“Froyo should be considered therapy to the people of the world” Lucas grinned at me three days later. After things had cooled down between me and Derek I wanted to thank Lucas for staying with me to make sure I was okay. So I scheduled a fro-yo outing and since I didn’t have a car, Lucas had to drive. I did pay though….so kudos to me.
“It actually could be! It’s so much cheaper and so much tastier” I sighed savoring my banana mango blast. We had gotten our Froyo and were sitting inside Lucas’ car.
“It is” Lucas grinned scooping his vanilla yogurt
“What a disgrace” I said looking at his frozen yogurt in disgust
“What do you mean?”
“Vanilla Froyo? What’s the point?”
“Simplicity is key” He smiled.
“Sir, would you like to support our scouts?” A woman with two children beside her said tapping on the driver’s side window.
“Sure” Lucas nodded rolling down the window, “Ashley hand me my wallet?” He said gesturing to his glove compartment. I grabbed it and handed it to him
“Give me whatever’s best” Lucas said holding out a fifty.
“Thank you so much! Here, let me get you change” The little girl beamed
“No, keep the change” Lucas took the box of mint thins in her outstretched hands
“Sir, are you sure?” The other girl asked
“Yeah” Lucas nodded
“Thank you so much!” The girls chorused
“Dude, you’re like Santa” I laughed
“Just call me nick” Lucas handed me his wallet to put in his glove compartment but not before I noticed a picture
“Who is this?” I asked pointing to the woman. She looked just like Cynthia
“Um…that’s my grandma” Lucas seemed to be choked up
“Your mom’s mom?”
“Yeah.” Lucas’ eyebrows furrowed and he quickly changed the subject, “I’m sorry about my mom”
“It’s fine. She was just being honest”
“It was wrong and I’m sorry” He said fingering the collar of his black v-neck. Did I mention how awesome he looked in the v-neck? Oh gosh
“What are you thinking?” Lucas said lightly tapping my forehead
“Nothing” I smiled. A buzzing from my pocket had me checking my phone
Hey, Ash. My friends having a party on Saturday and I was wondering if you could come…as my date?-Brad
“Derek texting you?” Lucas asked
“No…Brad” I smiled
“Oh”
“He asked me to be his date for some party on Saturday” I couldn’t believe it
“Keenan’s? yeah, I was going to go too”
“Yeah, that’ll be so fun! It will give you an brad a chance to remember each other’s names” I laughed
“Yeah” Lucas said quietly
Yeah, that will be awesome
I quickly texted back.
……………….
When I got home, I high tailed to my room and looked through my closet trying to find something to wear. Now, I needed something sophisticated and elegant but also something that drew the ‘come hither’ side out.
