A/N: I want to thank Montana Magic for beta reading this chapter for me!
Tyler stood in front of Val's front door. He was dressed in a blue button down shirt and a pair of black slacks that hung loosely around his waist. Black leather dress shoes that only see the light of day during his mother's insane dinner parties found their way to his feet. Tyler's naturally wavy blond hair was brushed into place with a light coating of gel. He fidgeted with a single long stem red rose between his fingers. Feeling overwhelmed, Tyler couldn't help but stare at his shoes.
Val opened the door. Tyler's gaze quickly shifted upwards. His eyes studied Val's long legs, then her blue skirt, and continued onto her white sweater. He noticed the delicate string of pearls that hung around her long neck. Her hair was pinned up with two small clips. She looked amazing. Tyler stood in a silent gaze.
"Hi Tyler!" Val greeted. She grabbed her purse from the hallway and proceeded to close the door behind her.
"Um . . . this . . . is . . . for . . ." Tyler stammered as he lifted up his left hand to give Val the long stemmed rose.
"That's sweet. Thank you." Val took the rose and slowly inhaled the sweet aroma.

"Dinner was great Tyler!" Val exclaimed for the millionth time.
"No problem. I'm glad you enjoyed it," Tyler replied as his face turned a shade of red.
Although the nervousness faded during dinner, it seemed to have reappeared as the night was almost over.
Val and Tyler were walking around the garden of the restaurant until they reached a fountain. The fountain was lit with soft pastel blue lights. It glowed as it spouted water in the dark night. It was showcased perfectly with little white lights illuminating the path leading up to the fountain.
"I think you're suppose to throw change into it," Val said as she observed the change that was collecting at the bottom of the fountain. She opened up her purse and rummaged around, looking for some loose change.
"Found it!" Val announced triumphantly. She opened up her palm exposing two silver coins. "Want to make a wish?"
Tyler smiled. Val was beautiful, but under the soft blue lights emitted by the fountain, he found it hard to breathe. "Sure."
Val placed a quarter in his palm. She turned to face the fountain. Val closed her eyes and remained silent for a moment. Then with great force, she threw the coin into the fountain. "Your turn!"
Tyler closed his eyes and made his wish. He gently tossed the quarter into the water.
"Do you think our wishes will come true?" Val asked curiously.
"I hope so," he replied.
As Val's gaze was fixed on the fountain, Tyler gently put his hand on her soft cheek. She returned his deep look and found herself lost in his clear blue eyes. Val's knees grew weak. He gently approached her and their lips met. First the kiss was soft but it quickly grew passionate. After what seemed like just a moment, the two broke apart to catch their breath.
"My wish came true" Val admitted quietly. She snuggled up against his chest further allowing his strong arms to keep her warm.
Tyler took a deep breath and inhaled the sweet scent of Val's shampoo.
"So did mine." Tyler managed to say as his lips once again found their way over to hers.
