The mass has ended but Rylee, even trying her best to concentrate, had missed the message conveyed by the priest.

They are now heading to a restaurant just located along the church. She can see that the restaurant has a unique ambience.  It is decorated with zodiac signs and the sitting arrangement is breathtaking. There were beautiful plants that made the surrounding beautiful and relaxing.

Unknowingly,  Rylee relaxed a bit being with Luke.  Their conversation became light, friendly and casual although she can sense an occasional flirting from him.  Overall,  she had fun.  The food are honestly superb.

They both became silent after seeing a couple who passed by holding their hands together. Rylee noticed that Luke stare fixedly at her.  She had seen it at the corner of her eyes.  The tingling feeling she initially experienced causing her weakness was back again. 

"Rylee, am...ah...I know were matured enough...and we both know that  there is something between us... I know you can feel it too.
I've been trying my best to abandon this foreign desire but I failed. All the time,  my thoughts never left you. " 

"Luke stop! Just stop!...It's too early to contemplate all of these?  How can you even say that?  Rylee tried to act innocent.

"Don't deny it! I can feel it Ryl! Would you rather let it pass? Would you want me to just ignore it than tell the truth?"

"No. I mean , yes. As you know, I am inexperience on this...whatever it is... I am not quick-witted over...over this...I do not know what is it. We just met Luke. "

"But can't we try?  We'll see where it leads us? I think I am going crazy over a simple girl whom I just met only two days ago who already dominated and occupied my already busy mind...Let me spend my time with you again...tonight. "

" What does that mean? "

Whispering in a husky voice,  Luke replied,  "No,  do not think of anything. I just really wanna be with you.  I'll be insane knowing you are alone all night. The couch is fine with me as long as I am with you."

" I ..."

"Please...? "

Rylee astonishly nodded.  She was about to say no but her mind already made its decision.
