"I know a place which is best for a picnic, trust me," I said, grabbing the lunch I had made and stuffed in a medium-sized grocery bag at home.

"Are you sure the church won't mind us using their parking lot?" John asked as he glanced toward the church going people who had been chatting by the front walk.

"Don't worry, The Pastor and I are quite friends," I assured him and gave a cheeky grin as I slung the blanket over my right shoulder. I turned around to face the Pastor and waved. He seemed somewhat relieved seeing the black suited man and his wife waved back with a smile on their faces.

"See, there are no issues at all." I looked at him and stared into his eyes for a moment before handing him the bag of food. I stepped closer to him, and standing on tiptoe, I gave him a quick kiss.

"Come on," I said as I grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the woods.

It didn't take us long to arrive at the old graveyard. We walked past it, down a little hill and entered a grassy valley. Then we jumped the tiny stream and followed it uphill to the verge of the forest. We walked past moss-covered boulders and ventured deeper into the woods.

"Wow, Stacey! These sandwiches are so yummy!" he announced.

"Oh, really?" I smiled. "Say thanks to these beautiful hands."

John playfully sat on his knees and held my hands in his.

"Thank you so much for making such delicious lunch," he said in a royale manner and kissed both of my hands.

"Don't you think my lips are delicious too?" I chuckled.
