The picnic
Hey y'all! I decided to upload this a bit early so you're welcome! Also, it may be a couple days until I update again so I put some extra kick in there for ya! Remember to review! You can make some suggestions if you want too! I'm always looking for great ideas! So read, review, favorite, and enjoy!
I woke up with a big smile on my face. The brewers were coming on a picnic with us and I would get to see Jack again! Wait- I mean Milton. Yeah, I meant Milton. Jack and I are just friends.
I opened my pink curtains and looked outside. The sky was a light baby blue and lacked a single cloud. The sun was out so it was nice and warm. I could tell there was a light breeze by the movement of the leaves on the trees swaying back and forth.
I took a quick shower and blow dried my hair. I straightened it and clipped my bangs back with a golden bobby pin, to blend in with my hair. I decided to wear a little more makeup then usual. Not to impress jack or anything, I just- you know, wanted to try something different? I but on a smidgen of eyeliner and made sure to make my eyelashes extra long with mascara. I put on a light layer of foundation and finished it off with same light pink lipstick. Now it's time to pick out my outfit.
I decided to wear a light pink sundress that went 3/4 of the way to me knee. It looked like. Regular sundress in the front, but in the back the two straps crossed and formed a bow. I decided to wear some casual heels with the dress. I looked in the mirror and twirled around.
I walked downstairs to find my mother and father eating in the dining room.
"Hello Kimberly! Excited to see Milton today?" My mother asked.
"Yes, I am very excited, mother." I lied.
Well the brewers will be here any minute, and we'll take the limo to the park, okay?" She told me. I nodded in agreement.
My family took the limo everywhere. They hardly ever drove unless our chauffeur was unavailable.
Ding dong.
"I'll get it!" I said eagerly.
My mother chuckled. "Oh no darling, ill get it! You just sit there and look pretty for your man." She said.
My stomach tied in a knot. Oh yeah, Milton. I thought to myself.
"Hello Milton! Nice to see you again!" I heard my mother say.
I saw Milton and mr and Mrs. Brewer walk in. Where was Jack? I thought to myself. Suddenly I heard a familiar voice.
"Sorry for the wait Mrs. Crawford. My mother asked me to park the car." Jack said.
I felt butterflies and I smiled. I saw Milton and his parents walk into our dining room, where I was sitting.
"Hello again darling!" Milton said to me.
I gave him a small smile and a quick hug. I greeted Mr. and Mrs. Brewer as they walked in the room. Following behind them, I saw Jack. He locked eyes with me as soon as he walked into the room. He stopped short.
"Kim," he walked up to me. "You look breathtaking." He finished.
I felt my cheeks turn a bright red. He smiled at my response. I bit my lip. Luckily my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Brewer, and Milton were all busy admiring my parents ice sculpture sitting on the table. It was an abstract piece created by my parents friend.
"Well I think it's time to go!" My father said.
We all got in the limo. The parents all day together and I sat in between Jack and Milton. The parents were all talking about politics while Milton, Jack, and I sat in comfortable silence. The limo took a sharp turn and I leaned on Jack while his hand went on my thigh. After the turn, we realized the position we were in and we looked at each other. I had to use all of the strength in my body not to kiss him right then and there. I saw Milton look at us and raise an eyebrow and we quickly pulled away from each other. We sat there in an awkward silence for the rest of the ride. When we got to the park for our picnic, our chauffeur-Bertrum-opened the door and we all got out of the limo. We walked to a picnic table and sat down. It was Milton and his parents on one side, and me, my parents, and Jack on the other side. I sat across from Milton and next to Jack this time. It wasnt a very large picnic table, and it was a little squished with four of us sitting on one side. I didn't mind though; I liked being this close to Jack. His body radiated warmth and I felt so secure and protected just sitting next to him. Wait-what am I saying? oh forget it.
For lunch, we had small turkey and cheese sandwiches, salad, cheese and crackers, chocolate chip cookies, and lemonade.
"What a wonderful day it is!" My mother said happily.
"I don't know; it's a little too warm for me out here." Mrs. Brewer said. She just sat there fanning herself with a folded newspaper.
I reached over to grab the last chocolate chip cookie and I felt a hand on mine right as I grabbed it. I looked over and saw that Jack had reached for the same cookie I did at the exact same time as me. I started blushing and I could tell he was too. We both awkwardly pulled away.
"You can have it if you want." Jack said while rubbing the back of his neck.
"No it's fine. You can have it." I said while awkwardly fidgeting with my hands.
"No no it's the last one. You take it." He said and smiled. I smiled back.
"Thanks." I said.
Thankfully everyone else was too engulfed in a conversation to notice our little moment. Jack and I decided to start our own little quiet conversation.
"So are you warming up to Milton?" Jack asked.
"Not really. He's nice and all. But-"
"But you want real love." Jack finished my sentence for me.
"Yeah." I smiled. He smiled back.
"Why don't we go somewhere away from all of these snobs?" Jack asked.
"That would be nice, but how are we going to sneak away?" I asked.
Jack cleared his throat.
"Mother, Kimberly needs to use the restroom. I thought I saw one 3/4 miles back there. I don't think she should be walking alone. May I escort her?" He asked politely.
"Nonsense, ill do it!" Milton said standing up.
"No Miltey! You'll ruin those new pair of shoes I bought you! Jack go ahead." Mrs. Brewer said.
Jack and I walked away and were out of sight. We walked in a comfortable silence. As we walked, our hands swung and our fingers accidentally touched. Neither of us pulled away for a few seconds, then we both did.
Jack cleared his throat.
"Sorry." He said while avoiding my gaze.
I looked up at him and saw his face was a light shade of red. I could feel mine was too. We walked in an awkward silence until we reached a lake. The lake was a beautiful blue and was surrounded by thick grassy forests on three sides. On the other side, there was a dock. We walked to the dock and stood there.
"It's beautiful." I said. I thought I heard Jack say something under his breath, but I couldn't understand it.
"Don't fall!" He said while giving me a small push.
"Jack!" I screamed and playfully slapped him. He started laughing.
"I would've killed you if you pushed me in." I said.
"Come on Kim, lets go swimming!" He begged.
"Jack I'm wearing a sundress!" I said to him.
"Yeah, and I'm wearing khakis and a polo shirt." He pointed out. I rolled my eyes.
"Please?" He begged. His eyes turned into big brown puppy dog eyes. It was seriously he cutest thing ever. I smirked and pushed him in.
He popped his head out of the water.
"Hey!" He yelled. He climbed back onto the dock.
"you shouldn't of done that Kimberly." He said while smirking.
He grabbed the bottom of his shirt and lifted it above his head and threw it onto the dock. I gulped. He had a nice body. His chest and shoulders were firm. He had muscular arms- not too big, but very noticeable. My eyes wandered down to his abs. 'God god this boy is gorgeous!' I thought to myself. I guess he noticed me lost into my thoughts. Suddenly he ran at me and tackled me into the water. We both came up for air.
"Jack!" I yelled.
He looked at me and started laughing. I tried to glare at him but it was no use. The corners of my lips were twitching upward and my smile turned into a giggle which turned into a laugh. Jack and I just sat there laughing at each other. I swam over to him and dunked his head underwater. Luckily it was shallow enough for us to stand. He came up and splashed me. We have a five minute splashing war until we both gave up. We stood there just staring into each others eyes. He swam closer to me and wrapped his arm around my waist. I blushed and smiled. He smiled back. He took his finger and wiped my wet hair out of my face and behind my ear. We stood there for a few more seconds. I tilted my head down and sighed.
"Milton." I reminded him. He pulled away and ran a finger through his wet hair. He sighed.
"Come on. Lets get you back to the picnic. Everyone will be wondering what took so long." He said.
