Conservatory Dinner
You took his picture as you were heading to the restaurant at The Park. The wind was blowing, and he was in a silly mood. He said, "I'm contemplating here." He was mocking you because sometimes, in mid conversation, you'd stop to make some type of observation or have an epiphany. You were the creative type, after all. He gave up the pose soon after you took his photo, and then he chuckled, giving you a little hug to show you he was just being silly. He then held your hand as you were just coming up to the restaurant. The structure resembled a gilded age conservatory. There was lots of greenery inside, which gave it an enchanted vibe. The maitre d showed you to your booth. It was round and located in a central location where you could see the expanse of the space. There was a small lantern with a little lampshade at the center of the table, and throughout the space there were large crystal globe pendants of various sizes that glittered against the backdrop of the trees and the glass ceiling, which by this time revealed the dusk sky. The full moon seemed to want to compete with the globe lights in terms of brightness. The server arrived and took your drink orders. She came back shortly with your amaretto sour and his whiskey on the rocks. You both admired how the glow of the dim light made you both look even more beautiful. It was your birthday, and he wanted to bring you here as a surprise since you've been hinting at it for a while anyway. He smiled when you mentioned that you're excited to be here, especially with him. He said that he made a reservation the first moment you hinted. You mentioned that he hid his intentions very well. He blushed and said, "That's what makes it interesting!" The server took your orders and eventually brought your dinner a short time later. During that time, you were talking about various things. One topic in particular is traveling. He had some free time opening up in the coming month, and he wanted to know where you would like to travel to. You were too excited to think about it, especially since there's so many places you want to see. He said, "No worries, we have time to decide." As he squeezed your hand.
A short time after you were both done with dinner, the server brought out your surprise birthday cake that the kitchen specifically prepared ahead if time per his instructions. It had a single sparkler as the candle. They set it down and and kindly said "Happy Birthday" before they left you two to be alone again. You were relieved they didn't sing to you. It always felt awkward to you whenever that happened. He smiled and said, "make a wish". You thought hard and then blew out the sparkler. He then asked you what you wished for. You smiled and told him that you can't reveal it or it won't come true. He smiled and said, "it's ok." He then said "Happy Birthday" and leaned in to give you a little kiss. You both enjoyed a slice of cake with espresso. When it was time to leave, they put the rest of the cake in a pretty pink box that was tied with a string. The name of the restaurant was stamped on it with black ink. He carried the box as you walked through the park. There was a lighted path guiding you to the street. He gave his ticket to the valet and shortly after his car arrived. After you both got in, he drove back towards your home, passing through the city. His music had a great beat that made the scenery feel like a music video. People walking down the street seemed to be walking in unison with the beats you were hearing. You smirked and he asked what's funny. You told him, and he smirked too. Eventually he pulled up to your building. He entered your code and the garage gate opened. He parked in your spare space. He was staying with you since his apartment was being painted this week. You were finally in your apartment. He put the cake box in your refrigerator and then you both settled in on the sofa. The light was dim since you had ambient lighting that highlighted your artwork on the walls as well as some corners that shined upwards. They created an interesting pattern of shadows and light on the ceiling because of the leaves of the plant in that corner. It wasn't too late so you were just hanging out, talking and listening to your music playlist. He then gave you a little box when you weren't expecting it. He placed it on the coffee table in front of you. It was red with gold. Your eyes lit up because you knew where that box came from. It's their signature design. You picked it up, opened it and saw a beautiful pendant. Cartier Love necklace with 2 diamonds. You gasped in amazement and looked at him. You said that was your wish earlier tonight, but you didn't expect him to gift it to you. You don't even remember if you ever mentioned it to him. He smiled and said, "I guess we're just connected." Then he offered to put it on you. You lifted your hair and he clasped it around your neck as he stood behind you. You were looking in the mirror and caught a glimpse of his eye as he admired how well the pendant looked on you. You turned around to hug him, and he couldn't resist but to kiss you right there. This one was a lot more passionate than the one at the restaurant earlier that evening. You both lingered there for a while until you eventually pulled away. You were both gazing into each other's eyes. He slightly bit his lip as he caught the shine of your new necklace in the light. He kissed you again and then you both felt the intensity of the night building up. The next morning you woke up in each other's arms as the light from your bedroom window created patterns on the floor. You both lay there, as you both had no obligations to be anywhere that day. You were talking about potential trip ideas as you were playing with his soft curls. You loved how they sometimes fell on his face. You told him that you think you decided where you wanted to go. He turned to face you and you told him, "Japan". He smiled as you continued to explain that the time you were planning on traveling fell during the cherry blossom season and that you always wanted to go there. He confirmed the idea, especially since he had never been there himself. He then said, "great! I'll book everything today!". Then you cuddled a little bit more before you decided to go out for coffee. You spent the day together and time flew. As you sat across from him during lunch, you imagined everything you were going to do together and you couldn't wait until your trip! 🌸
