First Sight

Chapter 21

"Two vanilla ice cream cones please." Lucas said. After another 10 minute make out session we had finally made our way to the car. Then proceeded to kiss. Again. And again. About twenty minutes later we had finally arrived at the ice cream parlor where my craving for vanilla ice cream had been satisfied.
"Here you are you guys go. Enjoy!"
As she handed Lucas the ice cream he led us to a tiny booth. At this point came the option of sitting next to him or sitting across from him. I wanted to sit next to him. But what if it was weird or I wasn't supposed to?They never specify in the books or the movies. They just say ,"Oh I sat with Jimmy at lunch and it was soooo romantic." Never, " Jimmy sat right next to me without any hesitation."
All of this went through my mind as we were walking to the booth.
Lucas sat down and looked at me expectantly. I had no idea what to do. So I just did what anybody sane would do. I asked Lucas.
"Um not to sound weird but where the heck do I sit? Like next to you or beside you?" I asked nervously.
He looked at me with a weird expression that was like I cannot believe I was asked that question.
"You are sitting next to me ,Bella. I don't care if it is proper or not."
"Okay then."I replied.
As we sat there eating our ice cream cones I felt his hand rest on my knee. I didn't comment because I knew he felt like he was being sneaky. He started to slowly creep upwards until it rested on my thigh, I was loving every second of this.
Suddenly he spoke, "Do you want to get outta here ,Bella?" he asked quietly like he thought I would deny him if he said it any louder. Like I physically could.
"Yes, Lucas. Let's go."

After we left the parlor we just drove for hours and hours, just talking. I loved him so much. No matter how bad my day was he could make me smile.  Every time he smiled he'd crinkle his eyes and scrunch his nose.
It was a little after 8pm when he finally dropped me off at my house. My mom wasn't home. Then I remembered that she wouldn't be home for another day or two because she had gone on a business trip.
Lucas walked me to the door and as we approached I stopped abruptly. So abruptly that Lucas had made it all the way to the door before he had realized that I had stopped.
"What's up ,Bella? What's wrong?" He asked
" Will you stay with me tonight?" I asked quickly
"What? What about your mom? Isn't she home?" He asked
"No,she's on a business trip and won't be home for a few more days. Will you stay with me?"I asked again
"Most definitely ,Bella. I would love that."
Then we continued walking towards the door. I had a huge grin on my face and was ignoring the nagging thought in my mind that this probably wasn't the best idea I had ever had ,but I really wasn't in the mood to listen to that voice tonight. Because the only thought going through my mind was that he had said yes.
