Luke

When I hear footsteps approaching, I look up and the anticipating tightness in my chest intensifies at the sight of Heather approaching me. I straighten where I’m standing, pushing myself away from my car as I take in the nervous smile on her lips and the excited glint in her eyes as she nears me. Every step she takes toward me makes my blood pump faster and faster, taking in the view of her in skintight jeans, a top just as tight tucked in, and an oversized leather jacket over it as the small heels of her boots click against the pavement.

The lamp posts of the parking lot make her light brown eyes glimmer, her skin pink and glowing, and with her hair falling down in loose waves, she is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I’m fairly certain I won’t be able to go this entire night without touching her in some kind of way.

“Hey,” she greets with a smile, her tone easy going despite the nervous tilt of her mouth. Heather’s eyes give me a once over and her smile widens a little as she meets my gaze and says, “You look good. Unsurprisingly.”

My mouth curls up, and I can finally say some of the things I’ve been killing myself not to say to her. “You look beautiful. Unsurprisingly.” The pink in her cheeks deepens, my own smile widening a little as I step aside and open the passenger door to my car. “Let’s go.”

After she gets in, I shut the door and walk to the other side, blowing out a quiet breath as I still try to reconcile the fact that this is happening. But the thrill and relief that this is reality is overwhelming; how long have I been waiting for this? To finally get out of my own head and out of my own way to take Heather on a date—hell, to kiss her that night at the football game—it’s something I have wanted for so long. Now that it's happening, it still feels surreal, but I’m not about to get into my own head about it and screw things up.

We decided to go out on a night we knew Connor would be busy. Admittedly, sneaking around behind his back isn’t ideal and brings forward some feelings of guilt. But I have finally accepted that my feelings for Heather are stronger than the remorse I could feel. I want to see where this thing with Heather can go before bringing Connor into it.

But it’s Heather. I already know that there’s no chance I could let go of her; not after I’ve already had a taste—not after tonight.

So here we are, behind her brother’s back—but not entirely without support. Unsurprisingly, Heather told Josie about it, and I found myself telling Nathan. It honestly didn’t feel right asking Josie to keep a secret from her boyfriend. Plus, I’ve talked to Nathan before about my feelings for Heather, and when I told him about this date, he’d been supportive.
