Her long blonde locks swayed with the wind as she stepped through the entrance of the quaint restaurant. The attendants at the door welcomed her warmly and Lucy smiled at the gesture.
"I'm here on a reservation under Cana Alberona." She asked while her eyes scanned the dimly lit interior of the place.
"Right this way, ma'am." The attendant answered as she led the way.
They passed by a few couples; some were eating amiably while others were talking intimately as they waited for their food.
Cana was right when she told her that she needed to get out of her apartment once in a while. Her career as a novelist was making her live like a hermit that she was missing out so much on what's happening beyond her own little world – like how her city had a beautiful restaurant such as this that she never knew of.
Her eyes continued to marvel at the old-English like decors – making a mental note to include a scene like this on her next novel.
Once they reached her seat, the attendant left her with a small bow as she exited gracefully to accommodate the other arriving patrons of the place.
Her friend really knew how to set a perfect date night - a table at the far end of the room (hidden from possible eavesdropper and onlooker) with a view of the majestic city landscape behind the glass window as their backdrop.
"Good evening Miss." A smooth baritone voice said from behind.
Lucy whipped her head at the sound and her jaw almost dropped on the floor when she saw the man that was supposed to be her date tonight.
His unruly hair had the shade of orange and yellow that perfectly suited his handsome face. He also sported a pair of black rimmed glasses that complimented his alluring midnight orbs. The long-sleeved polo shirt he wore had the top button left unopened – making him appear cool and casual.
He simply looked too good to be true.
Perhaps this man approached the wrong table? After all, Cana did tell her the other day that Loki (the name of her date) looked absolutely normal like the other guys around town.
However, this man was nowhere near normal – at all.
"Lucy, right?"
"Lo-ki?" she asked stuttering his name.
"Yeah." The man replied as he handed Lucy a bouquet of flowers.
It really is him!
The blonde extended a hand and said 'Thank you' before Loki settled on the chair across from her.
This was by far the best date in her entire existence. The man was so gorgeous that Lucy suddenly felt embarrassed with her seemingly average self even in her favorite black mini dress.
"Cana was right when she told me you were beautiful."
"Um... Thanks... You look good too." She shyly replied.
"Let's order our food, shall we?"
-0-
The food was delicious. It suited Lucy's taste buds so well that she inwardly promised to visit the restaurant again.
"Have I told you that you look so beautiful tonight?"
"Yeah. A lot of times already." Lucy ended with a small chuckle.
"Well, I can't help it. You've got me at first sight." The man reached out his hand to cover her own. "I really like you."
Her heart skipped a beat at the contact and she almost withdrew her hand (out of fear that he might feel the coldness in it) if not for his firm and reassuring hold on hers. She had to thank Cana later for setting her up on this date. Finally, her single status at the ripe age of twenty-five had found its purpose.
Loki clearly resembled the man of her dreams and she was glad to have waited this long to meet him.
He made her laugh, he made her feel comfortable and he made her feel special- if she got him at first sight, then for Lucy, it was love at first sound.
His baritone voice gripped her – completely and without escape.
"Loki?" she asked; mustering up the courage she tried to build up during their entire meal.
"Hm?"
"I don't think I'd want this night to end."
He eyed her; studying and reading her actions. Did she just suggest they spend the night together? Not that he would refuse because the mere idea of holding her in his arms was making him feel excited. If she wanted this, so did he.
"Me too." He replied softly with one of his fingers slowly pushing the brim of his glasses upward.
"I... I..."
"I know. And I wouldn't think less of you because I also want it too."
Lucy lowered her face to fight the blush that was slowly creeping up her cheeks. Just this once, she wanted to do it with this man – to bury this memory of him not just in her mind but with her body. It may sound crazy, but with the way Loki captivated her, she was starting to want and yearn for things she normally wouldn't be even thinking of. At least, if she did it, she would do it with the man she imagined to have all her life.
(Leap of faith.)
"Come with me Lucy-" He said while taking her hand near his lips for a quick kiss, "- and I'll show you what it's like to be in heaven."
Thanks for reading and I'm hoping to hear your wonderful feedback/comments/criticisms/thoughts.
hugs and kisses,
