When the bell rang signaling the end of school I zoomed out of the classroom so fast I was sure that a trail of smoke was lingering behind me. I didn't even stop at my locker to grab the necessary books I was going to need to do my homework. That would have to be forgotten. Tonight was about Vincent and me. No distractions.

        As I pulled into the driveway of my house, I pulled out the letter and read over it again. I ran inside and planted a kiss on my mom and dad's cheek. They were standing around a Christmas tree, hanging decorations on it.

"Hey mom, hey dad. Bye mom, bye dad."

"Hold on, where are you going in such a hurry?" My mom called.

"I have a date with Vincent. I need to go get ready."

My dad's jaw tightened and he squinted his eyes at me. "And what are you planning on doing during this date?"

"I don't know yet, but I can't wait to find out." In fear of being questioned anymore, I dashed up the stairs and burst into my room. I was kind of out of breath considering all the running I'd just did since school let out. I really should start working out.

Okay, so I needed to find the perfect outfit. He'd said not to wear heels and to dress warmly. I was really in the mood to doll myself up. I wanted to look really pretty for him. I wasn't sure how I was going to make myself look beautiful and still be warm. I was definitely sacrificing something.

 I started ripping through my closet searching for clothes. Everything was flying everywhere and I had no intention of stopping my search. Now, what should I wear? I really wanted to wear a dress. The only problem is that the only dresses I wear that I can wear with sandals are my sundresses. Wearing one of those is out of the question considering I'm going out at night. I don't want to dress to fancy or too casual so I'm kind of at a loss here.

I threw myself on my bed and sighed. This was hopeless. "Grrr. I'm just going to go straight nude. No clothes or anything. I'm sure Vincent won't mind."

"Yeah but I'm sure the rest of the public will." A voice said across my room.

I was so startled I nearly jumped out of my skin. I looked over and saw Christie, Kendall, Megan, and Danielle. They all had bags in their hands and devious smiles on their face.

"What are you guys doing here," I asked.

"We're here to help, duh." Danielle said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world

"But, how did you-"

"The walls talk." Christie smiled. "Now shut up and let us help you. Megan, get the hair station ready. Dani, you're on make-up duty. Kendall run her bath and I'm going to find her the most smoking outfit ever."

After four hours of gruesome plucking, primping, shaving, curling, burning, squeezing, fighting, and searching, I was finally ready to go. Christie and I managed to find the perfect outfit for me. It was a white, pink floral print, halter top that fanned out on the bottom; a black jacket that stopped halfway down my back; some black skinnies that hugged every inch of my thighs, much to my delight; and a pair of black flats that were to die for. Meagan decided to curl my hair loosely, which really allowed them to look natural. Dani's make-up was exquisite. She gave me beautiful pink lips and a light pink eye shadow with really dark mascara and eyeliner. It really brought out the color of my eyes.

I was in complete awe that I had friends that amazing. I didn't even have to ask them for help and they were right there for me. Friends don't get much better than that. "Thanks you guys. This really means a lot to me."

"It was nothing." Kendall said. "You'd do the same for us."

I smiled and nodded.

"Hey, I feel a group hug coming on." Megan stated.

I outspread my arms and jugged my friends closely. I really truly loved them.

"Rose, someone's at the door for you."  My mom called from downstairs.

I pulled out of the group hug and bounced around a little. I couldn't contain my excitement. I was so happy that I was going to be able to see Vincent again. I'd missed him so much in the last week. I couldn't wait to see him again. I whispered one last thank you to the girls and ran down the steps to the door.

The girls were watching me from the banister. They all gave me a thumbs up so I took a deep breath and opened the door. An old man in a black tux stood there. Definitely not Vincent.

"Um, who are you?" I asked.

"Why I'm your chauffer. Mr. LeClaire has instructed me to escort you to where you are supposed to be."

I smiled and took his outstretched hand. When he moved from in front of me I was shocked to find a limo behind him. It was black and beautiful. Vincent was doing a great job of impressing me. The chauffer opened my door and closed it before going to his own side and getting in.

"Um, do you know where we're supposed to be going?" I questioned before he pulled off.

He turned around and I was shocked to see Adam instead of the old man. He winked at me and smiled. "It's a secret."

Vincent POV

Everything was all set for Rose's arrival. I'd been planning so much for her for the past week that I was barely got 3 hours of sleep for the last week. The only thing keeping me from falling asleep was the thought of Rose's beautiful face coming to see me.

I'd never been in love before so it was all a new thing to me. Everyone told me to be natural and that would be enough, but I didn't think it would. I needed to prove my love to her. I wanted her to be sure about me. Maybe that was why she couldn't say I love you back. I did have quite a reputation. It's quite understandable that she can't trust me enough to completely give her heart to me. That's why I was doing all of this. I wanted to show her just how much I loved her.

I got a text from Tyler saying that Adam and Rose just made it. Okay its show time. I walked outside the building with a smile on my face. I was trying not to show how nervous I really was.

As Adam held open the door for Rose I realized I was holding my breath. I exhaled it slowly, but I stopped the moment she came into my line of sight. She looked stunning. Her legs looked long, and that halter top looked amazing on her. The only thing she'd look better in would be my shirt. I really needed to stop thinking about her like that if I ever wanted to make it through this night.

She walked toward me with a big smile on her face. I was sure I was mimicking her. "I missed you." She whispered tossing her arms around my neck and playing with my hair. The motion alone set goose bumps shooting up my spine.

My arms wrapped around her waist and I brushed my lips against hers. "Not more than I missed you."

And with that her lips were crashing onto mine. I pressed her closer to me as our lips danced in sync. I've kissed plenty of girls in my life but Rose's kisses were by far the best. Was kissing a girl even allowed to feel this amazing? It should be illegal for this many butterflies to be in my stomach at once. I let my tongue graze her lip and she smiled and pulled away.

"That's enough for now. I want to see my surprise."

I was disappointed but if it meant making her happy it was worth it.  I intertwined her fingers and pulled a blindfold out of my back pocket.

"Aw, Vincent come on." She complained.

"Nope. You asked for your surprise so I want to give you that experience fully."

She pouted and as much as I wanted to give in, I didn't. I closed my eyes and stood behind her. I opened my eyes, tied the blindfold on her, and led her into the building. We got straight onto the elevator and she gripped my hand tighter. When we stepped out I made sure all the last minute preparations were ready. Everything looked in order. I just hope that she likes it.

"Are you ready?" I whispered in her ear.

She smiled and nodded. In one swift movement I pulled the blindfold off and I watched her reaction.

Rose POV

I was definitely expecting Vincent to do something sweet, but not this sweet. When he ripped the blindfold off, I was taken aback. We were on top of a roof that had an amazing view of the city. The rim of the roof was covered in candles. It was so illuminating. In the center of all of this was a table with a white table cloth draped over it. There was a single candle in the center and rose petals were all over the table. There was also one of those silver trays with a top on it in the center.

I looked over at Vincent and he was holding a single white rose. I took it out of his hand and toyed with the petals for a minute. "You know," I started, looking towards him. "Just because my name is Rose, doesn't mean I like roses. In fact, I don't even like them."

The smile that was on his face dropped and he immediately looked worried. "Shit, I'm sorry Rose. I didn't even think about it. I'll take it back and get something else. I'm really sorry. I just ruined your whole night didn't I?"

I started laughing and he looked at me confused. I kissed him softly and smiled. "Too easy."

"Oh you're so bad." He teased. "But you seriously made me think this night was ruined."

"I'm sorry. I actually adore roses."

"Good." He placed a very light kiss on my nose. "But let's not let this night go to waste. It took a lot of hard work to make all of this happen."

I rolled my eyes and pushed away from him, still keeping our fingers interlocked. He led us to the table and pulled out my chair for me to sit. Wow! He was really becoming quite the gentleman.

"So what's for dinner?" I asked as he sat in the chair across from mine.

"Well, I've always wanted to do the lady and the tramp thing so, spaghetti." He pulled the top of the tray and uncovered the mountain of spaghetti.

"Well spaghetti is one of my favorite foods so what makes you think I'm going to share?"

'The fact that you want to kiss me as bad as I want to kiss you."

I laughed and started eating the food. Throughout the rest of dinner Vincent and I continued to joke around playfully. We actually did end up doing the lady and the tramp thing a few times. When we finished all we could of the food Vincent decided that we should walk it off. I was completely okay with that. I grabbed my rose off the center of the table and we made our way to the lobby and out the door.

"So where to next?" I asked.

"I think there's a park somewhere around here." He answered.

"Well let's go find it."

I can't remember the last time I'd ever had so much fun with a guy. I really could spend every day like this with Vincent. We were so perfect for each other. I was never one of those girls who thought really far into the future about their jobs, husbands, or children. Lately though, since I started dating Vincent, I couldn't get those thoughts out of my head. I could easily imagine walking down an aisle getting married to him. Then, a couple months after that, announcing to my family that I was pregnant...

I had to tell him about Jessica before it was too late. But I really didn't want to ruin this date. I was happy; he was happy; how could I tell him that and ruin our night? And to top everything off he was already in love with the thought of being a dad. I didn't want to strip that way from him.

"Rose... Rose... Are you even listening to me?"

I glanced up at him and he was smiling at me. "What? Oh, I'm sorry. What did you say?"

"I asked if you wanted to get ice cream." He chuckled.

"My stomach is actually feeling bad." I said clutching it.

"Are you okay?" He sat me on a bench and then sat beside me.

"Have you ever needed to tell someone something but you knew it would hurt them so you were torn between telling them and keeping it to yourself?"

"Rose I'm really bad at reading between the lines, so if you're trying to tell me something please just say it."

I looked him in the eyes and swallowed the lump that was in my throat. "Jessica isn't pregnant."
