Text me your address and I'll come pick you up.
Cleo raised an eyebrow at Luke's text and started typing.
I have my own car,thank you very much.
she responded and waited for his response.
The crooked one?Let me just pick you up.Promise I won't stalk you afterwards. ;)

She chuckled at his response and rolled her eyes.

Fine.Pick me up in five.
Wellington 9.

She texted and smiled at her phone.

Got it. He texted back and she closed her phone.

She bit her lip and looked at herself in the mirror.She was neither overdressed nor underdressed.She didn't know the place they were going to..because Luke decided he was going to surprise her.

The doorbell rang after about 2 minutes and she opened the door to see him dressed casually.

<<M'lady.>>he said seductively stretching his hand and she rolled her eyes grabbing his hand.
She locked the door and followed him towards his black car.
He opened the door for her and she was pleasantly surprised by his gentlemanly actions.
The ride lasted twenty minutes,all of which had been filled with jokes and small talk.
After he parked the car he opened the door for her again,and covered her eyes with a silky red ribbon.

She laughed at his gesture and let him lead her to this mystery place.

When she opened her eyes..she was blinded by the colourful lights of a vintage restaurant.
It was filled with retro machines..like jukeboxes..flippers and had mini lava lamps in the middle of each table.

She had never been this excited before.
She consumed the images of the restaurant like crazy.

She turned around to look at him and he was already smiling.
They sat on a table and she continued to look mesmerized by the interior decor of the restaurant.

<<How did you find this place?>>she asked while continuing to admire it.

<<A friend of mine owns it.>>he said arrogantly and she turned around to look at him.

Wrong answer,pal.
She doesn't like people gloating about their connections and money.

<<Wow.>>she exclaimed...looking less amazed than before.

After that they talked,ate,talked again and Cleo kicked his ass playing the flipper.

<<Why are you so good at this?>>he joked and she laughed.

<<It's because you're so bad at this.>> she said and he chuckled.

He looked at her intently and she looked at him her heart beating fast.

He looked at her lips and she looked at his.The temperature was rising.
Their hearts were beating like one.
He started approaching her and she stepped back, continuing to look at his lips.

She changed her look at his eyes and cleared her throat.

<<I'm going to the jukebox.>>she let out and stepped away.

She put a cd on the jukebox and music started playing.She looked at it excited and her stare went back on Luke who was trying to contain himself.

She bit her lip and approached him.

<<Dance with me?>>she asked and he lifted his eyes to look at her.

<<It's my life>> by Bon Jovi was playing in the background.

He smiled and grabbed her hand.
He kissed it and looked at her.

<<Sorry darling...I don't dance.
Plus.. it's really late... we should get going.>>he said looking at her and she frowned.
She smiled fakely and grabbed her coat.
He payed the bill and escorted her towards the car.

Fast forward 20 minutes..and they were under her doorstep.

He was leaning in and had his hand next to her head.

<<I really want to kiss you right now, Cleopatra.>>he breathed heavily over her lips..and she bit her bottom lip.

She looked into his gorgeous face and back at his lips.

<<It's getting late...I should..get going.>>she said breathing slowly.

He licked his lips and looked into her eyes.

<<Yeah.. you're right.>>he said trying to compose himself.

<<Goodnight.>>he said hypnotised.

<<Goodnight..>>she said unlocking her door.

She entered her apartment and sighed.
She smiled and closed the door.

As his was driving ,Luke thought about the moment she asked him to dance.He would have loved to dance with her...but dancing ment more to him than it probably ment to her.He didn't want to fall for her...but he couldn't help but think of her smile on his way home.
He licked his lips as he thought about how close he was to kissing her.

In the meantime, Cleo was getting ready to sleep,when a notification made her phone light up.

When she saw the message,she immediately deleted and deactivated her phone.
Her fists clenched and she closed her eyes to calm herself.

Alyssa still hadn't called her,since their fight..but she tried to keep her mind out of it.

She lied down on her bed and open the TV...trying to fall asleep.

She continued thinking about the highlights of tonight and fell asleep with a grin on her face.

If only she knew her smile wouldn't last...
