Stranger or Lover?

Chapter 3

It was. "Hey, so I like realised I didn't ask you where you lived so now I look like a stalker so I just want to say I asked a friend of yours, umm what's her name, Lisa, and she told me so yeah." He looked so shy when he said it and I couldn't help but giggle.

"It's okay. Are you ready to go?"

"Course I am. You looking stunning by the way..." he looked down and trailed off after saying this.

"Thank you." I said blushing.  He then opened the passenger door and I took a seat. "Nice car you have here." 

"Thanks, it's a 2015 Lexus CT 200h. My parents umm, gave it to me as a graduation gift." He laughed nervously. 

"It's wicked. I just have a 2015 Mazda3." I loved cars honestly and it always surprised people. I don't know why I mean just because I'm a girl, doesn't mean I can't know and like cars right? He smiled at me and started the engine and we were off. It was such a smooth ride, and it was kind of long as well. Like where the heck were we going? Perth was big but it wasn't that big. 

Suddenly he turned at a set of lights and I realised where we were going. We were having a picnic. (I suddenly got a lot of fucking butterflies too!)

He pulled over and hopped out and went and opened my car door. I stepped out and he quickly rushed to the trunk of his car and pulled out a blanket and set it on the grassed area and then got a wooden basket thingy out of his car and set it down. He motioned for me to sit and so I did, and then he got out another, thinner blanket and wrapped it around me. "I probably should have said where we were going but I wanted it to be a surprise so this is in case you get cold." He chuckled. It was hot too. His mouth tightened when he did and it was just hot. He sat down and pulled sandwiches out of the basket as well as a bottle of wine (how adorable) and chocolate covered strawberries (YUM).  

It was about 8 o'clock when we decided it was a bit too chilly to be outside so we hopped back in his car and sat there, listening to music and talking. It was really good. I learned that his parents owned some of the casinos and hotels in the city so that's why his parents gave him the Lexus. He wanted to be a cop or a lawyer and he was originally from Melbourne but his parents wanted to move for a change of scenery.  It was 9 when we realised it was getting a bit late so James drove me home. He stopped and parked outside my house and turned and looked at me. "Do you believe in kissing on first dates?" He then bit his lip.

I think me leaning in and touching his face and kissing him was a good enough answer to be honest. His one hand went and grasped the back of my head and his other grabbed my hand and he entwined his fingers in mine.

He then suddenly pulled away. "Oh god Anna I'm so sorry. That was so rushed..." 

"I've been wanting to do that since I saw you on the train." I smirked. His eyes went wide and he leaned forward and brushed his lips across mine. They were so soft. 

He then breathed into my mouth and moaned. "I feel like it's too soon..." He mumbled. 

"Mmmm. I'll see you tomorrow then cowboy" I then bit my lip and hopped out. I started walking back and let out a big breath. How did someone, whom I've only like just, met, have such a huge affect on me?
