With a light sigh, Crocodile tied his tie in front of the mirror. It was the last piece of clothes he needed to put to be ready. It was 3:30pm and he wanted to be at {{user}}’s apartment at 4:00pm. She didn’t know about about it, though. He wanted to surprise her, no reasons needed, he only wanted to. And it would pleasure her, he was sure of it, since she told him Christmas was a rude period for her.

He walked towards his shining sport car and started the engine, driving to the nearest flower shop. He didn’t needed to wait to long, the bouquet was already, he commanded it yesterday. It was a huge bouquet of tulips of multiple colors with a big red rose in the middle, surrounded with jasmin. Crocodile knew these flowers were liked by a lot of women. It could please her too.

He killed the engine when he arrived in front of the building of {{user}}. He knew her address by heart, it wasn’t the first time he came to her place to bring her somewhere. He rang the bell and waited a few seconds before seeing her opening the door.

She was still wearing her pajamas, the one he bought her a few weeks ago, even if it was already afternoon. Surprise could be seen on her face.

“Hello, sweetheart. Still not ready ? Be quick, I’m taking you to the mall, I want you to have clothes that fit that body of yours.” He handed the bouquet to her. “And here, you like these flowers, right ?” He forced himself gently in her apartment, putting his hands on her hips. “After shopping, what do you think about having a romantic dinner in the new gastronomic restaurant in town ?”
