Returning Fame || rini au

09

nini took her bag and keys, making sure to not forget ricky's present before heading out of her apartment

he texted nini to tell her that he was finished with filming for the day, so they were going to meet at a park a few blocks away from her apartment.

as she arrives to the park, she notices ricky inside his car on his phone

she walks over to his window and knocks on it, making him jump as he looks to the right to see nini smiling at him

he returns the gesture and she enters the car, feeling a tight stillness inside

"hey-"

"so, you saw ej?" he asks

nini looks at him for a few seconds, opening her mouth "i-i was going to tell you-"

"did he hurt you?"

"no- we just talked." she assures him

ricky sighs and looks in front of him "okay."

"ricky, i know how you feel about ej, but i promise that i think he's changed." she explains "he has a girlfriend now, and-"

"neens, i said it's fine." he says as he takes her hand, looking at her "as long as he doesn't try anything on you."

nini smiles at him "he won't. i really think he's happy now, and i'm perfectly happy with you."

he gives her a quick kiss before beginning to drive his way through the roads

after a few minutes of driving in a comfortable silence, nini notices that ricky didn't turn to where the usual restaurants are

"where are we going?" she asks in confusion

the boy smiles as he turns his head to face her "i want to show you something. and i have a surprise."

nini raises an eyebrow "what is it?"

he laughs "it wouldn't be a surprise if i told you neens."

she playfully rolls her eyes and nods, returning her attention to the scenery passing through the window

minutes of driving passed and nini still wasn't sure where they were.

mostly because they were now at the point where it was trees everywhere and an empty road ahead

"are you taking me somewhere to kill me?" nini asks playfully

ricky laughs "you watch too many documentaries."

she groans "ricky please just tell me!"

he smiles and turns his head to face her "no."

nini exhales loudly and slumps down in her seat, looking out the window as she wonders where he could be taking her

soon enough, he pulls over on a large land of green trees surrounding them

"where-"

he opens the door quickly and runs around to the other side, opening her door as he holds his hand out

nini hesitantly takes it and he leads her around to the back of the vehicle, opening the trunk where she gasps in awe

he had put the seats down with a mattress on top and multiple blankets and pillows with little lights surrounding the sides where they wouldn't be seen from a long way

further into the car, he had hidden bags of foods and snacks that were their favorite to share with his laptop.

"ricky," she breathes as he starts setting everything up
