Complicated

~9~

A/N: that is Eva's outfit 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

I change into my outfit for the date. I brush out my dark brown hair. I don't usually wear cropped shirts with my belly showing. But I feel with Luke, it'll be good. He'll like it.

I curl it lightly from the tips. I leave it down. The door clicks open. Luke walks in with his hands behind his back. I look at my phone. It's 5:00. The exact time he said to be ready.

"Hi," he says, kindly. I smile at him.

"Hey..." I say. He pulls his hand out from behind his back. Revealing a bouquet of peonies. I gasp. He's quite the gentleman. I wish he was always like this. I know he's putting on a mask. He's gonna go back to being a douche.

"Wow... Th-thank you..." I say. I take them and put them on the desk.

"You look great," he compliments. I smile, wider. I take in his appearance. Black skinny-ish jeans and a white v-neck top.

"You too," I say awkwardly. We walk out the door. "Where are we going?" I ask as we go down the elevator.

"Surprise," he says cheekily. I roll my eyes.

We pull up into the parking lot of a pizza place. I'm not like other girls. I'm not all fancy on dates. Pizza is my dream date. Noah and I went for pizza on our first date too. Sore topic.

"Oh my god! I love pizza!" I squeal.

"Good. But there's more after this!" He says. I nod.

We walk in, and we find a table. I push out my own chair, not wanting to be annoying. He sits beside me, instead of across.

The waiter walks up to us. "What can u get you?" The tall blonde man asks. Luke looks at me. I shrug.

"One medium pepperoni pizza,"Luke says. I smile, approvingly. The waiter writes it down. "Any drinks you'd like, while you wait?" He asks, looking up.

"Umm...water please," I say. Luke looks at me, raising an eyebrow.

"I'll have...b-water too," he says. It sounds like he was going to say beer. But I'm glad he changed his mind. The waiter nods and leaves.

He comes back a few minutes later with our drinks. "Your food will be ready shortly," he says. I nod.

"I wanna say sorry," Luke speaks. I take a sip of the iced water.

"Umm... What do you mean?" I ask.

"For being an asshole, I'm sorry," he says.

"It's fine. I get it. People get mad, it's okay," I smile. He smiles back.

"Thanks..." He takes a sip of his water. The waiter comes back. That was quick.

"I hope you enjoy." The waiter steps away and leaves. We dig into the pizza.

"Okay, so we're going to go somewhere else now," Luke says. We're in his car. I nod.

Soon, Luke pulls to a stop. My eyes are closed, because he told me to close them. I smell the ocean. But I could be wrong. He guides me out of the car, holding my hand.

"Okay, open your eyes," he whispers. I open my eyes and gasp. We're at the beach and a horse stands there.

"Luke?! A horse?!" I squeal running up to it. "Where the hell did you get this?" I jump up and down.

"I know a guy," he smirks. "Well, c'mon let's get on!" He gestures to the horse. I step on the metal foot thing. He helps me up. And then gets on, in front of me.
