The Special Date

When Noah left Rayne and Julian's place he quickly made it back to his room. 

He took another look at the box, feeling very pleased with the items that Rayne picked out for him.

"I hope you like it, Ella. I can't wait to see you", he whispered, gliding his hands over the box.

Today was a special day for him and Ella. Her parents were kicking her out of their house so that they could get some 'quality alone time', which in return allowed him to spend a good portion of the day with Ella.

They had planned to meet up by the lake and take a walk through the surrounding forest area for a picnic today and he couldn't wait. 

"Why are you awake so early? The sun isn't even up yet", said Ian, groggily. He heard movement in the kitchen and went to check on what it was.

"Oh, my bad. I didn't realize it was still so early in the morning. Oh, I'll be out for a bit today", said Noah, looking at his brother with a guilty expression.
