"Stiles, I swear, if you take me to a fancy restaurant. I'm going to kill you." I groaned, my forehead pressed against the jeep's window.
"I promise, it isn't anything fancy. Now will you stop? Please?" Stiles momentarily glanced at me as he drove. "You're going to love it."
"Fine." I sighed, biting back a grin.
"Besides. We're almost there." Stiles laced his free hand with mine. A few minutes later, Stiles pulled the jeep into the Preserve. With a grin, he undid his seatbelt and reached towards the back seats. He pulled out a picnic basket and a plaid blanket. I perked an eyebrow at him. "What?"
"Did you think of this all by yourself or did someone help you?"
"You know, your faith of my romantic side is lowering my self-esteem." Stiles told me as he opened his door. I chuckled and followed him out.
"Please." I giggled out, skipping up next to him. I hooked my arm into his and placed my chin on his shoulder. "You and I both know someone had to tell you that I love picnics because we have never discussed about this."
"Okay, okay." Stiles sighed, his lips twitching into a smile. He looked down at me as we started to walk towards the area Stiles picked out. "I may or may not have IM'ed your brother."
"You IM'ed Percy? Of all people?" I groaned out, holding back the urge to face palm.
"What? He was very informative. He told me that you and Kira would always go outside, during lunch, and have a picnic every Friday. I thought that would be nice if I did the same thing for my girlfriend."
"Well," I wet my lips. "You're lucky I do think that this is nice. Thank you."
"Good." Stiles smiled down at me. He pecked my lips. "Now come on. I think you're going to love the place I picked out."
"It isn't the Nemeton, right? 'Cause that would be a weird place to eat. Although it would make a great table..." I trailed off as Stiles stopped. He stood in front of me, blocking my view of the scenery. I could hear water flowing a few feet away. I raised an eyebrow at him. "What are you doing? Are we here?"
"We're here."
"Then...can you move please? I want to see-"
"Not yet!" Stiles told me, waving his hands around. He set down the basket and the blanket on the ground. He then placed his hands over my eyes. "Turn around and let me set it up."
"Stiles," I chuckled out. "I can help you set it-"
"Nope! Not gonna happen. Let me do." Stiles turned me around.
"Then why can't I see it?" I asked him. I really wanted to turn around and see what he was hiding.
"Because I said so. Is that not a good enough reason to not turn around yet?" Stiles called out.
