Bonnie and Clyde

Talia was ecstatic when she and the others walked outside. A carriage being pulled by two horses was parked. Talia runs to the front and starts petting one of the horses as the others chatter loudly, excited to be driven by horses.

"You're so...Handsome," The blonde tells one of the horses as she bends down to check. The other one pushes his head towards her, causing her to laugh. "Don't worry, I have two hands," she hums, now petting both, "And you are...beautiful," she grins at the other

Alex watched her with a grin; as everyone piled in, he walked to her. "What do you think about Bonnie and Clyde?" The woman questions him.

Alex raises an eyebrow, looking between the two horses. "You've already named them?" He questions.

"Of course, everyone needs a name, even horses," Talia argues causing Alex to smile.

"Okay, well, we've gotta get going," he tells her; she nods and grabs his hand, leading him toward the back of the carriage. Alex stops, and Talia turns to look at him. "Come on," she tells him.

"I'm riding in my car, I've got some stuff to do before I can get to the spot," he explains.

Talia nods and moves to stand right in front of him. "Tell me something in Spanish," she grins.

Alex hums. "Te ves preciosa, amor," (𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒈𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒆𝒐𝒖𝒔, 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆) he tells her, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear, causing a happy jolt in Talia's stomach.

"What does that mean?" The blonde questions and Alex grins.

"None ya," he tells her causing her to scoff.

"Okay, asshole," she jokes, hesitating before standing on her toes and giving him a quick, sweet kiss before making her way to the back of the carriage.

Alex was stunned with a lopsided grin on his face; Talia had kissed him on the lips in front of their family and friends; he knew that was a big deal for her and felt prideful she felt comfortable enough to kiss him in front of people.

The sound of children yelling with joy and adults chatting happily filled Talia's ears as the carriage pulled into the lake where the group and others with their families and friends would watch fireworks. Everyone piles out, Talia makes sure to thank Bonnie and Clyde before helping the adults find an open spot.

Lenny finds a good spot, and everyone starts putting their stuff down when Talia feels a tug on her tank top; she turns to see Greg and Andre, an inflated mattress behind them; Talia raises her eyebrow. "What in the world do you two need that for?" She questions.

"Where gonna shoot Andre off it, will you help?" Greg questions as Andre looks at him.

"I thought you were going first," the boy says, causing Greg to shrug.

"Times have changed, dude," he looks back at Talia with a hopeful expression.

"Who's "we"?" She questions.

"Me and Owen, he's already in the water," Greg explains; Talia shrugs, not seeing a good reason not to.

She strips her tank top and shorts off, leaving her in her two-piece white bathing suit.

She watches as Greg and Andre's eyes widen, and she rolls her eyes hitting the sides of their heads. "Come on, googly eyes, let's go do some fun shit," she grabs the inflated mattress and starts carrying it to the lake, Andre and Greg following close behind.

"Okay, it's in position," Greg calls Andre and me Andre as he and Owen stand up; the two now have the inflated mattress halfway on the edge of the green floating platform in the water.
