Chapter 22: Where Are The Horses?
Reagan led us into the woods and I rode beside him in comfortable silence. Following after him as he led us farther into the woods. I wasn't sure what exactly he had planned in mind but I trust him and allowed him to lead, besides he had asked me nicely.
We rode till eventually we came across a clearing. The sound of waterfalls could be heard somewhere in the woods but what captured my attention was the sight of a blanket laid on the green grass and on top of it was on a picnic basket.
Dismounting from the horse, I approached the blanket, leaving Reagan to tend to the steeds. I sat down on the blanket, curious as to what is inside the basket, I opened it. The smell that wafted out from it filled my nostrils and I had to gasp in surprise as I began pulling the food out.
Pancakes, cheesecakes, strawberries, powdered doughnuts and a glass of orange fruit with the pulp. These were all my favorites! A smile broke out of me as I stared at Reagan who was silently watching me.
"How did you know all of these?" I asked with a laugh, "You even got me my favorite chocolates, I haven't had them in so long!" I said grabbing a box and popping one inside my mouth.
The taste of the chocolate exploded in my mouth and I couldn't resist the moan that slipped out of me. It had been so long since I had tasted chocolate. Marina claimed they were a luxury that were only meant to be had during important luxurious occasions and back in the castle, Madam Heidi made sure all the servants hid the chocolate from me because it makes the lady bloat.
Bjorn was the one was always quick to sneak in some chocolates for me and those were the only times I ever indulged in sweets. Smiling, I stared at Reagan who had now taken his seat beside me, he had a smirk on his face as he watched me.
"So they are that good huh?" Reagan said smiling at me.
I nodded my head at him, "They are." I said as I dropped the box on the blanket, "By the way, how did you know I loved all of this."
