Week 2 - Wednesday Evening
Who: Sam and Easton
Where: Meeting in the common area, then out for the evening
What: Off to celebrate her birthday!
When: Early evening

** Warning: It's Gettin Hot in Hurrrrr **

Easton had arrived about ten minutes early to the meeting place that he and Sam had agreed upon. Tonight was the big night - her first birthday that they would spend together as an official couple. These nights had always been special, East was one of those people who saw the importance in celebrating a birthday and so he tended to go all out for such occasions...especially for Sam. She had been his very best friend before his girlfriend, after all - if anyone knew of all the things he was capable of pulling out of his sleeve, it was her. Tonight he intended for things to be made a bit more special than year's past. He'd sent a gift for many of the days leading up to the actual date of her birth, little token of affection that ranged in both size and cost. It wasn't about how much someone spent on a loved one, of course, it was about the thought that went in to things. If there was one thing Easton could give himself credit at, it was most definitely too much of a thinker for his own good.

He wore a simple black suit, short hair styled into some sort of order for the night. Her final present hung in a small gold gift bag in his hand, awaiting until they reached their secret location for the evening before she could have this last one. He was understandably a bit nervous as well - concerned that this evening he had tried so hard to put together into some flawless celebration would blow up in his face. His initial confession of his feelings had gone so well, after all. It definitely hadn't boded well for tonight, but he'd double checked all his plans earlier that day to make sure things were set. Their private car was due to arrive in ten minutes, to whisk them away to the island's plush hotel where said confession had taken place. In a private suite near the top of the high-rise, a candlelit dinner sat waiting. The menu consisted of Sam's favorites, along with a bottle of the French champagne she had seemed to enjoy so much nights before.

Gentleman that he was, East expected nothing more out of the night than dinner and a bit of romance. At first he had worried that renting out the room would send a message he didn't truly want to be so blunt in putting forth, but Sam knew him better than that. Of course he was interested, but the man had much more finesse, more tact than that. It was the sharp click of heels against the hardwood floor of the hall that drew his attention, assuming that it would be Sam arriving for their evening out. He turned to greet her, a warm smile already in place...

Here went nothing.

After class, Sam had spent the rest of her day getting gorgeous for her birthday extravaganza. A long, hot shower was taken first after which her hair was wrapped up in rollers. Her nails were painted once her hair was taken care of and some television was watched while they dried. As soon as her hands were good to go she spent far too long on her make-up to make sure it was "just right." It was right about that time that yet another box appeared at her door containing a dress that was not only beautiful, but definitely her style. Easton had certainly outdone himself this time and she beamed as she tossed his note on her desk.

Once the curls had set, she pulled the rollers out and went about taming the dark locks into soft waves. So far everything was behaving but she had to admit that even as she pulled on the dress that she worried for a split second that it wouldn't fit. Fortunately Easton was really that good and it fit like a glove. There was no denying that she felt like a million bucks as she gathered her purse and the small overnight bag she had packed and headed on out to meet her date. No question at all.

The black stiletto heels she had chosen clicked against the floor as she stepped into the common area and she gave a low whistle as East turned around. "My, my, my, aren't you looking rather dashing tonight?" Her grin was playful as she closed the gap between them and gave him a soft kiss. There was no denying that she was one lucky girl and she really couldn't wait to see what he had planned for her.

"So how do I look?" she asked as she gave a little spin. "I think it fits quite nicely, don't you?"

"You look amazing, Sammy." The compliment was genuine, as was the wide smile that graced Easton's face as he leaned in to return the kiss of greeting. He slid an arm around her waist, drawing her in for a private little moment there before they set off for an evening filled with them. "Happy birthday," he whispered, a deviant little gleam in his eyes as he leaned in and kissed her again.

He drew back to take her hand, glancing out the window nearby to see if the car he'd called for had arrived yet. Sure enough, a black sedan pulled up at that very moment and Easton turned to Sam with a smile, offering her his arm in a teasing gentlemanly fashion, "Shall we head off to begin the evening festivities?" The bag holding her final gift dangled teasingly from his free hand as he turned to lead her outside.

The driver opened the door for them and East let Sam slide in before walking around to the opposite side to join her. "Would you like your final present now...or at dinner?" Ooooh, she was getting to choose this time.
