Opposites Do Not Attract
A Surprising Twist That May or May Not Be Good
Ash’s POV
Luke parked his car. I had been trying to figure out where we were going for the entire car ride, but he just wouldn’t tell me. All I got was that we were going to be outside and alone. So, it couldn’t be a restaurant or cinema. But I didn’t know what else he could have planned. It was our first date, so it probably wasn’t going to be something big and romantic. But what else did teenagers do on dates? I didn’t know. This was my first one ever, but I didn’t think Luke knew that. I hadn’t exactly told him that he was the second person I ever kissed, or that I never went on a date before, let alone that I was a virgin. But he didn’t seem like somebody that would mind.
He quickly got out of the car and opened my door before I could. I laughed at his cheesiness, but got out of the car nonetheless. But something was confusing me. There was literally nobody around. The car was parked in an empty parking lot, there was an apartment complex on the opposite side of the road, looking like everybody was asleep and wouldn’t care about any noises. An orange eerie glow was coming from the streetlights, just barely places far enough to illuminate the entire sidewalk, and right next to us was a deserted park lacking of any light. Where the fuck were we! This was totally not a place I wanted to be on my first date! Was is too late to ask to go back home?
“Come on,” Luke grabbed my hand and started walking towards the park, “let’s go.”
To say I was freaking out was an understatement. I did not know what was going to happen and something was just telling me to leave, but Luke’s grip on my hand was so tight. There was no way I could run if I had to. Who knew what Luke had planned for us to do in that abandoned park! Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea… I didn’t know what he wanted to do… what he wanted to do to me… I should have insisted on knowing what we were doing before I actually agreed on going out with him. God! How stupid was I!
“Luke,” I mumbled, hoping that he couldn’t hear how afraid I was, “you’re hurting my hand.”
“Sorry,” he said and loosened his grip only a small bit, like he was afraid I was going to run away. He opened the small gate and still wouldn’t let go of me when we walked in. After quickly closing the gate again, he continued down the gravel path. Maybe it wasn’t going to be that bad, right? Maybe we just had to walk through the park to get somewhere else- wait. He diverted our route so we were going off the path and instead towards some trees and bushes.
“Umm, Luke, where are we going?” I chuckled nervously and looked around if I could see anybody. But this was the area of town that got deserted as soon as the sun started setting. And maybe there was a reason for that… a good reason.
He got closer to me and whispered in a deep voice before kissing my neck, “I told you, it was going to be a surprise.”
Oh god. Please, no. Please don’t. Why wasn’t I doing anything! This was the perfect place for him to rape-
He pushed past one last bush and what I saw in front of me was beautiful. There was a small lake shaped like a horse shoe, and an amazing white wooden gazebo. The whole small building was lit up by bright fairy lights, a fair share also hung up in the trees. Seeing this made the rest of the park seem so... fake. I would never have expected the rest of the park to be deserted and dark. But this, wow, this was amazing.
Luke walked us to the gazebo, where a blanket was placed with some food on it. He finally let go of my hand as we both sat down. If I had known we were going to sit on the floor, I wouldn’t have worn a dress. Now I had to sit with my legs to one side instead of being able to easily use both my hands and sit indian style. But that was the only thing that sucked. I just couldn’t stop looking around the place. What magical power did fairy light have? They managed to make anything look beautiful and surreal. This just made me like Luke even more, scrap me being afraid just a couple of minutes prior.
“How did you manage to do this,” I gasped while I looked at the light reflecting off the slowly rippling water.
Luke shrugged and took the bottle of coke, pouring two glasses, “one of my friends helps maintain this place, so he helped me set this up. I have connections.”
I giggled, “well, I think it’s amazing and I really love it.”
“I had to make sure this was the best date you’ve ever gone on,” he handed me one of the glasses before taking the cling film off the plate with sandwiches.
I took a sip of the drink, silently laughing at myself for freaking out before, “you could have literally done anything and it would have been the best date I’ve ever been on.”
“Oh, all the others been so bad?” he frowned and got more comfortable by shifting a bit.
“Never been on one before,” I smirked and sneakily grabbed one sandwiches that were now in the middle for us to eat.

After finishing all the food and laughing about random things, we put all the cups and plates to the side. This way we could shuffle closer to each other. We started off sitting next to each other, Luke’s arm behind my body, but slowly but surely we started lying down. So that was what we were doing now. I was lying on his chest, my arm on the other side of his neck, while his arm was now tightly wrapped around me. Sloppy kisses were being shared, and smiles were being returned. Part of me just didn’t understand why this amazing guy was here with me, while another part of me really didn’t want it any other way. I never felt like this before, but I really liked him.
“Were you being serious when you said that this was your first date?” Luke suddenly piped up in a calm voice.
I hummed in response, confirming that it was true, before sitting up and looking down at him, “what? Don’t believe it?”
He grinned up at me and brought his hand up, keeping it behind my neck, “I just don’t understand why boys don’t drool over a girl like you.”
“Oh, some of them do. It never happened back home, but when I came here, that all changed,” I rolled my eyes thinking about all the annoying guys that just didn’t understand the word ‘no’.
“Do I have to come to your school and beat some of them up,” he joked, chuckling himself, before pulling me down so our lips met, “ain’t nobody touching my girl.”
“So, I’m your girl now?” I raised an eyebrow but could help but grin at the same time. I never had somebody call me that, but it made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. It just made me feel special in a way.
“Well, I hope you’ll be.”
I nodded and leaned forward to make our lips touch again. It started off sweet and innocent, but in no time things were starting to get more heated. His tongue started exploring my mouth and I moved over further so I could straddle him. My fingers tangled in his soft brown hair, while his hands traveled to my waist. His touches felt amazing, but I had to stop what we were doing before we went too far. So, I broke our kiss and sat back up straight.
“Is something wrong?” Luke asked me, but didn’t take his hands off me yet.
“No,” I shook my head trying to think of the best way of telling him, “it’s just, umm, just, I’ve, umm, uh, I’ve never…”
He guessed, “never had sex outside before?”
I shook my head, but then stopped realising that that was also part of it, “well, yeah… but I’ve never had sex in general?” It came out more like a question than as an actual statement.
“Oh, I can deal with that,” he smiled at me, “we won’t do it now, don’t worry. I’ll be able to control myself.”
I was happy enough with that answer to start kissing him again. This guy was literally perfect.

Notes
So, how do you feel about Luke now? He still seems to perfect to be true, right? At least, I think so, but there is also a high chance of his actually being genuine. And I know this date seems so very cheesy and cliché, but I couldn't help myself. Luke is just that type of guy. And now I also know how difficult it is to write dates like this, respect to anybody out there who is able to do it. Because this chapter is complete and utter shit. But it will have to do... I really couldn't find out a way to make things better. I'm so sorry you have to life with this boring chapter. I'm so sorry. I physically cringe.
Anyway, I guess it's time for me to add a gif now...
Zack ripping off his shirt and Jack failing badly will have to make up for this shitty chapter. (Did I use it before???)
Better?
@Daydreamers
I happen to cringe xD
