Halloween Party // l.h

" Hey."

" Hi," I replied smiling and feeling nervous as we held eye contact.

" You look beautiful," His deep voice spoke softly. His lips moved slowly as he let the words out.

" Thanks," I managed a reply. My cheeks heated up, most likely showing an obvious blush.

" I'm not very good at being romantic so I hope pizza is alright," He said with a chuckle at the end, he scratched the back of his neck nervously. I remember us talking about pizza last night, I wonder if he remembers too, and that's why he chose it?

" Sounds amazing," I smiled assuring him that it truly does sound amazing right now. I'm actually very hungry, I haven't ate all morning. But it's not just the food that makes this date seem like something to look forward too, but just being with Luke.

I hope he doesn't ruin his chance, because I really like him and I'm not always so reluctant at forgiving.

I followed beside him, but also let him lead the way. We approached a black 4WD parked at the curb which I assume he is the owner of.

He opened the passenger door for me like a gentleman, I was surprised as I didn't expect for him to do that. I accepted the gesture anyway and smiled to myself as I sat in the car. Despite myself reaching to close the door, he shut it for me.

Luke rushed around to the drivers side, going in front of the car. He may of been un aware to the fact that I could see him clearly through the glass wind screen as he awkwardly jogged around to the opposite side of the vehicle. I chuckled at him as I sat alone in the leather upholstered car. He was quick and keen to sit beside me in the drivers seat and begin driving.

" So where's the pizza place?" I asked curiously as I tried to think of any decent pizza place.

" It's a surprise," He replied cheekily taking his eyes off the road for just a second to look at me. I smiled and chuckled, rolling my eyes at his mildly childish behavior.

We sat in silence for a moment, until I heard the song on the stereo change. I don't think this is a radio station considering I don't hear any annoying radio show hosts and this song is never on the radio. The song is I Miss You by blink-182.

I reached forward to turn the volume dial up, and Luke with his eyes on the road also went to do the same as me. Our hands crashed together and he looked away from the road in front of him to see my hand was unexpectedly reaching for the same place, then he looked at me, he smiled and we both laughed.

" Keep your eyes on the road please, you're going to kill us! I'll turn up the song," I said sounding harsh but smiling so he knew I was joking. He responded with a laugh and I increased the volume of the song. More songs continued to play after that one, like he had a playlist streaming from his phone.

He sang quietly to a few songs, too quiet for me to make out if he was any good or not. He told me last night how passionate he is about music, that he even loves to sing, but I like to sing as well, doesn't mean I'm good at it. Myself, I was too nervous to sing along to any of the music.

By the time we had arrived and parked out the front of an Italian pizzeria, I had decided that Luke has a very good music taste.

As we parked and I looked through the windows at the restaurant, I realized that he genuinely listened to me last night. This pizza place is one of those small family owned, wood fire oven, original recipes pizza places. I flash backed to when I told him that I love small family owned pizza places and he basically sexually moaned about how he loves pizza.

I opened my door and stepped out of the car. I barely got the chance to take another step before Luke had run around and was standing in front of me, blocking my way.

" You are supposed to let me open your door," Luke said with a frown and his bottom lip stuck out in a pout.

" I am perfectly capable of doing that myself," I replied with my head tilted to the side and my arms crossed over my chest. He huffed in defeat, stepping out of my way, then we began walking together to the entry of the pizza place side by side.

He quickly stepped in front of me and opened the door to enter the restaurant. He smiled cheekily at me and I strolled pass him shaking my head and smiling the slightly at his extreme gentlemen qualities.

" If you pull my chair out for me I'm going to hit you," I jokingly warned Luke as he entered the restaurant and stood beside me.

" Don't worry, we can get a booth," He said with a smart ass sarcastic tone, and a smirk on his lips.
