Jared asked me to go on a picnic dinner date with him Friday night. We had been on a few group dates together and this sounded like fun, so I said yes. All day Friday I had butterflies in my stomach anticipating the evening.
Jared picked me up, we drove to the base of the mountain and then he told me we were going to hike to a secluded spot he knew of for our picnic. I got a little weird feeling in my chest but passed it off as being excitement.
We began the hike. About two thirds of the way up the trail we came upon a group of people and I recognized one of the guys so I stopped to talk to him for a minute. Jared stood impatiently to the side. My friend asked where we were going and I explained about the picnic. He looked at Jared and then turned to me and quietly said "be careful."
Jared and I reached our destination. We spread our blanket on a large boulder outcropped from the mountain that had a flat top. We sat to enjoy the view of the valley below before beginning our meal. The sky was just darkening and the first few stars twinkled down on us. The moonlight was becoming the brightest in the sky. Jared leaned in and kissed me. The surprise and pleasure banished thoughts of the picnic dinner waiting to be unpacked.
My stomach growled and I started to giggle, breaking the spell. To my dismay, Jared did not giggle but looked annoyed. I smiled and reached for the picnic basket. When I opened it, there is nothing inside. I turned, confused to look at Jared. He just stared back with a menacing smirk....
