Chapter 79- I Won

"Where are you right now?" I ask into my cell phone.

"My house." Ayla's voice comes through from her end of the line.

"Okay, well get ready. We're going on an adventure." I say, getting low-key excited myself.

There's a short pause then Ayla answers back, "Okaaaay? How should I dress? Are we gonna be outside or inside?"

I smile even though I know she can't see me. "Well, that depends on which option you choose. So pick either option 1,... Or option 2..."

Ayla doesn't say anything for a while then she says, "Um... I'll go with.... Option 2."

"Alright, then dress warm." I tell her but then I remember something. "Oh, wait, Ayla."

"What?"

"Blue, red, yellow or orange?" I ask her through the phone.

It takes her a bit to answer. "Red."

I nod my head and smile giddily. "Okay. I'll see you in a bit." I say then hang up.

I don't do these surprise adventure things often but since it's a Sunday and that's usually considered a lazy day, I figured we could use some fun today.

I make a quick stop before I go and pick up Ayla. I walk up to the front door and knock. Ayla opens the door and greets me with a warm welcoming smile.

"Hi!" She says excitingly.

I smile a cheesy smile and admire how fucking beautiful she looks. How is it possible that every damn time I see Ayla for the first time, she takes my breath away?

"Hey," I greet back then lean in and kiss her cheek. "Ready?"

Ayla jumps on the balls on her feet. "Yeah." Then she reaches behind the door, grabs her winter coat, step out and shuts the door behind her.

I open the passenger door open for her and gesture for her to get in, after she gets in, I shut the car door and walk around my car, getting in myself. After we settle in, Ayla puts on her seatbelt while I start the car.

"I got you something." I say, wiggling my eyebrows and with a cheeky smile. I reach in the backseat and grab the flower bouquet I got her.
