One more thing...

[Riven]

He smiled as he nodded again, "I promise."

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled.

 

[Riven]

He gently kissed her forehead as he kept his smile. "So, plans?"

 

[No More Pretending]

"Can we walk around the botanical gardens and...possibly go to the planetarium?"

 

[Riven]

He smiled and nodded again, "Nothing makes me happier then to go with you."

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled happily. "They planted a new breed of roses, and it's beautiful."

 

[Riven]

He smiled as he saw the joy on her face, "Let's just hope they'll be as beautiful as you."

 

[No More Pretending]

She blushed lightly. "There will be no contest... They are very beautiful."

 

[Riven]

"I think different", he replied in a whisper and a low chuckle as he stands close to her, wrapping his arms around her as he pecks her on the lips gently with a smile.

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled. "I love you, Aiden."

 

[Riven]

He smiled in return as well, "I love you too Elizabeth."

 

[No More Pretending]

She kissed his cheek. "Let me change into something nice."

 

[Riven]

He smiles and nods as he goes off to change as well.

 

[No More Pretending]

She changed into a white and lacy sundress with a few red roses on the skirt.

 

[Riven]

He comes back wearing a pair of jeans, a black t-shirt, and his usual Aviators. As he walks in, he sees her wearing the skirt, "Wow, thats, wow, you look beautiful." He smiles until he feels his chin, a frown appearing on his face. "It seems my beard is growing rather quickly, you think I should get a quick shave?", he asks her while he questionably feels his chin, looking at the mirror.

 

[No More Pretending]

She shook her head and rubbed his chin lightly. "No. The stubble makes you look sexy," she purred, kissing his cheek.

 

[Riven]

He blushed but accepted the compliment with a smile.

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled and kissed him briefly. "You ready to go?" She asked.

 

[Riven]

He smiled and grabbed his keys, "If you got the directions then yes."

 

[No More Pretending]

Elizabeth nodded. "It's within walking distance," she said. "We actually passed the entrance on our walk yesterday. Would you like to walk, since it's a nice day?"

 

[Riven]

He nodded and tossed the keys back onto the table, "Let's go."

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled, twirling a lock of her coppery hair around her finger as she opened the front door.

 

[Riven]

He smiled and kissed her cheek as he took hold of her hand.

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled and held his hand, walking to the botanical garden.

 

[Riven]

He watched the various flowers appearing as they walked by, "They're pretty."
