Derick's POV



I think this is going really well. Gianna looks absolutely stunning in such a simple outfit.

We got into the horse carriage thing and started trotting around. Gianna takes a few pictures along the way.

I think ahead to what else we should do. I check the time, 4:19pm. Great.

If we are going to go to the High-Line, we need to head over now so we can definitely get something to eat.

The tour ends and we walk back to the car.

An hour of singing different songs passes and we arrive at our destination. She has never been here and is mesmerized.

She takes out her camera again and starts taking pictures of the tracks and everything. We get something to eat and then I realize that the sunset would look absolutely amazing from the observation deck of the Freedom Tower, which is now open.

We head to the Freedom Tower, as it is drawing nearer and nearer to sunset. Once we arrive, we go through admissions and security. Once that's finally over, we walk up the stairs, taking our time.

We make small talk about anything, including childhood, photography and everything in between.

Once we arrive at the observation deck, we sit down and hang out until the sun starts to go down.

Once it begins to go down, Gianna springs to her feet and starts taking pictures of it.

I look over her shoulder at the pictures she is taking and I must say, she is amazing. I take a step back to just marvel at her beauty.

"Whatcha looking at Der?" She asks, using the nickname that she has given me.

"Oh nothing," I say, fighting back a blush.

She goes back to taking pictures and I again think to myself "How am I supposed to not want to date her for the next six months? Is that possible?"

Apparentally that's how it has to be until everything works out in her brother's mind.

I think I found her.

I mean she is standing right in front of me but I think I found HER.

But this HER I speak of is my captain's baby sister.
