" That's not fair and you know it," He gritted, " You're not the only one who blames themselves for his death."
" He's dead because of me, Exodus!" I yelled before I could even stop myself, " It should've been me laying in the fucking casket, not...

" WOW, ITS BEAUTIFUL," I say in admiration, completely awed at the gorgeous landscape in front of us, birds chirping happily around us as they flew together as one.
Exodus nodded in agreement, leaning back on our picnic blanket while popping a grape into his mouth. " It definitely is,"
bright green grass painted the ground beneath our feet, with large oak trees trees — both young and old— swaying in harmony as a kiss of wind blew past our bodies. Just in the distance, you could see the morning sun poking through the trees, pouring its radiance through such beauty; highlighting the gorgeous flowers adorned in hues of blues, pinks, and purple's.
Nneka and Mateo were somewhere in the different area of the park, as we all agreed that we needed some privacy and a chance to talk to one another without the other eavesdropping on the conversation ( Aka Mateo).
Nneka and Mateo had lots, and I mean a lot of built up tension between each other, and it was either sexual tension or all of the above. I see the way they steal glances at each other, and the way that Mateo looks at Nneka as if she's the most beautiful girl he's ever seen.

A comfortable silence looms over us, one that I've grown to love. We didn't have to say much to each other, but just enjoying each other's presence was enough for me. With the glorious sun shining upon us, and the blue skies clear as day, it was the perfect day.
" Baby,"
I glanced over at Exodus, " Hm?"
He blows out a breath, looking nervous as ever as he abruptly sat up from his position. " Uh, Listen I-" Exodus paused, wiping his hands on his jeans, inhaling sharply as he lets out a nervous chuckle, " Damn I'm really not good at this,"
