Together

Chapter 40

As promised, Lucas did bring her to date. He brought Athanasia on a visit to several places in the city. Athanasia, as usual, would ask him to buy various kinds of snacks and to pull him everywhere. The two of them walked hand in hand and attracted people's attention as usual, many whispers they made such as, "Such a beautiful girl", "What a handsome young man", or "They are a very perfect couple". Lucas developed his ears because of the praise, while Athanasia was just busy looking around enthusiastically. Her eyes were too focused on the crowd and did not pay attention to her way so she stumbled, fortunately Lucas immediately pulled her hands and waist on time and made them relieved because there were no embarrassing events at that moment.

"Next time pay attention to your path or I will not take you out again", the threat of Lucas makes Athanasia shudder in horror and immediately saluted at him while nodding steadily, "I understand".

Then Lucas patted her head, a second later Athanasia's stiff face turned into a smile so sweet that it pierced the hearts of the men there or some women. Lucas felt his heart would stop beating then but he glared at the bugs who stole glances at his lover, he then hugged her and made Athanasia surprised, she tried to escape from that hug and whispered, "Hey, what are you doing?!". "Your cuteness is making everyone stare. Stop it", Athanasia blinked and smiled nosy "Is my boyfriend jealous?", She tilted her head to the side and covered her mouth with two hands covered by the sleeves of the white-striped pink sweater she was wearing. She also wears shorts that are covered by her long sweater so that can show her smooth, white thighs. Lucas immediately covered his blushing face with the black hoodie he was wearing and turned his gaze in the other direction, "Not really".

Athanasia giggled at his reaction then tiptoe to the side of his body, landing a short kiss on the cheek, "Calm down, I'm only giving my smile to you". Lucas looked stunned by her statement and took Athanasia's hand tightly, "I know that, let's go". He began to walk pulling her behind him, Athanasia still smiling, whispering very softly, "My boyfriend is so cute". They went to the cinema first and watched a horror film, which according to Lucas was normal and Athanasia pretentiously thought that she would dare to watch it. Her guess was wrong, during the screening of the film she instead attached to Lucas who actually felt happy because he was hugged. Athanasia often hid her face on Lucas' shoulder and responded with a caress on the head. He will tell her that the most scary scenes have passed. After the film ends and they need to get out, Athanasia and Lucas come out last because the girl's feet cannot be compromised by the effects of fear. But when Lucas was about to carry her, she immediately forced herself to stand because she was ashamed to be carried in front of the crowd.

They then stopped at a restaurant with a Japanese menu for lunch, Athanasia ordered omellete and hojicha blend, while Lucas ordered a plate of curry with lychee mojito. When she drank what she ordered she frowned, Lucas realized, "What's wrong?" Athanasia pouted her mouth, "I can ttill feel the bitter taste of the matcha, I think it will be covered with the milk fully", "If you don't like the bitter taste why did you order it in the first place, drink mine, at least it will taste fresher". Athanasia grabbed Lucas's glass of drink and immediately sipped it with the straw. Lucas held his head in one hand and grinned, "You're not hysterical about drinking from the same straw anymore?"

".... I will get used to it, don't remind me of that day again. That's the first for me"

"First? That was the second time, dummy", Lucas pinched her nose lightly and Athanasia raised an eyebrow as she brushed the hand away. "Huh?", "Do you remember when we met at a store and fought over just for a yogurt? You fed me outside the store suddenly and ate from the same spoon at that time", Athanasia crossed her arms while thinking again and widened her eyes, her face began to blush and she looked down in shame, "I just remembered that. Sorry".
