Chapter 5

Lachlan
Do I wanna know, if this feeling flows both ways?

I gently parked my car outside of the entrance to the park. Looking over at Vik and smiling, "Ready?"

"Ready." We opened out doors and slammed them behind us. I made my way over to Vik and slipped my hand into his, noticing the blush spread across his cheeks. He smiled at me and glanced away in a kind of shy manner.

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see."

We swug our hands as we walked down the stone path, finally coming to a large willow tree. Vik turned to me and beamed,

"A willow? You remembered?"

"Of course I remembered. You love willows because the leaves and branches remind you of falling stars."

I tugged on his hand, pulling him under the tree and sitting on the blanket I had Preston and Rob set up while we made our way here. Vik looked around, curiosity and an emotion I couldn't recognize shown in his eyes.

He looked at me, studying my face and grinning. "A picnic? How cheesy are you?"

"Most likely the cheesiest person you know Vikram." I smiled and slid a plate with a chocolate cupcake and a piece of pizza on it. He eyed it and burst out into giggles, his face pure red.

"Oh god Lachlan-"

I laughed and shook my head, "Don't laugh! I'm a child, I don't deserve this."

"The tallest child I've ever seen." He picked up the cupcake and upwrapped it, taking a bit of it. He blinked before speaking up again, "These cupcakes are actually really fucking good."

I snorted softly and scooted over to him, "Can I get a taste?"

"If that's a cheesy way of getting me to kiss you, that's half past not happening."

"Damn, I tried so hard."

He rolled his eyes and picked up a blue icing covered cupcake, "You wanna try it?"

I nod and his smile turned in to cheeky smirk, he pulled his arm back and chucked the cupcake in my direction. I rolled back, dodging the dessert and glaring.

"You can't get icing on my clothes! Or in my hair, never the hair."

"Then take off your clothes and let me mess up your hair."

A silence lead on between us until I burst out laughing once again.

"Was t-that a sex joke?!"

"I'm not sure ! Just go with it-"

"Just do it."

That earned me a cupcake to the face.

"I've been hit, man down- man down!" I fell back and wiped my face, "I can see it now, Teenager killed by soulmate with a cupcake."

"I can't even- Lachlan, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to kill you."

I picked up the red cupcake from beside me and sat up, reaching over to slap Vik across the face with it.

"Back from the dead bitches."

"Oi!"

I grinned and stood, turning on my heel and walked away before Vik could attack me again. He caught up with me and puffed out his cheeks.
