Mr. Popular & I | L.H. (On Hold)

3: The Date

I closed and locked the door after I saw Luke jogging down the street. I put my back to the door and slid down to the floor.  I am freaking out! Did Luke Hemmings ask me out?

Woah! I must be dreaming, I start pinching myself to see if it was a dream, but it was real.

*Three days later*

It's finally Friday, that means tonight is date night with Luke. I am so excited and nervous.

Luke dropped me off and I ran inside and upstairs and started  digging through my closet. Finally ,I found a casual and simple dress:  a navy one with bows in the back and ends just above the knee, a black belt and navy flats. Since Luke didn't tell me where we are going, I kept it "casual". I showered and let my hair damp so it dries naturally. My hair isn't naturally straight, it's wavy. I put on minimal makeup: some eyeliner, mascara and lip gloss and put on my contact lenses.

I got dressed and when I finished my phone beeped indicating a new text message from:

-Luke is sexy-

~Babe I'm here, let's go and have some fun! L ;)~

I quickly tapped a reply smiling from ear to ear looking like a Cheshire cat.

-Athena is way cooler than you'll ever be-

~I'll be down in a minute, Hemmings xx- A~

Luke was nervous, his palms began sweat as he waited for Athena to walk out. He waited for five minutes in the porch when the door swung open revealing Athena like he'd never seen her before...

Back to first person's P.O.V.

I hit the send button. I opened my purse and threw my lipgloss in and my phone too.

I walked downstairs and opened the door, Luke was standing in the porch just staring at me like he'd seen a ghost.

-Are you okay?- I asked uneasy.

-Yeah, I'm fine, it's just that WOW, you look beautiful- I blushed at Luke's words. He looked absolutely stunning. He had a blue polo, black skinny jeans, and his Vans. His hair was styled as always a quiff making his blue eyes visible and he took out his lip ring. He took my breath away, I know cliché and all, but he was my crush since fourth grade. I still don't know why he's taking me out in our senior year.

-Enjoying the view?- I didn't realize I was staring at him. -Here, these are for you.- He handed me a bouquet of white lillies. Aww, oh God I'm blushing! Stop it, Athena.

-Thanks Luke, these are beautiful.-

-Not as beautiful as you.- He whispered in my ear and my heartbeat rose. I kissed his cheek thanking him again for the flowers.

After I locked up the house, we walked to his black truck. He held open the passenger's door for me to climb in. He shut my door and jogged to the driver's. He climbed on and shut his door, put the key in the ignition and twisted it for the truck to come to life.

Instantly I recognized the song playing, it was Wake me up when September ends by Greenday.

I love that song.

-Oh, sorry, I'll change it- He said just before I swatted his hand away from the radio.-Don't, I love this song!-

-Summer has come and past, the innocent can never last...- I started singing along. I never told anyone I can sing, it was the first time I sang in front of someone, not even Kim knew. Luke was surprised to hear me sing, but quickly composed.

-Wake me up September ends- he joined me singing, I never thought he could sing.

-Like my father's come to pass, seven years has gone so fast, Wake me up when September ends-.
