“We are,” he answers.

“Really? What show?” I inquire excitedly.

“That is the surprise, Sugar.” He responds.

We continue walking and I’m taking it all in. I haven’t been here since my interview with Heather months ago.

I’ve been wanting to see several shows on Broadway but haven’t had the chance to yet. I haven’t even said anything to Cole about wanting to come, so this is actually showing me how well he knows me already.

We turn the corner where the Hard Rock Cafe is and I instantly know what show we are going to see.

I let Cole lead me across the street before I pull him to the side so we are not in the way of the hustle and bustle of the city sidewalks.

“Are you taking me to see the Cursed Child?”

Cole laughs.

“Yes, babe. That is where I’m taking you.” He confirms.

I get on my tippy toes and put my arms around Cole’s neck. I make a little jump and this man does not miss a beat. He wraps his arms around my waist and lifts me off the ground.

I kiss him, really kiss him as if no one was around.

When I pull back, I have the biggest smile on my face.

“I can’t believe you planned this! Thank you Cole. This means so much to me.” I tell him.

“You’re welcome baby. That smile right there is what I wanted to see,” He says.

Cole directs us to a side entrance. He has thought of everything. No one I’ve dated has ever done anything like this for me. Cole makes me feel heard and seen. He just gets me.

We might still be getting to know each other, but this gesture means so much. I want to do something like this for him. I know I don’t have to, but I want to. Cole has shown me how much I mean to him, and I need him to know that he means just as much to me.

The show is amazing and afterwards we get to meet the cast and take pictures with them before leaving.

“Do you want to walk around for a bit?” Cole asks.

“That sounds good.” I answer.

We walk around Times Square, flitting in and out of stores looking around. Before we know it the sun is setting.

“How about we head back home and eat dinner?” Cole suggests.

“That sounds good.” I reply.

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR

Adriana

I can’t believe I haven’t gotten to tell Heather about our date from last week. I lock up my apartment and head downstairs to meet Heather at my car.

“Good Morning boss bestie!” I say to her.

“Morning! Ready for today?” she asks.

“Yes ma’am! Today should be a good day.” I reply.

We get into the car and make our way to the stadium.
