Crazy stupid love

Chapter 67

"Ready for our date?" Luke asks me when I open the door, a bright smile plastered on his face. "Yeah, let me just get my bag and we can go." I smile a small smile and grab my purse.

Luke leads me out of my apartment building and to his car, he opens the car door for me to get in. "What do you have planned for our date?" I ask him looking down at my hands. "It was going to be a surprise but since I know you hate surprises I'm taking you to the lake for a picnic."

"Sounds like fun." I say giving him a reassuring smile. "I hope it is." He Whispers but I still manage to hear him.

I know it sounds like I don't want to be here at the moment but it's just I can't get over what I witnessed last night. All this is just way to much for me.

"Hey Sydney are you ok? We don't have to do this if you don't want to." Luke snaps me out of my thought. "Yes I'm fine. I'm sorry. I do want to do this, I need to get my mind off things."

"Great, come on we are here." He gets out of the car and jogs to my side and opens the door for me. We walk to a little spot that has a picnic blanket, a basket and a guitar on the ground. we walk towards the objects and sit down.

"Nice place." I say looking around. It was very calming, I liked it. "Thanks. I found it last week." He says grabbing his guitar. "I wrote you a song a while ago and I was waiting for the right moment to sing it to you, I think it's right now." He says and starts strumming his guitar.

I won't lie to you
I know he's just not right for you
And you can tell me if I'm off
But I see it on your face
When you say that he's the one that you want
And you're spending all your time
In this wrong situation
And anytime you want it to stop

I know I can treat you better than he can
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted crying
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can

I'll stop time for you
The second you say you'd like me too
I just wanna give you the loving that you're missing
Baby, just to wake up with you
Would be everything I need and this could be so different
Tell me what you want to do

'Cause I know I can treat you better than he can
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted crying
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can

Better than he can

Give me a sign
Take my hand, we'll be fine
Promise I won't let you down
Just know that you don't
Have to do this alone
Promise I'll never let you down

'Cause I know I can treat you better than he can
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted crying
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can

Better than he can
Better than he can

he finished the song leaving me speechless. "wow, Luke that was beautiful, thank you." I never thought he could write so good. "not as beautiful as you." he blurts out and i cant help but smile.

for the rest of the night we talked and laughed, he told me some of his really bad jokes and i couldn't help but laugh at how hard he tried to make me feel better.

I had so much fun, I was surprised, I didn't think I would be so happy after what happened yesterday. maybe trying this out with Luke isn't such a bad idea after all.

"Thank you for such a great night Luke. I had so much fun." i smile really big. "I'm glad you had fun and that i brought that beautiful smile on your face." he says and creases my cheek.

"I know you're going through a tough time right now, but can you maybe consider going on a second date with me sometime?" he asks making me blush a little. "I would love to go on a second date with you."

"Wait, really?" he says a little taken back. "Yes, Luke I haven't dated anyone but ross, in the past 2 years he's cheated on me about four times and slept with my sister. I need to try something new, something that won't hurt me, at least not at the moment." I tell him and without a second to spare his lips capture mine.

After a few seconds he pulled away. "I promise you, you won't be disappointed." he then captures my lips again this time me kissing him back. "Goodnight Syd." he mumbles before pulling away and leaving.
