Too good to be true

Chapter 23

Luke's P.O.V

Mrs. Sanchez and Zoëy started making dinner right after Mrs. Sanchez invited me. Mr. Sanchez was still upstairs, and I currently locked myself in the bathroom. I don't know why, but I just paniced I guess. I never, EVER felt nervous at someones house, esspecially not with girls. What if I say something stupid? Or what if I don't like the food their making? I didn't know what to do. So I decided to call Jai, hoping no one would hear or conversation. 'Pick up, please..' I whispered when the third tone came. And just when I was about to cancel the call, I heard his raspy voice take over the silence. 'Oi Luke, whats up?' I cleared my troath and spoke up. 'Okay, listen to me. I know this sounds stupid, but Mrs. Sanchez asked me to stay for dinner, and now I don't know what to do' 'Wow, slow down! Are you saying you are.. nervous? Luke Brooks is nervous?' I heard a few chuckles before he continued. 'You'll be fine, just stay true to yourself, don't act all different' 'Okay, and what if..' I was taken back when I heard footsteps, coming up my way. 'Luke? Is everything alright?' Zoëy's voice filled up the whole area. 'I gotta go' I quickly whispered in my phone, before I hung up on Jai. I smoothly unlocked the bathroom and walked towards Zoëy, who's back was facing me. I carefully walked towards her and just when I was a few inches away from her, I screamed. 'Boo!' Zoëy jumped almost four feet high and fell on the ground, laughing when her tiny body touched the ground. I chuckled before I reached my hand out for her, helping her up. She took my hand, but when I was about to pull her up, she pulled me down on the ground too. I excidently fell on top of her, facing her beautiful face. She was still laughing her ass off, but I just admired my few, taking every detail of her face in. Her cute little dimple when she smiled to her flawless skin, even though she had some pimples on her chin. A couple of seconds later, Zoëy looked up at me, noticing me staring down at her. She blushed when I carefully tuckled a piece of hair behind her ear, making sure her whole face was visible. We stared in eachothers eyes for what felt like ages, untill my gaze followed her nose down to her pink lips. They looked so soft, and I really wanted to just lean down and kiss her. But my nerves took over my confidence in seconds, and deep down I knew it was too soon. I snapped out of my trance when Zoëy moved herself away from me, hiding her cheeks with a little smile. Soon enough, I stood up aswell, scratching the back of my neck. 'Yeah uh, I'm sorry.. It's just..' I couldn't find the words. 'It's okay Luke, don't worry about it' She cutted me off, still smiling. I smiled back at her and together, we walked towards the diningroom. The food wasn't even ready yet and it already smelled amazing. 'Its almost done' Zoëy said, before she walked back towards her mom, helping her finishing our dinner. I was left alone again, awkwardly standing there, doing nothing. 'Can I help you guys with something?' I asked, willing to help. Mrs. Sanchez turned around, clearly taken aback with my question. 'The table has to be set, but I'll do it later' 'No!' I spoke up, a little too hard I think. In the corner of my eye, I saw Zoëy staring at me in awe, while I heard Mr. Sanchez coming down the stairs. 'I'm sorry, I mean.. I can set the table, its not a big deal. And I'm willing to help, so please?' Mrs. Sanchez smiled widly at me before she answered. 'Thats really kind of you Luke, thank you' I smiled back at her before she turned around again. Zoëy handed me some plates while she placed the forks, knifes and spoons. By the time Zoëy and I were done, dinner was ready and we all sat down. I grabbed some of everything, and when I took the first bite, my eyes widened. This was absolutely amazing! 'Woa, this tastes really good!' Mr. Sanchez and Zoëy laughed while Mrs. Sanchez blushed, stroking my free hand with hers as a 'thank you'.

*Skipping dinner*

Dinner was over and my stomach was full. I ate a little bit of everything Mrs. Sanchez made, and it was dellicious. Since it was getting late, I decided it was time to leave. 'Thank you so much for having me' I thanked Mr. Sanchez. He chuckled and gave me a box. Okay then.. I turned around and searched for Mrs. Sanchez, who was boiling water for her tea. 'Thanks for everything, you're an amazing cook' She turned around and faced me with one of the biggest smiles I've had ever seen. She grabbed my hand and squeest it lightly while she spoke up. 'Thank you for coming over dear! Take care' I nodded and walked towards the hallway, with Zoëy right behind me. I gave Zoëy a little hug, and made my way outside. But when I walked out of her driveway, she called me back. I hurried myself back towards her front door, while Zoëy leaned on it. 'Thank you, for an amazing day and for, you know, being so nice towards my parents.. I can tell they like you' I smiled back at her. 'Its okay, they're cool' After that, it became quit. I swallowed hard, before I turned around again. 'Luke?' I heard her voice, calling me back again. I turned my head around, waiting for her to speak up again. 'I'll see you soon?' I smiled widly. What does this exactly mean? Does she really wants to see me again? Or is she just being friendly? I was confused, but extremly happy at the same time. All those butterflies started to fly again and I swear I could feel my cheeks heating up. 'I'll see you soon' And with that, I walked away, on my way home with a big smile on my face.

Zoëy's P.O.V

'I'll see you soon?' I asked him, while I nervously played with my fingers. I saw a smile on Luke's face before he answered me. 'I'll see you soon' After that, he turned around again and started to walk away. I closed the door behind me, and made my way back towards the livingroom. I sat down next to dad while mom brought me and herself some tea. When she sat down aswell, my dads voice spoke up. 'Its so weird to see someone we watched on youtube like everyday, now being friends with our daughter' We all laughed at his comment. 'I don't exactly know how we became so close, it just.. happened I guess' I spoke up aswell, reaching out for my hot mug. 'He is such an sweetheart, and I can tell he likes you Zoëy' Mom smiled at me. Luke likes me? We barely knew eachother.. But I have to admid, we became really close these couple of days.. and I'm enjoying spending time with him. I couldn't help but smile at her comment. It would explain why he stared at me like that when he fell on top of me. It looked like.. he wanted to actually kiss me. And one second, just one itty bitty second, I wanted to kiss him, too, I guess. But I'm so shy and insecure.. And I knew it was just too soon. I have to be sure if I really like him in that way. I have to find out.

Writers note: Hey guys! I'm sorry for updating late.. AGAIN.. I'm such a bad person. So I hope I can make it up with you with a little chapter :) What do you think? Will Zoëy fall for Luke anytime soon? And how will Beau react when he tells about today? One hint: he won't be too happy.. Oh and ignore my bad writings, I didn't checked it before I uploaded it.
