Sugar Rush ✔️

Violet

Today is Valentine's Day. This year, it's on a Saturday, so you know every couple is excited about that.

This will be our first Valentine's Day together and I'm excited. This morning he had 4 dozen roses delivered to me. One for each month we've been together. Each dozen was a shade of pink leading up to red. I thought it was really sweet, but now I have to find somewhere to put all of these roses. There were also many different balloons delivered also.

Aria is with Hector the whole weekend, so I probably won't see her until Monday. Apparently Hector took them on a weekend getaway.

Kostas wouldn't tell me what all he had planned, but he did say we were having dinner at his house, which is unlike him. He loves those fancy restaurants he always take me to.
He said he had a surprise for me and to wear red. I picked a velvet red dress I got during our little shopping spree a few months back. It was simple, but I liked it. It reminds me of that wine he got me hooked on.

I walked outside to see his driver parked in front of the entrance. He opened the door for me and I thanked him.

Once we arrived at his house, I got out of the car. There was a trail of rose petals starting from the front door. I followed them until I got to the enclosed patio, passed the indoor pool. I gasped when I saw the decorations. There was a table set for 2. Surrounding the table were more rose petals that formed a heart. On top of the table were plates, wine glasses and silverware, as well as a bouquet of roses as the centerpiece.There were also fairy lights hanging around the patio. Small candles were lit at each corner of the room. This looks incredible.

"You look beautiful." I heard Kostas say from behind me. I turn around and give him a hug.
"Thank you, this looks amazing." I said and gave him a kiss. He then pulled my chair out and I sat down. Soon enough, two people came out to the patio. One had champagne and the other was pushing a cart with covered trays.

Champagne was poured into our glasses and then our plates began to fill with food. It looked like chicken pasta. I thanked them and picked up my fork.
"Did you cook this?" I ask as the workers walked away. He shook his head. "I had a chef come in to prepare this meal while I was preparing your surprise." He said which caught me off guard.

"This isn't the surprise?" I really thought this setup was it. He shook his head. "Nope, you'll see later, eat up." He said and took of bite. I also took a bite and it was really good, but that should be expected considering Kostas literally hired a professional to make it. I would've told him to get his money back if it was dry.

We talked for a bit and once we finished our food, dessert was brought out. It was tiramisu and it tasted really good. Maybe I'll make this one day.

"Ready for your surprise?" He asked once we finished our dessert.

He walked me up the stairs where there were more rose petals lined up. I feel bad for whoever has to clean this up.
We follow the trail to his room and the door is open. His bed was covered in rose petals and small candles shaped in a heart. This is so sweet, a fire hazard, but sweet nonetheless. There were lots of designer gift bags sat near the pillows.

"You sir, have outdone yourself." I said and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Even if you risked burning down the house." I added and he laughed.

"Worth it." He said and pulled me in for a kiss.
"Now, open your presents."
There were all kinds of brands over here. This stuff must've cost a fortune. I received multiple handbags and purses, as well as some perfume that smelled really good. It was also really strong so you wouldn't need to pile it on.

"Thank you for all of these gifts." I said and hugged him. He kissed my neck and let go.
"Stay right here." He said and walked to the bathroom. While he's gone I start blowing out all of the candles on the bed, they're starting to make me anxious.

I heard water running and him rummaging around. Now what is he planning? The man has been full of surprises today.

He came back out, naked as the day he was born and my eyes widened. "I see you blew out the candles." He acknowledged. "Uh yeah I didn't want them on too long." I said, trying not to look down. He smirked.

"Come on." He said and walked into the bathroom, ass on display.

I walked into the bathroom and was was once again blown away by the set up. The lights were dimmed and the bathtub was filled with bubbles and rose petals scattered on top. There was champagne on the ledge and a tray going across the bath with chocolate covered strawberries and other desserts. There was also more candles lit and a bouquet of roses next to the champagne.
I've never had a Valentine's Day like this.

"Wow..." I said impressed.
I felt him undo the strings of my dress and I slipped out of it. Once everything was off he helped me get into the tub. He pushed the tray down some more so he could get behind me.

"This is really nice, thank you." I grabbed one of the strawberries and they were still cold. They must have brought everything up while we were eating dessert.

"I've come to realize just how much I enjoy being with you. Even when we're apart I still can't help but think of you." He said and I turned my head to look at him. "Really?" He nodded. "I can honestly say I'm happier when I'm with you." He said. I smiled. "Me too." I really am, I'm glad he feels the same way, even though this whole set up kind of proves it.

I gave him a kiss and turned back around to grab another strawberry. These are so easy to make, yet I haven't had them in so long.

"Is it too early to say I love you?" He said and I paused and my eyes widened.
I turned around. "You do?"
"Yes, you don't have to say it back. I just wanted to.." I put my hand over his mouth before he started ranting.

"I love you too."
