Amy chuckled. “This is nice.”
The first roll of thunder erupted.
Diego pretended not to hear it.
Amy was smiling at him, while there was fire shooting out of Killian’s eyes, or at least there would be if he turned to look at him.
“Have a strawberry,” he said. Most of his words were drowned out by another wave of thunder. Around him, families were rushing in packing up, but he didn’t move.
“Diego, you didn’t check, did you?” Killian asked.
“I don’t hear anything.”
The rain opened up, pouring down around them.
“I don’t feel anything.”
Amy burst out laughing, but Diego wasn’t moving anywhere. He was the one who’d prepared the picnic.
“For fuck’s sake, Diego, you had to check the weather.”
“I don’t allow a bunch of clouds or rain to tell me what to do. We’re finally here. We’ve got sandwiches. There is nothing going on around us. We’re fine. Now eat up and stop ruining this.” He removed his jacket and placed it over Amy’s shoulders. The food was washed out within seconds, the tree offering no protection. After a few minutes, the ground was way too soggy, and Diego had to admit defeat. Even as Amy laughed and Killian cursed, Diego decided to brush off the feeling of failure. They’d gone on a picnic at least, and Amy was having a good time. She kept sliding in the mud, and as he helped her up, he ended up on his ass, covered in dirt.
Killian also ended up doing the same.
It didn’t take long for them all to be soaking wet, dirty, but laughing. For Diego, he considered it a job well done. They were all laughing, and he didn’t see a problem with how they had gotten to it.
Walking back home, they entered Amy’s house, and they all stripped down.
“I absolutely loved today,” she said, gripping the back of his neck and pressing kisses to his lips. “Loved it.”
“Hey, what about me? I’m all wet too,” Killian asked.
“You complained.”
“I still loved it,” Killian said. “I’m sorry, Diego, for being pissed about the washout.”
“Come on,” Amy said. “Picnics can be so boring.”
“You don’t like picnics?” Killian asked.
“I do, and I don’t. They’re all the same. You know, people gathered around. You always have to be respectful of people’s privacy. You can’t be too loud. This one though, this one was amazing, and I loved every second of it.” She went onto her toes and kissed each of them in turn. “Thank you for making me realize picnics can be fun with the right people.”
She took their clothes and left.
“She is the best woman,” Diego said.
“I know exactly what you mean. I don’t know how we got so lucky.”
“But we did.”
Still, no declarations of love, but he was a patient guy.
He hoped he was…
