|100 Ways To Say 'I love you'| Lashton

3. "Its My Treat"

5 years, 3 months before the accident

"Luke where are we going?" I asked, trying to peek under the blindfold I had on my eyes.

I felt a sting on my hand and I yelped, rubbing it. "Did you just hit me?" I asked incredulously and I heard him laugh.

"Yes. No peaking, we'll be there soon." I sighed but didn't try again. It only took about 5 minutes before the car stopped and I heard the car door open.

"Luke? Are we there?" I didn't get an answer. "Luke...?" I tried to the pull the blindfold off again when my door was opened and Luke smacked my hand again.

"I said no peeking. Now watch your head." He says, grabbing my hand and helping me out of the car.

"Can I look now?" I whined and he laughed. "Okay."

I pulled the cloth off my eyes and gasped as I saw where we were. "Luke what are we doing here? You have to get a reservation, like a month in advance." He just smiles and grabs my hand.

"Reservation for two." Luke says to a girl when we walk in.

"What's it under?" She asks nicely.

"Hemmings." She looks through her computer and nods, smiling.

"Right this way." She says and leads us to a little booth. She hands us both a menu. "Your waiter will be out to serve you shortly." Luke just nods and thanks her.

"Hows this for a first date?" He asks with a smile.

"I don't know how the heck you got a reservation here but it's awesome." I tell him.

His smile widens and I can't help but smile as well. His smile is just contagious.

The whole dinner we just talk and laugh, it really was the perfect first date.

"Would that be all tonight?" The waiter asks and Luke nods.

"Yes, thank you."

"Ok I'll be right out with your check." The waiter says and grabs our plates.

"Hey did you finish that essay in English?" I asked Luke and he smiled.

"Yea why?"

"When's it due?"

"Uh...tomorrow." He says and laughs at my horrified expression.

"Are you serious?"

"Yea." Luke continues to laugh and I groan. Of freaking course.

"Maybe I can help you with it?" He asks and I nod, giving him a grateful look.

"You know your the best boy-I mean friend. Uh your the best friend ever." I mumble with a blush. I look down at my lap and play with my fingers.

The waiter comes back and puts the check on the table before giving us a smile and leaving with a 'have a nice day'. I look up and try to take the check but Luke frowns and pulls it out of my reach.

"Luke let me see it, we can go half and half."

"No. This is a date Ashton. A date that I asked you to go out on which means I'm paying. It's my treat." I furrow my eyebrows but nod.

He grabs my hand as we walk out and I blush yet again. "Ashton?"

"Yea?"

"You said that you liked me...and you agreed to let me take you out. And I've kinda wanted to do this for a while...but uh this date went really well in my opinion so do you like...maybe, I don't know...do you want to be my boyfriend?" He rubbed the back of his neck and his face was a bright red.

I couldn't help but giggle and he looked at me with a small smile.

"What's so funny?" He mumbled.

"You." Then I mustered up all the courage I could and leaned forward to kiss him. He immediately kissed me back and gripped my waist.

"Is that a yes?" He asked when I pulled away. I nodded and he gave me the biggest smile.

He kissed me again and I kept my arms wrapped around his neck.

Wow was I glad I asked him to hang out the other day.
