A small laugh came from me, "I'm not wearing anything special" I reminded him.

He then looked at me in confusion, "You look good in whatever you wear"

This man... he's something else.

I smiled back at him before complimenting his appearance. He looked hot, as usual.

"Where are you taking me?" I asked as he began driving.

It was just last night when he texted me about the date, asking if I would be available. He told me to dress comfortably.

"I can't say. That would ruin the surprise Bella" He spoke out, a hint of amusement in his voice.

I groaned out before facing the window, "What if I don't like surprises?" I asked.

I heard as he chuckled at my response, making my heart race even more. The way he makes me feel... it scares me because I have no control.

I can't help but feel like I'm relying on him more than before, it's like I need him to be there for me.

"Well then, that's too bad bambolina"

About thirty minutes had passed before the car came to a stop. Before I could look outside Cole had wrapped a cloth around my eyes, the darkness welcoming me.

I would've been nervous if anyone else were to do something like this. But with Cole, I trust him.

A small smile made its way on my face as I touched the blindfold, "Is blindfolding me really necessary?" I teased.

"Are you complaining? If so, we could always go back" He spoke out, his tone telling me that he was now teasing me.

I then heard shuffling followed behind the car door opening and shutting. It wasn't too long before my door was opened and Cole helped me get out.

As he led me forward I couldn't help but wonder what he had planned. I doubt it's another restaurant...

After a few moments I noticed the ground was now soft, like a blanket?

Just as I opened my mouth to say something, Cole began to remove the cloth from my eyes.

Opening my eyes, I first noticed all of the lights that decorated the trees. There were a few pillows that had been spread around the table in front of us.

When did he have time to do all of this?

"Wait just a second" He quickly spoke out from behind me before rushing back to the car.

I couldn't help but smile as I looked at everything, noticing the little gift bag on the table.

Out of all the people I've dated or talked to, they never did anything like this. Cole's really one of a kind...

He then came back a few moments later with a small pan and a bottle of wine. I watched in silence as he placed the items on the table before turning towards me.

"I feel like I went overboard... I know you said you wanted to take this slow and I completely understand. I thought taking you to a restaurant would be boring so I asked my sisters for help and- well they kind of took over. I just wanted to show you that I truly care about you-" He began but stopped when I grabbed onto his arm.

I couldn't help but laugh at the site of him being flustered. He was nervous.

"Let's take a few deep breaths alright? I really do love this, it's cute. No one has ever done something like this for me... so thank you" I told him, watching as a small smile formed on his lips.
