It was Saturday. Which was a good thing because Luce was sure she would not have been able to concentrate on her classes right now. She had woken up and what was going to happen later came rushing back to her. A blinding smile came to her face just thinking about it. Her phone suddenly beeped and she jumped to get it.
It wasn't Daniel but it was the next best person. Luce's big sister Katerina or Katie as she was called.
K: hey Luci. How's college going? Call me soon I have something to tell to you. I think you'll like it. Luce had been so swept up in meeting Daniel that she had actually forgotten to call Katie
She decided to fix that now. Hitting number 3 on her speed dial, she pressed her phone to her ear.
"Oh so my baby sister hasn't forgotten about me" a voice laughed from the other end. Luce chuckled but a flicker of guilt ran through her.
"Hey Katie"
"Hey" "so how you liking Emerald College?"
"Its great classes are good and…..I have a date tonight" Luce told her.
"What?" Katie squealed Luce could picture her jumping up and down. "Who is he? What's he like? How did you meet?" "I want details" Luce laughed.
"His names Daniel, he's the captain of the swim team here…. He's absolutely amazing. I meet him out in the courtyard getting some air from a party" Luce told her. Katie chuckled
"You must really like this guy"
"Is it that obvious?" Luce muttered
"Only because I know you so well" "I can tell by your voice" Katie told her. Luce sighed with a small smile.
"Hey didn't you have something to tell me?" Luce suddenly remembered.
"Oh yes go and open your door." Luce did only to find a smiling Katie and her boyfriend Chris waiting outside.
"What are you guys doing here?" "how did you get here?" Luce squealed happily, running into Katie's arms.
"What? You didn't think we would come and see you at some point Katie asked, "we got your room information off Mum and Dad, who by the way are also dying to hear from you" she kissed the top of Luce's head then stepped back so Chris could hug her.
"How you doing little one?" he asked lifting her off the floor and spinning Luce round. Luce laughed
"I can't tell you if you're spinning me around" she chuckled. Chris put her down.
"Come in come in" Luce told them both ushering them into her dorm.
"So what's this I hear about you going on your first date tonight?" Chris asked as he sat down in Luce's computer chair.
"Calm big brother I already have Nora and Katie on Daniels case" "no need for you to get protective as well" Luce told him. Katie put her arm around Luce's shoulders where they were sitting on the bed.
"It is our job as your big sister and brother to be protective of you" she murmured Chris nodded firmly in agreement. "So where is Daniel taking you?"
"I don't know he hasn't told me" Luce answered. Chris narrowed his eyes.
"Oh Chris it's not like you told me where we were going on our first date" Katie reminded him. "He probably wants to surprise her"
Chris had to agree with that. At that moment Nora walked into the dorm. "Hey Luce who's this?" she asked.
"Oh Nora this is my older sister Katie and her boyfriend Chris" Luce introduced "guys this is my roommate Nora"
"Hi" Nora said
"Hi" Katie and Chris said back. Nora went to sit on her bed. "So has Luce told you about her news yet?"
"About Daniel and her date?" "Yes" Katie answered
Luce gave a small smile "I'm really glad you're here Katie you can help me and Nora pick an outfit"
Katie smiled excitedly "I wouldn't miss it for the world"
"Does that mean that you are not glad that I'm here?" Chris asked. Luce chuckled.
"You know I am but do you really want to stay and help us big brother?" Luce asked. Chris shook his head.
"Nope as you know I have barely any fashion sense I will leave you in Katie's capable hands" That set everyone laughing.

Later that night Luce sat in front of her mirror as Katie did her make up. It wasn't much, just some eyeliner, as Katie as had always maintained that Luce looked better without make up and Luce hated it anyway. After her makeup was on Katie did her hair. Pinning half of it up with a clip that had tiny sliver gemstones around the top.
"OK I think you're done" Katie said softly Luce stood up and took herself in. She was wearing a cornflower blue sleeved dress which made her black hair stand out. The dress went to just below her knees so it wasn't too short. Chris would approve. Black eyeliner was around her hazel-green eyes. And her gemstone clip completed the look.
Luce turned to Katie "how do I look?" she whispered
Katie had tears in her eyes. "You look absolutely beautiful Luci"
"Hey don't cry" Luce told Katie softly. Katie gave a small smile
"I'm sorry it's just…this is your first date, my little sister is growing up".
Luce wrapped her arms around Katie "I was always be your little sister" she whispered.
"I know" Katie whispered back pulling back slightly to kiss Luce's forehead. "Come on Daniel will be here soon"
The two girls left the bathroom. Nora was sitting on her bed waiting for them, she gasped when she saw Luce. "You look beautiful Luce." Luce looked down with a small smile.
"thanks." There was a knock at the door and butterflies exploded in Luce's stomach.
"I'll get it" Nora told her. Nora pulled the door open "hi Daniel"
"Hi Nora is Luce ready?" Daniel asked
"Yup" Nora gestured to Luce and moved out of the way of the door. Daniels jaw dropped when he saw Luce.
"Hi" Luce said softly. The sound of her voice seemed to snap Daniel out of it.
"Hi" "you…..you look amazing." He told her. Luce blushed.
"Thanks so do you" Luce told him taking in Daniels dark blue shirt and black pants. Daniel smiled and held out his hand out.
"Shall we go?" Luce nodded and took his hand. As always warmth spread through her where their hands touched.
"Have her back at a reasonable hour ok?" "I don't want my sister staying out to late" Katie called.
Daniel nodded "don't worry I'll take good care of her I promise" he told Katie before Leading Luce down the hall.
Luce followed Daniel to his car and smiled as he held the door open for her. "So where are we going?
Daniel smiled "you'll see"
Daniel drove them to a small Italian restaurant. "I've never been here before" Luce said as the climbed out, Daniel smiled.
"It's one of my favorite places to eat" he told her. Before Luce knew it they were sitting at a table with menus.
"You can get whatever you like Luce" Daniel said Luce nodded already eyeing up the mushroom ravioli.
The waitress soon came back with their raviolis and they started eating.
"So that was your sister who told me you had curfew?" Daniel asked. Luce nodded
"Katie, she's eighteen like you, she and her boyfriend who's pretty much my brother came to see me"
Daniel smiled "she seems nice"
Luce smiled "she's one of my favorite people in the world she's always been there for me"
They ate in silence after that until they had finished. Luce noticed Daniel looking toward the small dance floor.
"Would you like to dance?" he asked standing up and holding out his hand. Luce smiled nervously.
"I don't know Daniel I'm not that good of a dancer" Daniel smiled
That's ok you just need a good leader". After another moment of hesitation Luce took his hand.
Daniel spun her around gently and soon Luce forgot her worries. She remember what Katie had said when she and Chris where teaching her to dance. You just have to relax into it. It's just you and the guy you're dancing with, there's no one else in the room. Luce found it easy to just focus on Daniel.
"Come on I better take you home" Daniel whispered suddenly. Luce hadn't realized it was after ten already.
They didn't talk as Daniel walked her back to her dorm. Luce lent against the door. Daniel lent toward her the hand that wasn't holding hers braced against the door.
"I had a great time tonight Daniel" she whispered
"Me to" he whispered back. Their faces were so close Luce could see the grey flecks in Daniels violet eyes. There was a silent question in them. Luce smiled and didn't move away as Daniels lips brushed hers softly. The kiss wasn't hard and pushy. It was sweet and soft and Luce didn't want it end.
Daniel pulled away slowly and smiled at her "I'll see you tomorrow" he whispered. Luce nodded with a smile. Daniel walked away and Luce turned to go inside a smile glued to her face and her lips tingling.
There we go. Their first date and kiss! I did wonder weather to put the kiss with their second date but my muse said no. The song I imagined them dancing to is 'I Knew I Loved You' by Savage Garden which I do not own either. It just screams Luce and Daniel doesn't it? I hope you liked Katie and Chris I was excited to introduce them. Hope you like this chapter guys. Review please?
