Finn's POV (the winner 😁😁)
"You like it?" I ask with a hopeful glint in my voice.
"I can't believe it. Is this an art gallery?" Bayley asks, looking absolutely stunned.
"Yeah, I kind of discovered it when I researched this place. It is an underground art gallery for unknown artists trying to make a name for themselves." I explain and Bayley completely gushes at the different paintings, sculptures and murals.
"How did you even get us in here?" She asks, sending me an over excited smile.
"I tracked down the owner and he said that it is the galleries night off since it is a Sunday. He was happy that people actually showed an interest so he just gave me the key." I shrugs, tucking my hands into my pockets.
"Just like that?" Bayley asks disbelievingly, but still unable to wipe the grin off of her face.
"I was surprised too, but then he told me that he's a big fan... So I kinda played the whole celebrity card." I say sheepishly.
"Of course you did, but what are we waiting for? Let's look around!" Bayley squeals, making me laugh at her antics as she pulls me towards the beginning of the display.
The first work is a mural of a black and white forest. It has long trees that is right next to one another with rays of sun coming through the cracks of each tree.
"There's something lonely about it." Bayley says, staring intently at the mural. "Whoever painted it, must have intense sadness inside of them."
"It's a her. Her name is Arielle Winters." I say, gesturing to the name in the bottom right corner of the mural. "Maybe her boyfriend broke up with her or something.''
"Maybe, but it seems like something more deeper than that. Like a hidden depression or a heightened level of loneliness." Bayley comments, falling into the poor girls spiral of depression.
"Let's move on, before you go in too deep. I don't want my girl to be sad the entire evening.'' I say steering Bayley away from the sad mural.
When I look at her, the sad look is off of her face, replaced with a giddy smile.
"I am having trouble deciphering what the hell this is." Bayley says bluntly as we stare at the very much abstract sculpture.
"It is a man with only the half of his face and a pointer finger on his lips." I comment and Bayley ducks her head in embarrassment.
"Totally knew that." She mutters under her breath.
"It is probably the whole idea of silence is golden. When you're not silent when listening to someone or just taking in your normal life lessons, everything will go by you in a flash and you'll miss all the little important details of life..." I trail off, staring at the hidden message between the clay of the sculpture.
Bayley moves forward and stands on her tip toes and kiss me. I tighten my grip on her waist and pull her closer. Her hands move through my hair as I draw small circles on her hip. She pulls away and leans her forehead against mine. As I stare into her deep brown eyes, I feel myself getting lost in her. I give her a final peck and move away.
"Let's move on." I say, lightly tugging on her hand. "The surprise isn't over."
"It's hard to believe that anything can top all of this..." She says and I shoot her a secretive wink.
"Well, then you Miss Bayley are in for the surprise of your life." I grin and she gives me a excited look.
We walk around the gallery further admiring the numerous paintings, sculptures and murals and other arty stuff. When I check the time, I see that it is almost time for Bayley's big surprise.
"Come on, I want to show you something out here." I say and tug on her hand.
"Where are we going?" She asks with a cute frown, but I kiss her frown away and lead her to another set of doors.
"Be patient." I laugh, opening the doors.
"Is this a balcony?" She asks.
"See for yourself." I comment and she walks outside.
When I hear a big intake of breath, I know that she saw it. I grin and walk closer to her.
"Wow... You actually had someone paint this?" She asks, gushing at the artwork.
"Yeah, I actually spoke to the owner a few days back. I thought that you would like it." I say shyly and she turns around.
"Yes. I will be your girlfriend!" She exclaims and jump into my arms.
I laugh against her lips and lift her up. I twirl her around and crash my lips into hers. The kiss is sweet, yet filled with unspoken emotions. She pulls back and hug me. I keep her close against me and kiss the top of her head.
"Thus cartoon Finn asking me to be his girlfriend is absolutely cute. Can I like keep it?" She asks, staring intently at the medium sized canvas.
"Yeah sure. It is for you, isn't it?" I ask and she squeals excitedly.
"This is hands off one of the best night of my life." She whispers in my ear.
"Anything for you sweetheart." I say, smiling.
If this isn't happiness then I don't know what is...

"So you actually thought that driving drunk will be a good idea?" Bayley asks with a snort, as we are walking towards our hotel building.
"I was sixteen and it was right after I had my very first alcoholic beverage. Or should I say a lot of beverages." I say and she shakes her head.
"And then you crashed into your own tree in your own backyard on your dirt bike?" She asks, clearly suppressing her laughter.
"Yep, I had a massive black eye for weeks! And like a part time job to pay for the new tree." I say casually while Bayley is biting her lip.
"What job did you do?" She asks, trying to keep her laughter inside.
I stay quiet for a few moments and she bumps my side. I turn towards her and she gives me an expectant look.
"Well? What job did you do?" She urges me on.
"I had to work in a greenhouse and plant trees and flowers and shit." I mutter dryly and Bayley bursts into hysterics.
"Wait, you actually had to work with plants when you drunkenly killed one?" She manages to get out and I give her a pointed look.
"You're actually laughing at me right now? My poor sixteen year old inner self." I say with a pout.
"But don't you see the irony in that?" She asks between guffaws.
"I know... I got teased about it every freaking day by my siblings. It was awful, really." I say, pushing that memory away.
"I'm finding it hard to believe that you'll do something like that..." She comments and I shake my head as we get into the hotel.
We walk up to our floor in silence, but it is a comfortable silence and I am peacefully holding my girl's hand.
I stop in front of her door and she kisses me. I pull back and stare into her alluring brown eyes.
"Thanks for the night Finn. It was truly unforgettable." She whispers and I smile.
"Anything for my girlfriend..." I trail off and kiss her briefly.
"It'll take time to get used to that." She says, with that adorable blush and shy smile.
"Well, get used to it, sunshine, cause I'll be calling you that for a very, very , long time." I say, leaving a light peck on her lips and walk to my own hotel room.
Yeah... She's literally perfect.
