" Hey, you, do me a favor? " I sweetly asked Aria. She didn't turn around but just continued making milk shakes, " I'm kind of in the middle of another favor. " Her statement was followed by a chuckle. I laughed, " I mean after. " Aria turned around, holding both cups in her hands. She sat down across from me and slid mine towards me. She then took a sip from hers, " Anything for you. "

A smile grew across my face, " It's going to be time for dinner soon. How about you and I get dressed up and pick up a pizza. You know, like we did on our first date? " Aria smiled, " I'd like that. "

Aria chuckled before taking a sip from her lemonade. She shook her head at me, since I had just made a dumb joke. I laughed along, a huge smile across my face. God, I'm so in love with her. I reached my hand into the inside of my jacket and felt for the tickets, just so I knew they were there.

Aria furrowed her brows, " Why do you keep reaching in your jacket. " I smiled, " Aria Esposito, I love you. " Aria laughed, " Are you proposing to me? "

I chuckled, " No. But I do have a surprise for you. " I took out the tickets and held them in front of me, " Aria Esposito, I love you. And that is why I'm taking you on the best trip ever. Because, you've told me how you've only been 2 places. Norway and Italy. And how you've always wanted to go to Hawaii. So I'm taking you to Hawaii. Because you, Aria, deserve it more than anyone else in this world. "

" Christoffer Schistad, I love you so much. " Aria spoke, her voice filled with love and the biggest smile plastered on her face. You could tell how happy she was. I grabbed her hand in mine and intertwined our fingers, I began rubbing circles on the back of her hand. I bit down on my bottom lip and mouthed to her, " I love you so much. "

" I love you. " She mouthed back.
