We finally reached our destination. It was at a skate park. Not the biggest idea for a date but hey, I'm going on a date with the guy I've been crushing on for years so it's worth it.

"We're going to have a picnic" he finally admitted.

I grinned and we went to this big ass tree near the park. Some teens were still skating and they were doing some pretty cool tricks. This is actually not so bad.

We went behind the tree and Luke grabbed a blanket from the wooden basket. He lied it down and we both sat on it.

He pulled out 2 bowls of pasta. It smelled delicious. I think Liz made this.

He handed me a bowl of pasta and handed me a fork. I gradually accepted and started to dig in. I moaned when I took the first bite.

"This is so good" I moaned. "Did Liz make this?".

"Nope, I did" he said proudly.

I widened my eyes. Luke can cook? This is why I love this boy.

"I didn't know you can cook" I admitted.

"I started to learn while I was on tour" he confessed. "It's fun. I like it"

I smiled at him and looked back at the skaters. I watched as the skaters did cool tricks. After watching them for 5 minutes, Luke pulled out his phone.

I gave him a confused look. He pressed a few buttons and music started playing.

Control by Halsey played.

"I love her so much" I awed. "She's so awesome".

"I know right. She's awesome" he agreed.

We both started talking about other artists and bands while Halsey was playing in the background.

As we started talking about other topics, I didn't notice how close we were. Our knees were touching and our shoulders were 5 inches from each other. I felt his hot breath between my nose and lips. His breath smelled minty.

"All Time Low is the best..." I slowly said.

"Yeah.." He started to lean in.

Oh.

oh.

This is happening. What am I suppose to do?

I'm afraid to admit it but...

I never kissed anyone.

Oh my gosh. Shocker.

See the sarcasm?

Yes, I never kissed anyone and I don't know how to do it. What am I suppose to do? Am I suppose to sit in a weird way? Am I suppose to look at him a weird way? Do I pucker my lips? Ugh. This is frustrating.

You know what?

Screw it.

I started to lean in until something hit my face and I fell down.

What the hell?

I groaned and rubbed my face.

"Oh my God. Flora, are you okay?" Luke asked, worrying that something hard hit my face.

"Yeah.." I groaned.

I got up and saw a guy running to us.

"I'm so so so sorry, mate" the dude apologized. "I didn't know you were there".

Gee, thanks.

"My friend threw a rock so he could prove that he's stronger than me and it hit you" the guy scratched behind of his neck ad winced. "I'm so sorry".

"It's okay" I accepted his apology.

I tried to smile but, my cheek started to hurt. The guy gave me a sad smile before running back to his friend and yelling at them. I looked down and I haven't noticed but, Luke's hand was on my thigh.

My face turned bright red and I looked at him. He had a worried expression his face. His hand moved towards my now, bruised cheek. I winced and he pulled his hand back quickly.

"Sorry" he apologized. "I didn't mean to do that".

I tried to smile and said it was okay.

He took my hand and gestured me to lay down next to him. I blushed and I did what he said.

It was shoulder to shoulder. We both looked at the sky and it was so bright. So many stars filled the sky an the bright moon was shining us like we are the star of the show.

My heart skipped a beat so many times, I might get a heart attack. My stomach had so many butterflies and I couldn't speak cause' of all these emotions. This is happening. I can't believe it.

I suddenly felt a hand intertwine with mine. I jumped and he seemed to take an offense to that. He pulled his hand away.

"Sorry.." He pouted.

"No, it's okay. It's just you scared me" I explained.

I intertwined our fingers once again and we stayed like that for the next hour.

This night is perfect.

__________________________

We packed up since it was getting really dark and we didn't want to be late to get home. I looked at my phone.

8:30.

We walked back home, still hand-in-hand.

"Tonight... Was good" he breathed.

"It was" I agreed.

He squeezed my hand and I felt the butterflies growing.

"We should do this again another time"

I looked at him and smiled. I nodded my head and put my head on his arm.

We soon reached to my house and we stopped in front of it.

"Thanks for the date. It was amazing" I thanked him.

"I had a fun time too" he grinned.

We both hugged. Still trying to get on my tippy toes so he won't have to crouch as much.

We soon let go and he kissed my cheek.

My face turned bright red. He chuckled and he blushed.

"See you tomorrow at 1" he waved and walked back to his house.

I stood there, speechless and shocked.

Luke. Hemmings. Just. Kissed. My. Cheek.

I must be dreaming. Someone slap me please.

I slowly waved and walked back to my house.

I closed the door behind me and squealed.

"WOOOOOO!!! HE KISSED MY CHEEK!! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!!" I scream at the top of my lungs.

I quickly called Angelina and told her everything that happened that night.
She cheered me on and I went to my room. I changed into my PJ's and told her goodnight. She said goodnight back and I fell asleep happy.

Hey guys!! I really really REALLY love this chapter. It's so amazeballs!! Gaaaah!! I hope you like this one. Love you <3
