Please Help, It Hurts

I Think So

As Chloe calmed down, she looked at Luka who was looking back with a soft look in his eyes. She was so close to him that she almost fainted. They could both hear their heart beating in their ears and they could not contain it.

They moved closer and closer but then Chloe started to overthink things and gave him a hug instead. Luka was a bit disappointed, but the hug was a nice reminder that Chloe felt safe and comforted around him. 

While giving him the hug Chloe's thoughts were racing. 'What if he doesn't want to kiss me?' 'What if he only thinks of me as a friend?' 'Does he like me?'

They pulled away and Luka tried to start the conversation, "I'm sorry, I didn't know about your dad."

"It's fine, I feel a lot better now." she lied.

She turned to the clock and realized that Luka only had 15 minutes left before he had to leave. She turned to Luka and realized that he was still holding her. 

She didn't mind it but he let go and said, "Oh I'm sorry, anyways I was wondering if you would like to go on a date with me?"

She just stared at him with confusion. When she finally processed what he said, smiled and answered, "Of course of would."

"Great, I'm free on Wednesday, would that work for you?" he said very confidently.

"I think so, just to be sure, can I have your number?" 

"Oh, yes here, put your number in my phone." 

As she typed it, she felt her body filling with adrenaline. And she also noticed that Luka's smile was growing and she punched in the numbers.

She gave back his phone and grinned.

"Well, I have to go now but I'll see you on Wednesday right?"  he asked while getting up and walking to the door.

"Yes, you will," 

Right when Chloe was about to open the door for him, he pulled her in and kissed her on the cheek. 

She felt her skin get red and hot. 

"Bye Chloe!" he yelled as he left her driveway.

She shut the door and squealed with happiness while trying not to wake up her mom.

"Holy crap..... okay, Wednesday."
