"Thank you, Dad. I miss you all and love you.", said Georgia, the next morning as she spoke with her parents over the phone, filling them in with the details about the night before and the lunch date with Justin, while having breakfast at their suite. 

"Do you have something fancy to wear?", her best friend Jovie asked while she was still in her robe, fresh from the shower and rummaging through her luggage. 

Looking through the array of clothes in their suite's cabinet, Georgia mumbled, "I don't. Tsk, tsk,"

Trying and changing from one outfit to another almost drained Georgia's energy for the day. She ended up wearing a white bomber jacket with blue linings on the wrist, on top of the blue fitted shirt and pants, pairing it up with white high Chuck Taylor shoes. She let her hair down per usual. Staring at her reflection in the mirror, she hoped she looked good. I don't look like I'm going out on a date with a celebrity, she concluded. But, this will do. The less the attention, the better.

 The less the attention, the better

"Ready?" Justin asked with a radiant smile that made his face more charming, as he greeted her at their suite's entrance. He was wearing a Brown leather jacket on top of a black shirt and black pants, his curls loose and not tamed by a bandana that day.  "You look gorgeous," he whispered as he offered his one arm for Georgia to hold on to after he gave her flowers. 

"Thanks" Georgia answered as she smelled the bouquet of red roses. They bade goodbye to Georgia's friends and headed out of the hotel, one bodyguard walking ahead of them. A shiny black limousine was waiting for them at the hotel's front entrance.  "Where are we going?" she asked Justin 

"I made some reservations" Justin answered as they rode inside the spacious limousine. 

"Hmmm, I have other plans."

"I'm all ears."

"Can we go eat at food trucks?" Georgia asked

"Food Truck?" Justin asked, bewildered. "You sure?" 

"Yup. You said you missed eating at those, so I figured why not eat there with me?" Georgia explained. "But if people see you, it might be a problem, we can go for the reservation if you want." 

"Just tell me that 's what you really want, I don't care about people seeing us." Justin stared at her with such admiration, that Georgia's heart started to race again. 

"It is. But as I've said--"

"Shhhhh" Justin interrupted her, placing one finger over her mouth. "No Buts. It's okay. We will eat there, let's not mind the people, if it goes out of hand, we can always go."

Georgia's heart melted when she heard his words. Oh God, is this what it's like? , she pondered. Having no experience with boys or boyfriends romantically, Justin for sure is setting the bar high for Georgia. They rode for another 15 minutes going to Wall Street looking for a food truck that was decent enough and not so crowded for them to eat.
