When I tried it on at the store I knew it was the one

as I was looking at my dress I was snapped out of my daze by a knock on the door

"Come in" I shout

"Your boyfriend downstairs" Roman mumbles

Ever since I started dating Nico all my brothers have been VERY pouty

"Thanks for telling me roro," I say kissing him on the cheek hoping that will cheer him up

He gives me a soft smile and we walk together to the entrance

All my brothers were there glaring at Nico as if he stole something precious from them

Nico had his back facing me so I decided to joke with him

I go up from behind him and jump on him

"Hi babe"

"Hi love," he said before giving me a kiss

"Alright that's enough kissing" roman mumbles

"Agreed" the rest mutter

I just laugh but get off Nico back

"Val I can always give you a piggyback ride don't gotta use HIS back," Vinnie says

"I'll keep that in mind, anyways what are you doing here?" I ask Nico

"I thought we could hang out today"

"AGAIN?" Elijah yells

Ignore Elijah comment and say

"Sure let me get ready"

I run up the stairs and quickly go through my closet until I was satisfied with the outfit

once I was done I run down the stairs

"Tell dad that I am going out with Nico," I tell Xavier

He nods in understatement

I bid goodbye to all my brothers with a kiss on the cheek after I was done saying goodbye Nico and I walked out with our hands linked

"Where are we going?"

"That's a secret" he smirks

Every time I ask where we are going he says it's a 'secret'

I roll my eyes but follow him to the car

NEVER let nico guide you when you're blindfolded

I almost died 3 times because he didn't warn me about anything

"Alright you can open them now"

When I opened my eyes I saw a blanket on the floor with a bunch of my favorite foods and drinks around

I turn around and put my hands around Nico's waist pulling him into a hug

"Thank you" I mumble into his chest

"Ofc ангел now shall we eat?"

We talked and talked for hours until it was dark

"Oh wow time passes by so fast," I say

"It only felt like an hour, to be honest"

"What time is it?" I ask

"11:53"

"Hm" is all I say

I put my head on Nico's shoulder and lay there for a bit

It was quiet but a peaceful quiet

"Can I ask you something ?" I ask

"sure"

"When did you realize you liked me?"

"The day I laid eyes on you, specifically when you looked at me"

"what do you mean when I looked at you"

"When you looked at me I saw fierceness but a mixture of sadness. at that moment I just wanted to protect you but when I watched you from afar I knew that you didn't need anyone to protect you but even then I just wanted to be by you"

I didn't know what to say or what to do

"Thank you," I say

"For what?"

"Because you showed me what love was, I mean I had my families love but that is different from lovers love and you showed me what a lovers love is"

"Actually when I was a 15 I was in a relationship with this guy. At first, he was nice and caring but after he turned emotionally abusive and manipulative. I didn't wanna accept that he was a bad person but after he cheated on me I snapped out of my daze and then broke up with him, after that, I didn't trust anyone with my heart but I first you with it I just hope you won't take advantage of it" I confess

Nico hugs me right and whispers

"Thank toy for trusting me"

I give him a soft smile when suddenly fireworks go off

I look at the fireworks in awe

When I turn to see if nico was watching too he held out a necklace

"Happy birthday my love"
