6_ kiss

(5 days later. June 8)

As usual, Luke picked me up and brought me to the office , but something about him was ticking me off.

He was acting nervous, as if the world would crush on him any minute.

"So Elly since when do you draw?" He casually asks , as he lowers the volume.

"Long time ago.." I answer, slowly moving my focus from the screen to his piercing blue eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He asks again, his curiousity evident in his voice.

"Not something I go telling everyone I encounter"

"Oh.." he sounds offended by my response, but tries to hide it.

"I didn't mean to offend you Luke, it's just something I keep to myself" I answer, my heart softening at this frowning 25 year old man.

"It's fine , don't worry about. Would like to go out tommorow?" He says in a cheerful way , that I miss the part were he asks me out.

I blink at him cluelessly, my mouth open. I probably look like a frog .

Luke actually asked me out .
Like I knew this was coming eventually, but I didn't expect it to be so shocking.

"So...?"

"Yeah , I guess that'd be nice" I answer back , still bewildered by the sudden questions. Luke smiles and , his cheeks flush to a light pink, bringing color to mine.

How is it possible, for this man to have such an effect on me?

The Next Day
Luke's P.O.V

I'm standing outside Elly's porch , fumbling with the flowers in my hand .

Yesterday after I asked her out things got a bit akward, so I dropped her off earlier than usual. We reached the front of her house , and I was so tempted to kiss her, but I had to keep calm or she'd probably cancel the date on me. So I told her I'd pick her up at 8.

So now I'm outside her house , and there's 3 more minutes to 8, and I'm nervous to ring the bell , because I don't want to look desperate, for coming 3 minutes and 43 seconds early.

I lose all patience and ring the bell. I hear some shuffling around the house, and someone opens the door.

I look at the small figure and it takes me a few seconds to realize this is Ashley, Elly's best friend.

"Hi" I mutter as I play with my lip ring between my teeth.

"Hi Hemmings" she invites me in , as she takes us to the living room.

Ella's house is so much different than I thought it would be.

Elly is a fun and colorful person, however the house is all white and black furniture, with barely a few frames on the wall, also in black and white.

I take I seat on the couch, and Ashley slides in in front of me , giving me a questioning look.

"So Ella's parents are not here, so I'm giving you the talk. If you touch her I'll kill you and if you break her heart I'll burry alive" the little women threatens, with such intensity in her eyes , that you actually shiver from her stare.

It's true when they say "small things have great power" , because she's creepy.

I nod and fumble with the roses in my hands , more than before.

"Stop scaring the guy , I can handle myself Ash" Elly answers from the staircase. She walks down gracefully, in black jeans , ripped at the knee with a tank top , topped with a flannel wrapped around her waist .

She looks flawless..

"Hi, beautiful" I great her , color rising in my cheeks.

"Hi to you too" she mumbles, a small grin playing on her red tainted lips, I so desperately want to kiss.

"Someone give me a barf bag!" Ashley gags from behind me , gaining an eye roll from Elly.

I extend my hand , offering her the roses, her eyes widen and I see a flash of awe in her eyes.

"Thank you that's the sweetest thing" she thanks me , and grabs the roses from my hand , taking a small sniff out of them .

"Give me those I'll put them in your room , now go have fun" Ashley insists, as she grabs the flowers from Elly and makes her way upstairs, winking at her best friend .

Elly giggles, and her cheeks turn the darkest shade of red , and I can't help but think of how beautiful she is .

"Shall we?" I ask, as I hook my arm to hers. She nods and let's me lead the way to the car .

~~~~~~

I stop the car in front of the park a few blocks away from our street. Elly goes to open her door , but I stop her , and get out to do it myself. She thanks me as she steps down from the car , planting a small peck on the cheek.

I open the trunk and grab the picknick basket I prepared, for tonight.

I close the trunk and take Elly's hand as we walk deep into the park , and reach the small pond , shimmering under the summer sunset.

I unpack the picknick and sit in front of her , mesmerized  by her .

"This looks great " she complements , as she stares down at the blanket, filled with sandwiches, chocolate covered strawberries, juice , cupcakes and cookies.

"Thank you , but if you don't like the food don't lie . I didn't do them" I joke.
She laughs and grabs a cookie, and I copy her , grabbing my own.

The night goes on , till it's 10 and she has 2 missed calls from her mom and 7 from Ashley. You'd expect a 20 year old woman to have more freedom.

We're sitting next to each other , infront of the pond , my arm around her shoulder, her head on my chest, and the view of the moon glistening on the water.

"This was actually and amazing date Luke, thank you"

"I'm glad you liked it  , because I want to do it again" I confess, as I look down to her , and she's already looking at me . Her brown eyes , suddenly silver under the sky.

I can't hold myself any longer, so I tilt my head closer, our lips breaths apart, as my forehead lays on hers.

"May I?" I ask, but it comes out as a beg. Elly blinks , her head moving in a nod, so I crash my lips to hers.

She kisses me back , her lips soft , and careful, moving against mine in a timid way. My hand finds itself to the back of her head, pulling her in closer.

We stop , to smile , her cheeks red , her eyes wild and a sort of glow to her smile , probably mirroring my looks.

"Well that kiss was well over do"
