　　Mom asked me to pack the food in the basket as she herself remained busy filling up the water bottles. I kept the food in the basket and looked up when Zachary's mom walked into the kitchen humming a song. She wore an orange summer dress and a fedora. She looked extremely happy as she walked in humming and wiggling her eyebrows at my direction.


　　"You look happy Julia," mom asked and she nodded.

　　"Of course! I am really happy today because we are going on a family picnic after a long time. I just can't express my happiness," she clapped her hands and walked up to me inspecting my basket.

　　"Oh, and don't forget to take those blueberry jam too. I love them in my sandwiches," she exclaimed and I nodded smiling at her. I walked to the kitchen cabinet and brought out the jam bottle and kept it inside the basket.


　　"I am also going out for a picnic after a long time," my mother told her and she looked back at her.

　　"Really?" Zachary's mother asked and she nodded.


　　"Well, I bet you this will be the most happiest and memorable day in our life Jessica," she said and I looked at both of them.

　　"When have you both started calling each other using your names?" I asked and they looked at each other and then back at me.

　　"Last night," both of them said in unison.

　　"Morning," Kiara walked in and walked to the fridge and pulled out a bottle of fresh juice and gulped it.

　　"What happened to you? What are those dark circle under your eyes? Did you not sleep well yesterday night?" Zachary's mom asked Kiara and I turned to look at her to find dark circles under eyes which was quite unusual.

　　"What happened to your beauty sleep?" I laughed at her which made her roll her eyes at him.

　　"Some jerk kept on calling on my number disturbing me until I switched my phone off," she said and stifled a yawn.

　　"Must be from one of those lovers of yours," I winked at her and she glared at me.

　　"It's nothing like that!" she said from under her breath.

　　"Sure!" I mocked her and turned around packing my stuff. It was true though, Kiara had lots of fan followers who constantly try to woo and get her her as their girlfriend. And who wouldn't? Undoubtedly Kiara was beautiful, talented and she belonged from a rich high-class sophisticated family. One thing about her was unlike me, she spoke of her mind. She did whatever she wished and liked and the only things that could ever scare her apart from ghosts is a gun.

　　She has a tragedy with a gun in her past which made her so afraid of guns. It's like a phobia to her. She can't be in the same room with a gun and I have already told about it to Zachary to make sure that he doesn't pull his stupid gun out else I will kill him using his own gun.

　　Speaking of Zachary, we are still not on talking terms. How can I talk to him when I know that Loana is again coming today to join us and again I would have witness them getting comfortable and cozying up to with each other. I sighed when I finished with my packing.

　　"Are we all ready to leave?" mom asked all of a sudden jumping like a kid excited.

　　"No," I heard Kiara mutter under her breath and I glared at her.

　　"Yes," we all said in unison and I picked up the baskets as we walked out of the kitchen towards the front door.

　　"Give it to me," Zachary said as he forwarded his hand asking me to hand him over the food basket. Instead of giving it to him I walked past him and kept it in the hood of his car by myself. When I looked back at him, he squinted his eyes at me and closed the hood all the while looking my way.

　　"Dad can we-" before I could ask Gale if me and Kiara could come with Zachary butted in "Go and sit in the front passenger seat," he commanded.

　　"No," I whispered yelled at him. Thankfully no one was looking our way or it would have been way too awkward to handle because they would have started asking us question about our behavior if we had a fight or something and I knew that like me, Zachary too had no interest of answering them anything about our relationship problem.

　　Relationship problem?

　　"Go by our own wish else I will have to use another method," he whispered back through gritted teeth and Kiara nudged me hard by her elbow.

　　"Ow! What?" I hissed at her.

　　"Stop being so stubborn and sit in the front with him," she hissed back at me.

　　"No, I won't!" I argued.

　　"Yes, you will!" and the next moment she pushed me towards the front and opened the door and shoved me in.

　　"Cheater! You traitor! Whose side are you taking?" I crossed my arms over my chest and glared at her.

　　"Of course I am on your side and that is why I want to see you happy. How will you be happy? With him!" she answered her own question and shoved the door on my face. I shook my head at her and she mocked me by showing me her tongue from the outside to which I just rolled my eyes.
