Page 28 of Wrong Number, Right Unicorn

“Oh, I like the sound of that.”

He asked me to stay put and ran and grabbed a towel for me, along with his sweatshirt and a pair of his pajama pants. I liked wearing his clothes, especially his sweatshirts. They felt like a hug from him and always smelled so freaking good. I wasn’t sure what it was about Davien that had him smelling so fantastic. I used his soap and shampoo when I stayed over, and I never smelled that good.

It didn’t take long for us to move the couch out of the way and spread a blanket on the floor. This was going to be a true indoor picnic. He’d already made the food—the storm had caught even the weather people by surprise, a sudden shift in direction, and he didn’t know we’d have to shift gears until it was done. I was glad because everything looked freaking delicious.

We set up the food and flicked through the streaming services to find something to watch. If all went well, we wouldn’t lose the internet or power. If we did, I was pretty sure we could find something else to occupy our time—something a whole lot sexier than the horror movies we were currently browsing. Maybe losing power was the best option.

“I’m not feeling any of these,” he said.

“Are you set on horror?” I’d suggested horror randomly. I wasn’t close to married to the idea.

“No, we could do rom-com or dystopia.” He flicked back to the main menu. “Any ideas?”

“Yeah... there was a movie I used to watch as a kid. I think it was called Legend.”

“Legend?”

“Yeah. It might sound silly, but I used to watch it with my Grams. There was a unicorn in it, and Tom Cruise. I liked it.” I only half remembered the plot. I was there for the unicorn.

“We could watch that.” He didn’t sound too enthusiastic.

“Are you sure? I don’t mind picking out something else if you don’t like it.”

“Yeah, I’m sure. I’m just trying to pinpoint if I’ve seen it before.”

After ten minutes of searching, we discovered it wasn’t available on any of the streaming services, so we ended up watching The Princess Bride instead. Because, honestly, it’s always a good time to watch The Princess Bride.

The lightning was now close enough that the boom from the thunder hit at the same time the room lit up, but we didn’t care. We were inside, snuggled together, eating crustless sandwiches cut into triangles and fruit salad. He’d really taken the time to make the picnic fancy.

We watched the movie, the food long gone, and then somewhere along the line, watching the movie became acting out the movie. Both of us had seen it way too many times. At first it was justsaying the words, but then it turned into full-on acting, both of us bouncing around the room taking on different characters.

We laughed and laughed. It was a carefree kind of fun I hadn’t had in years. When the movie was over, we found another one that we both knew and did the same.

“This is the best picnic I have ever had,” I said, kissing his cheek and settling my head on his shoulder as the credits rolled. “You outdid yourself. I’m not sure you’ll ever be able to plan a date as fabulous as this one.”

“I don’t know if it’s possible, but I fully intend to try.”

I smiled, feeling completely content in the moment. “I know you’ll succeed. Every day I spend with you is better than the day before, even if we only share a cup of coffee.”

“I can think of something more fun to share.”

“Oh?” I turned to face him. “What is that, Davien?”

“My bed.”

He didn’t have to offer twice.

Davien

“Guess what today is?”

I opened my eyes to find Errol leaning over me and grinning.

“Too early to be awake on a weekend day?”

He nudged me. “No silly. It’s fruit day.”
