Author's Note: So I was surprised at the lack of LukeXNatalie fics, I like Chase and Andie better as a pair but I couldn't get these two out of my head recently so I decided to write one on them. This will be a multi chapter fic the next part is going to fast forward to when they get to California. There is a really good fic about the trip called, 'Bus Ride to California' so I thought I would do my own little entry then the part with them going to college. I have already started the next chapter so it will be up soon. Thanks to all of those who reviewed on my last fic, it really helps the writing mojo/muse.
******I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING****** (the plot is kinda mine but that's it)
He watched the screen mesmerized by the way she moved effortlessly across the floor her whole body danced. "She's the one," he said, "the one I've been telling you about." He need and excuse he had to get down there to see her, to watch her, "Hey Moose lets go down stairs I'll show you around." He ignored the groans and protesting voices of his crew, he didn't care. When they got down to the club he told Moose to look around and left with his camera in his hand, he turned it on and began scanning the crowd for her figure, there she was he followed her hypnotized by the passion and power that she could move her body with. She wove her way through the crowd taunting him to follow only to disappear again. He followed her walking around the corner he saw her dancing against a man she dropped to the ground flattening her body only to come back up and snatch his hat she swung her hips as she strutted into the dancing crowd the turned and threw the man's hat back and disappeared into the masses. He scanned the crowd he didn't see her quickly he flipped open the screening turning on the night vision of his camera and scanning it over the groups of thrumming bodies where was she? He felt someone's gaze and swung his head around, the hair on his arm stood up he looked down, there she was just watching him with a piercing stare. She reached up and snapped the screen shut with a deliberate motion then slipped backwards toward the unearthly glow of the neon lights, he turned slowly bring his camera forward, she watched him her eyes never leaving his as she prowled through the glowing beams, she had an air of feline grace and power as she swung through the shadows she disappeared for a moment and he turned quickly to see where she had gone. She was nowhere in sight, that was part of what fascinated him so much, she was like a mist, or a jungle cat here then not but always leaving those who saw her wondering if they had actually seen anything at all. She was surrounded by mystery and he was determined to catch her on tape.
He smiled fondly at the memory, he had been right she was defiantly mysterious and her dancing was just as powerful and graceful as the stalk of a cat. He reached over and ran his fingers through her hair, he still couldn't believe the events of the last couple of weeks, he had lost the vault, Natalie, and his crew only to somehow get them all back and win the World Jam, and then there was the fact that he was now going to California with his amazing dancer, Natalie, they really hadn't gotten a chance to discuss their relationship since they got on the train. As soon as they had both relaxed they had felt the weight of the last couple of weeks lift off their shoulder and realized how tired booth of them were, they had drifted to sleep in each other's arms, but now he was awake and staring at his beautiful companion. He had never dreamed that she would come back for him after he had learned she was Julien's sister and it had almost torn him apart to turn his back on her when she had begged for him to come with her to California. When she had run onto the stage telling him to trust her he was thrilled. He had been surprised and proud when she hissed to Julien through her clenched teeth that she was no longer a Samaria and that he was now her family. He smiled again as he thought of just how perfectly they had danced together, it had been easy like breathing they were like the twins talking on some other level. Natalie stirred in his arms and mumbled sleepily,
"Why do you keep smiling?" He chucked softly,
"How could you know I am smiling you haven't opened your eyes since we fell asleep."
"How did you know that I fell asleep, I could have just closed my eyes for a second," she said looking up at him with a knowing smile on her face. He was speechless as she peered up at him from beneath her long eyelashes,
"I just know," he whispered back closing the distance between them and pressing his lips gentle against hers, it was a soft sweet kiss the ones that are full of promise in a very clean daylight kind of way. He rested his forehead against hers.
"We have to talk," he said softly, she looked up at him with a grimace but nodded she knew he was right they hadn't talked really at all since he had discovered that she was Julien's sister at least not with words, their dance at the World Jam was a conversation in itself, but many were things still left unsaid.
"I know, I am sorry, Luke, you have to believe me I had no idea about the battle, I had no idea of who you were or anything, all I knew was what Julien had told me, and he made you sound like a jealous bastered who couldn't stand a little competition and then I saw the place you had built for people who had nothing and how you offered to give me a place to sleep when all you knew was my name, Julien would never do something like that, he is strict and runs the house of Samaria with a rigid discipline, no outsiders are ever allowed in."
He nodded he had figured as much, he turned to her he needed to know something before things got any farther.
"What did Julien tell you to do, what did he ask you to do?" he asked quietly. She looked up at him waiting until he looked into to her eyes,
"He told me to get into the house of Pirates, he said that it wouldn't be hard and that you were a softy anyway. He told me to get to you to become trusted and to go whatever that might lead. What he didn't tell me to do was stay up late thinking about you, cry in my sleep knowing that you would find out and pray that somehow you would forgive me. Luke we met because of Julien, but everything that happened between us was because of us no one besides us,"
Her eyes burned with a fire that he recognized, it was the same fire that lit her eyes when she danced and the same fire that had burned so brightly when she had run on to the floor at the World Jam telling him that they could beat her brother and begging him to trust her. It was also the fire that had burned in her eyes as he had leaned down and kissed her at the train stop, he knew that she was telling the truth. He was suddenly very aware of how close they were, she was practically sitting on his lap, he leaned down resting his forehead against hers staring into her eyes. They sat like that silently just breathing, she tilted her head brushing her lips against his, his eyes darkened perceptively she whispered to him quietly,
"No one but us Luke."
