Fire

Chapter 5

~Stephanie's POV~

When we get to the cafè, we sit outside. The air is so warm, the smell of all the pastries wafting through the air.

The waiter comes up and gives us our menus then leaves.

"So," he sets the menu down without even looking at it, "I saw all those guys hanging around you, you must be pretty popular," he says with a smirk.

"Yeah," I blush. Oh my god, he is so gorgeous, "I'm, uh, popular with the guys mostly."

"I can see why," he sits back in his seat.

I giggle and bite my lip. The waiter comes back for our orders. I get an orange water and he gets pomegranate smoothie. Of course he does.

"Ooh, I know, let's play 20 questions," I suggest. It's getting really awkward.

"Okay, you can go first, since you're the girl," he crosses his arms over his chest.

"What''s your favorite color," I ask first.

"Red," he answers.

"Mine too, but sometimes black," I say.

He chuckles, "favorite animal?"

"Cats," the waiter comes over and places our drinks down.

"Anything else," he asks, looking right at me, practically undressing me with his eyes.

"No, that's all," Luc says, jealousy clear in his voice.

I giggle as the waiter leaves.

"What's so funny," he asks.

"You were totally jealous," I say.

"No, I just don't want some guy flirting with the girl I'm on a date with," he shrugs.

I smile, "you're sweet."

He sips his drink.

"I think it's your turn to answer the question," I say.

"Alright," he thinks for a second, "favorite food?"

"Sushi, hands do down," I laugh.

He laughs too.

The whole time we talk and laugh. I actually learn a lot about him and he learns a lot about me. I feel like he likes me, but he doesn't give off much for me to be sure.

Afterwards, when it gets dark and the moon is high in the sky, we go to the beach just down the street. As we're walking I see a sea shell on the ground, so I pick it up.

It's light blue with dark blue accents and the design is so beautiful.

"Hey look," I show it to Luc who has been walking next to me quietly this whole time, "isn't it beautiful," I say.

He smiles, "not as beautiful as you," he says.

My cheeks turn red and I turn away, hiding my smile.

He takes my hand and turns me back around. He lifts my chin up so I can look him in the eyes. His beautiful eyes.

"Don't hide your smile from me, you're gorgeous," he says.

My cheeks turn bright red and I do this exhale fan girl thing. God, I'm such an idiot..

He only smiles and brings his face closer to mine.

He wraps an arm around my waist and pulls me closer into him. My hand is on his chest and my other hand in his hand.

Next thing I know, his lis lock with mine and we're kissing. I mean, I have no problem with that, I was just surprised. Well, now I know he likes me.
