"Oh hey Astrea, You look beautiful tonight"Ezra said.
she didn't know why but everytime Ezra said her name she felt a thousand butterflies dance in her stomach.
"Lets get going shall we",Ezra said as. he opened the door for Astrea and then he got into the car.
Once they were both seated she asked "Where are we going?", To which he replied "You will find out soon", trying his best not to sound like a kidnapper.
"Okay",Astrea said thinking where he could possibly be taking her which she found out soon enough when Ezra pulled over.
He came out of the car and helped her out taking her hand which she took with a storm of butterflies in her stomach.
'What is wrong with me', Astrea taught to herself.
Once she regained her senses she asked Ezra where they were ,"it's a surprise "Ezra said pulling out a black fabric which she realized soon enough was a blindfold.
"Huh what's that for",Astrea asked.
"Could you please wear it",Ezra asked...no he pleased.
"Sure",Astrea replied taking it from him and tying it to cover her eyes.
Once she covered her eyes he took her hand and led her to wherever they were going,they didn't walk for long when he suddenly stopped and helped her take of the blindfold and what she saw left her speechless and in awe.
Just a few feet away was a tree with low hanging branched that has dropping lights around it and beyond the dropping lights there was a picnic blanket laid down on the green grass. In the middle of the picnic blanket there was a cute picnic basket decorated with moons and stars surrounded by two plates.
There were beautiful lamps that set off a beautiful golden glow surrounding the picnic blanket.
Under the Celestial glow of the moon it looked straight out fantasy romance novel and Astrea just stood there transfixed . Who would have thought that this bad boy looking individual always clad in black and an emotionless expression could pull off such a romantic picnic.
"So what do you think?",Ezra asked.
Astrea turned to look at him "Its amazing",she said .
"Let's go sit ,shall we",Ezra asked as he took her hand and led her towards the beautiful tree as he moved the dropping lights for her to pass she couldn't help but admire his features ;his long eyebrows, his full and perfectly arched eyebrows, his long dark raven hair, his perfect nose , sharp jawline and his most striking feature those sapphire blue eyes that seem to have enchanted her since the first day they met , those eyes that she couldn't get out her head.
As she stood there looking at him , she was suddenly regained her thoughts when she heard his voice "Astrea", he said with a smirk fully aware that she was staring at him".
"Huh",She said finally realizing that she was still outside.
"Lets get inside", He said trying his best to not laugh at how adorable she looked when she figured out he knew she was staring him.
With that they made they're way to sit down .
Once they were seated he pulled out a container filled with Caprese pasta salad, with bruschetta and covered jug filled lemonade and served her and my oh my it was amazing.
"So Astrea do you have any siblings?", Ezra asked.
"What?", Astrea asked as she was still revelling in the taste of the food while Ezra raised a napkin to clean the side of her mouth making her blush,"I asked if you have siblings" Ezra repeated himself.
"Oh yeah I do, two actually, there's Sean who's eight and Iris who's six and there's also my step sis who is seven years older than me but she lives in another country but we talk often",Astrea said .
"Cool, any cousins?",Ezra asked seeming very interested in her life which he was In reality.
"Yeah , I've got four from my mother's side, there's Antonio who is seven, Athena his sister who's first birthday is in two months and fun fact I personally named her based on my obsession with Greek mythology, both of them are my uncle's kids. Then we have Henry who is five and his brother who's birthday is ten days after Athena's and they are both my aunt's kids. Then from my father's side I have Kira who is my aunt's child but we don't really talk anymore so thats out of the question",Astrea rambled while Ezra sat there with a smile
"Seems like you have a big family ",Ezra said amazed.
"Yeah I do, what about you any siblings or cousins ?", Astrea asked him for a change which caught him of guard.
"Me?",Ezra asked .
"Yeah you", Astrea answered.
"Let's see I'm an only child and my dad left when I was younger so I barely have any memories of him , after he left my mum didn't have much so she Started a catering business which grew massively overtime as for cousins,my mother was an only child and my dad's family cut ties with us as soon as he left", He tried to laugh it off but Astrea could tell that it really hurt him to say it out loud and before she knew what she was doing she pulled him Into a hug and he hugged her back holding her tight, neither of them knew why but both of them felt extremely safe in each other's arm like no harm could come to them when they were together as crazy as it sounds.
They stayed like that for a while before they both let go , in order to lighten the mood Ezra said "Do you want dessert?", with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes , Astrea noticed this and held his hand in hers making him look up, she then said "If you ever need to talk to anyone I'm here okay",she. looked at him waiting for him to answer and so he did "I am glad I have some one to talk to", he said sounding extremely grateful .
And with that they ate an extremely fancy cheesecake once they were done they packed up and headed to the car where he opened the door and drove her back home once they got infront of her house he turned to look at her and she did same as he. stared at her with his intense sapphire gaze she found herself growing more conscious so she said "Why are you staring?!"
"Has anyone ever told you that you look like a goddess with those green eyes",Ezra said maintaining eye contact, If Astrea was enchanted by his blue eyes,then he was entranced and enamored by her emerald eyes those eyes that held secrets,dreams and hopes that he wanted to find out and dreams he wanted to help her achieved.
"What did you say?!",She said as if not believing it with a blush on her face.
"You heard me, I said you look like a goddess with those green eyes",Ezra said with a smirk.
