things with him and feel all those things with him. But she’s still there, niggling in the back of my mind. Telling me that they ‘fucked’ before he kissed me and made me fall for him. It made me feel physically sick to think of it in that way. I push that thought out of my head.
I am on a date with Luke. One of the most sought after boys in school. I smiled at my thoughts and looked down at my hands. He still has his hand on mine as we look through the diner menu. I immediately feel relaxed. We are finally going to be able to talk. Just for the sheer hell of it. I want to become best friends with him, I want him to be the only person in my life that I can rely on, that will always catch me when I fall.
“What are you thinking?” He asks and tilted his head to the side. He looks adorable and ridiculously sexy. As always.
“Um.... Just how lucky I feel to be here right now. Luke, there are many things we need to talk about. I mean, I haven’t had an easy couple of years - as I’m sure you are well aware of, but I don’t want to burden you, or drive you away. You know a lot about me already and I’m sure that must scare you. It scares me.” He shakes his head and his eyes look deep into mine.
“Ella, honestly, you seem to be okay to me right now, and in this moment, that’s all I care about. I want to help you. We need to build on this relationship, I'm going to learn your flaws, and you’re going to learn mine. That's just the way it works.” His thumb strokes along my knuckles, such a welcome gesture that makes me feel secure.
“But I’m so high maintenance right now, I don’t even know what I’m doing half of the time.” I protest.
“That’s fine, Ella. I want you-” We’re interrupted by a waitress coming for our order.
“Mind if I order for you?” Luke says, smiling.
“No, that’s fine, go for it.” I wink at him.
“Can we get a starter of nachos to share please, then for mains – 2 two cheeseburgers with sweet potato fries and 2 two thick vanilla shakes.”
“Yeah, sure guys, anything else?” She beams at us.
“No, that’s fine, Hillary, thank you.” Ooh, first name basis. He smiles at her and I swear that I see her knees give way beneath her. Hands off missy. I give her a stare and squint my eyes as I watch her beautifully shaped body walk away.
“Ella, stop it.” Luke starts to laugh hard.
“What?” I shrug and give him a smile.
“Who knew you were a green eyed beauty, huh?” He asks with a smile that makes me melt inside and outside. I just want to kiss his beautifully shaped mouth. I bite down on my lip and watch him smile at me.
“What?” He asks as he stops my hand from fiddling with a napkin.
“Nothing.” I murmur.
“No, tell me, Ella.” He orders and the words come from my mouth before I could stop them.
“I was just thinking that you are sexy.” I shrug and he pulls my chin so my lip comes free from my teeth.
He and I both laugh with such a beautiful demeanor and it feels so perfect. “Oh, and as you ordered for me - it sounds mouth-watering, but if my burger has tomato on it I’m throwing it at you. Tomato is the devil, it’s disgusting.” I pull a sour face and he laughs at me. Our milkshakes arrive and they are to die for. The creaminess and texture is just beautiful.
“Luke, these are amazing.” I let out an appreciative groan as I suck on my straw.
“Where did you find this place?”
“It’s family run, I come here with the guys sometimes and my family. It’s one of my favorite places.”
Our nachos arrive and we chat and laugh throughout dinner. He tells me secrets about some of the boys at school who have always claimed they are masters of sex when secretly they have no idea. He tells me about
