"I thought I asked you to trust me." David asked on the ride up.

"Trust me baby this is all trust." I replied nervously making him chuckle.

He leaned in and kissed my forehead before pulling me to his side. The elevator went all the way up and stopped on the floor marked RT.

Rooftop? What were we doing there? The doors slid open to reveal the most magnificent sight I'd ever laid my eyes on. The air up here was a little chilly but it was also so breathtakingly beautiful. Living in the city didn't allow much of a sky life but this high up I could make out a few dots across the vast clear sky. The rooftop was decorated in fairy lights everywhere with a few tables artfully arranged but they were all empty and bare except for one which was set romantically for two with candles and roses. It looked like a scene from a movie. The skyline from up there was beautiful and it made everything even more amazing. There was soft romantic music playing in the background and I just stood there shocked. Had he rented out the whole rooftop? How could he afford that? Remember Anisha, trust. Yes trust but still how?

David took my hand and led me to the table with a smile on his face. Looks like someone was enjoying my surprise. Never in my wildest dreams had I ever thought that David could do something so romantic. It was so unlike him but also so perfect. He pulled my chair back for me and I settled down as he sat next to me. The chairs we arranged adjacent to each other and not across from each other.

"When did you have time to arrange all this?" I asked still trying to wrap my head around the whole thing.

I took off my silk wrap and bag strapping them over my chair.

"I wanted to do something special for you and it took a few extra shifts and help from a few friends but I did it so here we are." He explained.

My heart couldn't possibly take anymore. He had taken all the extra shifts for me? That was beautiful.

"Baby you didn't have to do that." I said softly.

"I know but I wanted to. You've been nothing but the best to me ever since we met and I wanted to return the favor even if it was just for one night." He responded and I couldn't help but lean in and kiss him.

"Thank you so much. It means a lot to me that you did this." I said when we pulled apart my palm on his cheek.

"Anytime Tiny . I hope you're hungry because I already ordered for us." He said.

"You've known me long enough to know my tastes so I trust you." I responded and with that he took out his phone and dialed someone.

He didn't even say anything, just let it ring thrice before he hang up.

"So why this hotel and not any other?" I asked to make conversation as we waited for the food.

"Nothing but the best for my queen." He responded and for the umpteenth time that night he managed to stop my heart for a second.

Could he get any more perfect?

Before I could interrogate him anymore the doors opened and in walked a waiter pushing a trolley with what I assumed was our food. He stood next to us and placed a bottle of wine in a bucket on the table and two glasses.

"Ma'am, sir welcome to the Imperial. You're dinner was preordered as per the gentleman's request. Should I serve it now or come back in a few minutes?" He asked politely.

"It's okay, I've got it from here." David replied.

"As you wish sir. Enjoy your evening." The waiter replied and with a polite bow left us all alone again leaving the trolley behind.

David took the bottle of pink wine and he showed it to me to make sure that it was non alcoholic because he knew how averse I was to alcohol. When I gave him a nod to go ahead he opened the bottle and poured some for the both of us.

"To us and the prospect of new beginnings." He toasted raising his glass.

There was so much promise in that statement but I didn't dare question him. I was allowing him to run this dinner because of how much thought he had put into it. It was simply amazing.

"Cheers." I responded with a smile clinking our glasses together.

I took a sip and it actually tasted good, like apple juice just with a more tangy taste.

When David saw that I liked it he smiled to himself and I think he did a mental happy dance. He was just adorable. He got up and took off the food cover revealing what we were habit for dinner. The sweet smell was what caught my attention first. It had my mouth watering and eyes widening in desire. He laid the tray in the middle of the table and it took everything in me not to just starting eating there and then. This was civilized date so I'd behave. Guess what was being served? Burgers and fries. What sort of boyfriend takes their girlfriend to a five star hotel to eat burgers and fries? The best boyfriend ever I tell you.

"You have no idea how much I love you right now." I blurted out without thinking.

I only realized what I had said when David dropped the kid he was holding to the ground. It fell with a clanking noise and then it continued to fall in that noise that stuff falls with creating more tension to my words. When it was finally silent I looked at David with a worried look on my face biting my lip in nervousness.

"What did you just say?" He asked towering over me.

Way to look more intimidating at a moment like this.

"Umh that I uh love the food so much." I replied lamely trying to save face.

My best was beating so fast and my hands were shaking in my lap. Me and my big mouth just had to mess this up.

"Nope that's not what you said." David replied looking at me with a look that even I couldn't decipher.

I had known about my feelings towards him ever since my grandpas birthday but I'd never said the actual words. I always wanted to but knowing David wasn't there yet stopped me from confessing. Then I had to go ahead and blurt it out in the middle of the most romantic night ever.

I had already said it so why not just come clean and let nature take its course. I just hope he didn't reject me though. He'd said that he was falling in love with me but that was not the same as saying the actual words. Here goes nothing I thought as I closed my eyes to mentally prepare myself to our my heart out to him.

"I love you."

Someone said. Nope I did not say that so it only means David did. I opened my eyes to look at him and he was looking at me with the most loving look on his face and a smile on his lips. David had just confessed his love for me and I hit sat there staring at him like a deer caught in head lights. My heart was beating out of my chest and my mouth was suddenly dry. I felt tears well up in my eyes and on seeing this David dropped to his knees next to me.

"Baby what's wrong? Don't cry? Is it what I said?" He asked trying to smooth me and I just let more tears fall as a chuckle escaped me in the midst of all my tears. David rarely called me baby. It was always Tiny so him calling me that showed just how worried he was.

"No it's not that. I just can't believe you said it." I replied when my mouthy could finally form the words.

"I can't take it back." He said with a smile of his own.

"I don't want you to dummy." I said slapping his shoulder playfully.

"You still haven't said anything yet." He teased.

"Technically I said it first or more like blurted it out." I replied smiling as I wiped off my tears with one of the napkins.

"Tiny." He warned in a deep baritone a glare on his face and I laughed.

"I love you David so much my heart hurts." I confessed and a grin gracing his pink plump lips.

"Now that wasn't so hard was it." He teased and it was my turn to glare at him.

He chuckled at my reaction"I love you too Tiny." He said for the second time and its like I was hearing it all over again for the first time.

I wrapped my hands around his neck and pulled him towards me for a kiss. When our lips met I felt at home in the arms of the man I loved and who loved me back. I could finally confidently say that David and I were in love.

"Okay dinner time. I think I just heard your stomach growl at me."David said when we pulled apart.

"Ill not argue." I said watching him get up and sit next to me.

I grabbed a napkin and put it in my lap getting ready to have a feast.

"You're the only girl I know who would be this excited to for for a burger and fries in a five star hotel." David teased grabbing his napkin too.

"Feel like you won the jackpot?" I asked jokingly.

"Honestly I feel like the luckiest man alive." He confessed and my ever palpitating heart at his comments skipped a few more beats.

I took a sip of my wine since my mushed brain couldn't find a proper reply.

I grabbed one of the burgers on a paper napkin because I wasn't sure how clean my hands were and took a bite. A taste of heaven exploded in my mouth at that first bite. That was some first level five star cooking right there.

"This is the best burger I've ever had in my life." I commented after swallowing that first bite.

"That's what I thought the first time I had it but it's not on the menu because this is a high end restaurant." David replied picking up a burger.

I looked at him puzzled wondering when he had it.

"What do you mean the first time?" I asked taking another bite and looking at him waiting for a reply.

"I used to work here as a night guard and sometimes as a waiter when I was at the university as a way to support my family and make some extra cash. It's actually how Tyler and I met. He said I looked like the perfect bouncer so he offered me the job at his club. It was way better pay so I quit here." He explained.

That was a new piece of information about David that I did not know. It explained how he pulled tonight off.

"I had no idea." I replied.

"Isn't a relationship about discovering something new about your partner each time?" He asked and I nodded in agreement.

"Now I understand how you pulled all this off." I said motioning around us.

"Yeah I thought its finally time I used my employee discount even though I haven't worked here for a while. I was a good employee so the manager was very welcoming." He explained.

"Well I'm glad you quit working here otherwise we might have never met." I commented.

"Maybe, maybe not. Fate has a weird way of working." He commented and I didn't reply but nodded because my mouth was too full.

The chef who made the food needed a raise. He was good at his job. I put my half finished burger down and bright my plate of fries towards me. I sprinkled the kachumabri on top of it before drenching it in ketchup and digging in.

"Where does all that food go?" David asked looking at me like a mystery.

"I wish I knew." I shrugged taking a huge bite of my fries.

I had tried to be civilized but when it came to food that thought didn't last long. David obviously didn't mind so why would I.

He chuckled at my childish expression before continuing with his food as I did mine. It was one of the best meals I have ever had filled with laughter, lots of talk and getting to know each other.

When time for dessert came David brought out the best chocolate freakshakes I have ever seen in my life. They looked so yummy and right then I thanked God for such a good metabolism because after eating all that I should have at least gained more pounds. David didn't have as much of a sweet tooth like I did so when he couldn't finish his shake I helped him.

"I think I have a baby." I groaned rubbing my stomach as I laid back on the seat feeling full to the brim.

"At least wait till you actually taste my dessert before saying something like that." David joked and I looked at him through my lashes.

"Did you just make a dirty joke? Sorry I'm too full to laugh." I revoked chuckling at his attempt.

"Yeah it and went horribly. You know what get up. We're dancing and getting rid of they baby." David said getting up.

"Why do you always ask me to dance after we eat?" I asked.

"Because you always end up eating to much and complaining of a stomach ache so this is me helping you." He replied grabbing my hands and pulling me up.

"But it always tastes so good when I'm eating." I whine.

"I know baby I know." He said kissing my forehead.

My hands lay on his chest as he out his on my lower back and we moved slowly to the soft music. The weather was nice, I was with the man I love and who loved me back and we were happy. What more could I want.

"Thank you so much for tonight. I love you." I said after ten minutes of dancing in silence.

"Anything for you. I love you more queen." He replied in a husky tone and I leaned up too look at him only to find him already looking at me.

He lowered his head and our lips met in a sweet slow kiss. Suddenly as if some spell had been cast upon us the kiss turned fast and frantic. I pulled David head lower and hands caressed my ass in a firm hold. I felt his little but not so little friend rub against my stomach. It wasn't the first time that had happened but it was the first time I wanted to do something about it.

What did this mean? Was I finally ready to have sex with David? I'd never actually not been ready but something about the moment we were having screamed perfect time.

"Tiny.." David groaned against my lips and that sound travelled directly to my lady parts.

"David." I moaned back pushing Mateo flush against him hoping for some friction.

"I think we should take this elsewhere, unless your not ready." David proposed and I didn't even have to think about it.

"Let's go." I replied nodding.

David gave me one more harsh kiss that held promise of more to come before pulling away. He grabbed my wrap and bag from the back of the chair before pulling me towards the elevator. He didn't press the button for the lobby but instead for a few floor below us. I looked at him questioningly.

"Trust remember." He replied and I had no response to that.

I did trust him completely and like earlier I let him take control of everything since he had already planned this night. I just hope it was headed towards where I thought. Me finally connecting with David in the most sensual way imaginable.

**************************************

I'm sorry for another cliffhanger but the chapter would have been too long.

I know some you guys are expecting smut in the next chapter but there ain't gonna be any, maybe some but not much. At any other time I would have given you guys all the glory details but right now I don't feel comfortable writing it. Maybe writing this here was a bad idea because some of you might stop reading but it's okay.

Anyway moving on.. Date part three coming soon.
