A/N: Sorry for not updating sooner. I've had a crazy case of writer's block. And homework. And I'm just completely stressed out. This chapter is gonna be mostly in Eli's POV since I don't really expand on his point of view too much. Sooo, here goes nothing.

Eli's POV

I was driving in Morty blasting my favorite Dead Hand cd, when I felt my pants pocket vibrate. I parked Morty in front of a park, grabbed my phone and checked my text messages.

Hey! : ) I smiled because I immediately knew it was from Lexi.

Hey babe. Miss me that much?

Obviously. Or I wouldn't have bothered to text you. : P I laughed to myself because I knew I'd found an amazing girl. One who can keep up with my sarcastic and snarky remarks without even having to think about it. And then I had a brilliant beyond brilliant idea.

Can you meet me in the park at 3 by the lake?

Sure! See you then : )

I decided that I was gonna plan a special date for Lexi. After everything that happened with Owen and Fitz we've only been able to go on one or two dates and she deserves more than that. She deserves the whole world, and if I could, I'd give it to her. I decided I needed some help, so I called Adam and had him drive over to the park with blankets, candles, a lot of food, and rose petals.

"Dude, why did I need to bring all this stuff?" Adam complained.

"'Cause I'm planning a special date for Lexi and I needed help."

"Oh that makes sense, I'm spending MY Saturday to help plan a date for NOT MY girlfriend." Adam stated sarcastically.

"Exactly. Now help me with these candles." We finished about 20 minutes before Lexi was supposed to meet me, so I told Adam to leave before she got here. When Lexi showed up, I was speechless. She was wearing black skinny jeans with rips in them and a bright pink tank top with a white jacket. Her hair was in a high ponytail and her bangs were down. Only she could make something so simple so beautiful. I walked up to her and wrapped my arms around her waist and her hands found their way to my dark hair. I leaned down and whispered in her ear.

"You look amazing."

"You don't look to bad yourself." I closed the gap between us and tightened my grip on her waist. I licked her bottom lip and she opened her mouth. It was by far, the best kiss we had ever shared together. After about a minute, she pulled away and looked deep into my eyes.

"Just in case I never told you, you're amazing." She smiled

"I'm only amazing for you, Lexi." She looked down to try and hide the blush that I already knew was there.

"So, is there a reason why you had me come down here and leave the comfort of my room?"

"Well, I thought we could enjoy a nice picnic by the water, but if you have other things you would-"

"Aaaahhh! Are you serious? I love picnics!" I laughed as she took off running to the lake where I set up our food. "Eli! You're such a slowpoke! Hurry up!" She stopped running when she got there and I silently crept up behind her and whispered in her ear.

"Well, I'd like to think I'm pretty fast."

"Eli! What are you doing? You almost gave me a heart attack?" She said as she playfully slapped my arm.

"What? You told me to hurry up. " I laughed.

"I know, this is all my fault." She stated sarcastically. We sat down on the blanket and talked about any and everything, until I asked Lexi,

"Babe?"

"Yes."

"Why do you sing the American national anthem at football games instead of the Canadian anthem?"

"Oh, the football coach knows I'm from the states so he lets me sing the anthem that I know, and he plays the Canadian anthem on cd before I sing. Once I learn all the words to the Canadian anthem, I'll sing both."

"Oh, that's awesome. So, pretty soon I'll get to hear you sing for twice as long as I normally do?" She laughed.

"You're such a dork."

"Take that back, missy."

"What if I don't want to?" She smirked.

"Oh, so someone's sassy today?"

"I'm always sassy Goldsworthy." I leaned in and soon enough we were having a staring contest.

"You're gonna blink Lexi. I glare at people all the time. You, on the other hand, are too nice to glare."

"Okay, I can't do it, you win!" I smirked.

"I never lose." She gave me a weird look, then looked into my eyes.

"Will you hold me, so I can watch the sunset?" I laughed.

"What's so funny?" She asked.

"The fact that you asked me to hold you just so you can watch the sunset."

"Well, I love being held, especially by you; it makes me feel protected- like nothing can touch me when I'm in your arms. Before I met you, I was so broken, I thought that no one could make me whole again, but every time I look into your eyes, you prove me wrong." She smiled at me.

"As long as I'm here, I promise you that you'll always be safe and you'll always be in my arms." She leaned up and pecked my lips and we sat and watched the sunset together. In that moment, I have never felt happier in my life.

A/N: That sucked! I know! I'm sorry, I think there's gonna be some drama next chapter or a confession from someone. Probably both. So, review pretty please! That would make me extremely happy : ).
