Liana

More than a picnic, it seem like some formal and informal party. The backyard was green and beautiful. There was cotton candy and pop corns stands, there was a huge tent in the middle and foods laid out in the heated trays, there was a mini bar and a DJ.

"Uh." I said looking at Oliver, who was wearing a black T-shirt and blue jeans, his hair a little messy, yet still looking perfect on him, he was beaming proudly beside me.

"How do you like it?" He asked me looking excited and I did not want to break it to him that this is not the picnic I had in mind or anyone's mind.There were servers in positions. There was also few mini games set-up.

"It's fancy." I said cheering awkwardly and his smile died down and he looked at me.

"Excessive?"

"Yea, a little too much." I said.

He frowned. "Grayson and I have never had a picnic before, we watched in the movie that people sit on the blankets."

"Or picnic tables?"

"There is tables." He said pointing to the large tent.

"That too." I said lying.

"Wow, what is this." Stacy said walking from the glass door in a summer dress, sandals and shades. "Did I come to the right house?"

"Hey." I said to Stacy and give her a warning look as to not make Oliver feel upset about this.

"This is way more awesome than I thought." She said sincerely and I saw Oliver's smile.

She bumped her hips with me and winked before walking down the stairs and to the party. Mind you, we are having a fancy party in the afternoon. It is 12 pm.

Grayson walked in with Mia and Caitlin and Caitlin give an awkward laugh and said, "so fancy." And give two thumbs up to Oliver who smiled back with an appreciative looks.

Dylan and Emilia walked in, Dylan wore a polo t-shirt and khaki pants while his wife wore a beautiful pink summer dress, Emilia and I encounter once in a while in office, due to the office being large and spacious, it is very rare that we encounter someone. Her hair neatly in a bob cut like always. She carried herself with grace and confidence.

"Mr. Lee." Dylan said coming forward for a handshake.

"Oliver." He corrected Dylan. "My girlfriend says you are family to her, so please call me Oliver."

Dylan chuckled, "who would have believed that you guys fought in the office couple days back?"

"Oliver." Emilia said apologizing. "Please don't mind my husband, sometime his jokes gets carried away."

"No worry.. what would you like me to call you?" Oliver asked politely.

"Emilia." She answered. "You are so understanding."

"I can take some jokes." He said making her feel at ease.

"You have a really beautiful house." Dylan said.

"All thanks to my beautiful girlfriend. She helped me to design this place." He said proudly.

"Before the break up?" Dylan asked and Emilia nudged him and Oliver nodded his head and smile.

"Yes, a year and six months back."

"That was way too long." Emilia said looking at me with sad eyes.

"We are all good now, we took our break and we are ready to make this work again, we were on and off for sometime, but we are mature and more settled."

I nodded my head in agreement. "Part of it is also because of me." I said. "Well, mostly." I corrected.

Before they could have answered someone interrupted us.

"Buddy!" Kingsley walked in through the glass door wearing a Tommy's shirt and black jeans, his shades blocking the view of his eyes.

"There we go again." Oliver muttered and sarcastically remarked. "I thought you were those people who ditch at the end."

"How can I? My favourite boy called me and I don't come?"

"Let's not be too sweet." Oliver said rolling his eyes.

Jason walked out, wearing a light blue t shirt and shorts. He put on his shades and greeted us with a nod. He walked to the balcony and screamed. "let the party begins!!"

And we all cheered as champagne bottles was opened. "It feels like we are celebrating something." I told Oliver as we both clink glasses.

"We are." He said and I give him a questioning look. "To us."

And I laughed at his cheesiness. "Make sure you keep all the evening free this week, we are going on dates for every single day because I said so."

"And what if I don't?" I challenge him.

"Then you are asking for trouble." He said as he took my glass and put it on the table closes to us and I give him a questioning look and the next thing I know he was tickling me. I laughed and tried to move away from him, but failed miserably. He wrapped his arms around my waist and spin me around and I giggled at him.

We were in our own little world, the foods was absolutely amazing, fresh barbecues, foods, drinks and games that everyone was busy. The party seemed like it was meant for hundred people with all the excessive foods and drinks and I looked at Oliver and asked, "Did you invite more people?"

"Yea." He said, surprising me.

"Who is it?"

"Liana." I heard Lucas's voice and I quickly turned my head to see my family which included my very close cousins that I adored standing near the balcony.

"No way!" I said to Oliver in disbelief.

"Only for you, baby." He said and I threw my arms around his neck and give him a quick kiss

"This is so beautiful." I said seeing everyone walking down the stairs. "When?"

"They reached last night and was staying in the hotel that I bought last year. They will be here for sometime, but like I said keep your evening free for me."

I laughed and kissed him again, "Always."

He smiled and looked at my family with a nervous look.

"They will love you." I assure him. "Just like I do."

"I hope so." He said as the hand that we are holding, tensed up seeing my family right in front of us.
