First one

Endgame Part 1

Meet me at our patio... Take the beach path... Just do what I say baby, I know you're hesitating to go through the house instead. See you in a second, Lukas.

Of course I rolled my thoughts at the part about me hesitating... It was completely true as usual. Within the first year of starting up, the restaurant was doing extremely well, more than well even... And Lukas, the genius he is, quickly got promoted at the company he started to work for after graduation. The result, we were able to buy a beautiful house, ocean view and our backyard was basically the beach. The house I had always dreamt of, the house I wanted to start a life in for my own without dwelling on the past was now ours.

I chuckle once more while leaving the front door for what it was to take the beach path next to our house, quickly taking off my shoes so my toes could feel the warm and lovely sand, a feeling that had grown on me. Before I even reached the back of our house my feet met another letter, folded in a jar, half buried in the sand next to a burning candle. I took the jar and read the letter, my heart instantly jumping at the cuteness of his words.

If you're reading this: good, for once you listened. Now come over here so I can kiss my beautiful girl, I'm waiting. Come one, quick feet. 

What is all of this... He's romantic and all, I know, but this? I smiled at the letter in my hands before I followed the path to the back of our little beach garden and patio. I felt my eyes widen the moment the entire back of our house was lit up by twinkling lights and candles, a pick nick rug in the middle of the sand surrounded by more, you guessed it, candles... What's going on?

"Lukas?" I called out for him as I stood near the rug, my eyes wandering over the patio to see where he was. I couldn't see him anywhere while I was longing for that kiss and my mind was all over the place, spiked by the amount of candles and the hopeless romantic in me. I looked around, amazed by the work he must have put in lighting all these candles and the lights hanging over the patio and part of the beach behind our house were new too. I want to keep the lights. That was all I could think while I couldn't think straight at all, confused and without a doubt curious.

I looked past the sand until my eyes fell on the rug, another letter with my name on in the middle of it. I looked around before going over there to grab the note and read it, my feet no longer engulfed by sand.

Now close your eyes Snowflake...
Too much hesitation...Just do it...Please...

I laugh escaped me at the thought of how well he knows me. I do hate closing my eyes when people tell me to close my eyes, I don't know why I just do... But I'll close them for him, not knowing for how long I would have to keep them like that. I stood there, underneath the lighted sky of hundreds of lights, in my own back yard, a love note between my fingers as my stomach filled with anticipation. He always surprised me on anniversaries and birthdays but today wasn't a special day...and that made me nervous.

I bit my lip, trying my best not to open my eyes even though I so desperately wanted to, but if I had learned anything from him asking me to keep my eyes closed it was that no matter what, when I opened them I would get to see a smile on his face and that was worth keeping them closed.

I heard soft movement in the sand along with the sound of waves and howling of the night until I felt a hand push back my hair from my face, two soft lips meeting mine for that promised kiss. My world stood still and the time stopped to pass, taking in this moment until he whispered against my lips. "Keep them closed baby." Lukas whispered huskily near my ear before taking my breath away with another kiss, the softness of his mouth moving along my bottom lip almost made me whimper with eagerness, eager to deepen the kiss under the brightness of the lights.
