Brock drove off to the nicest restaurant in town. He called in advance to make sure they had Reba's favorite grilled fillet of Scottish salmon with sautéed veggies and the finest white wine in the restaurant, along with the meal. Reba was impressed so far.

After the meal, he took her to the drive-in!

"Hey! What do you have in mind?" Reba was nervous

"Just to enjoy the movie like we used to when we were dating back in college, but I like your thinking!" Brock teased.

"For what I remembered, it wasn't the movie you enjoyed back in college!" Reba recalled

"Oh yeah... I remember, parking way at the back... so far we couldn't even see the screen, but it wasn't the movie I came to see anyway" Reba was getting uncomfortable.

"What was your favorite movie that we came here to see together?" he knew the answer to that one, but he was just having fun teasing her and seeing her blush.

"Shut up, the movie's about to start!" and like always, she didn't even know what she was watching! Her mind wasn't there anymore, especially when he played with her hair. She tried to focus on the movie, although she had no idea what the movie was about but she had much better control of herself compared to 30 years ago. This was unfair; he was using old memories to weaken her!

"I think we better leave now if we want to be there in time for the show" Brock brought her back from walking down the memory lane. Reba glanced at her watch. It was past midnight. She had been alone with him for more than six hours and she didn't even know it!

"I don't think there will be any show left at this time of night" Reba yawned

"Don't get sleepy yet! C'mon, you'll like this show!" he drove into a park. Reba was confused what kind of show would be in the park in the middle of the night. She noticed a small group of people with telescopes, binoculars and cameras.

Brock took the blanket out from the trunk and laid it on the grass; he made sure to have a full view of the sky. He asked Reba to sit down next to him. She was still puzzled for what he was doing, until a shooting star appeared in the sky.

"That was beautiful," Reba said in a very soft voice.

"Hold on to that thought" More shooting stars appeared in the sky. Brock stretched his arms and pretended to yawn.

"Oh cut the crap and just put your arm around me" Reba spoke, eyes still locked on the sky. The shooting stars were too beautiful to take her eyes off. Brock laughed, but follow her instructions willingly.

"Oh you're so romantic" he was being sarcasm. Reba ignored his comment. She leaned closer to him.

"Meteor Shower" Brock explained, "It doesn't happen too often, as soon as I found out about this, I have to come up with a lame excuse to change our date" he pulled her closer; Reba rested her head on his shoulder.

"It's beautiful, you're right, I love it" Reba was amazed for what she saw

"It is..." Brock kissed her temple. "and so are you" Reba trembling in his arms. "Are you cold?"

"Yeah, a little" she didn't know she would be out in the middle of the field at night, so the low plunge top and a short skirt didn't keep her warm. Brock took his jacket off and put it on her, he walked back to the car to get another blanket and a pillow.

"Boy, you came prepared" she laughed as he gave her the pillow so she could hold on to it to keep herself warm. He wrapped the blanket around them. He sat next to her and pulled her body as close as possible.

"This ain't workin'" she said and moved in front of him, sat on his lap, pull his hands to wrap around her body and leaned against him. "That's better" she said, "It's warmer".

'Warmer? He thought, this is kinda too hot'! But all he could say was "Yeah... it's... much better"

"I'm gonna make a wish" Reba closed her eyes and move her lips, she's whispered something to herself. When she open her eyes, Brock was staring at her. Those fake lashes really did bring the sexiness out of her sparkling blue eyes.

"Did you make a wish too?" Reba asked

"I don't even wanna blink, and you want me to close my eyes?" said Brock, he wondered which were more sparkling, the blue sapphire in her earrings and necklace or those in her eyes.

"You didn't even look at the sky!" she noticed he was staring at her most of the time.

"I know, but I like what I see" Reba smiles at his comment 'Yep, definitely her eyes' Brock thought

"Come on, close your eyes and make a wish"

Brock closed his eyes and he felt soft lips pressing against his. He opened his eyes to see Reba looking right into him. Lips still attached.

"Did you make a wish?" she asked softly

"Yes and it just came true" she smiled and turn her attention back to the shooting stars.

"Looks like the sky is falling down" it might be, but Brock didn't care about the sky

"Can I make another wish?" Brock asked gently moving her chin closer to his face with the side of his index finger, arm still wrapped around her body. She granted his wish by closing her eyes and parted her lips, accepting his kiss passionately.

"Reba, will you..." she closed his lips with hers.

"Please don't ask me for anything right now, I'm not in a mood to say no. I could say yes to everything you want and not even think about it. So please, whatever you want to ask, can it wait?"

"Oh good, 'cause what am about to ask, I don't want 'no' for an answer" He smiled "Reba, will you get up for a minute? I'd like to move to under that tree, so I could lean against the tree while you lean against me"
Reba laughed "Sure"

By the time they returned home, it was almost 4 am. As Reba was saying good night, Brock asked for her promise

"Don't I get a good night kiss?" Brock asked for the kiss she promised,

"I've lost count of how many times we've kissed tonight" and she enjoyed each and every one of them.

"Yeah, but they were not a good night kiss. I believe I earned it, don't I?"

"Yes you do, darlin'." Reba walked over to him and kiss him passionately "If fact, you've earn more than just a good night kiss, you've also earn a good morning kiss" Reba smiled with her eyes sparkling, Brock's heart raced a thousand beats a minute. She pulled him close by his shirt collar and whispered "It's 4am, so... Good morning" she kissed him one more time before going to bed.

"Dang, and I thought I was about to get lucky!"
Reba chuckled at his comment, but she wouldn't give in that easily!
