The silent Orphan girl! (Under construction)

Chapter 20: Picknic

I look at Ryder and are a bit surprised, had he just asked me to go out with him? I blush a smiles.

"I would love to!" I say and walks over to him. He releases a breath and smiles.

"How about tomorrow night?" He asks and I think for a while.

"That would work, so where are you planing on taking my on an Saturday night?" I ask a bit curious and he smiles widely before taking my arm and starting to walk toward the kitchen while holding my arm. I follow nicely.

"That's for me to figure out before tomorrow night, but now we will have to go to the kids or Melody gets suspicious. And when she does she asks to many questions." He say and smiles while leading me to the kitchen. I laugh a bit. When we get into the kitchen Melody quickly looks at Ryder holding my arm and then on me. I smile to her and she goes back to the cookies and boxes that she, Grey and Daisy is fixing. I look over to the chair beside Grey and sees that he already has gotten a blanket for our picknic. I smile and goes over to stand behind Grey. He looks up at me an smiles.

"Look, I got a blanket. I like this one because it's stars on it." He says and I smile.

"I love stars. Riley and I used to sneak out past curfew and lay watching the stars for hours." I show off my dimples thinking about all those nights. Out in the dark laying on a blanket some nights we even slept outside.

"Are you ready?" Melody asks and I smile.

"I'm" I say and she takes my hand and starts to drag me after her.

"Grey and I have an special place where it's very beautiful and nice, and we would like to share it with you. If you want!" Melody says while Daisy and Grey walks behind us with all the cookies and milk and ever some muffins. I smile when I notice Ryder walking a bit behind us looking at his sister and me. A blush creeps up into my cheeks and I turn to Melody again.

"I would love that!" I say before leaning in a bit and whispers to her. "Ryder doesn't get to get in there does he?" I ask and she giggles and whispers back, "No, just kids but you're a girl so you get to be with us and we like you" She smiles and I laugh a bit.  I look over my shoulder at Ryder and study him a bit before turning around with a light blush on my cheeks. Melody smiles at me and we walk a bit longer away from the house before she turns to Ryder and holds up her hands.

"You don't get to go in here!! Go to the boys and run around like fools chasing a ball!" She says and Ryder gasp, and then smiles.

"What? I don't get to be with you girls and Grey?" He asks while smiling and Melody shakes her head.

"Nope, we're talking secrets in our secret place!" She says and Ryder laughs.

"Okay, I see you later then." He says and runs off toward the boys and I smile. Melody turns to me and takes my hand and drags me with her in under an low-hanging tree branch that's covered in lightly green leaves. We get into an smaller area where there is shrubs and trees with small flowers and newly green leaves all around us except from the small opening where we got in to the clearing from. I surprised around and then turn to Melody and Grey and I can swear that my eyes are big enough to be scary. The kids and Daisy smiles and Daisy lay out the blanket in the middle of the place before putting down the basket with goodies in the middle of the blanket. We all takes each corner of the blanket.

I look up at the sky and smiles, It's nice here, there is enough trees and shrubs around us to hide us from sight but still enough to see the sky in the middle of the clearing. I smile and feel how Grey and Melody turns and whispers to each other.
