Next, we were off to the Tate Modern. Alice’s face lit up when we walked in and saw the slides. She was like a kid in a playground and soon joined the queue, hopping around excitedly. After queuing for a ridiculous length of time Alice got her go on the slide and came out at the bottom very slowly, looking thoroughly disappointed. She slouched over to where I was waiting.

“Aaw honey was it not fun?” I asked, throwing my arms around my pouting girlfriend, trying to suppress a giggle.

“No” Alice grunted and I took her hand to lead her out of the museum, hoping to find something else that could entertain her. It was like babysitting, but I love her childish side, it’s so adorable.

The slide was pretty rubbish, but I was only joking around and pretending to sulk. In my mind, I was planning the next thing on the list of what we were doing. As soon as we stepped out of the museum I took Dana’s hand and dragged her excitedly across the bridge to the other side of the Thames.

“Wow what’s the hurry! I thought you were sulking?!” Dana said as I pulled her along.

“What? No I’m over that. Come on, I want to show you what’s next” My walk got even faster until we reached a boat that was docked at the side of the river. We were just in time for the next part of the day that I had planned- a romantic dinner cruise down the River Thames.

“Alice what are we stopping for?” Dana was obviously confused, turning to look around.

“We’re going on there” I said, pointing at the luxury cruise boat.

A huge smile spread across Dana’s face. “On there?” She asked, pointing at it too.

“Yup” I was now beaming too. I grabbed her hand and led her onto the boat.

We spent the next two and a half hours sitting at a small table on the deck of the boat, enjoying a four course meal and each other’s company. The food was kind of healthy and I kindly had Dana’s dessert for her. I ordered us a bottle of wine and there was slow music playing softly in the background. Everything felt perfect. We held hands across the table and gazed into each other’s eyes as the historic landmarks by the Thames passed us, lights shining brightly all over in the darkness.
