Luciano’s pov

I saw Frank already waiting for me in my Livingroom when I almost fall from my house’s stairs trying to put my right shoe on. I only had 15 minutes to get ready so of course I had to do everything at remarkable speed. My straight brown hair was still wet from the shower, I usually don’t comb it that much since it always finds its place, but, since it’s I would say, a different kind of day, I decided to slick it back. I’m looking pretty smooth, my clothes helped a lot as well…. I think so at least. My grandma used to say you have to look classy while going out on a date, I just hope I did justice to that.

I’m wearing a navy blue stylish shirt collar with long sleeves which I rolled back to my elbows following a pair of black jeans with dark brown oxford shoes. I have to say that when I looked at myself in the mirror, it wasn’t so bad, I kind like this attire, I’ll wear it more often.

Once I was in the Living room, my mom was talking to Frank, I didn’t let her stop me to look at me, before she could say ‘’oh, so handsome!!!’’ I just throwed her a kiss in the air at the same time I grabbed Frank by his shoulder to get out of there. When I told her I had a date and that a ‘’friend’’ was going to let me use his car for the night, being him my driver that is, she immediately went to search her camera. She loves taking pictures of me when I go out, she says her baby boy is too pretty to not have thousands of photos of him. I don’t know how many photo albums she has of me already, mothers…… I guess is understandable at a certain point, I’m her only son after all but, she could be a little annoying sometimes.

I’m already hearing momma scream from behind us to be still for a moment so she could take a picture.

‘’Oh honey, you are leaving so soon? But you look so pretty, the photo….’’  ha! I knew she would say something like that.

 ‘’I’ll see you later mom!”   I yelled back at her when I was at my doorstep ready to exit with my date which of course, mamma doesn’t know it's actually Frank and not another girl. I haven’t say anything to my parents yet. I don’t think is the right moment to do so. In the meantime, I’m just going with the flow.

Once we are out of the house and totally out reach from my mom, I heard Frank do the typical whistle someone does if they find you nice looking. He was eyeing me from head to toe, that made my cheeks change their regular color to a reddish one, I could feel it, they were getting hot every passing second.

 ‘’Would you please stop that’’  I told him looking away from him, I said earlier that I was going to go with the flow but I’m still a ball of nerves. Ok Luciano, just breathe….

‘’Why would I stop? I like what I’m seeing’’   he said to me at the same time he grabbed me by the chin to make me look at him in the face.

I don’t know why it took me this long to say yes to his invitations, nothing has happened between us and I’m already melting. Every time he opens his mouth to speak in that sexy French accent of his, that just sends shivers down my spine…. in a good way.

‘’ Tell me Luciano, did you dress out this pretty for me?’’   was he trying to seduce me or something? Why did he have to say that in such a low voice?!

He could be a little intimidating sometimes and the fact that he’s taller than me doesn’t help either. Well, everybody is taller than me these days, I pray every night to grow up a few more inches, I eat a lot of protein and yet, I’m still a small bean. I just hope when I enter high school once the summer is over, my teenage hormones take more control in the growing department. However, I’m not letting my size be a disadvantage right now. I gather some courage and get closer to him by grabbing his hand and putting it away, this seems to take him by surprise. His almost black eyes opened a little more to look right into my blue ones.

‘’Maybe I did. Do you like it?’’  I told him using the same maneuver he did with me, the moment he listened my lowered voice, he gave me this grin…... Oh, I liked that grin.

 ‘’I sure do, you are looking quite elegant tonight”   he said getting even closer. Hmmm, is he trying to kiss me? Not yet my friend, I’ll play a little with you first.

‘’You don’t look so bad yourself. Now, shall we go see that movie”   he just chuckled at that when I broke from our closeness as I said it.

Later, went to his car to drive away towards the theaters, I was a little envious of him, since he’s a year older, he already has his license and of course a car as well. His parents are rich so he’s a daddy and mommy’s boy. Sometimes I which I could know what is like to be a spoil brat since both my parents have a lot of money as well. Mom’s a famous lawyer and dad owns a CEO company, I don’t really understand what he does. He’s just a business man, whatever that means. He has tried to make me be more involved in the company but, I couldn’t be any less interested. I’m more into arts, film making, music, photography, that’s my world, that’s what I like.

Despite my parents having that much money, they didn’t spoil me, if I wanted something I had to earn it. That’s how they raised me and I’m glad they did it that way. They have taught me that no matter the social class, we are all equal. To reach the top, you have to work hard and if you fall, just get up and go again until you make it, they are always telling me that. That’s why my only truly friend is David, he was raised the same way. His dad is friends with mine and also the president of my father’s company, they have been friends since college. That’s why David and I had known each other since we were in diapers.

Frank in the other hand, was not that arrogant or cocky but he wasn’t humble either. I guess that’s fine with me, I mean…. He’s a spoiled kid but it’s not really his fault, he was just raised like that. Besides, he’s not really doing any harm to anybody, plus, I like him. I’ve been having this crush on him since a couple of months ago but I kept it hidden thinking that I just really liked him as a friend, not as a man. I knew he was gay but I guess I ignored that fact. It wasn’t until I told David how I feel about boys, specially after having encounter that stranger guy in The Inferno that I finally realized what I am. Thanks to that, I’m here on a date with a guy I like and likes me back. The best part is that it doesn’t feel wrong, not at all.
