Good Things Happen with Time.

I don't own Lucian.

Chapter 1

Lucy's POV

I've been on set filming our current episode of 'Pretty Little Liars' for the past fourteen hours. Finally all of my scenes are done and I am cleared to leave for the day. While it is only eight o'clock at night, it feels as if it is two in the morning due to my extremely tiring day. My final scene was an angst scene with Ian; he too is done for the day, though, he has only been on set for about three hours today.

With my car in the shop getting it's routine oil change and tire rotation Ian offers to drive me home. Unfortunately, we didn't finish work in time for me to go pick up my car prior to the shop closing. I all but beg Ian to stop at Starbucks across the street from Warner Brothers for me to get a rather large cup of coffee. As much as I would love to go home and pass out in my rather large bed, I have to pack my bag for my flight tomorrow. I am leaving for Nashville tomorrow night after a photo shoot to spend the next week with my family back home since the PLL cast has the upcoming week off.

Ian being the amazing man he is buys me a coffee before driving us to Chipotle to get some dinner. We were planning on eating our dinner there however there were a ton of fans and paparazzi lurking around outside making us feel a bit uncomfortable having so many eyes on us. We scurry back out to his car then head to my house to eat our dinner in peace.

After dinner I offer for Ian to stay for a drink. I can tell he has been pretty lonely lately and could use some company, plus I wouldn't mind having him hang out for a bit. He's hardly had any scenes on the show in the past several weeks and when he does have scenes they are incredibly short, only taking a few hours to film. Ian ends up coming upstairs with me to my bedroom as I pack my luggage.

"What are your plans for next week?" I ask Ian. My eyes roam up him body as he lays out on my bed watching television.

"Oh the usual, hanging out at home with nothing to do. Same thing I've been doing for how many weeks now since I've basically been written off the show." His tone is bitter and undercoated with hurt.

My hands drop the tank top I had been folding and a frown forms on my lips. "Ian."

He shakes his head and continues flipping channels on the TV. "Don't worry about it Luce, I should be used to it by now."

Before I can open my mouth to reply, Ian's phone starts ringing. I watch as he digs it out from his back pocket. I don't miss the quick frown that was present for a moment when he saw who was calling him.

"Hello?" Ian says in an odd tone.

"Yeah I'm just watching some TV before I go to sleep." Ian's eyes sweep over me before looking down towards the bed. "What about you?"

He makes this unusual look on his face while avoiding my gaze. "I'll talk to you later then. Goodnight. Mhm."

I furrow my eyebrows in confusion at the very bland conversation.

"That was Sophia," Ian answers my unasked question.

"Oh," I reply softly. "What's she been up to?"

Ian shrugs his shoulders nonchalantly. "We haven't talked all that much lately. She's off in New York with her friends for some project they are working on out there. I don't know all the details."

The sounds of the 'Friends' rerun playing on TV takes over the quiet room. I continue moving around the room gathering clothes from my closet as well as my dresser. Every time I look over Ian's way I notice how down he looks. Without thinking I let my mouth start talking before running my idea through my brain.

"Why don't you come to Nashville with me?"

Ian is clearly taken back by my offer, and to be honest, I am too.

"What?" He asks in disbelief.

"You need a break from hanging out at your house doing nothing all the time. Why not jump on a plane with me and go to Nashville? My mom loves you. I know she would be thrilled to see you again. Come on, the adventures of Goose and Shmian, what do you say?"

"That sounds pretty amazing actually. Thank you Lucy."

I grin widely at him, this is going to make the trip even better. A whole week with Ian and my family in Nashville, life couldn't get any better than that.

"Oh don't worry about booking a ticket." I tell him when I see he is looking up the airline's website. I am quick to explain when he questions me. "After one too many experiences with having weird guys who act like complete creeps sitting next to me, I have started purchasing the seat next to me as well to prevent me from sitting next to any more weird men. I got tired of constantly being harassed during long flights."

Ian stays over for a couple more hours before calling it a night. We make plans for him to drive me over to the body shop for me to pick up my car in the morning. I have a couple different photo shoots scheduled for tomorrow afternoon before our flight leaves for Nashville. I can't wait to get home to my family. I am even more excited knowing Ian is coming too.

Ian's POV

Before I know it, Friday night is here. I am currently driving through Lucy's neighborhood on my way to her house so we can head to the airport together. I was honestly taken back by Lucy's offer for me to fly back home with her. Though I was nonetheless pleased by the thought of having a change of scenery, not to mention having company other than my dogs for once. Things with Sophia haven't been going all too well lately. She's been in New York for the past couple of weeks without much contact with me.

Once I pull into Lucy's driveway I shift my car into park then head up to the front door. I ring the doorbell a couple times with no response. Checking the time on my watch I see it is 10:05. I dig my phone out of my jeans pocket to call Lucy. She finally answers the phone on the eighth ring.

Lucy's panicked voice instantly rings through the phone. "I am so sorry Ian! The photo shoot lasted way longer than it should have. I am on my way now. I'll be there in like twenty minutes or so. Feel free to let yourself in with your key. Oh and you can park your car in the garage if you want so it isn't sitting out all week."

"Okay I'll see you soon Goose."

Fishing my set of keys out of my pocket, I flip through them until I find the key to her place. Back when Lucy first purchased her house she gave me a copy of the key in case of emergencies. She said she didn't want any of her female friends to have a copy since her friendships had been going through odd phases. Lucy felt most comfortable with me having a key knowing I would never misuse it.

Entering her house, I head towards the garage door to open up the door so I can pull my car inside. Once that is taken care of I bring my bag in the house and sit it in the living room. Walking over to her fridge I grab a bottle of beer before taking a seat on the couch. I resort to my phone to entertain myself as I wait for Lucy to get here.

Just as Lucy had guessed, she came running in the back door twenty minutes later. Our cab is set to arrive in a couple minutes which is why Lucy is rushing to gather everything she may need. When Lucy ran upstairs, she was dressed in a highly flattering black fitted dress with matching black heels. By the time she is running back down the stairs with her bag she is dressed in black sweatpants and a loose fitting blue tank top with a racer back.

"Are you ready to spend a whole week with my crazy family?" Lucy's radiant smile instantly brightens up her dimly lit house.

"Call me insane but I am definitely looking forward to our trip. Thank you for inviting me."

"Alright, let's go!"

This is going to be one interesting week, I think to myself.

I am excited to write a new long term Lucian story again. I have a lot planned for this story and am very excited to get back into my Lucian mode. Please leave a review and let me know if you guys like the beginning of this. I loved writing the next chapter. I know chapter 2 will be a big hit with many of you ;). Chapter 2 is already written and I am in the process of writing the third chapter.
