I pull up to my house and notice my parents cars aren't there, must be a late night at work I thought. I get out my car and head towards the front door. I reach the front door and open it quickly. Closing the door with my foot and making sure it's locked, I head to my room not paying attention to my surroundings. Putting my purse and keys down I pull out my phone to check for any messages from Marcel.
None.
"Hmm that's weird" I say out loud. Turning on my LED lights in my room, I turn to also turn on my fairy lights when I see a shadow at my door.
A gasp leaves my mouth and I jump up in fright. The shadow moves closer to the lit up room. I begin to panic looking around for some sort of weapon but come up empty handed. The shadow finally comes fully into my room and I notice it's Marcel.
"You dumbass you scared me!!" I say mad at him for scaring me like that. He just stands there and laughs at me.
"Oh what you think scaring your girlfriend is funny huh?" I say crossing my arms over my chest.
"Maybe you should really look around your house once you walk in babe" he says. "Instead of it being me it could've been a robber or a serial killer" he says with a serious look.
"Yeah whatever" I say. "How did you even get into my house?" I ask, just now wondering how in the world he could've gotten in.
"You gave me a key, remember?" he says pulling it out of his pocket. I close my eyes in realization suddenly remembering I had given him a key so it could be easier for him to get in and out of my house without a hassle (amongst other reasons you know)
"Right, I forgot for a sec that I had give it to you" I say with a small laugh. "So what are you doing here" I say laying down on my bed, patting the spot beside me, inviting him to lay down also. He lays down before speaking again.
"I thought it would be a good idea to surprise you with a little last minute date" he says looking at me and smiling widely.
"Babe i'm not even dressed to go out on a date" I say referring to my outfit which consisted of some denim shorts, a light orange crop top, and my white birkenstock's.
"Who said we were going out" he says. "Besides even if we were, you'd still be the most beautiful girl out there" he says lifting a hand to put a strand of my h/c hair behind my ear. I blush slightly at his comment and then remember what we were talking about.
"So if we're not going out for our date, then we're is our date gonna be at?" I ask him ,confused out of my mind.
"That's easy follow me" he says getting up from my bed and holding his hand out for me to take. I hesitantly take his hand and let him pull me off the bed.
"Come on babe don't be so lazy" he says practically dragging me.
"Well I don't even know what's going on or where on earth you are take-" I stop talking and place a hand on my mouth when I see my backyard decorated with fairy lights hanging from the tree, a blanket spread out on the grass with a basket that I hope is filled with food, and a small lantern also sitting on the blanket.
I turn to look at Marcel with a surprised look on my face. He's staring back at me with a hopeful look on his face.
"Did you do all of this?" I ask in awe at how beautiful it all is.
"Yeah I did, do you like it?" he says looking kinda nervous.
"Like it? I LOVE IT!" I yell jumping into his arms. It took him by surprise but he managed to catch me and hold me close into his arms. He hikes me up higher and I wrap my legs around his waist, holding myself up, my arms wrapping around his neck. I lean down and kiss him, making sure he knows through the kiss how much I appreciate all of this. He kisses back immediately and we both get lost into the kiss. I pull back slightly out of breath.
"You know as much as i'd love to just stand here and make out with you, I think it would be better if we enjoy this date that took quite a long time to set up" he says letting out a small laugh. I also laugh at this and unwrap my legs from his waist as he lets me down slowly. We both walk hand and hand towards the blanket.
We settle down and I take a look around my backyard, wondering how in the world he got it to look this pretty. Once I turn back to him I notice he has a bowl of strawberries, my favorite. I smile and grab one bringing it up to his mouth, making him think i'm gonna feed but just as he opens his mouth to bite into it I pull it back and eat it. I smirk when I see the look on his face.
"Wow babe thanks" he says sarcastically.
"You're so welcome Marcel" I say laughing at him. He however finds zero humor in this.
I lean in and grab another strawberry, this time I do feed it to him. He bites into it closing his eyes and moaning out at how good they are. We continue to eat the strawberries, occasionally feeding each other as we talk about anything that came to mind. Jokes were said that had us rolling around clutching our stomachs at how hard we were laughing. These are the types of dates I enjoyed the most.
"You know i'm getting kinda bored, we should dance" Marcel says out of nowhere. I look at him confused as to where this is coming from. He suddenly leans over into the basket he had there and pulls out a small bluetooth speaker.
"Did you have that there the whole time" I ask him.
"Uh yeah" he replies casually, messing around with the speaker trying to connect his phone to it. I look away from him and close my eyes, enjoying the silent of the night and the light breeze that was blowing through. Suddenly I hear the familiar starting chord of Perfect by Ed Sheeran start to play, filling the once silent night. I open my eyes and turn to see Marcel already standing and holding his hand out for me to take. I smile and grab his hand allowing him to pull me up.
We move off the blanket and onto the grass. I feel the grass between my feet, seeing as my birkenstock's have been long gone from my feet. I wrap my arms around his neck as he wraps his around my waist. We start to sway to the beat of the song, as we stare into each other's eyes. He suddenly pulls back and spins me out of his arms only to pull me back a few seconds later. I laugh slightly as my back is now to his chest and we continue to sway to the song.
"Dancing in the dark, with you between my arms, barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song" Marcel sings to me as he lays his head on my shoulder. I pull back and turn to face him now. I wrap my arms around his neck and lay my head on his chest, enjoying the moment.
"Now I know I have met an angel in person and she looks perfect ,I don't deserve this you look perfect tonight"
