"We deserve to be happy, Randell," she said gently, while she smiled sweetly towards Lito as she called him Randell.
Lito blinks multiple times, wondering if he heard her wrong as the name echoes inside his head.
He removes the corndog that Nida shoved into his mouth, then swallows his saliva before speaking.
"H-how did you know?" Lito asked while stammering.
Nida chuckled at his reaction, then pointed one by one to Lito's body as she spoke.
"Shoulder-length golden hair, a pretty face, a small built body, slender fingers, rosy cheeks, large eyes, even your outfit. It's all based on the ideal type of man that I told you about ten years ago." She said it with a smile.
Ten years ago, when they were still happily dating together, they came up with a topic that they ended up sharing: what their ideal type would look like. Randell literally transformed into a person with all the characteristics she shared ten years ago.
She never expected that Randell would be this naive and stupid. But at the same time, she finds this part of him adorable.
"I am sorry." He starts his chant of "I'm sorry" again.
"Do you think this appearance is still my type? A decade has passed since then. The girls probably didn't sit near you because you looked out of date. " Nida now loudly laughs at Randell.
She was teasing him, but he didn't feel bad at all. He just watched her smiling face.
He then looked around to see if anyone else could see them. Once, he assured himself that no one would see him. He released his disguised form and returned to his original form, which is larger and has a bigger build than pretty-faced Lito.
His clothes stretched out, but they didn't rip; his trim build was outlined by the super-fit clothes that made Nida laugh even harder.
"Hahaha! You look funny. "
Randell just awkwardly smiled and pulled down his polo because it was revealing his belly.
He looked at his brighter mood, and he took the candy jar that they bought and started acting like a bear eating honey in a jar.
"I am actually imitating Winnie the Pooh." He started to joke around as well.
"Hahahaha What are you doing? Winnie the Pooh will be offended! He doesn't look like that." She disagreed with his imitation, but she laughed loudly anyway.
"How about Johnny Bravo?" He stood up and posed like Johnny Bravo.
"Haha! I thought Toto was the only one who could imitate him. You win! Haha." She laughed while holding her tummy as it ached from excessive laughing.
Randell was enjoying her loud laugh as he had missed it for a long time, but he immediately stopped acting funny once Nida pulled out her phone.
"No, no, no," he said as he waved his hand towards Nida's phone.
"Come on! Let's take a photo!" She teasingly said as she snapped images of his funny appearance.
She then grabbed his shoulder and let him sit on her side as she lifted her hand that was holding the phone.
"Come closer, we need to capture both the background and your funny appearance. "
She playfully said as she tried to fit their faces to the camera screen with the tree as their background.
"S M I L E," she said, as they both smiled for the camera.
Click!
"Another!"
Click!
"Haha, you really look funny!"
Click!
"Last one."
Click!
Hehe hehe
Without saying anything else, they giggled at one another after taking a lot of photos together.
They really looked happy together, and they didn't notice that the two of them were too close to each other because they were trying to fit into the camera screen.
Their shoulders are still stuck to each other as they turn their heads towards one another at the same time.
blush!
Like a light bulb that was switched on, their cheeks instantly turned red as they could feel each other's breath.
They could feel each other's warmth by staring into each other's eyes.
Their smiles slowly faded away, and the pounding of their hearts began to send their minds into chaos.
Nida then suddenly stood up and moved out of the picnic mat.
"What's wrong?" he awkwardly asked.
"I saw some clothes at the stall. I will buy them for you. Please wait here." Nida didn't wait for him to respond and ran away.
Randell just stared at the empty space where Nida disappeared.
Slap!
Randell roughly slapped his cheeks, trying to check if this was a dream.
Then his expression brightens when he confirms that this is reality.
Their relationship wasn't fixed at all, but he feels like he is on cloud nine and that he at least had a good time with her.
He impatiently waits for Nida to return while he plays with the food that was scattered on the picnic mat.
"Ranz!"
Randell's ears twitched the moment he heard his nickname.
"Am I dreaming?" he said again to himself, as he could not believe what he was experiencing at the moment.
He then watched as Nida walked elegantly back to him.
"I hope this will last forever," he wished, since it was the first time in a decade he had become happy.
"The stalls have a lot of clothes to sell." She said this while acting hesitant about the words she had to say as she hid the clothes on her back.
"Why? Do their clothes look worse than what I am wearing now? "
He stood up and approached her, but Nida was avoiding his gaze.
He peered at the clothes and grabbed them from her hand.
He easily took it from her and unfolded the clothes too.
"She's mine? He's mine?"
He read the words written on the T-shirt. And after the words, a cupid arrow is pointed at the side.
"Everything that is being sold here is all for couples. So that's the best. Everything is too cheesy and ridiculous. So just wear that. It doesn't matter anyway, since you the only one who will get dressed. I just can't buy one shirt since this is being sold by two's."
"No. You need to be layered with clothes as well." Randell opened the T-shirt with "He's mine" written on it and forced Nida to wear it by putting it on her head forcibly.
"Why wear an extremely fitted dress that even your ribs can be traced from it?"
Nida looked down at her bodycon dress that was literally outlining her alluring body.
"My ribs will be hidden because of this." Nida bounces her breasts with her hand to show off how healthy her chest is.
Randell blushed even more and made her wear the t-shirt fully.
Nida just smiled, watching him blush and panic, but soon she had the same reaction once Randell started to take off all of his upper clothes.
"W-why are you undressing here!" She covered him by spreading her arms to the side and standing in front of him.
"We are in a public place!"
"It's okay." He said as he struggled to undress. "You have superior hearing as well. The couple on the west side have been moaning since a while ago. I bet they are more naked than me." he said, while trying to focus more on removing his upper clothes.
"J-Just hurry up!" Nida shouted as she worked hard to cover for him.
She is aware of the other couples doing heavenly under the trees, but she tries her best to ignore them.
It took a while for him to remove his clothes because of the super stretch and fitted clothes that made it harder to take off.
That's how Nida gets her time to stare and admire his well-built body.
She clenched her fist and bit her own lips, preventing herself from touching someone else's body without permission.
A few minutes later, two of them are done wearing matching clothes. Nida then feels proud of herself that she managed to hold herself to not touch Randell's abs.
"We really look like a couple now," she commented while looking at their adorable couple shirt. "Seems like we fit well now in this park."
She feels a different kind of ecstasy. But the source of it is something she can't know well.
"Can we have a picture?"
It was now Randell who took out his phone, asking for a photo together.
Though he looked awkward asking for a photo, he really wanted to take one since it is a rare moment that they are wearing a couple shirt. He badly wants to dream about their relationship more.
He was about to hide his phone again because Nida was just staring at him again, but she suddenly took the phone out of his hand and approached a stranger to ask for a photo.
"If we are taking this one, let's do this properly."
She said this as she began to smile again.
She moved closer to him, and that made him stiffen in his body.
"Come on, smile."
She said this as the stranger prepared to capture them in a photo with the warm light of the trees in the background.
The two fixed their eyes on the camera.
However he turned his gaze towards her at the same time the stranger pressed the shutter button because of Nida's words.
"Want to date again?" she asked him.
