iving more smiles than I’ve seen from her yet, I feel like this idea of mine might not suck. I’m going to take her by a few of the famous spots, Central Park, Times Square, Rockefeller Center, and lastly the Empire State Building. Now that is where this night will begin.

She has long pulled away from me and even in her sexy dress she jumps from seat to seat taking in everything I point out along the way. She’s amazed by pretty much everything, from the homeless to the traffic jams. I find it endearing that these little things, things most of us find annoying, are so intriguing to her. I want to get out and walk around, let her feel the energy and the excitement, but I know if we do the rest of my plan will turn to shit. The fans will follow and the peaceful night I’m hoping for will be shot to hell.

Brooklyn doesn’t seemed bothered by the fact we are looking at the city through tinted windows, in fact when it gets dark and all the lights come the excitement on her face is priceless. “Fitz, this city is just alluring at night. Thank you for this, it is more than I could ever have imagined.”

If only she had my imagination. “Cheapest date I’ve ever had,” I chuckle.

She folds her arms and an expression I’ve never seen her make crosses her face. I don’t know if she is hurt or pissed. “Geez, thanks.”

“No, I didn’t mean it like that. Shit, I just meant that I hardly spent any money and you are more excited than most of the dates I go on,” I say, trying to explain myself.

“Fitz, this isn’t a date,” she says and turns her back to me.

What the hell is wrong with me? Everything I say or do seems to be the wrong thing. It’s like I’m off my game or maybe it’s not that at all. Maybe she’s just so far out of my league that my game would only disgust her. I roll my eyes at myself. I don’t even know what the fuck I’m thinking anymore.

“Brooklyn, I know this isn’t a date. I was just saying my dates, not meaning this is a date. Christ,” I say tugging my own hair. I close my eyes for a second to try to collect my thoughts and when I open them, she is staring at me. “I wasn’t implying this was a date. I just meant usually when I go out, with anyone, I spend a hell of a lot of money and they aren’t nearly as appreciative as you.” We pull up to the Empire State Building and the driver parks as close as possible. “I’d like to finish this evening with one last surprise, if you’d allow me.”

Without hesitation, she holds her tiny hand out for me. “I’d love to.”

The driver opens our door and we step out of the limo hands intertwined. I take a deep breath knowing this is a risk I normally don’t take with women. The breeze catches a loose tendril of her hair and it flies across her face. My heart pounds in my chest seeing the wonder in her eyes.

We step through the glass doors of the Empire State Building and Brooklyn gasps at the large foyer completely void of people. A big, burly man approaches and I stick out my hand for him to shake.

“Fitz, it’s an honor to have you tonight. I’m Pete and Jerry filled me in on everything. It is all set and ready,” he says, holding a hand out to me.

As I shake his hand, Brooklyn comes to stand by me. “Nice to meet you Pete. This beautiful woman is Brooklyn.” He shakes her hand and gives me a nod of approval, but when she turns her head he fucking undresses her with his eyes. Son of a bitch. “Brooklyn, I just need to talk to Pete for a second,” I say and grab his shirt pulling him away. I let go, but not before giving him a little shove. “Keep your dick in your pants. She’s a friend and I don’t appreciate you, eye fucking her. Got it?”

“Yes, sorry, I didn’t mean any disrespect,” he says and shoves his hands in his pockets as a bead of sweat falls down the center of his forehead, falling onto the tip of his chubby nose.

“You disrespected her and I don’t take kindly to that. Don’t let it happen again.” He agrees and starts to back away. “I think I’ve got it from here. Is my waitress up there?”

“Yes, she is waiting for you. Please, Fitz, accept my apology. I need my job,” he says as his pupils bounce back and forth between mine. He’s lucky I feel for him and his need to keep a job, otherwise I’d already be on the phone with his boss.

I just nod and walk toward Brooklyn. When I reach her, I rest my hand on the small of her back. “You ready to see the top?”

“Definitely,” she says and we get into the steel elevator.

Being in this enclosed space, alone, with her is making me want to push her against the wall and ravage her body. Get on my knees and sink my tongue deep inside her. I want to see if all of her tastes as sweet as her coconut scent. My mouth waters and I lick my lips watching her in the mirrored walls.

The elevator opens on the eighty-sixth floor and we exit, making our way to the outside observatory. She stands there taking in the beauty of the city below us. The bright lights of the buildings giving us a magical display. I wrap my arms around her waist and grin. “What do you think?”

“It’s eerily peaceful being up this high, almost like flying while standing still.” She turns her head with the sexy smile in place.

Moving to stand next to me, we make our way to look over at the city. When we can go no further, she wraps her arms around my waist, standing as close as possible. We don’t say anything for a few minutes, just take in the city or in my case I take her in. Out of the corner of my eye I watch her, while she watches the city below.

“Fitz, this is just unreal.” she says holding a bit tighter when a wind gust hits us.

“The view is stunning,” I say, never once taking my eyes off her.

She turns her head and when she realizes what I mean, she blushes with a small smile. “I’m surprised we are the only ones here, to be honest.” She’s trying to change the subject and I wonder if it’s because of her lame ass boyfriend or she doesn’t know how to take a compliment.

“Actually, I rented the space just for us,” I say, watching her reaction closely.

She backs up, head shaking with wide eyes. She covers her mouth with one hand as I try not to smile. “You what?”

“If I didn’t do that, there is no way we would be able to talk or enjoy our time here. Fans would be all over us and I figured you’d like the privacy.” I reach my hand out for her to take it.

She looks at it and back at my face. “So wait, you’re telling me you paid to have the Empire State Building closed to just us?”
