"THIS IS DUMB." I blurted out.

Giovanni said he had a surprise for me, I thought it would be jewelry or something but now that I'm blindfolded as we both walk in the woods at night I have no idea what it is.

"We are almost there." He whispered in my ear.

Lately, I have been so tired in the morning, my vision is messed up like I have to have one eye shut, and it lasts for an hour or so. Then, at night I have long blackouts and during the day I randomly.

I hate the side effects of being pregnant.

He held me tight as he guided me through the forest, as we continued to walk through the forest he let me go. I stopped in my tracks and silently waited for him. "Giovanni?" I called out.

I pressed my lips together and slowly lifted the blindfold. The tall old trees towered above me like skyscrapers, warm light shining down through the branches. Turning around my heart fell to the ground when I saw lit candles and fairy lights hanging from the branches of the trees, a red blanket neatly placed on the ground with a bucket full of ice a bottle of champagne, and two wine glasses placed next to the bucket.

Besides the bucket is a basket, with red petals scattered on the grass.

It looked beautiful.

"What is this?" I giggled.

Giovanni awkwardly scratched the back of his neck as he took slow steps toward me. "Since we are official, I wanted to show you the part of me you've never seen."

"Mr. Carson, I never took you as the romantic type," I said, wrapping my hands around his neck. He chuckled and pulled me closer. "There are some things about me that might surprise you."

I raised a brow and smirked, I leaned in whispering against his mouth. "And there are some things about me that might surprise you."

He bit his lower lip as he tried to fight back a smile, turning his head to the side Giovanni mumbled something to himself.

I gently grasped his chin with my thumb and index finger then slowly turned his head to face me. "What?" I questioned as he stared into my eyes.

He looked at me like there are a million things he wants to say but doesn't even know where to begin.

Warmth rushed into my cheeks. "Giovanni..."

"Dance with me." He said out of nowhere. I narrowed my eyes. "Dance with you..." I added. "With what music?"

Giovanni caught me off guard when he locked our fingers together and lifted me off the ground. He spun us around, a shiver ran down my spine as the wind tickled my skin.

I held on to him tight and buried my head in the crook of his neck. I laughed hysterically. ''Giovanni put me down!"

He chuckled as his chest vibrated against mine. He gently placed me on the ground, and I immediately felt dizzy, losing my balance. I was about to fall but Giovanni caught me.
