Invisible String

Secret Calls

They walk by the bay together and Joe suddenly leads her to a less crowded place where she finds only one table decorated with flowers and lights. The sight of the sun going down looks so mesmerising in this moment. The sky has turned into a purple pinkish color, making it look even more romantic.

"This is so beautiful," She murmurs and tightens her grip around his hand.

"I'm glad that you like it."

"I love it," She blushes in awe.

Joe pulls out the seat for Taylor and she sits down smiling. She looks at him lovingly when he takes his seat across her. He sighs and holds her hand to caress her knuckles.

"Should we order the food?"

"Don't worry everything is managed," He grins. When he signals to the waiters, they bring the dishes on their table.

"All your favourites," He winks.

"When did you even plan all of these?" Her eyes widen in surprise.

"Don't worry about that. Let's just enjoy our time together."

"Can I have a little bit of champagne?"

"Is that allowed? I mean you're breastfeeding..."

"An occasional light drinking wouldn't hurt. Also I've already pumped out the food for him."

"Okay then. But a little bit."

"Yeah yeah," She rolls her eyes.

"Feisty much?" He grins pouring a little bit champagne for her.

"You like that, don't you?"

"Yeah I am obsessed."

"I understand."

As Taylor starts eating her food, a guy with a guitar arrives at the spot and starts playing a romantic song for them. She scoffs and looks at Joe.

"Today is so full of surprises."

"I guess so," He shrugs.

"How many left?" She looks at him with sneaky eyes.

"This is the last one," He tries to suppress his smile.

"Alright," She chuckles and digs into the meal again.

When the main course is over, The waiter serves them chocolate ice cream.

"I see what you did there."

"In the remembrance of the first time I kissed you."

"Yeah. It was chaotic."

"Can I kiss you again?" He asks her and she grins like a little kid.

"Am I blushing too much?" She nods as Joe leans in to peck her lips.

"You look beautiful today."

"Thanks," She blushes again.

They enjoy their time with the slow music and the beautiful scenario at the bay.

"You still haven't told me about your secret calls," She pokes on his arms after a while.

"Do you wanna know?"

"Of course. Let's see who are you having affair with."

Joe chuckles and takes her hand.

"I was talking to Andrea."

"Mom? Why?"

"To ask her if I can marry her daughter again," He shrugs casually.

"Excuse me?" Taylor looks at him being surprised, trying to understand if she heard it correct.
