Chapter Nine - LOOKING AT STARS
"So baby, pick me up, I'll be in the drive
Take me where the moon's hanging in the sky
We can park it by the river, get out and throw the tailgate down down down
You can steal a kiss, maybe even two
Only the truck and the trees gonna see what we do
All I wanna be is wrapped in your arms, laying in the dark,
Looking at stars."

Sophia looked at herself in the mirror and took a deep breath. She was ready for her "first" date with Thomas.
He had told her to dress casually so she just put on flare jeans and a gray V neck T-shirt.
When it was 15:55, the doorbell rang. Blake was early. Good thing Sophie was ready. She only grabbed her purse before taking a deep breath and going towards the door.
When she opened it, he was standing there with a wide grin on his face, wearing cargo shorts and a white Nike shirt.
"You look beautiful." Blake said first of all.
"Hi to you too." Sophie replied. "And thanks."
"Shall we go?" He asked, motioning for her to go out and lead the way.
They small chatted until they got to his car.
"You own a truck." Sophie stated, surprised that Blake wasn't driving a sports car like a Lamborghini.
He only shrugged and opened the door for her to get in.
When he was seated on his side, he extended his arm to the backseat and pulled a small bag.
"First I have a gift for you." Blake announced and Sophie raised her euebrows not expecting that. He offered her the bag and she took it, taking out whatever was inside it.
She recognized the Red Bulls logo in a T-shirt and a smile opened in her face.
"That's for you to wear whenever you go watch a game." Blake explained and Sophia laughed, unwrapping the Red Bull jersey.
"I haven't looked yet but I bet it has your number and name on it." She told him and they both started laughing as she looked at the back of the shirt, confirming her suspicion.
"Guilty."
"Thank you. I loved it." Sophia looked at him and his blue eyes stared right back at her.
"You're welcome." Blake turned the engine on and started driving wherever it was they were going. "You like Italian food, right?"
"Hmm, so we're going to an Italian restaurant!" Sophie got excited. "I must admit I'm a bit hungry."
"Yes we are. Kind of." Thomas said with a mischievous grin that got Sophie wondering what was going through his mind.
They drove for a while before getting to their final destination. A small and cozy looking restaurant near Upper New York Bay.
Blake parked in front of the restaurant and got out running in front of the car so he could get to the other side soon enough to open Sophie's door.
