Chapter Five: date night!
Luke's point of view
We walk out of Nicky's apartment, and I take a second to look at her. Tonight, she looks downright gorgeous. She has a pink dress that looks good with her red hair.
"You look so beautiful, Nicky." I smile at her, and she blushes.
"Thank you!" She smiles as she grabs my hand.
"Where are we going to dinner tonight?" She asks me while she is still holding my hand.
"Anywhere you want to go." I smile at her, and she smiles back.
**
We get to the Restaurant. I pull out a chair for Nicky to sit in. "Thank you." She smiles up at me while I take the seat across from her.
"So Luke, tell me about you." She begins as she sits, smiling up at me.
"Well, um, " I can't think of what to say to her. She's so perfect, and I am such a loser.
"Well, I do love my job as a teacher in history and as a coach for the football team," I state.
"That's good. What made you want to become a history teacher?" She asks.
"Honestly, my Dad is what got me into history. He loves to talk about history with me. So my Dad encouraged me to become to be a teacher of history. He was right. My Dad died over a year ago today. He was a hard working man and good man. But he did drink so much to an early grave."
"I am so sorry about what happened to your Father Luke." She tries to comfort me, but I say: "Tonight is not about my dead Dad let's talk about you Nicole." I state and drink water.
"I can't order any alcoholic drinks." Nicole states.
"Really?" I ask her.
"It was because of my father. He is and will always be an alcoholic who drinks nonstop. I hate that because it's so frustrating watching him lead himself into an early grave." Nicole sighs.
"I am so sorry, Nicole." I put my hand on her arm, and she smiles up at me.
"It's okay." She smiles, but I can't tell if her smile is fake or not.
"Want to go to the bookstore?" I ask her after we finish our meal.
"Please!" She laughs and goes and gets in my car. I get in the driver's seat of my vehicle. Shut the car door then I drive us to the bookstore.
"Nicole or Nicky or Princess?" I ask her as we drive.
"Are you asking what name you can call me?" Nicky states.
"Yes, what would you like me to call you?" I begin.
"How about Nicky because the people who call me Nicky truly care about me." She smiles, and I blush.
"Sounds good, so you calling me Luke is okay?" I ask her.
"Yes, of course, Luke." We both smile at each other.

We get to the bookstore, and her whole face lights up. She's glowing with happiness. We walked through the bookstore for a bit. I am buying her books because I know how much she loves books.
Nicky checks out her books and then sits down at the coffee shop in the bookstore.
"So what books did you buy?" I ask her when she sits down because she has five books.
"It's the A Court of Thorns and Roses series. Which follows many characters through trials and war, but it's mostly about love. Rhysand loves Feyre." She is beaming with happiness.
"I am so glad that you love to read. What do you like to write?" I ask her.
"Romance novels. Honestly, I love a good romance novel." I smile up at her.
"What kinds of romance novels?" I ask her as I take a sip of my coffee.
"All kinds. I read every kind of romance novel there is." She smiles, and I smile back.
"Have you ever written a book?" I ask her.
"Yes, I have. I have written so many books but haven't published anything yet." She adds and sips from her coffee.
"I would love to hear about them," I tell her.
"Really?" She asks, and I nod my head to say yes.
"Okay, great, so the current one I am writing about is a girl named Renae and she comes from a family where success is everything. Her brother is a doctor who works on curing cancer. Her sister is a famous actress. All Renae wants to do is draw. But to her parents, she's just a disappointment. Now Renae is going to college. Where she meets Ethan. Ethan is kind, sweet, loving, and paralyzed from the waist down. So how will Renae's parents accept Ethan? You must read it to find out." She laughs at the last part, but every time she talks about books, writing, or reading, she just lights up. I do like this girl. I don't know if she likes me, but I do like her.
We decide to leave the bookstore and drive back to Nicky's apartment.
"Nicky, I had the most amazing time," I tell her as we walk in the hallway to get to her apartment.
"I also had an amazing time. Would you like to do this again?" She asks, and it makes my heart so happy.
"YES! I would be honored." I joke, and she laughs. We have both been smiling and laughing all night.
"Here is my phone number." Nicky grabs my phone and puts in my phone her phone number.
"Great, thank you." She starts to leave but I grab her arm.
"A true gentleman would kiss the girl goodnight," I tell her as I pull her close to me. I wrap my hands around her face and kiss her. I kiss her good. I can tell it's a good kiss because my penis is now hard. Goodness, this woman is so amazing.
"Thank you for that." She smiles at me.
"Anytime. Text me, and let's do this again real soon." I grin up at her. I give her one more kiss goodbye, then as she enters the apartment, I walk out of there and go to my car.
I get home, and all I can think about is that kiss. It was probably the most fantastic kiss of my life.
"Hey, Buddy!" I smile at my dog.
I sit on the couch with my phone (just in case she texts)
I check my phone and see this:
Nicky: I had the most fantastic time. When are you free to go out again?
Me: How about on Saturday? Are you free Saturday? Aka tomorrow
Nicky: Yes, I am free. What time?
Me: How about 3:00 p.m.?
Nicky: Sounds perfect! What do you want to do?
Me: It's a surprise. You must wait and see 😊
Nicky: okay ☹
Me: it will be great! 😊
Nicky: Yes, it will! Goodnight! 😊
Me: Goodnight! 😊
After that, I go to bed with a smile on my face
