Zoe wiped tears out of her eyes. She took a deep breath, it was a while before she spoke.
"I am not okay." She said, unable to look at Luka.
"I will always be listening, Zoe." Comforted Luka
"Well I..." Zoe hesitated, "My sister treats me bad, but I still love her."
"What did she do exactly?" Luka Asked.
"It just reminded me of... of." Zoe started to cry again.
Luka put a hand on her shoulder.
"Hey..." He said gently, "You don't have to tell me everything."
"No it's fine, I need to talk about it, I feel... a heavy feeling inside of me, I need to let it out." Zoe sighed. She took a few deep breaths.
"Well." She sighed, "The way my sister treated me brought back painful memories. It really hurt me, past and present."
Zoe felt arms wrap around her, Zoe suddenly knew it was Luka.
"!" She was surprised by the hug.
Zoe slowly, and hesitantly hugged him back, she closed her eyes. She felt herself blushing. After a while things got too awkward.
"Uhm..." Zoe squeaked, "Th-thank you."
"Ah... Don't worry. Just remember that i'll be here for you. Always."
Zoe blushed, she never met anyone as nice as Luka.
"Ah.." She started.
"What is it?" Luka asked.
"I... don't know."
"Say it."
"May I hang out with you? I am quite bored.... And I don't want to go back home yet."
"Oh. Of course you can."
"Thank you."
"I want to go to the bakery. I am in for some sweet treats." Said Zoe.
"Sure" Smiled Luka.
They walked to the bakery, Luka teasing Zoe, and Zoe laughing along with him.
A while later they got their treats. Zoe enjoyed her chocolate croissant, with each bite she got more and more satisfied.
"You got some chocolate syrup on your lips." Chuckled Luka.
"Here?" Asked Zoe, rubbing a finger on one part of her lips.
"No." He said, smiling.
A few more failed attempts happened.
"Here, let me help you." Luka said, his thumb reached for her lips.
"Ah... no worries, I got a pocket mirror here." Zoe said. She quickly reached in her bag and took out a small blue mirror.
"Ah..." Luka withdrew his hand, embarrassed.
"Let's just walk around now." Luka said, he grinned at Zoe.
and just walked around Paris laughing and talking. Soon the sun started to set.
"Well..." Sighed Zoe sadly, "I should get home, thank you Luka. For everything."
"No worries, I had fun." Beamed Luka.
"Bye..." She breathed.
"Bye." He sighed.
Zoe walked to her house she looked back and Luka was walking away, some time later Zoe thought of Luka and she blushed, remembering the hug and her crying.
Zoe thought to herself, Ahhh no. How embarrassing! What shall I do now? He's going to see me as a weirdo now....
Zoe was unable to sleep at night, too busy thinking about the boy who comforted her with so much love.
