Moonlit Picnic Date With Johnny (63)

This evening was the day you and Johnny would finally have your second date. Your first date was about 5 months ago, but because he'd been so busy with filming his new movie, Modi, he and you couldn't schedule another date until now. This is set on the 14th of April 2024 (the day before the London Jeanne Du Barry premiere)

You and Johnny texted each other all day before the evening of your date. Johnny said he'd planned it all out on his own with no help from you or anyone else.

J: Are you ready?

Y/n: Yes. What are you planning?

J: It's a secret. See you outside your house at 11:30pm.

Y/n: 11:30pm?!?! Why so late?

J: You'll see soon. Bye.

Y/n: Bye.

You were very intrigued about what Johnny might have planned for the date. Eventually 11:30 rolled around and you waited outside in the cold spring London weather. It actually started spitting with rain, but before long a blacked out BMW arrived. It pulled up outside and Johnny, who was sitting in the back, rolled his window down. "Are ya ready?"

You nodded and walked around the other side of the car and got in. As soon as you closed the car door you warmed up and the first thing you smelled was a mixture of smoke and Dior Sauvage aftershave.

Johnny was subtle. He was wearing a black beanie and was nearly totally clean shaven except from his moustache. He was wearing a dark black and dark red scarf which covered his chin and wore a black suit without a tie with a white shirt. He had a pair of sunglasses on his head, mixed up in his now freshly cut short hair, and smiled at you. "Did I keep you waiting for long?" He asked before putting a joint to his lips.

"No, I was only out there for a minute or so." You felt weirdly pretty nervous. You assumed it was cause you'd barely seen Johnny in person for months. "Where have you been recently? I guessed in LA or something, but I was just curious-"

"I've been in LA and London. To be honest I've been here for a few weeks. I did go to Italy for a while last week, but since I'm back I thought I'd check in on you. Sorry I've been so busy since our first date."

"It's fine. I saw on Instagram that you have a premiere tomorrow in Mayfair-"

"Yeah. Tomorrow for Jeanne Du Barry. I'm looking forward to it. Wanna come with me?"

You weren't expecting to be invited. "Oh, erm, no thanks. I was only asking..."

Johnny grinned. "That's fine. I won't force you. The media can get a little obsessed if they see me with anyone new anyway. I'm glad we can spent this evening together though."

"Same. How come we are going out so late?"

"As I told you earlier, it's a surprise. We'll be there soon."

"Ok." You both faced forward in the car. It was so dark that you couldn't really tell where the car was driving you.

10 minutes later the car slowed down and pulled into a car park. You stared out of the window and looked around. All you could see was darkness, some trees and a few streetlights.

"Where the hell are we?"

Johnny laughed and put his joint out. "I'll show you." Johnny opened his door, walked around to your door and opened it for you. You got out and then he went to the boot of the car and grabbed a big basket. "Follow me, please." You did as he said and followed him into the darkness.

You were cold, but in a weird way you didn't mind. You followed Johnny until you and him were a decent distance from the car. You turned back and stared at the car. You could still see it, but the driver was barely visible. Johnny then stopped and put the large basket down. He laid down a blanket and sat down. You copied him and frowned at him.
