Date Night

      The persistent driving came to a halt when finally he hit the brakes after noticing that they had reached their destination. He brightened the headlights of the Mustang and drove off the road to the left until the entire night sky was visible through the windscreen.

He got out of the car to open the door for her. The stony bumps on the uneven road had woken her up and she was now in the midst of a confusion, meddled with questions as to what was happening. He opened the door and she stepped out , gaping around.

“Where have you brought me?”, she asked.

“We’re near Prague, but it’s not about what’s around us. Look up!”, he exclaimed.

As soon as she looked up, her gaze stay stuck there like a curious seal. The late night was beautiful with it’s alluring flow of clarity, the pitch-black curtain draped over the sky, and the twisted, warped shapes that the stars made against the blackness. A canopy of luminous stars materialized amongst the ocean of blackness.

  He pulled her close and whispered in her ear, “What’s going on in that beautiful mind?”.

She glanced at him, as he reached out to grab a meal basket out of the thin air.

   His actions had their effect and she now had a charming smile on her face. Her eyes ensnared into his.

    She smirked “You know I could have you filed for kidnapping”.

He couldn’t look way and neither could she stop beguiling him.

“Or perhaps you could have dinner with me”, he smiled preoccupied her mind before any other thoughts sunk in. His charm had found it’s way. “Just the way we planned, about 447 days back!”.
