5:17 PM

"Oh my God, Luke, you're acting like you haven't eaten in days." Skylar laughed, nudging Luke's foot with hers from under the table.

They were currently at this little diner just a few blocks away from the hotel they were staying at and had just gotten their meals served to them, despite how many times Skylar tried to get Luke to go to McDonalds instead. But Luke insisted that they came here, because he wanted to take Skylar on a "propper date". She didn't argue with him any more after that, because she was too giddy over the fact that she was actually going on a date with someone like Luke.

Luke had ordered a cheeseburger - extra cheese, no lettuce - and was doing just as Skylar had said, eating like he hadn't seen food for days.

"Kissing you just works up such an appetite." Luke shrugged, winking back at Skylar. He picked up a napkin from the table and wiped off his mouth, that he had somehow managed to cover in ketchup.

"Oh, I'm sure it does." Skylar nodded, smiling as she looked down at her lap.

"We can kiss a little more later and test my theory out, if you want." Luke suggested, wiggling his eyebrows. Luke was a good kisser, Skylar didn't think she would even mind if they spent the whole night in the hotel room doing just that. Who cares about shopping and going out, Skylar just wanted to stay in and kiss Luke all night.

"Nah." Skylar joked, crinkling her nose at Luke as she took a sip of her drink. It was Root Beer, Luke ordered it for her because he remembered that it was her favorite from their game of 20 questions.

"Skylar," Luke gasped, putting a hand on his chest, mocking hurt. "I'm offended."

"You should be." Skylar teased him, sticking her tongue out.

"Eat your food, weirdo." Luke said, pointing to Skylar's plate in front of her. She had gotten a burger too - no cheese, extra lettuce - but she had hardly eaten since the food came to her table. She was just nervous, now that Luke was insisting that this was a date, she couldn't possibly eat when her stomach was swarming with butterflies.

"I am, I am," Skylar sighed, picking up the burger for a short second and taking the smallest bite she could possibly take.

Luke smiled as Skylar ate and stretched his legs out in front of him, wiggling his feet in between Skylar's. She liked when he did stuff like that, those little actions that showed that he just wanted to be closer to her. Skylar wished that she was as confident as Luke, she hardly ever did anything like that with him unless she was feeling extra bold, which was rare.

"Skylar," Luke sighed, resting his chin in the palm of his band, holding his head up by propping his elbow on the table.

"Luke," Skylar sighed in return, trying to mock him. She put her burger down and copied his actions, watching his eyes light up as he realized what she was doing.

"How long ago did we meet? Like, 12 hours, right?" Luke asked. He took his phone out from his pocket quickly and checked the time, ignoring all of the new messages and notifications he had, before putting it away again and returning his attention to Skylar.

"About 12 hours, yeah." Skylar shrugged. She hadn't even really thought about the fact that her and Luke only met that day, it didn't even really matter to her. She really liked his real personality, the one he hide from everyone else, and the way he treated her nicely. Skylar really didn't need much more than that to develop feelings for someone. She was the type to fall for any boy that was nice to her.

"This is weird." Luke laughed, glancing down at his plate.

"Why?" Skylar asked, suddenly insecure about everything. Luke was going to say that things were moving too fast, wasn't he?

"I've just never caught feelings for someone this fast, you know?" Luke asked, smiling at Skylar from across the table.

"Yeah, it's a little strange.." Skylar said, her voice fading out.

"It's okay though, right?" Luke asked, noticing her sudden change in moods once again. Skylar hated doing this to people, it was probably one of her least favorite qualities, but she didn't know how to stop. She would just start thinking too much and ruin everything. "Skybaby, don't do this to me."

"I'm sorry." She whispered.

"Hey." Luke almost shouted, slamming his hands down on the table.

"Sorry." Skylar said again, the word slipping out of her mouth before she could think of something else to say.

"Skylar!" Luke groaned.

"Sorry!" Skylar groaned back, not sure how else she was supposed to respond to what was going on right now. Leave it to Skylar to make things like this awkward.

"Sky, I was just trying to say that I really like you and I think it's funny that we happened to get together like this in just one day. Okay? Nothing bad, you have nothing to apologize for." Luke explained, calming Skylar down. He grabbed both of her hands, his fingers fitting perfectly between hers.

"Okay." Skylar nodded slowly, biting her bottom lip.

"Skyyyy," Luke groaned, dragging out her name. "You're such a cutie."

"Stop it." Skylar sighed, pulling away from Luke. She went back to poking at her food, still not eating much of it.

"I can't." Luke said, shaking his head. He folded his arms across his chest and leaned back in his seat, scowling at Skylar as she finished her meal.

"Yes you can." Skylar argued, taking a deep breath.

"I have a song called Don't Stop, Sky, I literally can't." Luke laughed, leaning forward again. He just couldn't seem to sit still.

"Really? Sing it for me." She tried one more time, still hoping that Luke would finally decide to sing something for her. She just wanted to hear his voice, she didn't think it would be the same until he did.

"No." Luke deadpanned, his smile slowly fading.

"Why?" Skylar asked, pouting again.

"Not here." Luke said. He glanced around the restaurant, taking in the amount of people that were in there for dinner.

"Luke." Skylar said sternly, crossing her own arms over her chest. She wished that he would just give this up and sing, it wasn't going to change anything between them, she didn't understand why it was a big deal.

"Later tonight, I promise." Luke assured her, nodding.

"You keep saying that." Skylar groaned. Luke kept promising Skylar things, and her biggest fear was that he wasn't going to be able to keep any.

"Sky." Luke said, his elbows resting on the tabletop again and his hands holding up his head.

"Luke." Skylar cracked a smile as she spoke, unable to resist how adorable he looked.

"Evans." Luke gently kicked Skylar under the table, his smile growing.

"Hemmings." Skylar shot back, kicking him in return. She still liked the little kicks and nudges and shoves. She liked how they still playfully messed around with each other, even when they had developed some new feelings for one another.

"You don't have a middle name so I can't use that. Shit." Luke muttered to himself, his eyes flicking away from Skylar's. He stared down at the table, trying to think of something else to say.

"Robert!" Skylar almost yelled, just because she thought it was funny that Luke hated his middle name so much.

"Hey!" Luke whined, his lips forming into a small pout.

"So - " Luke already knew that Skylar was about to apologize, so he cut her off.

"Are you done eating?" He asked, nodding towards her plate. It still had more than half of the burger on it and most of her fries, but Skylar wasn't planning on finishing any of it. Her nerves were too great to even think about food at the moment.

"Obviously, are you? No you're not, eat some more." Luke answered his question before even giving Skylar any time to respond to him, knowing what she was really thinking.

"I'm full." Skylar sighed, pushing her plate away from her.

"No you're not." Luke insisted. He pushed the plate back towards her, forcing her to finish.

"How would you know?" Skylar smirked at him. She rubbed her feet against his again under the table, causing Luke to let out a short giggle.

"Just eat some more, please?" Luke begged. Skylar was afraid that if she didn't start eating, Luke was going to pick up the burger himself and force her too.

"No, I'm full." Skylar shook her head. "I'm nervous, I can't eat."

"Why are you nervous?" Luke asked.

"You make me nervous. Dates make me nervous." Skylar said softly, hoping that Luke wouldn't hear what she had just let slip out of her mouth.

"Cutie." Luke giggled, "I'm not trying to make you nervous. Would you feel better if I told you that I'm nervous too? Because I am. I've never felt this way about a girl before."

"I've never really felt this way about a boy before. Well, I've really never felt any way about a boy before." Skylar laughed a little, shaking her head. "This the first time I've ever really liked someone."

"Then I'm glad, Sky. I'm glad to be your first." Luke smiled at her, standing up from his side of the booth so he could go pay the bill for their meals.

Skylar quickly finished the last of her Root Beer before getting up and following after Luke, running up behind him and grabbing his hand. She laced their fingers together and brought his arm closer to her, almost hugging it to her chest. Luke looked at Skylar and smiled, finishing paying the lady at the front of the diner.

"You're so clingy," Luke said as they exited the diner, Skylar still hugging his arm. "I love it."

"Thank you?" Skylar questioned, furrowing her eyebrows together.

Luke stopped walking and turned to Skylar, leaning down a little so he could tuck some hair behind her ear. Even with it tied up it still managed to get in her face, the hair falling in soft wispy strands in front of her eyes. Skylar often wished that her hair was different, because she could only imagine how annoying it must be for someone to talk to her while there's a ton of hair in the way.

"So..." Skylar trailed off, looking at her feet. "What now?"

"Sky, do you not remember?" Luke chuckled, staring down at her.

"Oh, right. Man with the plan." Skylar sighed, rolling her eyes at Luke. Of course he had something planned for tonight.

"Yes." Luke nodded.

"So this was dinner." Skylar said, gesturing towards the diner.

"Good observation, Sherlock." Luke sarcastically rolled his eyes, taking his hands away from Skylar and nervously shoving them in his pockets.

"I don't need your sass, Robert." Skylar snapped, and Luke shut his mouth immediately, pouting again.

"Are we going shopping now? Wait, shopping for what?" Skylar asked, looking around them. She was suddenly very confused, and wasn't sure why she hadn't bothered to ask what they would be shopping for in the first place.

"Oh, so you do remember my plan?" Luke asked, a sly smirk on his lips.

"Of course I do." Skylar laughed. She stepped forward and leaned into Luke's chest again, letting him wrap his arms around her body.

"So next is shopping, then what?" Luke asked, like he was quizzing Skylar.

"Out?" Skylar asked.

"Out." Luke nodded.

"But shopping first?" Skylar asked, tilting her head back again to look at Luke.

"Yes." Luke nodded. He grabbed Skylar's hands again and spun her around, so they were facing in the opposite direction and about to cross the street. Luke dragged her along with him, despite Skylar trying to ask more questions. "Come on, baby, the adventure continues."
