*Hayden's POV*
"Do I have to take you home?" Aaron asks as we leave Luna's.
"How else am I gunna get back?"
"No, I mean do I have to take you back right now?"
"Oh. I guess not since it's not very late yet."
"Great."
"Where are we going then?"
"You'll see."
We drive for maybe half an hour, and we end up at a lake.
"This is unexpected."
"I like surprising people."
"So what are we gunna do?"
"Have a picnic."
"We just ate. I'm full."
"Not right now. In a few hours."
"I can't stay here all night. My parents--"
"Agreed to this." He cuts me off.
I gape.
"What?"
"I asked them."
"You asked them if you could stay out with me until like 2am."
He nods.
"And they said yes?"
He nods again.
"What spell did you put on them?" I only half joke.
He smiles.
"Your parents love me."
"Already?"
"What can I say? I'm a charmer."
"And modest about it."
"Of course."
"They must like you a lot if they're letting me stay out with you this late."
"Well it is Friday."
"Still."
He goes to the trunk of his car and pulls out a plaid blanket, along with a basket.
Classy.
We set up and sit down on the blanket.
"Thank you." I say softly.
"For what?"
"For tonight. It's been amazing so far."
"Only the best for you."
"Stop it."
"Stop what?"
"Acting like I'm the best thing in the world. I'm not."
"Maybe you are. To me."
