My Best Friend's Brother

"I Thought You Would Say No."

"You know I'm actually surprised you came," Luke said as we walked around the Shopping Center holding hands even though we weren't a couple, it felt nice.

"Why?" I asked looking over at him, "Why wouldn't I come?"

"Well..to be honest.." He sheepishly scratched the back of his neck with his free hand, he tends to do that a lot, "I thought you would say 'no'."

"What? Why would I say no? Why wouldn't I come?" I asked walking in front of him and stopping both of us from walking,

"Well..I thought you wouldn't be that interested in knowing me." Luke shrugged,

"What? Why?"

"You sure ask a lot of questions." He chuckled tapping my nose causing me to automatically scrunch it up,

"Come on,"

"But-"

"Let's continue walking."

"You never answered my quest-"

"They need to remain unanswered."

"Thank you for today," I smiled looking up at Luke, "I had a really good time." I had a total of 6 bags on me, 3 on each arm, Luke decided it would be very gentlemanish of him if he interrupted whilst I was paying for my things and payed for them himself,

No matter how many times I told him he didn't need to spend his money on me, he still did it. If you ignore how frustrating it can be having that always happen, the gesture is actually very sweet. And romantic too.

"I had fun too." Luke smiled down at me, he literally towered over me since he was that tall.

I bit my lip once I saw him leaning closer to me, "I-I-" I stuttered looking down at the floor away from him

Great, now I just ruined the chance of getting a first kiss...
