Love Story: Thalia and Luke

2

He had finally gotten her to go out on a date with him. She had finally agreed after he begged her and beggared her for months on end. He had decided that they should go on a casual first date so he decided to take her to a boardwalk that was full of things to do.

"So what do you want to do?" he asked her.

"I'm kind of hungry." She shrugged.

"Cool we could get some hotdogs or something." Luke suggested.

Thalia wrinkled her nose, "Hotdogs?"

"Or chili cheese fries." Luke said knowing that Thalia loved chili cheese fries.

She grinned, "Now you're talking."

They found a little restaurant that sold the best chili cheese fries Luke had ever eaten. They ordered some of those and a burger for each of them. Luke looked over at Thalia who was looking out the window at the water.

"Something wrong?" he asked.

She looked at him and smiled, "Of course not."

"You seem a little dramatic." He said.

She laughed, it was a light laugh that made Luke's heart flutter a little whenever he heard it, and smiled at him, "Dramatic?"

Luke nodded, "Just the way you were looking out the window."

Thalia smiled at him, "Nope I'm totally fine."

"So how are the fries?" he asked.

"AMAZING!" she grinned.

"I knew you'd like them." Luke smiled.

Dinner was good and soon enough they were walking along the boardwalk eating ice cream cones from Luke's favorite ice cream parlor.

"So what made you agree to finally go out on a date with me?" he asked her.

She looked over at him and grinned, "You were practically begging me."

"I was not!" he blushed.

"But you were and I thought it was cute." She smiled.

Luke wrapped an arm around her waist. He thought about them together as a couple and smiled. Maybe he made the right choice with the casual first date.

"So would you ever agree to a second date?" he asked her.

"You can pick me up of Friday at five, I have tickets for a movie." She smiled.

Luke grinned, "You actually like me."

She rolled her eyes, "Of course I like you."

Luke and Thalia walked down the boardwalk hand in hand licking ice cream cones and talking about things while they watched the sunset. Luke had to admit, this was probably one of the best moments of his life.
