Chapter three

I know it is hard to believe but this is the first time that I have actually been to the movies alone with a guy. Strange, I know. But you do not know my parents, they are the most conservative and strict people that I know. They trust me (or so they say) but not enough to go on dates. As a result I have never had a boyfriend, all my time was spent on studying though I sometimes managed to sneak some time to meet my friends. Like today, they think I have lectures and practical work, they do not know I am meeting Lina. But hey what they don’t know won’t hurt them right?

Sitting in the theatre with Luke, my heart was racing a thousand miles a minute…. Okay maybe not a thousand, but you know what I mean. He had bought us one large popcorn and some drinks, I wanted sparkling water, whilst he got orange juice.

Reaching for some popcorn, my fingers met his and the tingling started all over again. This time before I could pull my hand away, he grabbed it and squeezed it, taking it to his lap. OH MY GOD!!

I turned to look at him questioning him with a frown and all I saw was a huge grin on his face and he started rubbing circles on my hand with his thumb. How the heck am I supposed to concentrate on the movie if he keeps me distracted like this?

“You are not very comfortable with me holding your hand, are you?” Luke whispered in my ear, causing a shiver to run down my spine.

Hmmm, Can I even respond to this, I am all tongue tied. “Uhh, not really, Like I told you before this is the first time I have done something like this” I whispered back. Luckily the cinema was not full or we would be receiving strange looks from people.

Releasing my hand Luke said “ Sorry I don’t mean to make you uncomfortable.”

“It’s ok. I am just nervous. I have never gone to the movies with a guy before, that’s all” I replied wishing he would take my hand again.

“What’s wrong with all the guys in this place? Are they blind or stupid?” he murmered in my ear. God if he carries on talking in my ear, I am never gonna be able to watch the movie.

“What do u mean?” he can’t mean what I think he does, can he?

“You are beautiful, smart and funny. So why have the guys not been asking you to the movies?” ok he did mean what I thought he did.

“It’s me, I always so no. Very strict parents and I still live at home, so it makes it difficult to date.”

“Then I am indeed honoured Milady that you have accepted my invitation. May I be so bold as to hold your hand?” he asked in a very posh accent causing me to giggle and I then gave him my hand.

Don’t ask me what happened in the rest of the movie, I could not concentrate to save my life, although I do not think he watched the movie either. Every time I sneaked a glance at Luke, I would find him looking at me with such an intense look that his eyes changed colour.

Still holding hands we walked out the cinema and made our way towards the beach entrance. “What do you wanna do next?” Luke asked me.

Looking at my watch, my heart dropped and I realised it was time for me to leave. “I really have to go,” I replied sadly, realising this wonderful day was coming to an end.

“Why? It is still early? I will escort you home later” he replied.

My goodness the charm that this boy has, makes my heart goes fluttering. “ As tempting as that sounds, I really cannot. I have to go to a family function later and I need to go and get ready, besides if my parents saw you dropping me off.... not a good idea”

“Are you ashamed of being seen with me?” he asked with a hurt puppy dog look.

“Ashamed? You have got to be kidding. It is more like you would be ashamed of me when you see how my parents behave. Besides I am not supposed to be out, It’s a long story will tell you about it sometime.”

“Great, That means I get to see you again.”

“Duh, you will see me in school next week.”

“Hmm, about that, I’m not actually in your school.... I kinda snuck in your lecture.... It’s a long story”

What the F*** . What does he mean he snuck in? My heart started going in every direction to make sense of this. But one thing was certain I wanted to see Luke again. The question is Will I see him again?
