ricky looked at the time and waited in front of nini's house for their date

she came out wearing a strapless white top with a floral white and light blue skirt, wearing converse

nini adjusted her high ponytail as she ran to ricky's car and he smiles at her

she leans in to give him a quick kiss hello before putting her seatbelt on as he starts driving

"so, where are we going?" she asks him excitedly

ricky laughs "it's a surprise."

nini pouts "ricky!" she whines

he laughs harder before taking her hand in his, moving his thumb in circular motion on the back of her palm

she rolls her eyes playfully, knowing that he wasn't going to give in before looking out of the window

they drove in a comfortable silence with the calm songs playing on the radio before arriving at a park

"where are we?" nini asks confused

"you'll see," he smirks "i wanted to show you something i found."

nini gives him a frightful expression "tell me this isn't something bad."

he shakes his head with a smile "i promise."

she takes a deep breath as they both get out of the car and hold each other's hands as they walk through the greenery around them

"it's so peaceful here." nini says, looking around her

ricky feels his mood lift as he sees her eyes light up, taking in the surroundings around her

she always loved simple, natural things and loved nature

"oh my god ricky!" she squeals as she pulls him towards a couple of bunnies that were hidden on the side of the trail

ricky laughs as he sees nini discreetly kneel down to watch them and he can't help but see how kind-hearted and all-around a genuinely down-to-earth girl she was.

after a few minutes, they continue the path, randomly talking about anything that came to mind until they arrive at a wooden bridge

ricky smirks as he leads her closer to it, but nini was hesitant

"what's wrong?" he asks her

"it looks really old-"

"you'll be fine neens. trust me, i went on it not long ago." he assures her

he sees her not budging and takes a deep breath, holding her hands as her eyes shift to his

"i promise." he whispers

nini nods slowly, feeling slightly more relaxed as he continues to lead her to the bridge

they take the first step on it, making a slight creak, but otherwise it was solid, heading further to the center of the bridge

he stops midway and turns around with a smile, nini looking at him in confusion

"what?"

"so?" he smirks

"it's an old bridge?" she says in a matter-of-fact tone

ricky chuckles and nods "yeah, and what is it over?"

nini looks around her "a lake?"

he shakes his head with a smile as he takes her hand once again, leading her to the edge of the bridge

nini places her hands on the railing and he stays behind her

"look,"

her eyes shift down to the blue surface of the water, before she gasps in awe
