As Oscar walked through the elevator doors of MadStyle, he was greeted by the strange noise of somebody snoring. It didn't take long for him to find the source; Lulu, her cheek turned on her hands, sleeping soundly. He strolled to her desk. "Lulu." He said with a warm smile. The girl gave no response of waking. Oscar gently grasped her elbow and shook it. "Lulu." Lulu moaned and shook her head slightly, but stayed asleep. "LULU!" The female jumped – as did many things on her desk – awake. She took a moment to realize where she was.

"Oh, hey Oscar. Good…" Lulu gave a confused pout and looked at her 'PUPPY-KINS HELLO KITTY' watch. "Morning." Her arm – and her face – fell.

Oscar laughed, turning and settling into his chair.

"I must've fallen asleep after my date with Ryan."

"Say what's date with who?!" The receptionist questioned with bug-eyes. Lulu, realizing what she just said, let her mouth drop and returned Oscar's gaze with her own bug eyes.

"Uh…ummm…nothing. I didn't say anything." Lulu lied. "I also didn't say how I wish Ryan would kiss me already." Lulu's hands jumped up and covered her mouth.

Oscar stood. "Break room. Lemon squares. Us. Talk."

"Oscar…"

"NOW!"

"Alright, alright." Lulu stood, giving a snobby look back at Oscar as she walked into the break room. "No need to snap."

The adult and teenager sat at the small table, Lulu refusing to look at Oscar. "So…how long have you guys been dating?"

Lulu fidgeted under Oscar's gaze. "Since Dakota?"

Oscar, drinking his coffee, gave a spittake. "That was almost 6 months!"

Lulu smiled wistfully. "Yeah."

"How'd you keep a secret that long? At the retreat, you said Mr. Madigan's secret was driving you crazy."

"Everytime I felt like I would explode, I sent a text to True and then I delete it. In my head, I believe that I told her." Lulu fiddled with the pastry in her hand.

"Wow. So…about the whole…kiss thing."

Lulu's head jumped up and then her chin to her chest. "Well…we haven't kissed yet."

"Huh." This caught Lulu's attention. Oscar stared at nothing in particular as he thought. "Looks to me that you need to show Ryan that you're ready to take that plunge."

"Yeah." Lulu gave a thoughtful smile. "And I know just how to do it." Lulu stood, giving Oscar a small hug. "Thanks Oscar." She left the room, but quickly poked her head in. "Hey Oscar," The receptionist looked up. "This can stay a secret, right?"

Oscar gave a warm smile, making the 'throw-away-the-key' motion. Lulu smiled back and left to her desk.
