Alexa looked over her outfit in her mirror, she was wearing a pair of dark blue jeans, with a white tank top underneath a pink off the shoulder shirt, and she completed her look with a pair of white sandals with rhinestones around the straps. Her hair was straight, and her make was done light, Alexa picked up her purse and headed downstairs to wait for Ted.

The hours leading up to eight o' clock were spent texting Ted trying to get him to tell her where they were going; all he would tell her was that she should dress casual. Alexa nervously walked to the door as someone knocked on it, as she opened it she saw Ted standing in front of her in a pair of khaki shorts and a black t-shirt; he looked amazing even in the simplest clothes.

"Hey gorgeous," he smiled as she opened the door. He had only seen her with curly hair; she looked even more beautiful with her hair straight. 'I didn't think it was even possible for her to look more beautiful,' Ted thought to himself.

"Hey," Alexa smiled. "Let me grab my purse and lock up the apartment," Alexa said as she walked back inside to grab her purse, making sure her keys were inside before locking the door to her apartment. "So are you going to tell me where we're going yet?"

"No," Ted smiled. "You'll see soon enough," Ted said as the two walked to his car. Ted opened the passenger door, letting Alexa in before getting into the driver's seat.

There was a comfortable silence between the two until they reached their destination, "We're going to the beach?" Alexa asked as Ted parked the car.

Ted smiled and said nothing as he exited the car and made his way to the passenger side and opened the door, holding his hand out as Alexa placed hers in his. As they approached the beach Alexa saw a blanket spread across the sand, with a basket on one end and champagne and two glasses in the middle. Ted looked over at Alexa as they approached her blanket; she was smiling as she looked down at the blanket.

"This is amazing," she said as the two sat down on the blanket. "I don't think I've ever had a date on the beach," Alexa said, not even realizing she used the word date.

"Is that what this is?" Ted asked. "A date?"

"Well," Alexa started. "I mean," she stammered, she was beyond embarrassed; this man just set up this beautiful picnic for her and she went and assumed too much of it.

Ted noticed her nervousness and spoke up, "That's what I want it to be."

Alexa smiled, "Then it's a date."

Ted smiled as he popped open the bottle of champagne, pouring the two a glass. "A toast," he started. "To our first date," Ted held up his glass and clicked it with Alexa's.

The two spent the rest of the night on the beach laughing, talking, eating strawberries, and drinking champagne. Alexa had about five glasses and she was beginning to feel the buzz.

"So," she said as she stood up and took her shirt and tank top off. "Let's go swimming," she smiled as she kicked off her shoes and unbuttoned her jeans.

"You know the water is probably cold, right?" Ted smiled as he stood up.

"Look, I understand if you're scared but I'm going in," Alexa said as she slid down her pants.

Ted took a second to look over Alexa; she was now wearing a pink lace bra with matching boy short underwear. Ted had to shake off the thoughts he was having before responding to Alexa. "I'm not scared," he said as he removed his shirt and shorts.

Now it was Alexa's turn to stare, this man had an amazing body and the looks he was giving her mixed with the buzz she was feeling from the alcohol began to stir up feelings inside her. Shaking off her thoughts she smirked at Ted, "Last one there's a rotten egg." Alexa quickly bolted for the water, squealing in shock as the cold water hit her body.

Alexa then felt two warm arms wrap around her waist, "No fair," Ted said. "You got a head start."

Alexa smiled as the two stood in the ocean together, the water coming up to Alexa's chest, "I'm sorry." Alexa wrapped her arms around Ted's neck, "How can I make it up to you?"

"I can think of a few things," Ted smirked. "But this will be just fine," Ted said before leaning in and placing his lips onto Alexa's. Alexa hesitated at first but it wasn't long until she granted Ted full access to her mouth. Getting lost in his kiss, Alexa didn't even realize she was being carried out of the water until her back landed on the warmth of the picnic blanket. Ted moved his kisses from her mouth down to her neck, rubbing her breast with one hand while the other rubbed on her through her panties. Alexa never thought she would end up giving herself to a guy this fast but everything felt right with Ted; she felt safe.

About an hour later the two laid there naked after their amazing sexual adventure. Alexa laid on Ted's chest as Ted stroked her hair.

Reaching beside him to grab his shorts Ted pulled his phone out of one of the pockets before speaking, "It's one in the morning, I think we should head back."

"Yeah," Alexa said as she sat up and gathered her clothes before getting dressed while Ted did the same. They gathered the stuff from the picnic and walked back to the car. After putting everything in the trunk Alexa made her way towards the passenger door before she felt Ted grab her hand. As she turned around Ted captured her lips in a kiss, pressing her up against the car; the feelings from earlier began coming back.

The two smiled at each other before getting into the car and making their way back to Alexa's apartment.

Ted parked the car and got out, opening Alexa's door and helping her out of the car.

"So I was thinking," Ted said as they began walking to Alexa's apartment. "You have the next two weeks free and Jaysen is with his dad, right?"

"Yeah," Alexa said as she nodded her head.

"And tonight was amazing," Ted added. "I really want to see where things can go between the two of us."

"So do I," Alexa smiled.

"I leave for a west coast tour on Friday and I'll be gone for twelve days," Ted said. "I was wondering if there was any chance you would want to come with me."

Alexa looked at Ted surprised and speechless.

"If you don't want to I understand and I know things are kind of moving fast but I have never felt this way about anyone before. The moment our eyes met in the bar I felt the sparks fly. If you come with me on this tour it will make me the happiest man alive and if you say no I'll understand, I'll take this as slow as you want me to," he said as he took both of Alexa's hands in his.

Alexa decided that now would be a perfect time to follow her heart, "Yeah, I'll go."
