Adam and I, woke up at the break of the dawn as he has planned something which he wants to keep it a secret from me.

It turns out that we are going somewhere. Where? Again I don't know and I don't even mind as long as there are food and proper bathrooms.

Since he asked me to pack my bag with both some casual and warms clothes, so I can't even guess where he is taking me. So, not to overwork my mind, I decide to simply enjoy my time with him.

I am going to an unknown destination with my husband whom I love, why do I need to worry about anything else?

We stopped once for gas, we already had our breakfast at home which consisted of last night leftover pasta so we are good for now. Since then we are driving continuously, enjoying the beautiful scenery outside. Actually, the scenery outside is just normal, nothing special, but having this man beside me makes everything special.

I found that even making simple eggs for breakfast is so much fun when you are with the person whom you love. You can have one of the adventures of your life, in a boring grocery shopping when you are with the one who makes your life interesting.

I feel real-life romance lies in these simple and ordinary things. Date nights, long drives, etc, these all things are considered romantic because they are meant to be romantic. However, ordinary day to day life things is where the actual romance is hidden.

Helping each other in household chores, taking care of the other without letting the other one know, listening to their stories with the same interest even though you have heard them a thousand times before. Ordering their favorite food without even asking them what they want to eat. Or sending meaningless texts throughout the day just to see their name on your screen.

This is what romance is.

Leaning my head against the window, I stare at Adam while a soft smile turns my lips upward because this simple drive has also turned special just because I have my Adam with me.

My smile slightly widens as he sings under his breath while trying hard to hide his enthusiasm for this little getaway. His fingers are drumming on the steering wheel with whatever he is humming.

Again I don't mind not knowing the song or the lyrics, as I focus on the tone of his beautiful voice allowing myself to feel content while savoring all these moments with him.

"What?" He glances at me with a smile that makes me feel the luckiest girl in this world.

"Nothing, just staring you." I shrug, shaking his head he chuckles and grabs my hand interlocking our fingers.

"Aren't you curious to know where are we going?" He asks, "You look calm."

"I look calm because I am." I tighten my hold on his, "I don't need to know where I am going, as long as, I have this hand." I slightly raise our conjoined hands, "In mine."

He brings our interlocked hand and kisses my hand, making my heart flutter with thousand of butterflies.

"Then you will never have to worry about anything, as I never plan on leaving this hand ever." He smiles, "I have promised to hold your hand for life and I plan to keep my promise till my very last breath."

*****************************************************************

We have been driving on the grassy road for a few miles in the woods, and Adam only left my hand to shift the gears otherwise, his hold remained on my hand.

And I love it.

Adam has a really confident personality, he knows what he is doing. But at the same time, he is the most fun person you can ever know, however, his this side is mostly for his family.

I feel lucky to find a best friend... a confidant in my husband. I never thought I will say this, but I love being married more than I loved being single.

Adam has just stopped the car in front of a log cabin and I am already squealing with excitement while crushing his hand in a tight grip. It is the place, whose picture, he has shown me a few days back and I instantly fell in love with it, I love these rustic looking cabin in the middle of nowhere.

Even though we are not exactly in the middle of nowhere, but still we are in the middle of vegetation with no other house in near proximity.

Adam laughs looking pleased with himself, as he glances at my reaction.

Opening the door we grab our stuff from the backseat and climb the four wooden stairs of the front porch. Adam retrieves key for his pocket, while I bounce on the ball of my feet as I look around. The porch has one single wooden bench beneath one of the windows, beside the main door. On the other side, there are some empty plant pots one the corner of the porch.

The scent of pine wood is overwhelming my senses, engulfing us in a peaceful and calm feeling.

The moment I turn to look at Adam is the same moment when my feet leave the contact with the ground as he scoops me up in his arms.

"Adam!" I shout as my heart is racing crazily due to the shock.

He gives me a boyish grin and leaning down he touches his nose with mine. His eyes are locked with mine and I feel myself getting lost in his gaze.

Whenever our eyes meet I feel nothing but sincerity and honesty in his eyes. This has been the same even when I have met him for the first time. It seems like he doesn't have anything to hide from me, his heart holds no secret. He is like an open book, which is just mine to read.

We are so close, yet I want to be even more close to him.

I raise my hand to touch his face, as he closes the distance between our lips. A sweet and gentle kiss, evoking all the feelings in my heart which are accompanied by him.

We both break the kiss at the same time, breathing in each other. His forehead resting against mine as his eyes hold my gaze unwaveringly.

Oh, God, I love him. I love him so much.

Without thinking I tilt my face up while bringing his face down.

"I love you," I whisper against his lips a moment before when our lips touch.

Closing my eyes, I kiss him trying to reveal my feeling without the need of the words. I want him to feel the love which I carry in my heart for him... to let him know that he is the sole owner of my heart.
