And so the story continues…


They walked and got to know each other better. When they reached a small house at the end of a quiet block, Lucille stopped.

"Well, this is my house." She said as she pointed to it. "You don't know how grateful I am for what you did for me tonight. I'll never forget it."

"Oh, it was nothin' really, Lucy."

"What was that?"

"Uh, 'It was nothin' really'?"

"No, what you said after that. What you called me."

"Lucy?"

"Yes. Why'd you call me that?"

"Oh, uh I dunt know. It seemed to fit you. If you dunt like it, I could stop."

"No! I love it! No one has ever called me that. It's always: 'Lucille this, Lucille that.'"

He smiled, then, she smiled.

"Well Ricky, I have to go." She said as she looked down at her watch. "You should be going too, it's cold right now."

"Yeah, well uh, take care." He said as he looked at her arm. He turned to walk away.

"Wait." Lucy said, "What can I do to repay you? I mean you practically saved my life!"

"Like I said, dunt worry 'bout it." He shrugged.

She leaned over and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Thank you." She said as she began to walk up her path.

"Buenas Noches, Lucy." He smiled, blushing. His cheek hot from where she had placed her kiss.

"What does that mean?" she asked.

"It means 'good night'."

"Oh okay. Buenas Noches Ricky." She said as she closed the door.

He felt energized. He wanted to sing, but then decided not to so that he wouldn't wake up all of the sleeping people. A couple of blocks over, he realized that Lucy still had his coat. He decided to let her keep it. He could go back for it on his way to work.

Lucy realized the same thing. She took the coat off, got a piece of paper, and began to write.
