As soon as they were on the porch, Ludwig started to stumble over his words. 'I you we I um she you uh hah uh yes?'
She just laughed and looked up at the stuttering man.
'I would love to go on a date with you.' Ludwig choked on air and finally studdered out 'what?'.
Zinerva laughed and said that Feliciano taught her Italian so she's fluent in it. The german just stood there shocked and finally started to speak.
"W-well I w-will p-pick you up t-tonight at 6 then? I have to w-work all week."
"Yeah. Sounds great. I'm working all week too."
He dug out a small piece of paper from his wallet and wrote down the information then handed it to her. It was Zinerva's turn to blush as she took the piece of paper and thanked him.
"Well, till tonight." Zinerva whispered while looking at Ludwig.
"Until then." He whispered back.
They stared into each others eyes and leaned in, silently hoping a certain Italian would ruin the moment. They paused waited for an interruption but it didn't come. They leaned in again and closed their eyes. Finally their lips joined together.
The cliché sparks began to fly as Zinerva's soft, warm ones rested Ludwig's cold and slightly chapped ones. She pulled him closer and stood on her toes. The german's heart began beating so violently he was almost certain he was having a heart attack. Zinerva's mind began to race as she kissed him. And as cliché as the kiss was, they both new that they needed each other in their lives. Zinerva knew this would blossom into something. Ludwig knew this was the girl he wanted for the rest of his life. The kiss lasted for a good minute, just a simple kiss but, to them, it felt like a lifetime. They pulled away and smiled.
"See you later Ludwig." Zinerva whispered looking up at him.
"As to you, Zinerva." A splash of red covered his face as she leaned up again and gently kissed his cheek.
"Tell Feli I said bye and thanks." She grabbed his hand and squeezed it gently then proceeded to walk off the porch and to her car.
Feli came outside and stood next to Ludwig. She waved, got in and drove off. Ludwig brought a hand up to his lips.
"She's a good person and so are you but just...take it slow. She's had a rough past with her family and all, y'know." Feli said as he stared off, thinking about her.
He came back to himself and looked over to see Ludwig still touching his lips.
"Come on, let's go and get you ready for that date, yeah?" Feli didn't wait for an answer and dragged to dazed man back inside.
