I kneel on the large blanket that I spread out for us as Nydia sits across from me. I grab the large basket that have all the snacks and food that I got for us. I place the basket on the blankets so it's in between us. We sit by the second pool house that's all the way on the other side of the house so it's kinda secluded from everyone else.

I planned a lot of activities for us today, I got us some small canvases and some paint so we can paint together, I also got us a bracelet making kit because Nydia loves art. I don't really like art that much but I wanted to do something she'll like because I know I'll have fun with Nydia no matter what we're doing.

I also got us a lot of snacks and stuff, I got some donuts from Nydia's favorite donut place, I got pizza that I had my chef make, cookies, chips, and soda. So I really hope she has fun.

"Wait! I got you something." Nydia tells me

"What did you get me?" I ask as I smile widely

She smiles widely then she places her backpack down. She sits on her knees then she unzips her backpack. She digs into her backpack then she pulls out a singular Daisy. I let out a soft gasp then I smile widely as I press my hand against my heart.

"This is erm..this is for you." She says nervously as her hands shake while she shows me the flower

She hands me the daisy and I bring it to my face before smelling it.

"Thank you." I reply as I sway side to side while smiling

"I planned a lot of things for us." I add on

"You planned things?" She asks me as a wide smile forms on her face

"Absolutely." I respond as I gently place the daisy next to me

I take the pizzas and donuts out of the basket then I put it in front of us. I grab the bags of chips then I put it next to the pizza along with the drinks that I got us.

"You did this for me?" She asks while smiling widely

"I'd do anything for you." I reply as I nibble at my bottom lip trying not to get flustered

"Thank you so much." She tells me as she looks around at the food

"Wait, there's more." I say as I hold up my pointer finger doing a "hold on" motion

"More?" She asks as she raises her eyebrow

"I know you love art and artistic stuff so.." I trail off

I go into my backpack and I grab the canvases, the paint and brushes, and the bracelet making kit. I put it down in front of us and she gasps loudly.

"Blue.." She mutters as she looks down at the stuff

I smile widely at her then she immediately tackles me with a hug. She plays with my curls as she hugs me tightly.

"Thank you.." she whispers then she pulls away

Once she pulls away I notice that she's crying. I frown my face up as the tears roll down her face.

"What? What's wrong? Did I do something wrong? I'm so sorry" I apologize frantically

She laughs softly as she sniffles and wipes away her tears. She shakes her head no then she takes my hand.

"No. You didn't do anything wrong, you did everything right. You're the only person that cares about me Blue, you're all I have." She tells me
