You and Aaron had gone away together before but only a few hours from home, never out of state, which you were okay with.

And then, out of the blue, Aaron surprised you with a three-day trip to New York. He didn’t even tell you what you were doing, so you were left to guess about your packing. It was fall, but winter was rapidly approaching so, you packed the nicest warm clothes you had. You left your packing to the last minutes so, all you were waiting on now was Aaron to pick you up for the flight. You were taking a red-eye.

A knock on the door signalled Aaron was here. You grabbed your bag and hurried down the stairs to open the door. You greeted Aaron with a kiss on the cheek, and as a response, he gave you a kiss and pulled you into a quick hug. Then he grabbed your suitcase and headed to the waiting cab. With the bags secured n the car, the two of you were on the way to the airport.

There was minimal foot traffic in the airport, which made check-in a breeze, security was just as easy. You didn’t have to wait too long for your flight to be called, and since it was a red-eye, it was almost empty. The flight itself was smooth sailing, with no turbulence or screaming babies. The two of you checked in to the hotel in the early hours of the morning, and after a quick shower, the two of you fooled around for a bit before falling asleep.

Aaron gently shook you awake and, you lifted your head off the pillow, taking a minute to look around. The clothes the two of you left scattered were now neatly folded and stacked on the chaise by the window. The luggage was organized neatly beside the chaise lounge. He stood beside the bed, messy bedhead, pyjama pants hanging low on his hips and a sleepy smile directed at you.

“So Aaron, what’s the plan for today?”

“Well, we’re gonna grab some food from downstairs before our first stop,” he said and then held up two sightseeing passes with a grin.

The pair of you got ready for the day faster than usual. It was busy from the get-go. First, you boarded the sightseeing bus and rode it all over, stopping in times square for an hour—doing all the touristy things you didn’t usually—and then, you were back on the bus to the landmark cruise. After the cruise, you and Aaron did a little research before stopping for lunch at a cute Mexican restaurant. Following lunch, you went on a Central Park bike tour and then visited the Met Breuer. Afterwards, you spent a couple hours at the American Museum of Natural History. Then the two of you made a pit-stop at the hotel. Aaron took a few minutes to call Jack and talk to him a while, and then you freshened up and got a little dressed up before heading out for dinner; tapas and wine on the Upper West Side. You and Aaron stayed out well into the night, spending the time without any of your usual responsibilities.

The following day started almost exactly the same. A little bit of fooling around before breakfast at the hotel. Instead of the sightseeing bus, you were using the transit system. The first stop on the itinerary was the Empire State Building, and then you visited High Line park. Those stops were how you spent the morning, exploring and taking it all in at a semi-leisurely pace. Lunch was at a trendy vegan place in Chelsea before you guys took a visit to the Top of the Rock Observatory. The last stop of the day was a visit to the famous Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), which you absolutely loved. After that, you and Aaron headed to the hotel to freshen up a little before dinner.

“So what’s the plan for dinner Aaron?” You asked while looking through your suitcase.

“It’s a surprise.” He said with a smile before heading into the bathroom.

“Can I at least get a hint?” You asked, voice a bit louder than usual so he would hear you.

“Dress nice.” He called out.

You continued rifling through your suitcase before pulling out a garment bag containing the fanciest dress you had packed. Hanging it on the ajar closet door, you took your heels out from your suitcase before heading to the bathroom to get ready. You did your hair and makeup carefully, doing your best not to mess it up. You slipped into your dress-up couldn’t quite reach the zipper.

“Aaron, can you come here?” You called out to him.

You heard Aaron walk over to the bathroom, and his footsteps stopped at the door. A sharp intake of breath, and then, he was right behind you. You fought the urge to shudder at his touch as he delicately tugged the zipper up your dress. He finished by placing a soft butterfly kiss on your exposed shoulder before shuffling back into the other room. You sighed with happiness and then spent a bit longer getting ready. First, a few jewelry pieces that you favoured, and then you stepped into your heels, and you were off.

You arrived at The Grand Salon at the Baccarat Hotel for dinner and were so glad that you had dressed up the way you did. It was a lovely, romantic evening with Aaron that ended exceptionally well for both parties.

Day three was bittersweet. It was the last day of your New York whirlwind vacation. It started out the same as the previous two days, but you had to re-pack and check out before exploring. The first stop was the Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island. After that, you two went to visit the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, taking a bit to pay your respects. It was highly educational and made you even more thankful for the veterans and those currently serving.

Lunch was easy, a quick visit to the Whole Foods kitchen, and then you guys took a walk around Battery Park. Following that was the Brooklyn Bridge walking tour. Your last dinner together in New York was a romantic French meal, and then, it was time to head to the airport to go home.

While you were waiting for your flight to be called, the two of you were sitting and relaxing after a busy day, with no shortage of souvenirs for Aaron to give Jack. You turned to face Aaron and gave him a soft kiss.

“Thank you for planning such an amazing trip,” you said gently with a smile on your face, “I loved every minute.”

“I’m glad Y/N. I really enjoyed spending this time with you.” He said back, just as softly and placed a gentle kiss on your cheek before leaning his head on your shoulder.
