Chapter 5: Sarah’s POV - romantic growth/intimate scene

I watch Luke take the items out of the picnic basket and set them on the table. I don’t know how I feel about the moment that’s just passed. The first kiss had me falling into a river. This one has me reeling. If I hadn’t taken him by surprise with that ass squeeze, who knows where this might have gone.

Does he really have feelings for me? Or is he roused by the heat of the moment, us in that tiny laundry room with all the attraction between us. We both know it exists. I don’t deny that. But does it also exist for him? I know the physical part must be there. I felt his dick get hard against me when we kissed. Is that all this is though?

I watch him set the table and notice that this isn’t the typical picnic. He has silverware, cloth napkins, a couple of beers from a local spot in a cooler pouch in the bag, an the meal is a real meal. He’s setting out a pasta salad, bread that looks and smells homemade, a little bowl of fresh cut fruit, and a block of some fancy looking cheese with a small cutting board and a cheese knife.

“This is beautiful, Luke.”

“What did you expect?” He says with a sideways glance my way.

“Honestly? I figured you’d bring a couple sandwiches and some chips. This is a very pleasant surprise.”

He sits down and starts filling up his plate, “You’re not giving off a ‘this is pleasant’ kinda vibe, Sarah. What’s going on?”

I sigh and look down at the fruit and bread already on my own plate. I push the fruit around while I avoid the question. When I look up, he’s staring at me like he intends to stay frozen there until I answer his question.

“It’s just,” I don’t know how to word this without sounding weird, “I wasn’t expecting…you.”

He laughs and I look back down at my food.

“What do you mean, me?” He says between laughs.

“I mean, I thought you were some random barfly or a townie I could have a fling with before school starts back up. I just got out of a long relationship. I have clinical rotations coming up and applications for my internship. I can’t let anything distract me.”

He takes a moment to finish chewing and then swallow, “Oh, I’m a distraction now.”

“After that kiss?”

“I see what you mean.”

We both eat in silence for a few moments and then he speaks up again,

“Sarah, I didn’t expect this either. It’s more than a distraction for me. I’m finding that I have feelings for you. I have so much to deal with when it comes to my family and my team but with you, I don’t know, I feel different. Like…” He trails off.

“- like coming home,” I finish his thought, knowing that it’s the same as my own.

He breaks the next silence,

“Let’s take this out on the porch. Grab your beer. You’re gonna love the view.
