Luce left early to the locker room, she showered and let her wet hair hang loose. she reapplied her make up and put on her skirt and blouse. she grabbed her bag and headed out the made it back to her dorm, her hair was dry and it hung to her waist in wavy ringlets. she sat on her bed waiting for Nora to get back.

"Luce! How was class? Mine was great , you hungry gets go get dinner."

" Sorry i cant, im having dinner... with Daniel" said luce

"What! Whos daniel? was he at the soccer party? " exclaimed Nora

" i met him when i was outside. we talked for a while , we have two classes together , and were having dinner." said luce

" Outside, you mean during the party"

luce smilled sheepishly

"Why didnt you tell me! you said you sat outside you never mentioned him, anything else i should know about ?"

"sorry i would have told you but i didnt think that i would see him again" said luce

Nora frowned." Ooh, okay i forgive you more importantly what are you wearing tonight ?"

Luce laughed and smiled at her roomate.

Luce left her room dressed in dark tights and a cream sweater dress that went to her knee high leather boots. her dark hair hung in ringlets to her back. it was dark outside with a cool breeze as she walked through the courtyard towards daniel who stood with a boquet of white peonies.

"how did you know those were my favorite?" asked luce as daniel handed her the flowers and she brang them to her face smelling their sweet fragrance.

"I figured they were," daniel smiled expectantly " Would you like to go out for dinner tonight?"

Luce raised her eyebrows " where?" she asked curiously

"Its a suprise" he said as he held out his arm for luce. she took his arm and smiled as he lead her to the parking lot. She froze when she saw his destination. A red and black sleak motorcycle, even still it looked fast. luce stared at it with wonder, curiosity , and fear. daniel stopped and turned to her. she forgot about the bike he was standing so close to her. she could feel the heat radiating off his body. she looked up into his eyes.

He looked into her eyes. " This okay?" he asked gesturing towards the bike

"Yes," she smiled confident trying to hide her terror

"Then lets go," he smiled at her and again grabbed her arm leading her to the bike. he grabbed something off the seat. he turned to her and brushed her her hair back. her heart stopped. he put the helmet gently on her head and fastined the strap inder her chin, his hands gently lingering, he pulled away he threw his is leg gracefully over the bike and started it, the engine reved with a deep growl. he grabbed his helmet sliding it over his head and turned to luce, who was still in the same spot frozen staring at the bike, with no doubt a mocking look on his face. Luce trying to be confident slid on straddling the bike. her arms looped around daniels waist. she felt the strong thick muscles of his stomach felt his deep steady breath,

"im ready" she called.

The engine snarled and took off, luce wrapped her arms tigher around daniel and snuggled in, afraid of falling. if she wasnt holding on so tight no doubt shed be shaking. she peered over daniels shoulder and saw the road ahead as he navigated the sleek bike. the cool breeze enveloped her as the wove at high speed. there were lights ahead of the town that got closer and closer. She closer her eyes enjoying the feel of the wind and the rumble of the bike beneth her. Her mind shifted, feeling the breeze she was in a sky of darkness strong arms around her, she looked down and saw city lights below, she was thousands of feet in the air with soaring through the night skies.

Her eyes jerked open when she felt the bike coming to a gentle stop. what was that, it felt like her dream last night. The remembrance of her dream make her shiver. She took a deep breath and looked around, and found then im front of a mexican resturant with a giant sombrerro on the neon sign. she laughed relieved the ride was over for now. She slid off the bike and laughed at her stiff legs from clenching them on the bikes seat. She pulled off her helmet as daniel slid off the bike. he pullled off his helmet and reached for hers as well. he placed them on the seat and walked around the bike towards luce.

He smiled at her, his eyes wide from the adrenaline of the bike, " I hope you can handle spicy"

she smiled as they walked in the resturant. the walls were lines with pictures of customers sitting eating smiled and looked at the walls and all the faces. The place was open seating and she started walking towards an open booth when daniel cleared his throat. luce turned around and saw daniel holding the door open to an outside balcony with tables. She walked through the open door out to the patio and saw no one else was out her she turned to daniel

"are we aloud to be out here?" she asked.

he walked to a small table near the corner and held out the chair for luce, "of Course" he said smiling

luce sat down and daniel pulled the chair next to her and sat

the waiter came out and took there orders and brought them drinks, luce sipped her drink as daniel talked and asked her questions about her life, where shes been, all the little things about her, he asked so many questions she felt like she was talking too much. She must be boring him, but the smile and interest in his eyes kept her talking. the most embarassing was when he asked about her past relationships. she blushed and looked down.

"what?" he asked "ok who was your first love"

she blushed deeper, first? how many times has he been in love "I havent had a first love" she said quietly

"are you embarassed?" he questioned "I've never been in love either luce."

"oah" she said feeling less embarrased

she looked up, and foudn herself staring into his eyes, her cheeks were again getting hot but she couldnt look away. she didnt know how long they had been staring at eachother, when heard a wisper of a voice in the back of her mind "I love you Luce, And I will always find you" her mind snapped back , and she blinked rappidly. When she refocused daniel had the same expression she had, he blinked and opened his mouth to ask,,

" heres your food dears" said the waiter as she placed the steaming plates in front of them

"thank you" said luce

"enjoy" she said as she sashayed away

she looked back at daniel, his face was deep in thought, he looked as confuzed as she was. He looked back up at her and smiled

"Whats your favorite color?" he asked
