We finished up, but sat there for a bit longer. "For bumping into you at the bar and bumping you here, you've been very nice to me." He chuckles, "And you're as sweet as I knew you would be. A beauty like you shines." I blushed and smiled, "You don't have to boost me with lies now." I giggled. He gasped so loud that people turned our direction. We both started laughing. "Hunny, there aren't any lies there. I would never lie to you." He grabbed a napkin, "I need a pen." He signaled the waiter and the waiter went towards our table. When he arrived Luke asked for the check and to use a pen. Once he had the pen, he scribbled on the napkin and handed it to me. "Whenever you need a friend, text or call me. And I'm serious, it doesn't matter what it's for. Don't hesitate to call me." I smiled and nodded. He paid for our order and got up, extending his hand to help me up.

"Thank you Lukas, honestly you have kept my mind out of all that craziness and even talking about it didn't make me sob, like I did all morning." He smiled, "Anytime pretty lady. And like I said before anything hit me." We walked out together and I started walking back the way I came. To find somewhere to stop, turn my phone on and gsp my way home. "Are you walking?" I looked at him over my shoulder. "Yes, I kind of left them the car and walked, in the spur of anger and pain." He nodded. "Do you know where you're going? I can give you a ride, but if you aren't comfortable with that I can walk with you." I smiled, "You'd walk with me and back if I didn't want to go in your car?" He nodded, "Why wouldn't I? I can't just let you walk alone." I turned completely and walked to him. "I'm not comfortable with the ride only because we just met. But I would feel like an ass hole if you walk me home. How about I call you and you keep me company on the phone the whole walk? I'll check how far it is, just give me a sec." I turned my phone back on and waited for the screen to come up. I had clicked on the maps app and clicked home. "It's a thirty minute walk. Would you mind just staying on the phone with me?" He chuckled "Or I can just walk you home, I'm not comfortable allowing you to walk home alone. Actually, how about I walk you halfway? That way I don't need to know where you live, unless you want to share that with me when you're ready." I smile and nod, "Ok." I looked down at my phone and noticed the missed calls and texts from Jacob and Paola. I ignored the messages and went to the gps screen and began my walk back home with Lukas. At the halfway point we stop. "Call my number really quick, so I can call you when I get home. So we both know that we made it ok." I smiled and nodded. Taking out the napkin and calling his phone. "Thank you so much Lukas." I hugged him and he froze at first but then he hugged me back. I honestly needed that hug. "It was my pleasure, call or text if yah need me." He winked and turned away.
