it was filled with lotus flowers

she turns back to ricky and jumps up in excitement

"how did you find this?" she asks him, turning back to see them

he shrugs his shoulders "i have my ways. come on,"

ricky sees her pout slightly and he laughs "i promise you're going to prefer it."

she sighs and follows him onto the other side of the bridge, going down the trail and through the forest of trees

"ricky, i'm not exactly dressed for hiking," nini groans as she seats away a fly

he rolls his eyes playfully "this isn't hiking. we've been walking for only two minutes on flat ground neens."

"still, i don't get what we're doing,"

"you'll find out." he replies "okay, close your eyes."

nini stops and raises her eyebrows "i'm not closing my eyes when there are twigs and branches that i can just fall over!"

"i'll lead you don't worry," he assures her as he arrives behind her and places his hands on her shoulders

nini sighs and nods before closing her eyes shut and they walk a few steps slowly

a few more minutes and nini feels slightly anxious

"ricky-"

"just a few more steps." he says

nini nods and they do three more steps before ricky stops them

"okay. open," he smiles

nini's eyes open and thats when she widened her eyes in surprise

"oh my god," she breathes as she walks closer

it was a stone-edge surface to the river containing a bunch of lotus flowers, with a blanket laid on the floor and a basket sitting in place

"ricky!" she exclaims with a laugh as she quickly approaches the edge of the river, looking at the lotus flowers as close as possible

"do you like it?" he asks, sitting down next to her

nini's smile doesn't leave her face as she looks up at him with love, leaning in to give him a quick kiss on the lips

"i love it."

he beams at her as he takes the basket sitting next to him

"what's the occasion?" she asks him, lightly touching the pink lotus petals as he brings out the boxes of food from he basket

ricky can't help but widen his smile at the view of her awestruck expression

he places his hands on her shoulders, pulling her back ever so slightly

"what do you see?" he asks her

nini keeps her eyes scanning the surface of the water as she did before, this time trying to search for something

that's when she saw that the lotus flowers were all placed in a certain, specific position

'will you go to prom with me'

she widens her eyes and turns around to see ricky looking at her intently

the girl laughs as she nods "yes!"

he sighs in relief before feeling nini bring his arms around his neck, his hands quickly sliding around her waist as he hugs her tightly

"i love you." she whispers over his shoulder

"i love you too."

nini's eyes twinkle as she looks at ricky before leaning in to connect their lips

she feels him smile against her and can't help but do the same as she pulls him closer to her

they pull apart and rest their foreheads against one another's taking deep breaths and keeping their eyes closed as they stayed there in each other's company.

"this was too much-" she giggles

ricky laughs "oh really?"

nini nods "you didn't have to do all of this for me,"

the boy shakes his head as their eyes meet "i'd do anything for you neens."

she smiles "that's the cheesiest line you've ever said bowen,"

he chuckles and nods as they both start eating and talking

soon enough, the two are laying down, nini watching the pink flowers while ricky watches her
