I felt very antsy throughout the drive , and every time I would ask him where we are going he wouldn't budge and would just smile at me as if it is amusing to him , which I am sure it is
After an hour long drive he parked his car at a dock. We both got out and he held my hand , and instant tingles shot through there , and I know he felt it to cause he looked at our joined hands and smiled
"What are we doing here ?"
"Patience is virtue"
I tolled my eyes at him earning me a smirk and we walked to a ginormous boat that I think is a ferry , was waiting for us .
With a smile and nod given to the guy that stood by there waiting for us to arrive , we got on the boat.
It was completely empty and if this was a horror movie I would have been batshit scared . But since it's not and I am on a boat with a very handsome guy on a very interesting date I decided to just enjoy myself and 8 reminded myself to Google the income of a photographer
Eric put his hand on my lower back and lead us to the top deck of the boat where the view was amazing. I could feel the wind in my face as I held on to the railing. A slight shiver resonated in me and I suddenly felt a warm jacket with the most minty smell cover me
"What about you?"
"I am alright don't worry about it, plus you look pretty in it"
"Thanks . So what are we doing here?"
"Well I wanted our first date to be very memorable -"
"Well it is , no one has ever booked out an entire boat for me let alone at 08:30 pm"
"- glad to be your first , and you also told me that you wanted to visit The Statue of Liberty , and your wish is my command"
"But how ...I just..."
The shock I felt was evident in my stuttering , and he just chuckled and smirked at me
"I know some people and I was able to pull a few strings"
I couldn't believe it , I had just told him that I wanted to visit Lady Liberty and he made it happen just like that. And the fact that he did warms my heart that he did this for me
"I just can't believe you did that for me"
"It's okay I wanted to and seeing the way you feel about it is worth it"
He put his arm around me and pulled me closer to him as we neared the monument. Once we got there we dropped off and walked to the actual Statue to begin our journey to go up , I stopped when I remembered that I have death traps on my feet , cause I wasn't actually prepare for this. Eric stopped as well and turned to look at me with concern written on his face
"Is something wrong? "
"Not really but I wasn't really prepared for sight-seeing "
I pointed at the heels on my feet and he smiled at me
"Don't worry there is an elevator plus I'll carry you up if the heels are as deadly as they look"
I laughed with him . He really thought this through and in the span of an hour . Impressive
We got in the elevator and went up and after a while we stopped , and got out
"We aren't done yet missy"
"What do y-"
I was suddenly lifted up and shrieked as he put me over his shoulder
"What are you doing Eric ?"
"I told you I would carry you and I am. I am a man of my word"
"You could carry me like I am a normal human being and bot a sack of potatoes"
"There you go again with the pohtayto. Plus where is the fun in that while here you as looks fantastic"
"I could feel my cheeks heat up. But I couldn't deny the fact that he too had a fantastic ass and I wonder how it would feel to hold it . Shaking those thoughts that caused me to blush even more and mentally thanking him for carrying me like this cause he couldn't see me , I mustered up the strength to answer him back
"Wow what a guy"
"Never said I wasn't "
I shook my head and he finally stopped and put me down . I felt kinda dizzy and if it wasn't for his hand secured on my waist I probably would have fallen
"Sorry "
"It's okay. So we are here?"
"Yeah at Lady Liberty's crown "
I stared through the windows the view that was ahead of me and it was beautiful
"It looks beautiful"
"Sure does"
I could feel his gaze on my face as he said that and I turned to caught him looking at me
"It's rude to stare you know"
I teased him trying to ease the slowly building tension between us
"I can't help it you are really beautiful"
I blushed again. This guy is on a mission to make me redder than a tomato
"Thank you , for everything . The dinner , this . Thank you"
"It's okay really . I would do it again if it meant that I could see you smile like this"
He traced his finger on my lip that I hadn't known had turned into a smile , and looked at them with such intensity I thought the room was gonna explode from all the tension that is surrounding us.
I swear at this moment I wanted to kiss him so darn badly and I knew that he wanted to if the way he looked at me like I was dinner was any indication.
But I don't know what went through that brain of his that caused him to pull back and his eyes that are always so guarded flashed a brief emotion so fast that I couldn't clearly make out what it was .
I turned back to the city lights in front of me to try and hide the hurt and embarrassment that he didn't want to kiss me for whatever reason he had.
So to salvage the situation I decided to not so subtly change the subject
"New York is so bright"
He seemed to have caught on and went with it
"Yeah there is a reason it's called the city that never sleeps"
"Looks like it really deserves it's name"
The rest of the date went pretty good but the tension was still lingering and we could both feel it but chose to ignore it .
"I had a great time Eric "
I told him as we were walking back to his car
"I did too . Maybe we can do this again ?"
"I would definitely like that"
We got in the car and begun our journey back . Halfway through the drive the rain from hell started to pour and it seemed to increase by the minute.
