 "What's wrong? Are you ok" Fitz asked. All Sophie could do was stare. This was the restaurant that she had wanted to go to when they went shopping at the outlets the other day. "Sophie your really scaring me. Are you ok?" Sophie turned to Fitz and kissed him. "I'm more than ok. Fitz this is the restaurant that me and the girls passed on our way to the outlets and I really wanted to come here." Fitz smiled. "Great, well let's go inside. I've already reserved our table." They walked inside and a waiter came up to greet them. "Reservation?" Fitz nodded. "Yes table for two." The waiter smiled and grabbed their menus. "Right this way please. Follow me." They followed the waiter outside and she sat them down at a table that had a glorious view of the ocean. They sat down and the waiter walked away. "So where did you go for breakfast this morning" Fitz asked. "Oh umm Parkveiw. I had this delicious cheese omelet with shallots on top and these three little pastries that had a different kind of jam in each of them with icing drizzled on top. I had the strawberry, blueberry, peach mango ones." Fitz smiled. The waiter came back with a pitcher of water. She filled their glasses. "Any wine for you guys tonight?" She asked. She lowered her voice. "We have a special kind that we call fizzle berry. It's a berry drink that comes in either red or white, and it's got no achohol in it." Sophie smiled. "I'll take a red fizzle berry please" she said. The waiter smiled. She turned to Fitz "And for you?" "I'll have the same." The waiter jotted down their order and walked off. Sophie's phone beeped. It was Biana. This is what Biana actually typed. I'll put what the abbreviations mean in a bracket after the message

Oml [oh my lord]  Tam just gave me the most beautiful bracelet ever! I just love him so much he's tkg [taking]  me too the beach right now so we can take a walk 

Some of my abbreviations are funky sorry. I have to tell my friends what they mean sometimes. It just makes it easier to type when you have to play in like 5 minutes and you have to answer an important question 

"It's Biana. She got this cute  bracelet from Tam and she was saying how much she loves him. They are going to the beach right now to take a walk." Fitz laughed. The waiter came back and asked for their food order. "I'll have the salmon and scallops with asparagus and a baked potato on the side" Sophie said. The waiter jotted that down. "And for you?" "I'll have the rib eye medium rare, and a salad and a side of mashed potatoes please." The waiter jotted his order down and collected their menus before hurrying off. "So I take it she's happy." "Yep." Sophie looked out at the ocean. Fitz took her hand and rubbed small circles on the back of her hand. She looked at him and smiled, a small giggled escaping her lips. "Fitz, how did you find this place" she asked. "Ansley and Brian took us out to see the city the first day we were here so we could find places to take you guys on our date." Sophie giggled. "What?" Sophie shook her head. "Nothing." "No. Seriously what" Fitz pushed. "Ok well Biana came up with the idea to gather up all your guys stuff and put them in our rooms. We used Ansley and Brian to stall you guys while we worked." Fitz smiled. "I still can't believe you said yes. You don't know how happy that made me" he said. "I still can't believe you asked me. That made my day. Nothing could have erased that joy I felt when you told me you like me and asked me to be your girlfriend." Pretty soon, their food came and they ate happily. Half way through their meal, the sun started to set. Sophie looked out at the ocean and the at Fitz. His eyes glowed brighter and he caught her looking.Sophie couldn't help but to smile and giggle, wrinkling her nose in a cute way as she did so. "What" Fitz asked. "The sunset makes your eyes glow. It's cute." Fitz smiled. They finished eating and the waiter asked about desert. "Sure. Why not" Sophie replied. They got a slice of triple chocolate cheesecake to share. When they finished that, they payed and left by the beach exit. Sophie leaned on Fitz as she took off her heels. She held her dress up with her free hand and waited while he took off his. They walked in the water for a while, finding a solitary spot. Sophie handed Fitz her shoes. "Hold these" she said. When he took them, Sophie dug around in her purse and pulled out a box. She handed it to Fitz, taking back her shoes. "Open it" she said, smiling and biting her lip. He opened it and smiled he pulled the watch free and put it on. "I love it. Thank you" he said, giving her a hug. He pulled away and took her shoes again, handing her a bag. She pulled out the note first. I'm warning you I'm nkt the best at writing love notes so sorry if this is really bad. It said

Sophie

I'm so happy, more than you could imagine, that you said that you liked me. When I look at you, all I see is perfection. I love the way your  beautiful chocolate brown eyes shine bright whenever your happy, your gold flecks sparkling in the sunlight. I love the way your hair falls around your shoulders, framing your face. I love your laugh, how it sounds like birds singing. I love hearing you say my name. The way you run your hands through my hair, the way my body shivers as your hands run gently through it. I love you. I'll never leave you no matter what. Your  my Moonlark. I wouldn't trade you for the world. 

           -Fitz 

Sophie smiled at the note. She gently folded it up and placed it back in the bag. When her hand came back out, it held a black box that said Tiffany & Co across the top. She opened it and she gasped, placing a hand over her mouth. She ran her hand gently over the necklace. She looked up at Fitz, tears glistening in her eyes. "Thank you" she said. She closed the box up and put it back in the bag. She leaned upwards to Fitz while he leaned down. When their lips met, it was like electricity flowed throughout their bodies. Sophie had one hand on Fitz's neck, the other in his hair. His hands snaked down to her waist. When they pulled apart, they were both breathless. Fitz laughed and lifted Sophie up a bit, spinning her around. When he sat her down, she pulled the necklace back out and took it out of the box. "Can you put it in me please" she asked. He took the necklace and clasped it in the back. Sophie smiled up at him and took his hand. The sun had sunk pretty low at this point, and they still had to get the car. They headed back to the restaurant. Sophie and Fitz put their shoes back on and walked out front, hopping in the car. Fitz drove home and helped her out. They went up to their room and Sophie set her bag down. She took off her shoes and set them and Fitz's in the closet.

         When she walked back out, Fitz turned on the speaker, and they danced. Some were fast and he twirled her about the room freely. The last song was the way you look tonight  by Frank Sinatra. When the song ended, Sophie went to the bathroom and washed off her makeup. She then took a shower and got dressed in her pajamas. Fitz did the same. When he came out of the bathroom, Sophie turned on the tv and they watched a couple different movies. They had eventually turned off the tv, and Fitz asked Sophie about the date. "Did you have fun" he asked. "Yes. I had the time of my life. Thank you so much." Fitz smiled. "Hey Soph, what did you do Dex talk about during breakfast this morning that had you two giggling at me and Keefe. "Oh we weren't laughing at him it was you. I had asked Dex about him and Linh and he said they were great and then asked about me and you. I said they we were doing great as well. He smiled and said I knew it. He told me all about the look you give me when I walk out of the room. That's what that wink was about when I left to go find Biana. When we first entered, it was because you were getting up at the sound of every car to see if we are home. He told me about how when me and Biana left, you were so worried about me, he said you would mention Biana a couple times, but it was mostly me. I laughed and said that your over protective of me, but that's what I like about you, because you can be so over protective sometimes, I feel safe around you." Fitz laughed. "Why did you leave. I didn't believe the back swan's cover up story" he said. Sophie looked down and picked at her nails. "Because of you. At the time, I didn't think that you had liked me, and it hurt me every time you would smile your perfect smile at Linh. I thought you were flirting with her, no matter how many times Biana and Linh and Marella assured me that you weren't, I still didn't believe it. I left because I needed to be away from you so I would stop feeling that pain, and maybe get over my stupid crush, but I'm glad I didn't get over you, and now that I know the truth, I don't ever want you to go." She looked up at Fitz. He leaned down and buried his face in her hair. "I'm never going to leave you. I cannot live without you." He moved his head and laid back against the pillows, still holding her. She placed her head upon his chest and fell asleep to the gentle rise and fall of it. Just before she closed her eyes, Fitz whispered in her ear, "I love you." He ran his hand through her hair and she smiled.  Whispering "I love you"back right before she fell asleep. She truly had a perfect evening.
