Jenny paced within her closet. Pretty much every item of her clothing were scattered over the floor. Dresses, skirts, blouses, trousers... Damn, damn, damn, she thought to herself. This is ridiculous! It's our first date and I can't find the matching outfit. Which is pathetic, he already saw me naked!

Nevertheless she kept searching through her closet. Nate didn't tell her where they would go. He only said that it would be a surprise. During the past week they had both a lot of work to catch up, and neither of them could break free. This was the first evening since their night that they would spend together again.

Jenny finally decided to wear a simple black dress. It would be casual but also elegant and sexy. That would fit. It was a silk, body tight dress. The skirt ending shortly over her knees and spaghetti straps holding the top. If Nate doesn't like this dress, I really don't know.

She pinned her hair up and put some light make up on. Just as she was ready her door bell rang. With a lot of anticipation she literally ran down the stairs, yelling towards the door that she was coming. Only to stop in front of the door to catch her breath, straighten her dress and check on her hair.

She opened the door to greet Nate. He leaned against the door frame with a smile on his face. He wore a black suit with a black shirt, no tie or bow fly.

"Wow, you look amazing and as I see, we had the same thought about the color. What a match", he complimented her and before Jenny could answer he pulled a huge bouquet of red roses from the side and held it in front of her.

"For the most gorgeous and wonderful girl in the world", he said with an even bigger smile while leaning forward to kiss her hello.

After a few minutes he pulled back and Jenny took the flowers from him. "Thanks, they are beautiful. And you look very handsome, but obviously no time for a shave, huh?", she teased while eying his growing beard.

He scratched shortly over his chin. "Nope, not really. There was too much to do at the Spectator. Sorry, you don't like it, or?"

"Nah, it's fine with me. Actually you look quite sexy with it. Even more grown up and manly", she retorted.

"Manly? I thought I already proofed that part. But, I won't mind to do it again later this night", he wiggled his eyebrows and smirked smugly.

"I bet you do. So, where are we going to?", she asked nosy.

"You'll see when we get there. Ready to leave?"

XoXoXo

They drove round about twenty minutes when Nate's limo pulled to the side way and the driver opened the door to let them out. Nate got out first and held his hand out to help Jenny exiting the car.

She gazed curiously around, wondering where they were. They stood in front of a park entrance, but the surroundings were unfamiliar to her.

"Where are we? Is this still New York?", she asked quietly, gazing around.

Nate chuckled slightly and grabbed her hand. "Sure it is. We only drove twenty minutes, Jen. We are in Harlem", Nate stated matter of fact.

They had talked during the entire ride about their tasks and work of last week. Jenny was so caught up in their conversation that she didn't pay any attention to the outside. Why bothering to look out of the window if the best sight was right in front of you?

"In Harlem?", she shrieked a little. "You're kidding, right?

"Nope, I'm not. And yes, Harlem may not be the best place to take a girl on a date, but our destination will be. So come on, we have a little more to walk", he said while starting to walk.

Jenny gazed unsure towards Nate. Her eyes filled with worry and disbelief. "You want to enter that park?"

Nate chuckled again. "Yes, we want to enter that park. It's just a park Jenny, nothing to be afraid of. I'm pretty positive that there will be no gang waiting to rob us. Can we please go now? There is something I want you to see", he motioned for her towards the park.

Jenny hesitated shortly and then started to follow him. He took her hand and intertwined their fingers, leading them to walking side by side.

"No need to worry, seriously. I would never let anything happen to you", he said with fierce in his voice.

She smiled up at him and nodded. "I just didn't expect you to take me to Harlem. It just kind of caught me off-guard."

"Well, it is strange, true. But trust me, you'll love our destination", he remarked secretive.

Jenny giggled a little and gazed up at him. "As long as you are with me, I'll love every place on this planet no matter how fucked up it may be."

He stopped in his tracks and pulled her close to him. Wrapping both arms around her waist, gazing down in her marvelous blue eyes which were shiny and sparkling. Without a further word he leaned in and captured her lips in a searing kiss. His tongue playing with hers while his lips pecking hers.

He continued kissing her for a while before pulling back again, leaning his forehead against hers, gazing straight into her eyes again.

"Do you have any clue on how much I love you?", he asked with a husky, low voice. His lips grazing a small seductive smile.

"Well, I couldn't say right now", she replied innocently, "but I might get an idea during tonight's events. And this kiss was a good starter. So, where are you going to take me tonight, Nate Archibald?"

He smiled even wider now. "Heaven, pure heaven!"

With that said, Nate stood straight again and started to walk into the park, dragging Jenny with him. They walked round about ten minutes when a sign above an entrance finally gave Jenny her answer about their destination.

"The New York Botanic Garden?", she asked incredulous. "Isn't it closed at this time of hours?"

Nate smirked only at her and kept walking towards the entrance. An older man was standing besides the ticket booth and seemed to be waiting for something, or someone. When he saw the young couple approaching a smile crept on his face.

"Ahh, Mr. Archibald. There you are. I was already worried that you wouldn't make it. It's a little late", the man greeted Nate.

"Yeah, sorry for that, Mr. Phillips. We got shortly caught up. But now we are here. May I introduce you to my girlfriend, this is Jenny Humphrey. Jenny, this is Mr. Johnathan Phillips, he runs this wonderful garden", Nate introduced both of them.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Humphrey. I read so much good things about you in the press. The new fashion star of New York", Mr. Phillips said kindly.

Jenny blushed a little. Getting all that attention still flattered her. "Thank you, too kind. And it's a pleasure meeting you too", she retorted politely.

"Well, everything is set up, Mr. Archibald. Shall we?", he asked Nate.

"We shall. We will follow you, so lead the way", Nate answered without any further small talk.

Jenny gazed at both men, not understanding what they were talking about. Obviously this was Nate's surprise, a private tour through the botanic garden.

The old man started to walk through the gate and held it open for both of them to follow. When they entered the garden area, the man walked ahead of them again and showed them the way. After awhile he started to speak up again.

"So, have you been here before Miss Humphrey?"

"Uhm, no, actually not. I got back to town round about six month ago, before that I lived in London for over a year. But even while I was living here in New York, I never managed to come round. I'm originally from Williamsburg, so I mainly spent my time there", she replied excusing herself.

The old man nodded in understanding. "Ah yeah, the city has so much to offer. But at least you now get to see a part of this garden. And maybe afterward you'd like to see the rest someday. So, here we are. Mr. Archibald, I assume you know the rest of the way. Everything is set up as you wished. Enjoy your evening and if you need anything, you know where to find me", he said kindly and stepped aside to let them continue their way.

Jenny looked ahead and was stunned by the view in front of her. She had already been in awe by all the different flowers and plants on their way here, but now she was quite speechless. Not to far from where they stood was a huge glass house with a round dome. She was pretty positive that inside were all the plants and flowers which needed warmer temperatures to survive and grow.

"Are we going in there?", she questioned curiously.

Nate nodded shortly and started walking again. He turned around and thanked Mr. Phillips for his help. "Shall we, Jen?"

Jenny followed him inside the glass house and was even more amazed by it's insides. It was warm and they were greeted by an area full of different cactus.

"Don't worry, this is not our place, we have to walk a little more inside the house", Nate chuckled at her face impression.

"Actually I like it. I always thought that the deserts must look like this. I've never been to Nevada or Arizona before, but I guess some of these would grow there."

Nate studied her face and could see that she was honest about her statement. She really liked it here. He had found the right place to take her.

"Then we should go to Vegas one day. Get you into the desert so you can see for yourself. How about camping then?", he asked right out, not even over thinking his words.

"Sounds perfect to me. Just the two of us in a tent, that will be fun", she replied with a sexy voice and batting her eyelashes.

Nate had stop his walk once more. Looking at his beautiful girlfriend. "You really want to go camping with me?", he asked stunned and unbelieving.

"Hello, Brooklyn girl here! I did camping quite a lot when I was little with Dan and dad. Wouldn't be my first time. But...", she let the last word roll out, "...it would be the first time I could sleep naked in a sleeping bag. Ooh, I think that will be hell of a ride, don't you think?"

Jenny turned to Nate and looked at him seductively. She could see that his eyes had darkened during her last words. She totally loved this effect, knowing that she was the cause for it. It still felt like a dream to her that she was dating Nate now officially, but she was. And this night and his reactions to her proofed it.

"So, shall we proceed our way or are we going to stand here all night?", she teased him.

Nate snapped back out of his thoughts. He had certain pictures in his head, mainly him loving Jenny in a tent in the middle of nowhere. Making her scream his name out in ecstasy. He definitely would take her on a camping trip one day.

"Uhm, sure. That way", he said and led her further to the table he had set up for her.

They walked a little further into the middle of the glass house, holding each other by the hands. Both were captured in their own thoughts when they finally arrived the place Nate wanted to show her.

Jenny's eyes went wide open when she got to see the canopy they walked towards to. It was huge and made out of white wood, as far as Jenny could see. The ornaments were filled with dozens of red roses and white orchids. In the middle stood a table with two stools. Decorated with white candles, plates and glasses – ready for a romantic dinner.

A little at the side was a chaise lounge with a few pillows standing. In each corner of the canopy were four candle stands placed with five candles each. They all were lighting up the place.

"When? How? Did you...? This is amazing", she stammered, not capable of addressing a right sentence.

Nate sniggered a little. "See I told you, you would love it. Never doubt my words", he mocked her.

"I will never", she replied still in awe over the place. She gazed around some more and couldn't believe the beauty of this place. "Why here?"

"I wanted a special and romantic place for our first real date. Somewhere where we could be on our own. In the city it wouldn't be given, people know you and me. I don't want prying eyes everywhere when I woo my girl", he explained his decision to come down here.

Jenny nodded her head in approval. She wouldn't want anyone to disturb them either. "This is a wonderful place. It's outstanding. Thanks for taking me here", she stated and walked over to kiss him shortly. "You outdid yourself. I really thought we would only go to some restaurant or so. Thanks for this amazing surprise."

"A simple restaurant?", he retorted played offended, "you deserve way more than that. And what ever I can do to give it to you, I will. I told you already once and I say it again: you're not like those girls, Jenny. You're special, and you need to be treated like that."

Her heart skipped a couple of beats. Once again Nate Archibald left her speechless. Once again he let her heart race and stop at the same time. And once again she was more than sure that she would love him for always and forever.

He stepped forward and kissed her on the nose, leaving her quite unsatisfied. "Shall we eat now?"

"Sure, actually I'm already starving", she laughed, remembering that she hasn't eaten anything since lunch.

"Good, then may I offer you this seat, Miss Humphrey?", he asked sweetly while pulling out the stool for her.

Jenny went over and took a seat. "Thank you, Mr. Archibald. That is very polite of you."

They started to eat. The catering company had provided them with three rounds, placed in heat retaining packages. They talked the entire time through, catching up on their years apart from each other.

Jenny burst out laughing when Nate told her about his encounter with Diana Payne.

"Are you serious? You went for an older woman again? I thought you closed that chapter long ago", she mocked him.

"Hey, to my defense, she may have been older but she was smocking hot and I was a single, horny college boy. I'm not proud of it either, but at least it wasn't the same thing like with Catherine", he countered.

Jenny looked at him skeptical. "You sure? It kind of sounds like it. I mean, after all she gave you that job at the Spectator, didn't she?"

"Yeah, she did. But only because my grandfather paid her to do it. So it's not exactly the same. I doubt that he wanted her to fuck me", Nate informed her.

"Ugh, gross. Can we switch the topic? It doesn't feel comforting to talk about your grandfather getting involved into your sex life or not. But as we speak of family, how are your parents doing?", Jenny changed the subject, not keen to hear anything more about that cougar fucking her boyfriend in the past.

Nate tittered about her change of topic. She is so cute when she gets jealous. "They are doing very well. Dad is happy that we're finally together. You know, he always rooted for us ever since he met you at the precinct that day. He always told me to get you as I wouldn't find another like you. And he was right about it."

Jenny blushed over his compliment. She remembered the Captain's words in the precinct. "You know, he told me that day that we are destined to be", she admitted to him.

Nate raised his eyebrow. "He did? He never told me. And what about you? Do you think so too?"

She gazed into his deep ocean blue eyes. "Ever since you kissed me at the masquerade ball. Sorry I made it so hard within the past months. I didn't mean to", she replied sadly.

Nate was stunned by her confession. He placed his hand above hers and intertwined their fingers once more. "You had your reasons and I understand. If anyone should apologize it's me. I'm truly sorry that it took me so long to realize how much you mean to me. I've been an idiot back then."

"I won't contradict on that", she replied sheepishly.

"Hey, no need to get rude now!", he remarked played offended once more, "I may have to punish you, if you keep walking down that road."

"And how would that punishment look like?"

"You have no idea...", he stated with a seductive voice.

Before Jenny could react or say something, Nate had gotten up and grabbed her by her waist. Perked her up off the chair and over his shoulder.

"NATE!", Jenny shrieked in surprise, "let me down again!"

"Oh, why shall I? I think you're quite good where you are now", he teased her.

"Come on, Nate. Let me down, please. I won't mock you anymore – promise", she gave in to his punishment, at least for now.

Nate had walked over to the chaise lounge and placed her on top of it, only to place one leg to her side and hover over her. "You better not forget that, but don't think your punishment is over now. It only starts", he replied huskily and started to kiss her passionately, taking her breath away.

Jenny's breathing hitched and she couldn't focus any longer, everything became a blur. The only thing that mattered was that Nate was kissing her. And hopefully loving her soon. Her body heat increased in an instant. She wanted him so badly.

Nate lowered himself a little. He steadied himself with one arm. His other hand was gliding up Jenny's left leg while his tongue fought with Jenny's over the control of the kiss. She bit his lower lip, causing him to groan in pleasure. His hand went further up her inner tight, she felt so awesomely good.

Nate was about to reach her panties when he suddenly came to a realization. His head shot up and he gazed down at her in astonishment and awe.

"Guess you are right, the name Little J definitely doesn't suit anymore. Were you in such a hurry tonight that you forgot to put on some panties or is this your way to tell me to fuck you right away?", he asked with the lowest and sexiest voice Jenny ever heard of him.

"Try the last", she replied alluring, smirking tempting at him.

He chuckled shortly. "Well then, let the game begin..."

Jenny couldn't reply to his statement as Nate immediately plunged two of his fingers into her pussy. She screamed out in delight. They hadn't been together the entire week, her body screamed for him.

Nate enjoyed the view of her in front of him. He started moving his fingers in and out of her while he watched her face expressions. Filled with lust, desire, want, need. He could watch her in this state forever. Jenny moaned his name with every of his movements. It triggered his own body to react.

His penis started to harden in an instant. He wanted her, he wanted her badly. He moved his fingers out of her, making her snort in annoyance. He chuckled over her impatience. He unbuckled his trousers and let them flow to the floor.

Jenny had opened his shirt and he slipped it off together with his jacket. She let her finger run over his chest, causing him to shiver slightly. He loved the touch of her fingers on his skin.

Nate slid his hands over her legs again, making Jenny moan and scooping her skirt up to reveal her core. He wanted to love her, but his desire to be with her overwhelmed him. Without any further hesitation he gave in and thrust inside her. Jenny cried out again.

"Fuck Nate, you feel so good", she moaned in pleasure when he started to move his body in a regular rhythm.

Nate gazed down at her, her eyes half closed, mouth a little open. Her face flushed and lust written all over it. "You're so amazingly tight. I love the way you engulf me to the fullest. It drives me crazy, Jen. I want you so badly!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Take me!"

Her blunt response triggered once more Nate's desire to have her in an instant. He grabbed her by her hips and moved her up a little to meet him half way. With strong, hard thrusts he penetrated her over and over.

Jenny called out in pleasure. She groaned with every strike of his. Encouraging him to keep going. "Push faster and harder, babe. I want to feel you deep down inside of me!"

Nate almost lost it. If he thought that she had been amazing one week prior in her bedroom, he had been all wrong. Here she was right in front of him, half naked while he was fucking her like crazy and still she managed to surprise him in a way he thought it wasn't possible.

"You'll be the death of me, darling", he barely brought out while pulling himself into her once more.

Jenny could feel that she was close to come. No one ever evoked the feelings that Nate triggered within her. Her entire body reacted to his touches, his movements and his words. She just loved to be with him like this, in fact she craved to be with him like this. She needed this, if possible every second of every day.

One of her hands was still running over his bare chest. The other held on to one pillow beneath her. She clutched to it like it was her only savior from losing her state of mind. He felt so fucking good.

"Nate, I'm close on coming, babe. Push it harder, I need to get over the edge", she breathed out while she tried to look at him. The task wasn't easy to handle as her eyes always flattered close again over the pleasure he brought to her.

Nate was kneeling on the chaise lounge, Jenny lying in front of him. His hands helping to bring her close to him, just like her legs which she had wrapped around his torso as close as possible.

He started to push harder once more. Groaning each time their bodies met for coalition. He could feel her body starting to tremble, she was about to come. Nate loved this view, he pushed himself once more fully inside of her, holding her hips tightly. When he was totally engulfed by her, he could feel how her walls tighten around him.

"FUCK NATE!", Jenny screamed out in delight. She buckled up and wrapped her arms around his body, holding him tightly. Her entire body trembled, and it was an amazing feeling. She never wanted to let it go.

Nate couldn't hold back any longer. The second she came up to meet him, he came right in her. Feeling how he released himself within her, made him even more wanting her. It was an unbelievable feeling. All the tension that had built up inside him faded in an instant and his body started to relax again.

He held her close to himself. One hand on her ass, the other on her back while she still had wrapped her legs around him, her arms still gripped his upper body. Her head leaned next to his, her breathing was fast. Nate could feel it tickle his skin.

"You are amazing", Jenny whispered into his ear. "I love the way you take me."

Nate leaned back a little to look her in the eyes. They had darkened, but still they were amazingly blue. "You have no idea how badly I want to be with you and what kind of feelings you awake in me."

He kissed her once more – fiercely, passionately, strongly.

"Let's get you home. As much as I like this place, your bed is better for the things I still have planned for us tonight", he said seductively.

"And what makes you think that I'll allow you to come in?", she asked playfully, "after all it's our first date."

Nate gazed down at her, amusement dancing in his eyes. "You are aware of the fact that my dick is still inside your pussy, right? If that not qualifies me to come up and send you a few more times to heaven, than I really don't know what does."

Jenny giggled over his comment. "Be aware Archibald. I'm going to make you work hard for it", she replied teasingly.

Nate only laughed about it. "Honey, I am already hard!"

She slapped his shoulder shortly and laughed as well. She leaned forward again to kiss him softly on the lips. "This was the best first date ever! Let's get out of here so we can continue it."

Nate moved back and separated them. Jenny groaned in annoyance, not liking the fact to let go of Nate. He looked at her confused.

"What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"

"No, I just don't like it when you let go of me. Why couldn't you carry me to the limo?"

His eyes widened in shock. "Are you serious? That would be a picture. Me walking without trousers my girlfriend to the waiting car while our bodies are still attached to each other. I think the public would call that public indecency."

Jenny giggled over his reaction. "Pretty sure they would love it. They definitely never saw two hot bodies like ours collide."

"Ok, crazy, it's time to get you home. I urgently need to teach you how to behave in public", Nate responded.

"Ooh, is that a promise, teacher? I think I still have my Constance uniform somewhere", she stated.

Nate looked her over. She had straightened her dress again. She was fully covered now. He remembered her in her school uniform. She had been such a treat back when. Just the thought of her in those clothes nearly made him come again.

"Let's get home – right now!"

Ok, I know this chapter is short due to the fact that it wasn't planned at all. But there was one review that made me think and the idea of writing their first date really got to me. I hope you're not too disappointed that it's only so short and that Chair and Derena weren't a part of this chapter at all. But as I said, it wasn't part of my outlined chapters.

Anyhow, the next chapter will be longer again – but... there will be a time jump.
