"Since the others weren't here for the mean time, let's play a game." Brian suggested and they nodded in agreement.

Cody, Kyle, Nathan were assigned to buy an additional food. They urged Brian to spill the name of the game.

"Let's play kiss, marry, kill." Theodore's eyes lit up. "That's a great game."

They were out here for the last few hours for their so called outdoor picnic. Elise was still feeling tormented of the fact that Alex Ford, her crush, is in love not with her but to somebody else. To her this is the worst outdoor picnic that occurred in her life.

"Why don't you go first ." Brian commanded and wiggled his eyebrows.

Natalie shifts her gaze to Alex for a brief seconds before she raises her right hand and wave a no-no sign. Due to her response the tension buildup in the area, Alex look down, Timothy rolled his eyes, Brian's mouth agape, Sana covered her mouth and Elise pursed her lips.

Brian cleared his throat, "I'll choose first." He frantically tapped his chin as he looked around.

"Kill Natalie..."

Sofia's pale cheeks turned pink. A shy smile was formed in her tinted lips.

As she assumes that Brian will say, "Marry, Sofia."

"Kiss Sofia and marry Elise." He looked at Elise with lust.

Sofia's smile turned into a blank one.

She was filled with resentment and jealousy but she managed not to let them show by plastering a SMILE.

"How about you, Elise?" He asked her, while keeping her gaze to her. "Kill .. Brian." She said and looked at Brian playfully. Brian pouted while looking at her sadly. "Kiss. Theodore." She said and Theodore's heart leaped, a smile formed in his lips. "Marry ..." She looked around and saw that Timothy and Alex were the only choices left. Alex smiled unconsciously and look at her with the anticipation in his eyes while Timothy was looking unbothered.

"Theodore." The guy who was aforementioned averted his gaze at her with his surprised eyes. Alex felt sad for unknown reason. He felt like a void, empty. He somehow felt a bit envy to Theodore. But why would he be?

Alex Ford's Point of View

February 03, 2019 that's the date when I first met her. The only girl that can make me crazy. The cliché feelings that can only be seen in movies came to life when I met her. I really really love her. I always try to imagine our future together. Where she is walking down the aisle and me standing beside the altar. Buy groceries together, cook and bake like a crazy couple. Making many babies as we can. Be a better parents for them by guiding and supporting them all the way. Buying rocking chairs and many more.

She was once a very clingy and caring to me. Until she became cold and distant towards me. I don't want to doubt her or something because I trust her.

But one thing is for sure, everything has changed.

She looks at me hesitantly before averting her gaze to Brian. She raises her hand and waves in disagreement. Maybe she doesn't want to play the game... I guess that reason makes sense, I hope it does.
