Christopher Velez Imagines

18. Date night

The soft chill music from Chris's playlist played throughout the silent car. Chris's large hand rested on my thigh. He traced random shapes onto my skin making chills form on my body. He would occasionally glance over at me and smile a little, making my heart run wild.

We have both been busy with work, so we haven't really seen each other. The only time we speak is before bed, and that's only if I'm not asleep. Chris decided that we need to have a night just for ourselves since we had a day off.

Chris also wanted to surprise me and not tell me what he has planned. He told me to wear a sweatshirt and leggings. The sun was setting which meant that there would be a lot of traffic in downtown Toronto.

"Do you know where we're going yet? Chris asked, looking in the rearview mirror before cutting another car off to get into the other lane.

"No, I have no clue." I said, shaking my head.

He licked his lips and smiled before looking over at me, "You're going to love it baby."

Chris made a turn off the main road onto a red dirt road. His headlights shined onto the towering trees and bushes. The surroundings looked familiar, but I couldn't figure out exactly where we were since it was dark.

Chris got out of the car and jogged over to my side to open the door for me. I smiled and got out. The dry leaves crunched under my boots as Chris and I walked hand in hand down the dock.

I gasped realizing that there were fluffy blankets lined up with pillows and a lunch basket. I looked over at Chris with a smile. His cheeks were a light shade of pink as he looked at me with a small smile.

"It's kind of cheesy, but I thought you might like it." Chris shrugged, taking my hand in his as he guided me down to the dock.

"Like it? I love it!" I said smiling widely.

We sat down beside each other onto the black velvety blanket. Chris reached out for the picnic basket. He pulled out a bunch of our favorite snacks and drinks such as chips, strawberries, sodas, water, candies, anything you could think of, he had.

"This is amazing baby." I said pecking his cheek before grabbing a chocolate covered strawberry.

"I'm glad you like it." He said with a mouthful of skittles.

Once Chris and I finished eating, we both laid down into the comfy blankets and pillows and looked up at the shining stars in the dark night sky. Chris threw the other fuzzy blanket over us and wrapped his arm around me pulling close to his body.

"I love you so much." Chris said softly.

"I love you too." I said tilting my head up to look at him.

"I'm sorry I haven't been able to spend time with you. It's just been hectic with the new album and trying to get everything ready for you. I shouldn't push you to the side." He shook his head and sighed, "I promise that's going to change." He said before placing a warm sweet kiss into my lips. I melted into the kiss and kissed him back with passion.

"What do you say we head back home?" He asked with a smirk.

I smiled and bit my lip, "I say that sounds like a plan.
