Stiles's Pov

I slept, again.

The entire ride, Luke still hasn't told me where he's taking me for our second date, I had fallen asleep.

I woke up to Luke gently shaking me by the shoulder, telling me that we were only a few minutes away and wanted me to be awake.

I can't believe that I fell asleep, again, when I was 100% certain that I would remain awake.

But, then again, we're not in my jeep and I'm not the one driving and since Luke seems to know where to go he didn't need my help.

And, honestly, it was a long ride so I was bound to fall asleep one way or another.

"And, finally, we have arrived" Luke announced, having found a parking space within a few minutes.

I smiled and looked out the window, wanting to see where he took us.

My eyes widened slightly and I turned back to look at Luke, who was already staring at me in amusement and fondness.

"The amusement park? Really?" I asked in excitement.

"That's right" Luke nodded.

I let out a gasp before pulling him into a hug.

Luke let out a surprised yelp before wrapping his arms around me, returning the hug.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you" I repeated over and over again.

"Uh, love, as much as I appreciate it, why are you thanking me?" Luke asked in confusion.

Oh.

Right.

I just caught him off guard with the hug without even telling him why I was so excited or thanking him.

We pulled away from the hug, quite reluctantly, as Luke put his hand back on my thigh.

"It's just, I never really had or found time to go to the amusement park myself. Considering school and everything has been stressful" I told him.

Not just school, the pack too.

Before getting kicked out, I was always told to gather as much information as I can gather whenever we had some sort of supernatural enemy come into Beacon Hills.

I was so determined in finding as much information as I could that I was sleep deprived.

It didn't help that I also had school to focus on and I didn't want to slack nor fall behind. I wanted to keep my grades up.

Not to mention Derek never took me to the amusement park. Even though I told him many times about wanting to go.

So, for Luke to bring me here is an absolute dream come true.

Luke hummed at that, realization coursing through him as he nodded and offered me a smile.

"Well, we're here now, love. And all that matters is you having the time of your life" Luke said.

My heart melted and I found myself smiling back at him.

This boy has me falling more and more for him and it amazes me greatly.

We exited the car and walked into the entrance. We paid and got what we needed so we could get on rides, for free, before heading inside.

I smiled as I looked at the park, taking in everything. It's been so long and I just want to capture everything.

I looked down and saw that Luke and I were still holding hands. We held hands when exiting the car and still held them when entering.

Thinking that he was getting tired of holding my hand, I went to pull away from him, only to get the shock of my life when Luke pulled me back. Clearly refusing to let me go.

"What are you doing, love?" Luke asked, confused.

"I-I j-just thought you wouldn't want to hold hands anymore" I told him, stuttering slightly as I did so.

Derek always got mad at me for holding his hand whenever we were in public.

I don't know if it was because he didn't like showing public affection.

Or, he was simply embarrassed being with me and didn't want anyone seeing us together.

Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if it was the last option.

But, still, it hurts.

"Are you crazy? Of course I want to hold your hand. It's the 20th century, nobody cares about who you're with and the same sex gender can hold hands if they want" Luke said.

"I know. But, we're not a couple. I thought maybe you don't want us to hold hands and give people the wrong idea" I sighed.

We might've kissed, we might've confessed our feelings to each other, we might be going on dates, but we haven't made it official.

We haven't set any labels.

And, truth be told, that makes my heart hurt knowing that he technically isn't mine.

Luke frowned at that as he took a few steps closer, standing just a few feet in front of me.

His hand cupped the side of my cheek and he began caressing it.

I blushed at that, especially since he's doing this while we're at a public place. But, what warms my heart is knowing that he doesn't seem to care where we are or if there are people watching.

"Love, just because we haven't made anything official doesn't change anything. My feelings for you haven't changed and they never will change. That's the truth" Luke softly said.

He placed his free hand on the side of my waist, using his thumb to make smooth circles.

"The reason I'm not going to pressure you into becoming my boyfriend. I know that you're not yet ready to get into another relationship after what happened with your ex. I want you to know that I'm willing to wait for as long as you want and need. Because that's how much I care for you" Luke softly smiled.

Speechless.

I was absolutely speechless.

His words meant so much to me, his words made my heart flutter in a way that has never happened and his words bring nothing but warmth, happiness and love.

This just makes my feelings for him grow more and more.

Tears gathered in my eyes and I let out a quiet sob before wrapping my arms around him, burying my head into his shoulder.

Luke let out a soft sigh as he wrapped his arms around me, rubbing my back up and down in a comforting manner.

"Shh, shh, don't cry love. I might end up crying and we're here to have fun, not to have a crying competition" Luke softly told me.

I let out a watery laugh at that. He knew just what to say to make me smile and laugh.

We pulled away from the hug as he cupped my face and gently wiped my tears away with his thumbs.

"Feeling better now, beautiful?" Luke asked.

"Yeah. Yeah, I feel better" I nodded.

"Great. Now, come on, lets get ready to get on some rides. It's time for us to have fun" Luke grinned at me.

I nodded and grinned myself.

We held hands the entire time and began jogging off together, wanting to find a ride we'll both like so we can get on.

Enough being sad. It's time to have fun.

A Few Hours Later

Luke and I had gone on many rides during our time in the amusement park. We took a few lunch breaks and waited for about five minutes before getting back onto more rides.

We were having tons of fun that neither of us wanted the day to end.

Time went by fast but neither of us really paid much attention since we were busy smiling, laughing and cracking a few jokes.

Right now we were walking down the stairs after getting off the ride we were on.

We both were laughing. Luke was clutching onto his stomach while I tried not to fall forward.

The reason we were laughing was because we were both screaming the entire time we were on the ride even though we were both confident we wouldn't get scared.

Looks like we were both wrong.

But, who cares.

We had fun and that's all that matters.

"I can't believe you were close to crying" I laughed out.

"Don't judge me for not liking rides that go upside down three times" Luke defended.

"Then why did you go on it?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

"Two reasons. One, wherever you go, I follow. Two, I'm not going to let my fear stop me from having fun" he told me.

I smiled softly at that and nodded my head.

He grabbed my hand and held onto it. I smiled more at that as I scooted closer to his side.

"Well, I say we get some ice cream. After that lets play some games before calling it a night" Luke suggested.

"Sounds good to me" I nodded.

As much as I don't want to leave the amusement park, we have no choice since tomorrow we have school.

We have to go to bed early since neither of us fancy arriving late to school.

We continued holding hands as we walked into the ice cream shop.

We walked over to the counter and the cashier gave us a few minutes to look over the menu to see what we wanted. After looking over the menu we told the waiter what we wanted and he told us that our ice creams will be ready in five to seven minutes.

You would think it would take less time, but there are tons of people here waiting for their orders.

I can't blame them. Ice cream is everyone's favorite.

We walked over to an empty table and sat down.

There was a chair across the table but Luke grabbed the chair and placed it next to mine so he could sit next to me.

He wants to be near me at all times and I can't find myself to be annoyed.

It's cute. Amusing, but cute.

"So, any idea what the others are doing?" I asked.

"Olivia probably took June to the park, like always. And Jake is probably at his and June's apartment working on homework. He tends to do some of his homework at the last minute" Luke told me.

I hummed at that and nodded.

I'm not going to judge Jake for that since I was once in his position. I know what it feels like.

"What about you? What do you think your dad is up to?" Luke asked.

"He's either watching T.V or finishing up some paperwork. He's the sheriff after all" I said.

Luke hummed in understanding and nodded.

He opened his mouth to say something when someone called out to him.

"Luke?"

I watched as Luke's eyes wandered behind me before they widened in surprise and happiness.

"Anastasia?" Luke asked, a smile slowly appearing on my face.

A frown appeared on my face, especially since he looked and sounded so happy.

I turned around to see whoever this person was. I only calmed down when I got a good look at the said person.

The person, Anastasia, was a woman that appeared to be in her mid thirties. She was tall and she wore a red long sleeved shirt, black jeans and black boots.

Wow. She really is pretty.

"Oh my god. I knew I recognized that familiar blonde hair" Anastasia giggled.

She walked over to us just as Luke got up from his chair and walked around me in order to walk over to the woman.

They met in the middle, near where our table was, and hugged each other tightly. Almost as if they haven't seen each other in years.

They pulled away from the hug as Anastasia cupped Luke's face with her hands in a motherly way.

I remember mom doing the same to me whenever I greeted her after returning home from school.

"Oh, it's been so long. You've grown up so much" Anastasia smiled at him.

"I know. I'm just so happy to see you again, Anastasia" Luke smiled.

"Oh come on, kid. How many times do I have to tell you to call me Ana?" she asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

Luke huffed and playfully rolled his eyes at her.

"Hey, you didn't want me calling you Ms. Ambrosia since you said it makes you sound old. And you told me to call you by your name, so, take what you can get" he sternly said.

Anastasia huffed at him and gently punched his shoulder, causing him to playfully glare at her.

I smiled at their interaction but I also shifted in my seat, feeling a bit awkward. Like I was in the middle of their moment.

Luke looked at me and his eyes widened before he looked back at Anastasia.

"Oh, Anastasia, I want you to meet someone" he told her.

She nodded and watched as Luke walked over to me, standing next to me while placing his hand onto my shoulder.

"Meet Stiles Stilinski. Stiles, love, I want you to meet Anastasia Ambrosia" he introduced us.

I cleared my throat and stood up from my chair. I offered her a polite smile and held my hand out to her.

"Hi. I'm Stiles, as you already heard, and it's nice to meet you" I politely said.

Anastasia smiled politely at me and shook my hand.

"Very nice to meet you, Stiles" she nodded.

We pulled our hands away just as Luke wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me by the waist.

"Stiles and I are on a date" Luke proudly and happily smiled at her.

Anastasia let out a dramatic gasp as her eyes widened in surprise.

I smiled and blushed at the same time, not expecting Luke to bluntly say that to her.

"Luke Carter on a date with someone? Is the world ending or something?" she asked, placing her hand over her chest.

She side eyed him before turning to me, taking a few steps forward.

"Stiles, sweetheart, if you're in any danger blink two times and I'll escort you somewhere safe" Anastasia smiled softly at me.

I laughed loudly at that while Luke stared at her with his eyes wide and jaw dropped, clearly offended.

When I managed to calm down I shook my head at her.

"No need to worry, Ms. Ambrosia. I'm not in any danger. Luke and I really are out on a date" I softly smiled.

"Are you sure? Luke isn't the romantic type" Anastasia frowned.

"Hey!" Luke yelled at her.

"What? Am I wrong?" Anastasia asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

"Well, not entirely, but I can be romantic when I want to" Luke defended.

"Sure, sure, keep telling yourself that sweetie" she playfully rolled her eyes at him.

Luke let out a huff and pouted as he turned to look at me.

I rolled my eyes and patted his cheek. His pout disappeared and he playfully glared at me before turning back to the woman.

"What are you doing here, Anastasia?" he asked.

"My friends invited me to go out with them and since I didn't have anything else to do I agreed" she told him.

"Oh really? Where are your friends?" I asked in curiosity.

"They went on more rides while I came here to get some ice cream. I was getting hungry and I didn't want to go on anymore rides" Anastasia said.

I hummed and nodded while Luke smirked teasingly at her.

"What? Can't handle a simple rollercoaster?" he teasingly asked.

"That's rich coming from the boy that screamed bloody murder a few years back" Anastasia smirked at him.

Luke blushed bright red at the reminder while I let out a laugh of amusement.

Anastasia smiled at him and ruffled his hair.

"Well, I have to get going. I'm gonna see if my order is done and go find my friends" she told us.

"It was nice seeing you, Anastasia. I hope we can see each other again" Luke smiled.

"Don't worry, sweetie. I'm sure we'll be seeing each other alot more often" she promised him.

She kissed his head, like a mother would do when bidding their child goodbye, before turning to me.

"It was nice meeting you, Stiles. I hope to see you more often too" she smiled at me.

"I hope so too. Take care" I smiled.

"Thank you" she nodded.

With that, she turned around and walked away.

Luke and I sat down just as the waiter walked over to us with our orders.

(The left one is Luke's and the right one is Stiles's)

We thanked the waiter and he nodded at us before walking away.

"So, mind telling me who exactly Anastasia is to you?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at my date.

"Oh, she was mine and Liv's next door neighbor back at our old town. She also helped our grandparents raise us. She was single and didn't have kids of her own, so she always thought of us as her own. Liv and I have always seen her as our aunt more than just our neighbor" Luke explained.

He licked his ice cream a few times before going back to speaking.

"Anastasia was there for us when our grandparents died. She comforted us when we mourned them and she also took us to the cemetery to visit them. And she attended our parent teacher conferences when our deadbeat parents chose not to" Luke explained.

I smiled softly at that.

It's nice to know that they had someone else by their side. Someone that was there for them and never left their side, especially after losing their grandparents.

"A few weeks before Liv and I left she got a job offer somewhere else, meaning she had to move. She gave Liv and I her phone number and told us that if we need her for anything, to just give her a call and she'll answer" he told me.

"She sounds like an amazing woman" I softly smiled.

"She is. And we love her the same way she loves us" Luke softly smiled.

I placed my hand on top of his and used my thumb to caress the top of his hand.

He smiled at me and gently grabbed my hand, bringing it up so he could place a kiss to the top of it.

I smiled at the gesture and blushed, especially at the way my heart fluttered.

We held hands the entire time as we ate our ice cream. We talked about anything we could think or and cracked a few jokes from time to time.

We decided to play some games when we were done before heading home.

We've been on almost every ride here. We need a break from it and we would also like to play some games.

And just like yesterday, this date was definitely something I will always remember.
