Picnic

"Got the bread?" Jackson asked Bianca. The two of them were scurrying away in the kitchen that fine morning, sorting through the different ingredients for the picnic the two decided to have.

"Yep." she replied, holding the wheat bread, beaming right at her boyfriend.

Jackson laughs, taking the bread from Bianca's hand, placing it in the basket. "Remind me why we got wheat bread again?" Bianca shrugs, her giggles being interrupted by Bianca's front door harshly being opened.

It was Zen and Eli, barging in somehow, like they had a key.

"Hey guys!" Eli cooed.

"Hey.."

"Guess what?" he asks, a smile plastered on his face. Bianca and Jackson turn to each other, admiring the smile that had fallen on Eli's face, already having an idea, but still shrugging. "Hit us."

"Guess who got a job a the best hotel in town?!" Eli then asks, and the two of them still shrug. Eli's excitement purposely died down, slumping in his stance. "Y'all are dumb, Zen!" He laughs, and a small man appears in his usual black tie and white blouse.

Bianca claps, while Jackson walks over, almost towering the man, scaring him. "Good job. Eli did you use compulsion?" Eli slowly nods. "Yes, but I'm pretty sure they already liked him so he was probably going to get the job anyway." he nudges Zen who was slightly shy.

"Thanks." Zen whispers, walking back towards Eli.

Bianca admired the two, and Zen for finally getting a job. "Was it hard? Do you think the workers caught on?" Eli shakes his head in response. "Not hard at all. Guess people still think vampires are some fake creatures--hah, sucks for them, right?" Eli jokes, staring right at Zen who smiled and giggled back.

Jackson walked back over to Bianca, continuing checking off the different snacks and ingredients on the list to their perfect picnic. Eli and Zen soon peer over. "What's all this for?" he asks, admiring the different snacks.

Bianca didn't bother to look up at the two boys, too busy placing the snacks in her basket. "Jackson and I are going on a picnic. We haven't really done something sweet like that like--ever. So why not?" she smiles.

Zen lets out an "awe" noise, though Eli just snorts. "Wow such a power couple." he mocks, earning a dirty look from Jackson. "Relax, I'm just teasing. Bianca, dear, I don't think a relationship as chaotic as yours can just have a sweet, little innocent picnic." he smirks.

Zen raises an eyebrow. You could just tell he agreed, and was trying desperately to not slip up into laughter in front of Jackson who he slightly feared.

Bianca just shakes her head. "Eli, guess you wouldn't know what love is because all the "lovers" you claim to have were girls." she snaps back, playfully. Eli steps back, acting disgusted.

"You're gay?"

"Wow, never knew that." Jackson states in shock, causing Bianca to break out into more laughter. Zen sneaked a few giggles as well.

"Lucky for you losers, I may be gay, but at least I'm not in love with a man that shot me." Eli snaps finally. Zen gasps, laughing even more. Jackson and Bianca's eyes widen, trying their hardest to keep it together.

"I'd run if I were you, Harris." Bianca says.

Eli nods, grabbing Zen's hand, sprinting out her door.

"This is a good spot." Jackson tells Bianca. The two had arrived at the park. The sun was out, beaming among them, children were laughing, parents watching closely, while also having some fun themselves.
