Chapter 9 Chapter nine

  Lucy's POV

  Asa has another surprise for me today. He is full of surprises, always keeping me guessing.

  It's 6:00 p.m., and we are heading to his big black truck, all dressed up for the date. He said to wear something casual, and easy to move in.. whatever that means.

  He said he didn't want this to be super formal, so when we pulled up to a small diner in the heart of town, I understood the casual clothing. We hop out of the truck, and make our way in. We sit ata

  booth near the window, me liking to zone out and watch people walk by.

  I order a hotdog and fries, while Asa orders a large bacon cheeseburger. We both get waters to drink. I don't like soda, but I haven't had the luxury of having it since I was a child.

  We eat, Asa occasionally talking about himself or his life. He tries to ask questions about me, but I refuse to respond, not wanting to talk with all these people here.
