Now that Mitch's birthday has gone by, my birthday was here and it was only Thursday as well but it didn't matter, I was turning 23 today and I still had the best boyfriend in the world. But, I woke up without Mitch in my bed and went to the kitchen to see no sign of Mitch either. I heard some shuffling around until Mitch jumped onto my back and scream into my ear.

"Hey-o!" He shouted.

"Oh my god Mitch. You scared me half to death." I joked. He laughed and got off of me and leaned up slightly to kiss me.

"Heh. Happy birthday biggums." He said.

"Thank you. I'm gonna get breakfast started." He said.

"No you're not. Get dressed cause I have a special surprise for you." He said. Oh god. I did as he asked and got dressed in some nice clothes like usual. Once I came out, I looked for my keys which weren't to be found.

"Mitch. Have you seen my keys?" I asked.

"You mean these?" He asked as he jingled my keys in his hand. I smiled and reached for them but he just pulled them back. I gave him a confused look. "Do you know where I'm gonna be taking you?" He asked. I slowly shook my head. "Alright. So I'm gonna be driving and I'm gonna put this blindfold around your eyes and the I'll guide you to the car and we'll get going."

"A-Alright." I stuttered. I knew Mitch had his license but I was still nervous about him driving my car. But wait, what time was it? 

"Wait Mitch, what time is it?" I asked.

"Just before 6. I set your alarm for 5:40 so that's why." He said. Wow. He's really wanting to make the most out of today. I was guided onto the elevator where then I was guided to my car and Mitch helped me set my things down in it while he got in the driver's seat and started the car. 

"Mitch, can you hold my hand please?" I asked. 

"Sure." He said as I felt a warmth on my hand and held it tightly. The car ride was short and smooth. "And we're here. You can take off your blindfold now."

I did exactly that and when I saw it, I was astonished. How have I've not know about this place before? It's called 'Bacca's Paradise' and looks so nice, amazing and fancy. Mitch and I walked in and it was filled with many things from pictures of Chewbacca from Star Wars or other things. 

"Hello. How may I help you?" The waitress asked.

"Table reserved for Mitch." He said.

"Ah yes. Follow me. Right this way." She said as she grabbed two menus and guided us to the special table. 

"Here you two are." She said. "What would you like to drink?"

"We'd both like coffee." He told her.

"Right away. Be right back." And she left. I looked around and then when I looked to my left, I saw why she lead us here. Right there on the wall was a picture of my Minecraft skin that says, "Dedicated to the wonderful and funny Hacksource." The plaque read but there was a small little note card thing on the bottom of it. I took it and looked at it. It was a picture of him and I on the past Christmas. My family took this picture after they found out about us and posted it on Facebook.

"Mitch. This is amazing. I also can't believe I've never heard of it before." I said.

"Well, I don't blame ou for not hearing about a place that's only a week old. When I was thinking of something special to do for you, I was looking on Google and found this place and thought it would be perfect for you. When I rode my bike here last weekend, I talked to them and was able to book a reservation and got a little background on why the place opened up. They said they did it because they love Chewbacca from Star Wars plus they loved this youtuber by the name of Hacksource and showed me this plaque and I immediately reserved a reservation for this place right in this exact spot. All just for you." He said. My eyes softened.
