Our Girl

Michael

My date with Jas is in a few hours and I may or may not be a little bit nervous.

I finished putting my hair into braids before picking out something to wear.

I was going to take her out on a picnic date and maybe we could catch the sunset. I hope she'd like that.

It was getting quite hot nowadays so I settled on some grey knee-length shorts and a dark blue button up shirt with some converse and a couple of necklaces.

I had a few of our men help me set up the picnic while Leo taught me how to make grilled chicken sandwiches and by taught, I mean he did it all by himself while I watched.

My phone rang and sense of happiness washed over me when I saw her name light up my screen.

"You don't know what to wear, do you?"

"Nope."

"Well it's hot today"

She stayed silent for a while before speaking "That's not helpful at all. I hate you. Okay I don't hate you. I didn't mean to say that but can you please give me something else" she rambled making me smile.

"Don't wear sweatpants. I'll see you soon! Bye!" I hung up before I folded.

I filled out some forms and har a quick meeting with some of my men before picking her up.

"HEYY! WE'RE MATCHING!" She ran up to me excitedly. She was wearing dark green shorts with a grey t shirt and converse with some necklaces. The t shirt she was wearing had a small lightsaber in the middle which was incredibly cool.

I bent down a little to give her a hug as she wrapped her hands around my neck.

"You look very cool, sweetheart" I complimented as she rested her chin on my chest, looking up at me with those beautiful light brown eyes.

"Thank you" she smiled "you look very cool too" she complimented back, making me smile.

As I opened the door for her, I felt some eyes on us but ignored it considering I only want to focus on Jasmine.

. . .

"Can I open my eyes now?" She asked impatiently with my hands over her eyes.

I removed my hands and went to her side to see her reaction.

She gasped "MICHAEL!!! THIS IS SO CUTE. DID YOU DO THIS YOURSELF? THIS IS AMAZING"

"I had some help but I basically did it myself if you think about it"

"Ugh it's adorable" he wrapped her arms around my waist, giving me a hug.

"I'm glad you like it. Let's go eat because I am starving"

"Agreed" she smiled, pulling me towards the blanket which was under a large oak tree.

I had set up a classic red and white chequered blanket and a classic picnic basket in the middle with a bottle of wine and some fairy lights on the tree to light up the area considering it might get dark soon.

. . .

"I love your accents" she said in the middle of eating her sandwich which she really enjoyed.

"Thank you. Have you ever been?"

"Ireland? Oh no. I actually wanted to go uni over there but my family thought that was too far. They're still not happy about me being here"

I'm taking her there one day no matter what.

"Why don't they want you here?"

"It's too far. They don't trust me that much and they're worried, mainly because-" she gestured to her whole body "-I'm a girl" she
