Summer Love

T W E N T Y -O N E // Blind Date part 2

This feels like a freakin' movie scene. So romantic, dramatic and... It just feels surreal. Never in my entire life did I expect to be in this situation. Having a world famous musician come all the way here, to the Philippines, just to surprise me.

He offered a seat to me as soon as we let go of each other from the hug. We were just staring at each other again. This time, I was the first one to make a move.

"So... Who the fuck thought of this idea?" I asked.

He bowed down his head and raised his hand then said, "Me."

"Really? Not my friends, not my parents? They didn't force you to come, did they? I'm so sorry if they did. I could go, if you don't really want to do this. I'll just tell 'em a fake story about how it went-"

"No, no, no. Stacey, stop." He said as he put his hand on mine. "I swear, this really was my idea. In fact, I was the one who had to do a little forcing cause your parents thought it was too much for me to do." He continued.

"Wow, that's the first time i heard my parents giving in to someone forcing them. They're like the most stubborn people I know."

"I wouldn't be surprised, knowing their kid."

"Hey!!! I'm not stubborn!!" I frowned.

"You're being stubborn right now." He stuck his tongue out at me. How dare he...

I pretended to walk out but he caught my arm so fast. I twirled and landed in his chest. "You're so cute when you're being stubborn." He said as he was hugging me and he kissed my forehead. I couldn't help but smile. He lifted me up and put me back in my seat. "You just sit right there, sweetie. Please. I didn't come here for nothing. And besides, didn't you miss me?" He said, batting his eyelashes.

"Well, I did. But now that you're being so mean, I think I don't miss you so much anymore. I don't remember you being this mean."

"I was just kidding!! I'm sorry. Okay, I'll be serious now." He said with the straightest face.

I burst in laughter cause he looked so cute, struggling to look serious.

"So does that mean you forgive me???"

"Yeah, now let's eat dinner." I giggled. He smiled like an idiot.

We talked all night about going to college, meeting new friends, touring, recording and making new music, stressing out on different things, and pretty much everything else. He told me college sounds exciting and he wants to experience it someday. I told him it may not be the best idea cause he'll probably just get mobbed every time.

"I trust my fans. I know they'll respect me and support me in what I want to do. I don't think they'll want to hinder me from anything, you know. And besides, a few photos and hugs here and there probably wouldn't hurt." He said.

I admired him for treating his fans that way. For being so kind. His relationship with them seems so sincere. It's like he's known each and everyone of them to have that kind of trust and understanding of them. He makes me believe that it's possible to be in love with someone you've never even met and to just trust that everyone is deserving of love.

"Thank you for this night, Luke" I stopped while we were dancing and just looked him in the eyes.

"You're welcome. And thank you, too." He pushed my hair back then kissed me on the cheek. It made me giggle.

"What's so funny? You think it's funny when I kiss you?" He smiled then kissed me again and again all over my face. It made me giggle even more.

"No," I put my hands on his face to stop him "I just think it's cute how you-" He suddenly took my hands off his face and put his on mine. He directed my face towards his so our lips could touch. They felt so perfect together. Our lips were moving at just the right pace. He was such a good and passionate kisser.

I could get used to this.
