Dinner

→LUKE'S P.O.V.←

When I'd gotten home, my whole body was shaking.

Today's svents were all too great and all too much at the same time.

My brothers and mum were obviously out, so I took the opportunity to rest.

I dragged my feet to my room and collapsed onto my bed.

Just before the darkness took me, the image of Zoe flooded my mind.

When I awoke, voices were downstairs.

"Hey!" I said to my family as I arrived down stairs.

I remembered to text Zoe, so I quickly typed a message.

Before I pressed sent, I think about it.

I should take her to dinner, somewhere that's really nice.

I asked her and eventually she said yes.

"Hey, Cal." I said when I rang Calum.

"Yo, what's up man?"

A guilty feeling creeped over me but I needed to do this.

"Calum...I need to talk to you about something."

A small silence was held and then he answered.

"Is this about Zoe?"

"Y-yes."

My voice was almost gone.

"I know how you guys feel about each other. I understand you need her more then I do."

I almost dropped the phone because Calum was more understanding than I ever thought.

Even though he felt the same way towards her, and it was probably killing him to do this, he still let me be with her because he understood.

"C-Calum oh my god thank you. For understanding."

"Your better for her, Luke."

and that was how the conversation ended.

I felt like I owed Zoe a lot, so the restaurant we were going to go to was Nobbs&Turns.

It was the finest restaurant you could find and you had to be pretty rich to go there.

I has never mentioned to Zoe that my family was rich, or that we lived in a pretty big house.

I'd called her and said to meet me at Wolf Park Street.

We'd meet just outside of the restaurant.

It was time to leave, and I was completely paronoid about what would happen.

I was wearing black skinny jeans and a white short sleeve suit shirt. A tie was at my neck too.

When I parked my car, my hands were clammy and I kept redoing my hair.

She'd be here soon.

Nerves filled my stomach and I felt like puking.

It's been really hard to hide how jealous I was over her, how I was head over heels for her.

Now, we'd kissed and I was taking her out.

The past few hours all I could think about were her lips, her face and her body.

She'd been so close and I'd been selfish with what she was offering.

"Luke?" I heard behind me.
