Chapter 31: Date     Tiffany had to squint her eyes because of the glaring sun and this in turn made Taeyeon use her hand as a shade above the brunette's eyes. Because of the sudden shade, Tiffany then looked to her side to see Taeyeon staring at the front with squinting eyes like what she did a moment ago.      The two were now in their causal wear where Tiffany was just in a white tank top with a pink button down over, a pair of white jeans and a pair of pink sneakers. On the other hand, Taeyeon was in a white tee with a light blue baseball jacket, a pair of denim jeans and a pair of white sneakers.      All of a sudden, Tiffany took Taeyeon's hand away which made the blonde stare at her surprising, but she only let out a sigh of relief when the brunette took out an umbrella from her bag and opened it. Noticing that Taeyeon kept on staring at her, Tiffany then looked at her, "what?"      Taeyeon shook her head. "Nothing."     They continued on walking until they reached the car. "Wait, where are we going?" Tiffany asked while Taeyeon opened the door for her with the umbrella on her hand.      "Somewhere?"      "Where?"     Taeyeon shrugged her shoulders making Tiffany hit her shoulder. "Just... You'll know when we've reached." She then nodded her head towards the car. "So can you please get inside the car now, my princess?"      Tiffany blushed a little by the comment but she hid it with an annoyed face and went in the car. After Tiffany settled down on her seat, Taeyeon then went to her own seat.      Taeyeon ignited the car engine, earning a nice purring sound from the Lamborghini Aventador. She drove the car out of the palace's garage and drove down the path that goes to the forest and leads to the city area.      "Are you gonna tell me where we are going?" Tiffany asked with crossed arms while looking at her girlfriend.      Taeyeon pursed her lips. "Nope."      Tiffany narrowed her eyes at her before turning her head away. "Fine."     Taeyeon rolled her eyes at Tiffany's childishness but of course, she have already gotten used to it, it's just that she knows Tiffany is stubborn and will keep on pestering her for the answer that she wants. "You will know in due time, alright?" She grabbed Tiffany's hand using her right hand and placed it onto her thigh. "I just want to give you a surprise." Taeyeon said it softly.      Tiffany melted a little inside when she heard what Taeyeon said. "Alright then, I'll be waiting for this surprise." She smiled, making her eyesmile appear.      Taeyeon smiled as well when she saw her favourite smile from her girlfriend. "Good girl."     "But Taetae, are we even allowed to go out of the palace?"      "Hmm... We aren't actually." Sensing that Tiffany is about to open to reprimand her, she then quickly spoke up. "But it's just for a day, and I've already told Sooyoung about it. Besides, even if no one allows, I'll still bring you out for a date because I want you to at least have a real date with me to keep in your memory."     "You know that I--"     "Yes, I know that you don't mind not going out or anything. But the thing is that I mind. I can't bear to let you be in the palace for the whole day. I know that you get bored but it's just that you don't want to say it out. The most important thing is actually... I just wanted to be a good lover and bring my girlfriend for at least one date, that's all that I want."     Tiffany stared at Taeyeon lovingly as she leaned in closer to her, being careful to not make any accidents happen. She pecked her cheek and spoke into her ear. "Thank you... You're the best lover that anyone can have. And I'm the lucky one." She then went back to her seat.      Taeyeon had a satisfied smile on her face while looking upfront. "I'm lucky to have found you. I love you."      "Love you too." Tiffany said it shyly with a smile making Taeyeon chuckle.      =     "Fany-ah, wake up."      "Hmm?" Tiffany groaned before opening her eyes. She looked at Taeyeon who was standing beside her and stretched her lazy muscles. I fell asleep, huh.     Taeyeon held out a hand which Tiffany gladly accepted and stepped out of the car. Taeyeon then locked the car and held onto Tiffany's hand while the brunette was busy looking around the place. "Where are we?"      "The mall. I thought that maybe you would like to shop around." Taeyeon watched as Tiffany's eyes twinkled at the mention of shopping.      "Let's go in!" Tiffany exclaimed without any hesitation and ran to the mall while pulling Taeyeon along.      Taeyeon laughed at Tiffany's sudden enthusiasm and was glad that she made the right choice to come to the mall. Well, thanks to Jessica that is.     =     They shopped around for around two hours and both of Taeyeon's hands are already filled up with bags.      At first, Taeyeon was the one that told Tiffany to shop without any hesitation with her credit card and she surely did not expect that Tiffany could actually walk around the mall and try on so many clothes despite her hate of exercising.      She shook her head and dragged the bags along with her when Tiffany again went into another different shoe shop.      "Taetae!"      "Yes?" She went into the shop and saw Tiffany already had a pair of heels on. Wow. That's...fast.     "How does this look?" She posed in front of Taeyeon with her hand on her hip before walking towards Taeyeon.      Taeyeon placed both of her thumbs up. "You look great but--" one of the thumbs up then turned down. "--heels means that you'll be so much taller than me." That is correct though because right now Taeyeon had to tilt her head up just to look into Tiffany's eyes and speak to her.      Tiffany giggled at her girlfriend's cute comment. "Alright, I won't buy it then." She took off the heels and wore her sneakers before wanting to place the heels back to its original place when her wrist was caught by Taeyeon.      "But you like it, so I won't mind."     "But--"     "Can you pack this up for me, please?" Taeyeon took the pair of heels out of Tiffany's hands and gave it to the sales assistant.      "Yes." The heels then was transferred to the sales assistant's hand.      Taeyeon turned towards Tiffany who was staring at her. "What?"      "You don't have to buy it, you know?"      "But you liked it and besides, you look gorgeous in it. I'll buy anything that looks pretty on you and it means that I will probably have to buy everything on the earth because you practically look good in anything." Taeyeon ended it with a smile before proceeding to the counter to pay for the heels, leaving a stunned Tiffany behind.      "Come on, let's go." Tiffany jumped a little in shock at the sudden voice before she linked her arm with Taeyeon who was carrying the bags that left no space for them to hold hands. "Taeyeon-ah, let me help you."      Taeyeon pulled the bags away when Tiffany wanted to hold it. "No, I'm the man in this relationship so I have to show my manliness to you." Taeyeon put out her chest and carried the bags with no difficulty. "Anyways, I was thinking of putting these bags in the car first before we continue."       "Alright, good idea."      Taeyeon pushed Tiffany back until she sat down onto the bench. "But you'll be staying here while I go."       "What? No, I'm going with you. There's too much bags." The stubborn Tiffany then stood up but was again pushed down by Taeyeon.      "Don't worry about it, I can carry these. It's hot outside, I don't want you to sweat too much so just stay here and enjoy the air-conditioning." Taeyeon smiled. "I'll be going now. See you later, love." She pecked the top of Tiffany's head and left without letting Tiffany speak a word.      =     After a few minutes, Taeyeon was already back and she interlaced their fingers together since now her hands are free. "So, shopping again?"       Tiffany shook her head. "No, I've already bought a lot of stuffs and I don't want to burn a hole in your pocket." She teased.      "Uh uh." Taeyeon shook her head. "You can buy whatever you want without burning a hole in my pocket since I'm filthy rich." Taeyeon smirked at her.      "Cocky much?" Tiffany snorted as they went up the escalator.      "Nope, just stating the truth." Taeyeon laughed.      "What are we gonna do now?" Tiffany asked.      "Do you have anything in mind? If not, I'll be bringing you to the movies."      "Movies it is then! It's been so long ever since I've been to a cinema theatre. But I have something to say beforehand."      Taeyeon looked at her as they continued walking towards the cinema. "What's that?"      "No horror movies. Horror movies are a big no no to me." Tiffany kept on shaking her head, making Taeyeon laugh at her silly act.      They stopped once they've reached the cinema. "Baby, why are you still afraid of horror movies when you already have a vampire as your girlfriend?" Taeyeon was careful as she whispered into Tiffany's ear.      "
