Leo grinned, pulling out a small gift box from his pocket. “I couldn’t stay away any longer,” he said, handing her the box. “I got you something.”
Rachel’s eyes widened as she took the box from him. “Leo, you didn’t have to,” she said, feeling a wave of gratitude wash over her.
Leo chuckled, brushing a strand of hair out of her face. “I wanted to,” he said. “Go ahead, open it.”
Rachel eagerly tore off the wrapping paper, revealing a beautiful red dress inside. It was made of silky fabric, with a flowing skirt that would twirl perfectly on the dance floor.
“It’s stunning,” she said, holding it up to her body.
He sweeps her off her feet and carries her inside, kicking the door shut with his foot as he goes. Rachel giggles and nuzzles her nose into his neck, breathing in the scent of his cologne.
Leo sets Rachel down gently on the floor, and as soon as her feet touch the ground, their lips meet in a passionate kiss. He slides his hands down her back, pulling her closer to him as she wraps her arms around his neck.
Their lips part for a moment, and Leo looks deep into Rachel’s eyes. He sees a mixture of desire and love in them, and he can’t help but feel overwhelmed by his own emotions. He leans in and kisses her again, this time more deeply, as if he wants to make up for all the time they’ve been apart.
As they continue to kiss, Leo lifts Rachel and carries to the couche where they had a quickie.
That’s was before getting ready for their date. Rachel couldn’t help but admire the dress Leo had picked out for her, feeling beautiful and special in it.
As they sat down for their romantic dinner, Leo proposed that they take things one step at a time and do the marriage thing right. Rachel was surprised but pleased, agreeing to take things slow and enjoy each other’s company.
Leo took Rachel to a fancy restaurant with dim lighting and soft jazz music playing in the background. The restaurant had a cozy, romantic atmosphere, with candlelit tables and plush seating.
As they sat down at their table, the waiter brought them a menu filled with a variety of delicious dishes. Rachel’s stomach grumbled as she scanned the menu, trying to decide what to order. After some deliberation, they both settled on a four-course meal.
For the first course, they started with a creamy, tomato-based soup that is perfectly seasoned and garnished with fresh herbs. The soup was paired with a crisp, buttery bread roll that is warm and freshly baked.
Next, they enjoyed a fresh garden salad with mixed greens, juicy cherry tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, and tangy feta cheese. The salad was dressed in a light vinaigrette that perfectly complements the freshness of the vegetables.
For the main course, Rachel and Leo both ordered the restaurant’s signature dish, a perfectly cooked medium-rare steak with a side of sautéed vegetables and creamy mashed potatoes. The steak was juicy and tender, and the vegetables were cooked to perfection.
Finally, for dessert, they indulged in a rich, decadent chocolate cake that was moist and velvety. The cake was drizzled with a thick, chocolate ganache and garnished with fresh berries.
Throughout their meal, Rachel and Leo chatted and laughed, enjoying each other’s company and the delicious food. It was the perfect end to a perfect day, and Rachel can’t help but feel grateful for the love and happiness she has found with Leo.
After dinner, they made their way back to Rachel’s place, where they made love with her dress still on. It was a night filled with passion, love, and excitement, and Rachel couldn’t help but feel grateful for having Leo in her life.
As they lay in bed, wrapped in each other’s arms, Rachel couldn’t help but feel a sense of contentment wash over her. She had her designs to work on, her fashion runway show debut to plan, and the love of her life by her side. Life couldn’t get any better than this.

Rachel had been working tirelessly on her designs, pouring every ounce of creativity and energy into the collection she was hoping to debut on the runway. She knew that the competition was fierce and the stakes were high, but she was determined to give it her all.
One day, while she was in her studio working on her latest designs, she decided to call her agent to let her know that she wanted to enter the competition. After a few rings, her agent picked up the phone.
“Hey, Rachel. What can I do for you?” her agent asked.
“Hey, I was thinking about entering the fashion runway competition. I want to show my collection to the world,” Rachel said, her voice full of excitement.
“That’s a great idea! I’ll look into it and see what I can do,” her agent replied.
Days passed, and Rachel found herself constantly checking her phone, hoping for some good news. Finally, one afternoon, her phone rang, and she saw her agent’s name on the screen.
“Hello?” Rachel answered, trying to keep the anticipation out of her voice.
“Rachel, you did it! You passed the auditions for the fashion runway competition!” her agent exclaimed.
Rachel couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Her hard work had paid off, and she had been accepted into the competition.
“Thank you so much!” Rachel said, tears of joy streaming down her face. “I won’t let you down.”
As she hung up the phone, Rachel felt an overwhelming sense of pride and accomplishment. She knew that the hard work was just beginning, but she was ready for anything. She was determined to create a collection that would blow the judges and the audience away.
She was proud of herself, and Leo’s support had been a tremendous boost to her confidence. As soon as she walked out of the venue, Leo wrapped his arms around her, lifting her off her feet and spinning her around. They both laughed with joy.
“I knew you would nail it,” he said, planting a kiss on her lips. “That good luck fuck really did the trick.”
Rachel playfully punched him in the chest, but she couldn’t hide her delight. She was grateful for Leo’s encouragement, and she knew that he was the reason she had come this far.
As they celebrated with shots, Rachel excused herself to go to the bathroom. She had barely closed the door when she felt a sharp blow to her head. The impact was so intense that she blacked out.
