09. a night to know you

nini and lucas made their way to his car and continued their way through the roads

it was quiet for a few seconds before nini found the courage to speak

"so, where are we going?" she asks

"first we're going to do something important," he says, taking a turn and parking the car at a grocery store

"why are we here?" nini asks with a laugh, the both of them getting out of the car

"we're going to get some snacks before i show you something," he grins

nini doesn't hide her smile and follows him into the store, the both of them easing up as they messed around and chose different foods together

"okay, tell me where we're going!" nini exclaims

after spending a few moments with lucas, she had managed to finally loosen up and just be herself around him, which was a lot of fun. they both wouldn't stop laughing and talking about different things

"alright, we're just going to a little spot i found," he explains

nini raises her eyebrows as she takes a chip and eats it, looking out the window

"you're not like-taking me somewhere to kill me are you?" she asks

lucas chuckles "really? that's what you're going with?"

"hey, i have this thing with murder documentaries, and i know exactly how these type of stuff go," she defends

lucas shakes his head "well, you have nothing to worry about,"

"that's what a serial killer would say," she says cautiously

he looks at her "would i look like the guy who would murder someone?"

nini looks at him for a few seconds before shrugging her shoulders "i mean-i guess with your hair,"

"my hair?" he asks confused

nini nods with a grin and he shakes his head with a chuckle as they arrive at a green cliff side

"okay, come on," he says, leading her towards the edge as they both sit down

"what am i supposed to look at?" she asks him interested

he points to the landscape that was lit up by the city lights.

nini gasps "it's so beautiful!" she exclaims

lucas nods happily "i come here sometimes to clear my head,"

nini beams at him "i didn't know you were a hopeless romantic,"

lucas chuckles and shrugs his shoulders "i can't help
it."

nini looks in front of her as she feels a light wind blow past them and he looks at her

"alright, let's play a game," he suggests

she raises an eyebrow and turns to face him "what kind of game?"

"how about ten questions?"

nini nods "okay then,"

"okay, i'll start," he begins, deep in thought before nodding "what instrument do you prefer to play?"

"piano," she says straight away "hands down. there's nothing like a good grand piano,"

lucas nods "very true."

"okay," she hums "favorite food."

"watermelon," he answers

nini raises her eyebrows "watermelon?"

lucas nods "yeah, it's really good okay?"

she giggles and nods as he takes a deep breath and thinks of another question

"favorite artist?"

"taylor swift!" she exclaims happily "i'm the biggest swiftie."

lucas chuckles at her excitement, nodding knowingly due to the car ride

they both spent another hour laughing and properly getting to know each other, and nini could say that she was all too happy in this moment right now with lucas.
