A couple of days later I was waiting for Ben to pick me up for our next date; and even though when he was with me he wouldn't tell me what we were doing. The only thing he would tell me was that when we were halfway there he pulled his dark blue tie off and blind folded me; and yes romantic gestures still felt foreign to me and I couldn't wait to see what Ben had planned for the pair of us.

My stomach started to flutter when I felt the car come to a stop; my mouth went dry and I gulped as I heard Ben chuckle at me. I then let Ben help me out of his limousine and he held both of my hands in front of me as he guided me over what sounded like a short path covered in gravel.

"Ben can I please take this off?" I asked as I slowly continued to let him lead me wherever he was taking me.

"I'm starting to get scared" I confessed as my stomach started to burn in panic.

"There's nothing to be scared of" I heard him answer as he gave my hands a gentle and reassuring squeeze.

"I'm not going to hurt you" he chuckled.

"That is not my concern Ben" I muttered as I tried to see if I could tell where we were by the smells around us. I could smell a strong smell of rose petals; green moss and fresh cut grass. However this could be anywhere in Auradon - unfortunately.

"My concern is tripping over" I advised as I started to hear us walk on wooden floorboards.

"I wouldn't allow that" he dismissed.

"Anyway-" he started as he made me stand still.

"We are here" he said and I could tell by the sound of his voice that he was smiling.

"We are?" I asked and I let a large grin spread across my face as my stomach started to ebb the panic away.

"Yes" he chuckled.

"Take off your blind fold" he advised and I pulled his tie from my head and my eyes winced at the bright light. I then gasped when my eyes fell onto our date as I handed him his tie. Ben had put up a white sheet on one side of the boat house at the lake at Auradon Castle; and on the floor there was a picnic basket on a dark blue picnic blanket. In the distance I could see a projector was nearly set up and there were bright coloured lanterns littering the walls lighting the dark room up.

"What is all this?" I asked as Ben closed the dark blue wooden door behind us.

"Date five" he grinned as he slid his right hand into my left and he started to lead me towards the picnic basket.

"I said I was going to push the boat out" he reminded me happily.

"I can see" I smiled as I let my eyes roam over the room once more.

"I know it might not look like much; but I know that you appreciate things like this more than going out" he said and I looked over to him.

"Yes" I muttered.

"Yes I do" I added as I smiled at him.

"You remembered" I muttered once more.

"Yes" he chuckled.

"Everything" he smiled broadly.

"Thank you" I said and I dropped his hand and I wrapped my arms around his waist and pulled him tightly against me. I loved him so much it was unreal; he meant the world to me and I would show him this every single day.

"You're welcome baby" he answered lovingly as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"What's the white sheet for?" I asked as I looked up at him.

"I thought we could look at old photos together" he stated.

"Really?" I asked slowly. I loved how much effort that Ben had put into our date; and he was right he was really pushing the boat out (if you would pardon the pun). I just hoped that looking at old photos wasn't going to bring up the bad memories that surrounded our break up.

"Yeah" he smiled.

"We don't have to if you don't want to" he offered as he pulled one brow up at me.

"No I want to" I urged as I lifted my arms up and I rested both of my hands against his chest.

"You have my curiosity peeked" I smiled up at him and I heard him chuckle at me.

"Give me a second to set it up" he advised and I nodded at him. Ben then stepped away from me and walked up to the projector; and as I watched as he set it up. I couldn't help but look at Ben in awe; he was such a pure and innocent person. Yes at times I felt like I didn't want to taint him with my old life and history but Ben was what I needed. He was the light to my dark; and he wanted to save me and I was going to let him.
