Twenty – Special Picnic
Emerald
Nik didn’t disappoint, leading me around the dance floor like a professional. He twirled me around like a Princess, and I marveled at the way my dress flared out behind me. Although I’m still plotting my revenge against her, I will admit Britt did good picking this dress out.
Nik's now leading us out the back of the restaurant, and I can't help but wonder where he's taking me. He didn't even pay for the food. We danced for a bit, then he looked at his watch and took my hand, leading me back here.
We step through the back doors and into a tree-lined lot. He pulls me after him, his excitement contagious, which makes me all the more eager to see where he's taking me.
A few minutes later, we step into an open area with a picnic blanket set up, as well as a tray of strawberries, cheeses, crackers, and a bottle of champagne.
Cushions line the edges of the blanket, and off to the side is a thick folded blanket.
Nik turns to me with a grin. "I'm sorry I screwed up earlier, but if you'll let me, I would really like a take two?"
“When did you even have time to do this?” I ask, perplexed. He hasn’t left my side all night. There’s no way he could of snuck away to do something like this without me noticing. Unless he did it before we even left? But it sounded like he wanted to do this purely to make up for earlier, so that couldn’t have been the case.
His cheeks tinge pink and he looks down to the ground, murmuring, “I paid the server to set everything up while we were dancing.”
Oh, that's so sweet of him. I look back up at him, feeling guilty. He really thought he screwed up our date? Shit, I'm no better than Felicia.
"Nik, honey, our date was going fine. I'm sorry if you felt the need to do this, but you really didn’t have to. I’ve been having a great time," I reassure him, pulling him closer and pressing my lips to his, hoping to show how grateful I feel for the night he's given me. He even got me to dance, and I actually had fun. That in itself, made the whole night worth it.
He breaks the kiss and meets my eyes, his blue eyes alight with a fierceness I wasn't expecting. "No, this is your first one-on-one date, and you deserve for it to be the best. Though, I'll never ask Britt for advice on what will make you laugh again. I'm starting to wonder if she set me up more than she did you," he muses, and I chuckle, pressing my head to his chest.
She most definitely set him up as much as she had me. That's just what she does. We used to be partners in crime, but I guess she decided to go solo. Well, I've become especially good at sneaking around since she left me, so,
