Lily's POV:

I glanced nervously down the road, seeing Luke riding up the hill towards me. His tee flapped in the wind, reminding me that I was wearing his sweatshirt. I glanced down at it, picking up the words, Nike with my fingers. Should I take it off? I pulled the sweatshirt up, exposing my thin tank top, I shivered. Nope.

"You ready?" I squinted in the sunlight. Was there something different about Luke's bike? I couldn't tell. I nodded, sighing a bit. Luke grinned, his dimples just begging to be pinched. If I didn't look at Luke, maybe I wouldn't be tempted to do anything stupid. I stared down at my shoes and nodded.

"Hey, you have to look at me," with his finger tips he lightly pulled my chin up to meet his passionate gaze. I became suddenly became puzzled. Why does he like me so much? Luke frowned, I bit my lip.

"Did I just say that aloud?"

"Yeah..."

"Can you answer the question because I really want to know."

"It's kind of hard to explain," he rubbed the back of his neck, nervously.

"Explain what?" I asked curiously.

"Okay so, when I was little, I had a huge crush on this girl. I don't even know why I like her, she wasn't pretty, smart, funny or anything. One day I gathered my courage and told her I liked her. I was let down hard. I don't exactly remember what she said but her words were cruel. That night I swore that I would never like a girl unless she was perfect."

"And I'm supposedly perfect? I have the most screwed up life any person could have!" Luke sighed, like explaining has difficult and treacherous.

"Well when I first saw you, I was blown away by your looks and when I talked to you, I remembered every word you said back. Anything you seem to do, seems perfect to me and I really like you...and I know you like me too."

I was speechless, I had no idea that Luke felt so much for me. My heart yearned to tell him that I wanted to be with him too, but I could never betray Nick, not when there's still a chance that he'll take me back.

"Can we just get this over with?" Luke sighed again and climbed onto the bike and patted the other seat in the back. So that's what's different about his bike, it's a Tandem bicycle. I climbed on to my seat and Luke pulled my backpack over his shoulder.

"Could I please-"

"No Lily, I'm carrying your backpack!"

"God, your stubborn!" We started to peddle and Luke led the way. The bike was actually quite fun and everyone stared at us and our strange bike. Luke stopped us at a small restaurant, locking up our enormous bike. As I walked to the door, Luke opened it for me. I muttered a quick thank you and walked inside. A lady asked if we wanted a booth or table.

"Table." Luke stated before I could say booth.

"I like booth's better," I whispered into Luke's ear as we followed her.

"Me too." Luke whispered back, I frowned what the heck? Than why would he want a table? The server led us to a puny table with two chairs opposite from each other.

"Here's your menus and your server will be right with you." Luke pulled out my chair and helped me in (even though I didn't need it), but it was really sweet of him.

"I presume, this is why you wanted a table?" I guessed, smiling a bit, what a gentleman.

"Also, I could be closer to you this way." I blushed, my heart pounding faster than a mouse (they have quick heart rates). I pulled my hair into a ponytail, hoping that I'd cool down.

"What are you going to order?" Luke asked, not even bothering to glance at the menu.

"I don't know," I peered down at the choices and smiled happily at my favorite.

"Chicken Carbonara."

"Great, we can share a large."

"Your like it too?"

"I always order it. See? Were soul mates." I tried not to smile.

"You know I don't like you."

"I know you like me, everyone does."

"Well aren't you a charmer."

"Pretty much, if I haven't been waiting for you for so long, I would've probably ended up like Jacob- a player."

"Please don't mention him when I'm happy." Luke immediately tensed up.

"Did he do something to you?"

"On the contrary, I did something to him and that affected me."

"Why are you grinning?" I asked, Luke was so queer, so why did that make me like him more?

"I just love the way you talk, on the contrary, I presume, it's so sophisticated, and perfect." I bit my lip, trying not laugh and smile.

"Are you always this straight forward? I thought the guys over here were more timid."

"That's mostly true, but Jacob and I? Not so much."

"Tell me about yourself" Luke asked.

"That's a topic that I would like to avoid... Like forever."

"Alright fine, I'll just have to annoy you later, but know I can tell you the wondrous life of Luke Ross!"

I laughed and decided that I'll enjoy this for now, while it still lasts.
