The couple passed a very lazy Saturday after the previous nights antics. They spent the whole day in bed, only emerging for sustenance or to re enact parr of last nights fun. As the evening was approaching, Marjorie fell asleep, and Reece took this opportunity to start getting ready for tonight. Firstly, he went to Tesco and picked up a couple of meal deals. Then he went back to his house where he packed the food, a couple of blankets, and some other bits in a rucksack. He jumped back in the car and returned to Marjories, hoping to make it back before she woke up. As he walked back into the house, he could hear the shower running, so he knew not only was she up, but she was getting ready for their date. Reece had changed while he was at home, so he was ready to go. He led on Marjories bed playing on his phone, waiting for Marjorie to return from the shower. She walked back in, wrapped in a towel. She walked straight over to Reece to give him a kiss. "Where have you been, Mr.?"
He tugged at her towel so it fell to the floor and pulled her onto his lap, laying an even deeper kiss on her lips before answering, "Just getting things ready for tonight. Speaking of, I should probably let you get ready. We've got a long drive before our date. Wear something comfortable rather than fancy. You'll look stunning regardless of what you wear, but you'll be happier comfy."
She begrudgingly got off his lap to get dressed, putting on a pair of black leggings and a long jumper. She went to pull on a pair of heels when Reece said that she might be better off in flats tonight. She looked at him with confusion, but it was Reece, and she trusted him with her life, so she didn't question it. Once she was ready, Reece looked her up and down, Marjorie recognised it as his undressing her with his eyes look, before saying, "You look incredible tonight, Marjorie."
"Not so bad yourself." She replied with a wink.
They got into Reeces car and he started driving. It was an hours drive to where he was planning on taking her. She held his hand in her lap the whole way, trying to get information out of him, but he wasn't giving anything away.
After a little under an hour, he parked up in what looked to Marjorie to be the middle of nowhere. It appeared to be some sort of car park, but there were no other cars there. "Reece, where are we?"
"Black Down," he replied. "The highest point in Sussex." He put the rucksack on his back and reached out to take Marjories hand before leading the way as they started to walk uphill.
"And what are we doing here?" She asked, hoping in a minute she would get some actual answers.
"All will be revealed soon. Just trust me."
They carried on walking, and eventually Reece brought them to a stop in a clearing. When she looked out, even in the darkness, the views were stunning.
"Oh my god! Reece, this is beautiful. I'm sure it looks better in daylight though, why are we here in the dark?"
He put the rucksack down and pulled out the blankets, laying one down on the ground and the other on top still folded. That one was for if Marjorie got cold. He then reached back into the rucksack and pulled out a smaller bag. Upon opening the smaller bag, he started pulling different pieces and bits of equipment out. It took Marjorie a minute to realise that once he had assembled it all, it would be a telescope. He got out the food and drinks and then sat down, gesturing for Marjorie to come and join him.
