James shook the tartan patterned blanket, letting it fall flat on the grassy area. It was a cool night, around 24 degrees Celsius - just the right temperature for a picnic, especially as the sun was setting gently in the background, giving the grass a yellowy hue. After being caught by the site, he looked down at his watch and cursed. Keely would be there soon, and James wasn't even set up. Smoothing out the blanket, he placed some plates on to it and some food type objects. Getting two wine glasses out, he placed a bottle of non-alcoholic wine down next to the two glasses.
Looking down on the scene before him, James smiled. Almost perfect.. The one thing it needed was Keely. Leaning into the basket he'd kept all the food stuffs in, he felt the ice-cube that was in there making sure it was still cold - on it, was a Toblerone cheesecake that his Mum had made. His Mum always made the best cheesecakes, and he hadn't been able to resist getting her to make him one for tonight. She'd been curious about why, and when he'd told her, she became ecstatic, curious to meet the girl who he still shivered with delight at being able to call her his 'girlfriend'.

Keely arrived at the park, she was a little nervous about tonight, but immensely excited as well. Hopping out of the car and started making her way towards where James had set everything up. She smiled to herself, it looked like he had put a lot of effort into everything for tonight. Finally reaching him, she stopped at the side of the blanket and smiled. "Hey," she said, for some reason feeling a little shy all of a sudden, which wasn't normal for her.

James turned and saw Keely with a half bashful, half extraordinarily happy smile on this face. "Hey," he said softly in return. He was lost for what to say, and really didn't know what to do. I mean, this was his first first date all over again. The anxious, what-do-we-do-now moments.. And he really didn't know.. Well, rather, really couldn't think of what to do. He motioned towards the blanket, offering her a 'seat'.
Through all this, his smile never once faltered.. And, going from how James felt at the moment, the smile wouldn't leave for a good few days until it finally sunk in.

Still smiling, Keely went to sit down on the rug when James motioned her towards it. She sat with her legs curled to one side, shifting slightly until she felt more comfortable, a smile still on her face. She wracked her brain for something to say to break the silence that was there but it was to no avail, everything seemed so new to her for some reason. ooc: Btw, Tobelerone cheesecake ftw + to Llamy xDDD

James smiled and sat down next to her, unsure of what to do first, but curling an arm around her waist and pulling her closer towards him so they were almost spooning, in a sitting-up position. Resting a chin on her shoulder, he smiled.
"I have wanted to cuddle you for a while.." he said, gently laying his hands on her 'bump'.

"Mm, so have I..." Keely replied. She rest her arms on top of James', fingers slightly curled through his, leaning her the side of her head gently against his and breathed a sigh of contentment. She was really happy, and everything just seemed so right.

Nestling into her shoulder and neck, James inhaled. She was wearing a fruity scent and it suited her to a tee. Smiling, he squeezed her gently then grabbed for a small piece of sandwich, offering it to her.
Oh yes, it didn't get much more clichèd than it already was.

The warm squeeze James gave her managed to send tingles up Keely's spine, and she accepted the sandwich he offered her with a soft smile, green eyes watching him with bright interest.
