"So where's a nice spot to eat?" I ask, my hand intertwined with Camilos

"Well there's not really a spot" I look at him
"What's your plan then?"
"My plan?" he asks and I nod
"you're the one who made the areaps "
"And you're  the one who cooked them" He pokes my ribs and I laugh.

"Alright, it was a team effort" I say finally and he chuckles "but seriously, we need a plan"

"I have one Amor"

"Mind telling me?" I ask sweetly

"I do mind" He says, looking ahead
"Please" I whine, stretching the 'e' sound

"We'll just buy food today and set up something" Camilo shrugs
"A picnic?" I suggest

"Yes! Brilliant we'll set up a family picnic" He starts running, dragging me behind him.
"Don't we need money?" I ask, laughing and Camilo stops, I run into him.

"Yeah, we do" He says and groans. I lead him back and we grab money
"How's the cooking going?" Pepa asks and Camilo lets out a high pitched. shriek. I burst out laughing, I double over and hold my stomach.

"So, so good" Camilo says with a smile. I lean on the counter, cackling.

"I can't wait to taste it" Pepa smiles at us
"It'll-it'll still be a while" I giggle

"Just lets us know" Pepa laughs and walks out. Camilo grabs my wrist and pulls me out, still giggling
"Okay it wasn't that funny" He mutters and I stifle my laughs
"You scream like a girl" I whisper and he looks back
"No I don't!"
"You do"
"Whatever" He says and we stop at four stands
"Okay is this enough?" I ask, arms full of food

"I think so" He says and we walk back up to Casita. He grabs a blanket and lays it on the ground. We lay out the food and stand up. I look at him
"They'll like it" Camilo nods

"You sure?" I ask, his arm around my waist

"Nope" I laugh nervously and he kisses my cheek
"They'll pretend to like it" he reassures
"Yeah, my family will not" I say simply and he laughs.

"Oh good! We're starving!" Felix says and we hold our breathes.
"We thought we'd have a picnic, something different" Camilo says with a smile.
"Wonderful!" Pepa says and sits down. I sit down next to Mirabel

"I didn't know you could cook" My brother says, mouthful

"There's a lot of things you don't know about me" I shrug and Camilo puts his arm around my shoulders, I lean on him
"Like what?" He asks, unimpressed.

"I don't know" I shrug

"That's what I thought" He says smugly and Camilo steals the arepa between my fingers. I look at him, his cheeks full like a chipmunk. All the adults smile at us sweetly
"Do you two have any honeymoon places in mind?" Mami asks us and I look at her. Camilo's face is still full
"Not really no" He nods his head in agreement

"Well I found the perfect place" Isabela says
"What is it?" Camilo asks
"Not telling, you'll see when you get there" She says mischievously and takes a sip of juice. I look at Camilo and he rolls his eyes
"You two leave tomorrow" Alma says
"Tomorrow?" I ask, a new arepa in hand
"Si" Camilo reaches for the food but I move my hand away from him

"Get your own food" I mutter

"But you're my wife"
"So?" I scoff and he laughs

"Please" He bats his eyes at me. I roll mine and shove the whole arepa in his mouth.

"You're a child" I mutter and everyone laughs.
