Chapter 5

After talking to Luca, Cami comes home and I'm sitting on the couch with a cup of coffee staring off into space. Cami sits beside me and asks "You okay?" I look at her and say "Luca wants to take me on a date." She looks at me and smiles and asks "What did you say?" Looking at my coffee, I say "I said okay. He wants to show me that I'm wanted. Cami he told me everything that was running through my head without even seeing me." I tell her. "Maybe that's a good thing. He's a good guy." she tells me. Looking at the kitchen island she asks "Who's flowers?" Looking at them I say "Luca sent them to me." She smiles and says "Don't stress. He's a good one."

The next morning I wake up to a text from Luca.

L: Good morning Sweetheart.

A: Good morning Luca.

L: Just wanted to say I hope you have a good day today and can't wait to take you out tonight.

A: Be safe today. I need you whole. See you tonight?

L: See you tonight Beautiful.

I get ready for work and head out. The day goes by pretty fast and before I know it, it's time to head home and get ready for my date. I still can't believe I agreed to this. How could anyone want me? I put on a pair of form fitting jeans, a nice sweater and a pair of converse. I just finished my makeup when there's a knock on the door. "Abby. Luca's here." Cami calls out. I walk out of the bedroom to the living room to see him standing there in a pair of jeans, a pullover and sneakers. We head out to his truck and head out to our date.

"So, where are we going?" I ask. He takes my hand and kisses my knuckles and says "It's a surprise." I lace my fingers with his and he smiles. We pull up to this secluded beach. It's still light out. We get out of the truck and he grabs two blankets. Walking out to a fire pit, he starts lighting the fire as I put one blanket down to sit on. He walks over to me and sits on the blanket with me as the sun starts to go down. Wrapping the other blanket around his back, he pulls me between his legs and wraps it around us. Neither of us say a word. We just sit there, enjoying the sunset over the ocean and the warmth of the fire and each other. Once the sun goes down, I speak. "Thank you." I say. He looks at me and I look up at him and say "For this." He kisses my cheek and I turn to face him more. Taking his face in my hands, I lean forward and kiss his lips softly. He responds as we continue to kiss soft and slow. When we come up for air, our foreheads are together and he says "Be my girl." I look at him and he smiles softly and says "I want you to be my girl." I kiss him softly and say "Okay." I turn back around and lean against him as he wraps his arms around me again. It feels right.

Later that night, he takes me home and walks me to the door. Kissing me softly he says "I'll text you in the morning." I smile and say "I'll answer." He kisses me one more time before opening the door and seeing me in. Once I'm inside, he closes the door and heads home. I turn around with a huge smile on my face and see Cami standing there smirking. "I take it things went well?" she asks. "You have no idea." I tell her. "Well, damn, spill." she says laughing. We move to the kitchen and she pours me a glass of wine and I tell her about the date. "He took me to this little secluded beach and we watched the sunset. He lit a fire and we just sat there on a blanket with another one wrapped around us. I was between his legs leaned against him and we just talked. I kissed him." I tell her. " Good for you." she says. "He kissed back and asked me to be his girl." I tell her. "Please tell me you said yes." she says. "Duh. Have you seen him? He's hot. Sweet as hell but freaking hot." I tell her and we both start laughing. "Just enjoy it." she tells me before heading to bed. I send him one more text before heading to bed. Goodnight Luca. Thank you again for tonight. He texts back almost immediately. Pleasure was all mine. Goodnight Sweetheart.
