnic stuff in the basket and ran under a tree near by.
We started laughing and looked at each other for we knew. We came closer together, he put his hands under my jaw and I put my arms around his waist. He kissed my lips and I kissed back. The warmth of his mouth had took away all the chills in my body and gave me warmth. His tongue has slipped into my mouth. And we were like that for a while, as if we been together for years, it felt so natural. My body is fluttering with thousand of butterflies.
Our lips separate and we smile at each other. He intertwines his hand with mine. He grabbed the basket as I covered us with the blanket.
We get in the car and he brings my body closer to his. He kisses me on the forehead and puts his arm around my shoulders.
