I was nervous as Luke and I walked through the city. The east side of San Francisco isn't very busy at this time of day, 7 pm to be exact. I was scared that Luke would ask about my past. I like him but we only just met I'm not ready to open up to him about everything yet. Trust needs to be earned and I need to wait a little bit. "Tell me about yourself" Luke says as we reach the east side park.  "What do you want to know" I ask nervously. "Anything you want to tell me" he says. "Well, I'm 18, I've lived in San Francisco my whole life, my parents work a lot, my apartment isn't far from here, I listen to a lot of music like twenty one piolets, Ed sheeran, blink 182, Paris, other artists of that nature, what about you Luke" I asked, I was dying to know if we had similarities. "Well Katie, I also like bands of your nature as well, I'm 19, I moved to San Francisco 5 years ago from Sydney, Australia because of my moms work, I play guitar, I work at the record store a few blocks from the coffee shop and I also live in an apartment not far from here." "I'm glad we have similar music taste, because Saturday after your shift I want to take you somewhere" Luke says stopping in the middle of the park to take my hands in his. "You, Luke, what to take me, somewhere Saturday night" I'm shocked no boy has ever taken interest in me before. "Yeah, you're beautiful Katie and it would be my honor to take you somewhere Saturday night" Luke said again. The butterflies making an appearance in my stomach again. "Okay, I'd love that" I blushed deeply. "Can I pick you up at 7" he asked as we continued walking. "Of course, I'll text you if I'm ready earlier if that's alright" I tucked a piece of hair behind my ear nervously. Why was Luke making me so nervous? "That's alright, where do you live, so I like, know where to go" Luke fumbled his words. "Is he getting nervous around me. "I live in apartment 43 on the fourth floor at the Tuscany apartment complex" Luke blushed at my words. "I live in the same complex Katie, I'm in 53 on the fifth floor" he smiled like a dork, Luke is beautiful. As we got lost in conversation my phone began to ring. "Hello" it was my mom. "Katie, can you come home, it's late and dad has the overnight shift again." Mom said tiredly in the phone. "Of course, ill be there in 10" "okay, I love you, be careful" she said yawning. "I love you too" I hung up the phone. "Who was that" "my mom Luke, I have to go home" I sighed, I wanted to spend more time with Luke. "Okay" he smiled softly. As we walked in comfortable silence I begin to think about the date on Saturday with Luke. I'm nervous but also excited. It was tomorrow so thankfully I don't have to deal with the bitches at school. I also think about Luke and how lucky I am to have met him. He's such an incredible guy so far. I think I'm falling quicker than I wanted to. I'm just hoping he doesn't dump me when he figures out my past I'm hiding. We step into the elevator and he pressed the 4 button for me. I went to reach for the 5 to press it but Luke stopped me. "I want to walk you to your apartment" Luke smiled. Butterflies again. The door opened and we walked down the hall till we got to my door. "This it it, thanks for everything Luke, I had fun today" I smiled at him. He reached for my hands again, holding them lightly. "I had fun too, I'll see you Saturday beautiful, text me okay" and with that Luke leaned in and kissed my cheek. "I will" I was blushed mad and smiling like an idiot. Luke began walking back to the elevator and I couldn't help but here a giggle escape his lips. If only I was this happy all the time.
