Wren's POV
I settled into the ambiance of the environment. Slow serenades played from Jhay's stereo. Occasionally I would steal glances at him.

Thanks to Amara I still felt really embarrassed. Maybe if I was fair I would have been as red as tomatoes.

I played with my fingers knotting them and releasing them. I had finally settled for a yellow long sleeved champagne dress. It was simple, nothing exceptional except for the little rocks that decorated the neck line.

"I actually wanted you to wear red you know?"
Jhay said after he lowered the stereo.

"Ya, I remember. You were like 'red's my best colour and I'd really like to see it on you' well sorry to burst your bubble, I'm not going to wear red because you asked"

I said mimicking his low hoarse voice at some point.

"You sound like a frog, don't try to talk like me again."
I fixed my gaze on him. Maybe if I looked for some more minutes he would break, right in front of me. Then I'd do a happy dance and run away with his car.
I had to be realistic.

I scoffed.
"Aah, he's agreed that he sounds like a frog. Finally!"

"Don't forget that you kissed a frog."
He was referring to that first time we ate together, when he ate the very last slice of pizza.
Thanks for making me more embarrassed Jhay.

I could feel my self slowly sinking into the chair.
"I didn't kiss you, I just took what you stole.."

"By kissing me, don't worry, today we could have a better kiss session"
Cocky bastard.

"Hey jerk, so you go around fixing kissing sessions? who else did you kiss this week?"

"Someone's jealous. Don't worry, I can stick to one woman."
I rolled my eyes and looked outside the window.

"Where are you taking me to?"
I said rolling my glass down and allowing the early evening breeze fan my face.

"It's a surprise"

"I don't like surprises"

I love surprises.

"Who doesn't love surprises, surprises are the best, the guessing, the anxiousness. The adrenaline. Don't worry, after today you would love'em"

I smiled.

We continued driving in silence. Actually now it was a comfortable silence. I felt him reach over and lace our fingers together.

"Concentrate and drive, I hope you don't go around holding hands with all the girls that get into your car?"

He laughed boisterously and left my hand for a second. I immediately missed him.

"Tough love mmh? I can handle that"
Then he laced our fingers again.

I smiled.
No grinned through out the ride.

The car came to a halt and I looked around. We weren't at an expensive hotel, or restaurant. In fact we were in a simple apartment.

This was his surprise, really?
I didn't say anything and just alighted from the car. My black heels made a clicking sound as it touched the floor disrupting the peaceful environment.
