    𝓛ucas Esposito, Alejandro's cousin, had gotten Arabella's number, thanks to Topper,— hesitating several times whether to write to her or not, he opted to take a risk, to ask her out,

The boy was someone decisive, he thought the girl was interesting, pretty and kind— he wanted to get to know her more, but when they warned him about her past with Rafe Cameron, he had doubts if there was still something between them, however, when the green-eyed girl accepted his invitation, he regained hope of having a chance with her

After they talk for a while, Arabella tried to hide her emotion, it was something relatively new for her,

But she was liking the idea more and more of flirting and hanging out with a boy she thought was cute,—— the idea of experiencing that feeling of little by little forming a bond with him, maybe even going on dates in the future.

She didn't know those normal experiences that many teenagers had the grace to have.
She knew she wasn't bad looking, but when she moved to Greece she distanced herself 'quite' a bit from people, she maintained a disconnection with the outside world, limited to talking only to his father and the security guard, she didn't have any friends either besides her group of friends from the OBX, her world had collapsed when Marina died
But now she felt that everything in her life was again returning to normal.

Lucas had told her that he would pick her up in half an hour, so the green-eyed girl took advantage of that time to get ready,
She changed her pajamas for a short floral dress, tied her hair in a bun with a pink bow, and wore simple converse that matched
She liked to feel feminine, getting ready and putting on makeup to look nice,

The boy was punctual, he rang the house bell once, perhaps hoping to speak to the girl's father, to assure him that he was going to bring her home at a reasonable hour, but instead a man dressed in black opened the door.

"Who are you?" The guard asks, "A friend of Arabella, I'm looking for her, sir." The brunette explains, and a female voice is heard behind, "William, I'm going out with him." The girl says with a smile, appearing behind the aforementioned.

Lucas was stunned when he saw her, she looked beautiful, "Does your father know about this Miss Arabella?" The man asks, she shakes her head, "No," she whispers, biting her lower lip,

He sighs, but seeing her for the first time in a long while be excited about something, he decided to let her enjoy,
"I won't say anything, have fun— don't bring her late, young man, otherwise, I'll take care of going looking for her myself," William assures his boss's daughter with a closed-lipped smile, but warns the other boy in a serious tone.

"No sir, it will not be necessary" The blue-eyed man assures,
"Thank you" The brunette smiles, and she leaves her house with Lucas, who opens the door of his truck for her, and then sits in the driver's seat.

"You look— you're really pretty." The boy smiled at her, causing a blush to take over her cheeks. She whispered a thank you, watching as he began to drive, "Where are you taking me?" She asks, curiously.

"It's a surprise," he replies, "If I tell you, everything would be ruined." He continues, while concentrating on the road.

The route lasted about 20 minutes, until he parked on a hill, and they both got out of the car,— the brunette was amazed by the view from there, it was high enough to have a look of the broader ocean, and the small houses that were on the opposite side of the island, which with the help of the starry sky could be seen.
