Leighton laughed, not trying to deny it. "Hmm, you said it, not me."
I shook my head at her. She didn't lie when she said today was a good day for a picnic. The weather was nice, and the sun glowed. Several people were out at the park today. Young boys were throwing a football back and forth with each other, while parents watched from the playground area with their younger children. Small squirrels ran up and down the tree and played with each other. The sounds of people talking and laughter were heard all around me. I guess everyone wanted to enjoy the weather today.
"Were you keeping the furniture in your home for your new house, or were you buying all new things?" Leighton asked, pulling things out of the picnic basket.
Before we left, we were in the kitchen, packing the food together and ensuring we had everything we wanted before heading to the store to buy a few more items.
I shrugged. "I'm not too sure. A part of me wants to start fresh since it's a new home, but I built some of the things I have in my apartment with my own hands."
She handed me a turkey sandwich and pulled out a ham one for herself.
"I can understand that. You should do both. That's what I did when I bought my house three years ago. I stayed in an apartment until I said I wanted a house of my own. I took some things from my apartment."
"That's what I'm going to do. But I know I need to start looking for new things to add to my house. I'm claiming that I'll settle on something soon."
She beamed. "There you go. That's the spirit."
We shared a laugh. I opened my sandwich and took a bite. I glanced over at her, seeing a small smile on her face.
"You have a glow, baby. I tore it down like that."
Before we got our day started, we took a shower and ended up having sex in the bathroom on the counter. I had to have her, and I wasted no time getting her either.
Lee threw her head back and laughed. "Please stop. There you go with the foolery."
I frowned. "So, I didn't?"
She waved me off. "You did, but still, don't be conceited."
I scoffed. "The way you were hollering my name, I got to be. It's a wonder your neighbors didn't call the police on me. I'm sure they know my name by now."
She giggled as tears rolled down her face. "I'm not doing this with you right now."
I grunted, taking another bite out of the sandwich. I loved making Leighton smile or laugh. The brightness that was always on her face when she was with me, and I wanted her to keep it.
"You know you enjoy my teasing. You'd better act like you know." I sent her a wink and polished off the rest of the sandwich. I then reached into the basket and pulled out a bag of Lays barbecue chips.
"Whatever. You just march to your own beat."
"You damn right. That's what I'm known to do. I'm damned sure not about to follow anyone else. Would you?"
She frowned, narrowing her eyes at me. "Hell no."
"Okay then. What makes you think I want to?"
I was met with silence as Lee continued to eat her sandwich with her slow-eating ass.
After we were finished eating, I laid my head on her lap as her fingertips moved lazily across my head. It felt good and would help me fall asleep. Lee's touches alone did something to me. Damn, I hoped like hell we could stay like this forever. It seemed too good to be true, but I knew sometimes looks could be deceiving. For now, I only wanted to be happy with no problems.
"Are you trying to put me to sleep?" I asked her, followed by a yawn.
She grinned down at me and shook her head. "No. This is peaceful. You know?"
I nodded. "It is, but you're putting me to sleep rubbing my head like that."
She chuckled. "Big ol' baby."
I smiled. "I'm your baby."
