Falling For My Stepbrother

chapter 22

                       KIARA POV

"Don't panic, just breathe in and out whenever you're feeling nervous?" Mom says as she brushes my hair to the back.

   " I know how a first date can be especially when you like the boy, I was nervous when your father took me on a date" too much lecture for just one date.

  "Yeah Mom I get it, you've told me that like 100 times now" I laughed.  " I think you are the nervous one here" I added.

  "Yeah of course baby, I am nervous, it's your first date for goodness sake".

  So....after Greg's confession, he has been nice and caring, it's been two weeks and we have been hanging out as friends but recently, he asked me on a date. Jarden on the other hand have been avoiding me and I try as much to avoid him too. He's been acting weird anytime I go to the dining room and he is there he just gets up and goes somewhere else.

  Well, I have tried my best to forget about him and Lucas too who have been apologising.

  Greg was a great guy and I liked him. I wasn't perfect for him but right now I didn't care because I had to take my mind off Jarden and stop thinking about him.

  " You look beautiful" I looked at the already dressed Greg who looked so stunning.

  " Thanks" I smiled. " You don't look bad yourself," I said.

  Greg chuckled before opening the passenger seat for me. I entered into the car.

"So where are we going?" I asked smiling.

  " Mmmmmm it's.... a surprise mam" Uhhh I loved surprises.

  " So... You're coming to UF?" He asked and I nodded.

  " We resume next week, you're ready for school?" He asks again.

  "Yeah I am ready" Was I ready to go to a place filled with people I don't even know? I hate new places.

  " Anything you need I will be always available for you, okay" awwn such a sweet guy. I smiled.

  Getting to a dark, quiet place, Greg opened the door for me.

  " How am I sure that you're not kidnapping me?" I jokingly asked.

  " How do you know that I was?" Greg laughed.

  " Somebody help me a handsome dude is taking me to where I don't know" I joked again. Greg laughed. What a nice laughter he has. When I laugh I sound like a cow🤣.

  His hands locked on my waist as he directed me to where we were going.

  " I hope you like it," he says. we were at a beach, I saw a table with candles on top. Wine and other covered plates were there too. This was beautiful.

  " I love it" I squealed.

  He gestured on a chair for me to sit.  He opened the covered meal, I got a whiff of the delicious smell of the food that I knew I had not eaten before. It looks so appetizing.

  " This is an Italian food, it is called risotto, they said Italian food is Best for dates" he chuckled.

   " Rittoto?" I asked.

   " No risotto" he corrected.

   " Oh risotto"

  "Yh, Have a taste" he handed a fork to me.

  " Thanks" I took a bite of the food. God.....I hadn't tasted something like this before, it tasted so good.

  " You like it?" He asked.
