**Blake**

I stare at Delilah as she stands with scarlett cheeks, infront of me with the dress I had chosen for her. It looks a million times better now that I see it on her. She is absolutely beautiful.

Her legs appears to be longer as she walk towards me with the right amount of leg through the slit of the dress. Not too revealing, but just enough.

"You look beautiful", I compliment her and she blushes.

"You look quite dashing yourself", she turns and I smirk.

"What it all this?", she asks her strong gaze not leaving mine, and I'm not planning on leaving hers anytime soon either.

"I wanted a makeover", I state and she raises her eyebrows.

"The first time we had lunch together, was the first time I felt normal in a while. Until Bethany invaded your little conversation", I say and her mouth turns into a wide smile.

"So Delilah Rose, would you like to join me for dinner?", I ask walking towards her handing her the flowers.

"I would love to", she replies taking the flowers bringing it to her nose.

I pull out a chair and she takes a seat as I soon take my seat opposite her. I signal the waiter to bring the food and he arrives with a silver plate, placing out food infront of us.

"This is amazing", Delilah comments bringing the food to her mouth.

"Thank you, I made it myself", I state and her eyes widen.

"Y-you made this?", she says comimg out like a question.

"Ever since I was thirteen, I helped my father in the kitchen. He owns the most successful restaurants around the world. And I happen to own five", I say placing a piece of asparagus into my mouth.

"That's wonderful. I wish I knew how to cook quise meals", she says and I chuckle.

"I'd be happy to be your personal chief ", I say with a grin and her cheeks flush.

"So tell me about yourself Delilah", I ask and she bites her lip.

"There's not much to know", she answers and I glance at her.

"Tell me, who Delilah Rose is", I twist the question around and she thinks for a while.

"I'm from California", she states and I nod waiting for her to continue.

"Can I ask you a question?", she asks and I look up to her.

"Anything"

"Why are you doing this?", she asks with a frown and I seem taken back my her question.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, I'm not fancy or rich. Why would you want to have a dinner date with me?", she asks staring into my eyes.

"Because you're different Delilah. There's something special about you which gets my mind racing when you're around. I don't want someone fancy or rich. Those things mean nothing to me", I answer truthfully and her eyes sparkle under the light.

"Why me?", she asks and I take her hand in mine.

"Why not you?", I ask and she blushes.

"I know we haven't gotten to get to know each other more , but I feel like you've got this special kind of hold on me. Like we need gravity to stay on earth, but how will I be able to walk the earth without you, if you were my gravity", I say she bites her lip.

"Blake", she pauses and I let out a sigh.

"I really like you, I do", she says looking into my eyes. " I just don't want to get hurt again", she replies with a frown.

"I will never intentionally hurt you Delilah", I answer and a small smile takes over her features.

"How will I be sure of this, words will just be said until it's brought to live", she states and I grin at her words.

"What if I'm not what you think I am and you just toss me away like a piece of paper, because I'm sure millons of girls are lining up at your feet", she says slowly avoiding my gaze.

"I'm not planning on leaving you anytime soon", I answer and she slowly lifts her head. I hold her gaze staring into her brown eyes.

I get up extending my hand towards her. She stares at my hand before placing her soft hand in mine standing up.

I lead and she follows behind me. Her breathing soft and steady, bringing a smile to my face. I glance at her once more, watching her place a strand of hair behind her ear shlyly. I push the glass door open revealing the full moon and stars shining brightly in the darkened sky.

"This is beautiful", she mutters under her breathe. I place my hand on the small of her back as she looks up to the sky. Suddenly soft music fills my ears and I nod my head looking at Martin as he soon walks away with a smile.

"Would you like to dance?", I ask taking her by surprise as she smiles widely.

"You don't seem like the type of guy at who dances", she says with amusement in her tone.

"What can I say, I'm a man of many talents", I reply with a grin.

"This is amazing Blake", Delilah says looking up to the stars but soon her gaze finds mine.

Her breathe seems to speed up as she stares into my eyes. I wonder if she's able to feel my racing heart beat as much as I can feel hers.

Suddenly she stomps on my foot and I bite my lip. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry", she apologises quickly her cheeks flushed.

"Don't be, I'm glad to think I make you nervous", I reply her cheeks turning a blood red.

"You have no idea" ,she mutters under her breathe, more to herself matter-of-factly but loud enough for me to hear.

"Quite intimidating actually", she replies louder this time.

I raise my eyebrows and she bites the inside of her lip.

"How so?", I ask.

"I guess we'll just have to find out" she shugs.

"Or we can find out together", I suggest taking this moment as the perfect opportunity to place my lips on her soft pink ones and she wraps her arms tighter around me neck, letting my lips melt into hers. Setting fire to every single atom of my body.

A smirk creeps on my face as she returns the kiss. I grin as a feel her racing heartbeat against my own.
