Finding Us Again

Second First Date (part 2)

Ian's Pov-

Tonight is all about you and I. I love you baby." I whispered in Nina's ear as I removed the blindfold.

"I love you too baby." Nina said. Her eyes got wide. And I could hear her breath get caught in her throat.

Her beautiful brown eyes sparkled. And I could see the tears threatening to fall. The more she looked around the more her brown eyes shined with surprise and love.

And I couldn't be happier.
All I wanted was for her to be happy. I just wanted her to know how much I love her. And appreciate her standing by me through all of this. And for giving me another chance at this.
I needed her to know how happy I was that we have a second chance. And that we had a chance to make this right. To get things right the way we should have the first time. I needed her to know how sorry I was for everything. I needed her to know how sorry I was for hurting her. And that I never plan on doing it again.

I NEED HER TO KKOW THIS.

"Ian... You did this? You did all this for me?" She asked with tears in her beautiful eyes. I was just happy they were tears of joy.

"I did baby. I did all of this for you. For us. And pops helped me." We both laughed lightly.

"This is amazing." She said looking around.

"I'm glad you like it. Come in here with me." I said holding out my hand.

I took her into the dining room. All the food was set up perfectly. And her favorite wine was sitting in ice.

"You really got all our favorite foods?"

"Yes I did. And your favorite wine. Pops got the flowers. And he liked the candles so that's what I got." I told her.

"Well he knows me. He remembered how much I liked them when he got me them for Christmas. I've been trying to find this scent for so long. Since my candles burned out." She said smiling and smelling the.

"He said that. He said he got you some before. And remembered how much you loved them. And you can't find them anywhere but here. A lady makes them homemade." I told her.

"Ian this is all amazing. I love it. The candles. The lights. The food. All of it." She walked over to me and wrapped her arms around me.
She pressed her lips to mine and kissed me. I kissed her back like she was breathing for me. God she's perfect. I thought to myself.

When we parted I took her hand and walked her into the living room. I wanted to show her the bed we had set up in front of the fireplace.
I had noticed that my dad had put rose petals and buds on the bed.
Nice touch pops. Real smooth old man. I thought.

"Baby this is beautiful. Can we keep the fireplace lit please Ian?" Nina asked in a cute little voice.

"Of course we can baby. That's why I put it in here." I told her smiling.

"Can we eat now? Please babe. I'm starving and you have our favorite food. And it looks and smells so good." Nina said.

"Of course baby. Come on." I held my hand out and we walked towards the dining room.

"Can we take pictures before we eat and ruin this beautiful set up please." Nina laughed and stuck her bottom lip out.
I looked at her with a weird look on my face. Trying to figure out why she wanted to take pictures.
