Heart Of Gold || Outerbanks

12.

━━━━━━♡♤♡━━━━━━

Luciana slipped on her dress, pulling the straps over her shoulders. She stared in the mirror, annoyed that this is what she was doing when she could be doing more productive things.

Like getting JJ out of jail.

Finding the gold.

Going to see wherever the hell John B was.

The doorbell rang as she strapped on her heals, "Lucy can you get that?" Her mother yelled from her room.

She yelled back yes, walking down the steps, her satin gown flowing down behind her.

She went to the door, opening it. Her heart skipped a beat seeing Rafe standing there with flowers.

"Hi." He smiled, looking up and down, "You look amazing."

"What are you doing here?" She asked confused.

He scratched the back of his neck nervously, "I know it might be late to ask but- I wanted to try anyways, do you want to go to midsummers with me? I want you too meet my parents."

"I've already met your parents." Lucy stated, still confused.

"I mean as my girlfriend." He restated his request.

She smiled, "Girlfriend?"

"Maybe I should've asked about this before hand." He chuckled.

"Rafe?" They looked behind Luciana, seeing her mom standing there confused. "For what do we owe the pleasure?"

"Hi Ms. Pérez, I'm just here to-," He cut himself off slowly, looking at Lucy unsurely. Does he say anything about them, he was holding flowers so it couldn't get much more obvious.

"He's here to take me to Midsummers." Lucy answered for him. "He's my date."

Isabel's welcoming smile faltered, "Date?"

"Yep," Luciana nodded, "He's Uh," she looked at the boy, smiling lightly, "He's my boyfriend."

Something twisted in Isabel's gut, her getting the same odd feelings she had around her ex-husband.

But she smiled, hiding her feeling, "Well isn't that amazing?"

She watched as he daughters face washed in relief, Lucy grinning.

"I'll see you there?" Her mom smiled.

"Yeah, totally." Lucy answered, walking up to her mom, kissing her cheek. "Love you."

She grabbed her purse and phone that sat on the entry way table, smiling to Rafe. He held out the flowers to her, her giggled and taking them as they walked out of the house.

"Love you too." Her mom responded quietly. The mother's mind drifted off to the Cameron's, her gut continuing to twist and twist.

Lucy opened the car door, climbing in as she held up her dress with one hand. Rafe got into the drivers seat, then driving to the country club.

He looked at her, down ag her necklace that she fiddled with. "It looks nice on you."

She smiled looking at him, "Yeah i love it." She replied.

His face lit up with happiness, gently taking his right hand in her left, holding onto it with love.

The shortly arrived, them getting out the car. They walked in.

"Finally Rafe! You were taking so long dad was getting worried! Where the hell were you anyways-," Sarah's eyes landed on Luciana, "Lucy?"

"Uh- hi?" Luciana replied more in question.
