“I’m so happy for you both!” I sat excitedly and hug her.

We walk again and by the time we make it to the family and friends area; the guys are already there waiting with King and Dean.

“Hey guys.” I say.

“Ladies.” comes from King.

“What’s up?” Dean greets.

“Great game tonight.” Heather tells them.

“Ready to head home?” Ty asks.

I let out a chuckle. I’m sure he is ready to head home.

“What’s so funny over there?” Dean asks.

“Nothing. I was just thinking about the surprise for the gala next week.” I inform him.

Cole is looking at me like he doesn’t buy it, but Dean does, and that’s all that matters right now.

“Catch you guys later.” Cole tells the guys and we all head out.

Once we get home, I say good night to Heather and Ty as they go inside the house. Cole walks me to my door.

“I’ll see you tomorrow at ten thirty.” Cole reminds me of what time he will pick me up.

“Still no hint of where we are going?” I ask him.

“All I will tell you is that we are having a proper date.”

“Okay, okay. I’m really excited about it.” I tell him.

“Good. So am I.” he agrees.

“And the dress code is casual, but comfy?” I ask.

“Yes, Sugar.” he confirms.

“Okay.” I tell him.

“Okay, I’ll see you tomorrow. Good night.” Cole says.

He leans in and gives me a kiss. He keeps it short and sweet.

I head inside and lock the door. Cole leaves once he hears the click of lock.

I go straight to my bedroom and flop on my bed.

Cole has barreled through all of my walls I had up. I know I’m falling for him and I don’t know how to feel about it. On one hand, it feels amazing because he is so good to me. He listens and takes my feelings into account. Even if we haven’t been officially dating long. I know I avoided my feelings towards him for months, but during that time we got to know each other.And in my heart, that counts for something, maybe everything. Falling for him just feels right.

My thoughts go back to tomorrow. What does this man have planned? I know I’ll love it because he is extremely thoughtful when he plans things for me.

With that notion, I get up and get ready for bed.

“Good Morning Sugar.”Cole says and drops a kiss on my cheek.

“Good Morning Casanova.” I tell him.
