Chapter 1: Love at the Wrong Time

Lucy Camden was asleep in her bed dreaming of him again. But it was the wrong guy. Instead of dreaming about her boyfriend Kevin, she dreamt of her best friend Robbie.

I don't get it, Lucy thought to herself, why do I keep thinking about Robbie? He's my best friend…I can't be falling for him. Besides, I'm happy with Kevin, he's my boyfriend and Robbie is my friend. I can't be falling for Robbie…can I?

Lucy paused.

"Falling for him…what am I thinking?! I don't love Robbie, I love Kevin," Lucy said, trying to convince herself.

Lucy tried to go back to sleep, but she couldn't stop thinking about Robbie. She longed for his touch, for the sound of his voice, for his kiss. Lucy woke herself up immediately.

"Oh my gosh!" She panicked.

Her mind flew into a frenzy of thoughts: I am falling for Robbie…but how? I thought I loved Kevin and Robbie was just my friend. What am I going to do? Kevin will be heartbroken if he finds out.

"I'll have to keep this to myself. I can't let anyone find out," Lucy told herself.

Lucy told herself that in barely a whisper so Ruthie, who was sleeping in the bed next to hers, couldn't hear her.

Lucy went back to bed, but she kept thinking about Robbie all night…

The next morning Lucy entered the kitchen. She saw her mother making breakfast. The twins were eating breakfast. Kevin was sitting at the table drinking coffee and reading the newspaper.

Her heart stopped when she saw Robbie, munching on some toast. She just kept staring at him, thoughts of love and passion filling her head. Annie interrupted her.

"Good morning, Lucy," Annie greeted cheerfully.

"Morning, Mom," Lucy replied, still deep in thought.

"Morning, Lucy!" the twins said in unison.

"Hey, Luce," Robbie said.

Lucy loved hearing his voice so much...

"Morning sweetie," Kevin said cheerfully.

Kevin stood up from his seat and placed his coffee down. He came towards Lucy and hugged her and kissed her gently.

"Um, yeah…morning to you all," Lucy said, breaking Kevin's hug and sitting next to Robbie.

There was silence until Lucy broke it.

"Where are Dad, Simon, and Ruthie?" Lucy asked Annie.

"Your dad had a session at the church, Simon went over to Cecilia's house, and Ruthie is at Peter's house," Annie replied.

"Oh, ok," Was all Lucy said.

"I've got to put Sam and David down for a nap. I'll be right back," Annie said, taking the twins upstairs.

"And I've got to get to work. See you later," Kevin kissed Lucy and left for work.

Lucy looked at Robbie nervously. She didn't know what say.

"So…how did you sleep last night?" Robbie asked.

"Fine," Lucy lied, not telling him that he was the only thing she could think about the whole entire night.

"Great…I slept pretty well too," Robbie replied.

"That's good," Lucy said.

Then Lucy did something she'd knew she'd regret later on. She grabbed Robbie and kissed him passionately on the lips.

The kiss was intense and deep. Robbie tried to break away, but the kiss was too powerful. He got pulled in and kissed her back. Lucy opened her eyes and realized what she was doing and quickly broke the kiss.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" Lucy panicked. What if Robbie hated her now?

"It's ok, Luce," Robbie said reassuringly.

"No it's not, I'm sorry! I made a stupid mistake! I'm so sorry, Robbie!" Tears filled up Lucy's eyes.

Before he could reply, Lucy ran up the stairs crying.

Robbie wasn't sure if he should go after her or stay where he was. He decided to stay and think about and try to process what had just happened.
