"Two more lefts, then a right," She said into his ear on the drive, knowing her instructions would take them right to a nice but not heavily used park.
"Two more lefts, then a right," She said into his ear on the drive, knowing her instructions would take them right to a nice but not heavily used park.
He followed her directions until they reached the park. He shut off the motorcycle and looked around the park. "It's nice. Haven't been here before."
Jynna smiled and took off the helmet, "It gets better back by the open space, we have a picnic table set up back there for this exact purpose." She hopped off the bike and offered him her hand, smiling, "Let's get going Prince."
He got off as well, grabbing her hand and tugging her close. "After you, Princess," he said with a smile down at her. He was looking forward to spending all day with Jynna, and he was curious to see someplace that she liked.
She glanced up at him and started tugging him towards the open area, which was slightly visible through a patch of woods. Her eyes sparkled with excitement in showing him one of her favorite places, "This is the best when it's at sunset or later at night, I wish I could show you then, but this works too."
"We could just stay here until sunset," he murmured, looking down at her face. She looked so happy and excited, and it brought a smile to his face as he gazed at her.
"We could, if you wanted to, it really is amazing out here then," She replied, still pulling him towards the picnic table, "Though you might have to deal with me whining about being hungry after a while."
"I'm pretty sure I can handle you just fine, " he said with a wink. "And I think some quiet time out here, with just you, sounds ideal to me."
She nodded and smiled, "Time out here with you sounds good, though I don't think you'll be able to handle me, I can be very whiny."
"As can I, Princess." He tugged her close and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "I've been often compared to a three-year-old."
She led him to the empty space, a grassy area surrounded by trees with a small lake in the center. "I've been compared to a four-year-old, so I think we're about even," She said, smiling as she motioned to the area, "Welcome to the Lake as we call it."
He looked around the area, imagining Jynna hanging out here with friends. He smiled slightly at the image–especially of the one he got of her diving into the lake for a swim.
“I’ll go pull the picnic table out of it’s hiding spot quick, you choose where you want me to put it.” She said, stepping away from him to go grab the table from it’s hiding spot in the trees.
He raised a brow at her demand, but looked around for the best spot to put the table. "Ah, how about under those trees next to the lake?" he said, pointing where he was talking about. "Shade and easy access to the lake."
She nodded and smiled, "Sounds good." Tossing a few branches off the previously hidden table, she flipped it onto its side and started the slightly awkward process of pulling and rolling the table to where he had said.
He watched her with amusement, crossing his arms and leaning against a tree. "Need any help, Princess?"
"Nope," She said, tugging the table a little closer to the spot he had pointed to, "I'm almost always on table duty when we come here, so I should be good."
"Oh, so you get stuck doing the dirty work too?" he asked, still amused.
Jynna rolled her eyes and laughed lightly, "I'd rather to this than be on alcohol or food duty." After another few minutes of tugging and pushing she got the table into place and pushed it off its side, "There Prince, anything else you want me to bring over before I sit down?"
"Nope," he said, popping the P. He pushed off the tree and came up behind her, wrapping his arms around her shoulders and resting his chin on the top of her head in a backwards hug. She probably thought him weird for finding any and every chance to hold her, but he didn't care.
Her face flushed slightly but she leaned back against him, "Can I sit down at least if you're going to hug me?" She asked with a small smile, hooking her arms around his lower back lightly.
"Hmmmmm," he hummed, purposefully not giving a straight answer.
"I take that as a yes? Unless you're going to hold me upright and let me lean on you?" She started to unhook her arms from around him and spin slightly so she could sit down, liking the hug but also wanting to sit down.
He sighed dramatically and let go of her. "I suppose…" But he gave her a crooked smile to show that he was kidding.
She smiled back and sat down, patting the bench next to her so he would sit while thinking about what to do. "So, what do you want to do right now? We have until sunset to stay here if you want to be here that long, I could invite some of my friends over as well if you want."
