Georges POV

I promise I wasn't trying to eavesdrop! I just happened to be walking by! Anyways, it all start when I was walking past the study, the door was mostly closed. I hear Lockwood talking "...ing if you maybe...would you...I was thinking..." Lockwood stutters my mouth fell open Lockwood never stutters! I continue, ahem, slowly walking by. "Lockwood," I hear Lucy say "spit it out." I abandon all hope of not listening and creep over to the door and peer through the crack, I see Lucy's back and see Lockwoods blushing. its to good to pass up I pull out my phone(1) and start taking pictures as Lockwood replys "I was wondering if maybe you'd like to take a walk with me. Like just us. If you wanted to." Lockwood rants Lucy stands up

"of course!" She says "when do you want to leave?" Lockwood stands as well, "no time like the present." Lockwood replies. My eyes widen and I silently run down the hall and grab mine and Lucy's coats from the hook, I can hear them walking down the hall panicking I run into he kitchen. I frantically look for a hiding spot for the coats.

Lucys POV

Lockwood and I walk down the hall, we enter the kitchen and see George reading the newspaper and stuffing the last bite of something in his mouth. He looks up at us, "Lucy and I are going to go for a walk, be back in a bit George." George nods and gestures for us to leave. I turn and walk over to the front entryway I see Lockwoods coat but not mine or George's. I freeze for a moment unsure of what to do, Lockwood steps around me and sees the problem. "Here you go Luce." Lockwood says and he hands his coat to me. "But Lockwood its January weather, you'll freeze!" I say not taking the offered coat.

Lockwood drapes the coat around me and when I start to protest he tells me "I'm wearing a long sleeve and a jacket, Lucy. I'll be fine, come on." He grabs my hand and gently pulls me out the door. I shiver and quickly drop his hand and put my arms in the sleeves then hesitantly I grab his hand again. He shoots me his megawatt smile. We start walking towards the park. Once we get there we see Kipps. Lockwood groans softly, "great." I say sarcastically as he notices us and walks over.

"Hello Anthony," Kipps says then he nods towards me "Amy," he says "it's Lucy!" I say through gritted teeth. "Where's your famous coat?" Kipps asks his voice dripping with fake concern "did you have to retire it?" Lockwoods eyes shift to me slightly and Kipps looks at me "oh, Anthony, I didn't know you gave it to your girlfriend!" Kipps says with a grin "keeping it hush hush?dont worry I won't tell."

"I'm-" I start but Lockwood cuts me off. "Oh, well secrets out, good day Kipps." Lockwood says with a nonchalant shrug, and we start waking away. Kipps stares open mouthed "wait you are a couple?" Kipps yells then runs after us. We quickly run to 35 Portland row, but right as Kipps rounds the corner I trip and fall into Lockwood, he falls under my weight. Kipps runs over to us "prove your really a couple, kiss." Kipps says smirking evilly knowing we aren't and catching us in our lie. I freeze "I um, we aren't really-" I'm cut off yet again by Lockwood but this time by Lockwoods lips!

My only thought is LOCKWOOD IS KISSING ME, omg what do I do? It was only a peck but it still counts. I look up and see Kipps with his mouth open in shock. I would smirk at his face if I wasn't in shock myself. I see Lockwood getting up and I stand and follow him inside once I do I run up to my room.

Lockwoods POV

Lucy ran up the stairs and I walk into the kitchen "where'd you hide the coats?" I ask George at the same time he asks "how'd it go?" I motion for him to go first "how'd it go? He asks again. I shrug "okay," then I spill the rest of the story "and now Lucy probably hates me, she'll never talk to me again!" I finish George grins "wow, you got it bad." George says pointing out the obvious. "I know I like her so much, but she doesn't feel the same way." I moan "how do you know? Did you ask her?"George asks "well, no. I'll do that. But first where did you hide the coats?" I say getting ready to leave the room. George grins "don't use the oven." George says I shake my head and silently walk up the stairs

"Lucy?" I call softly then knock on her door "Lucy can we talk?" The door swings open and I see Lucy staring at me with a blank expression. "Yes?" She asks coldly "um, I was..." I start then pause and collect my thoughts "I'm not going to apologize for kissing you, but I'm sorry if you were uncomfortable or something." Lucy frowns "you aren't going to apologize why?" She asks her voice sounding slightly hopeful. "BecauseILikeYouLucyLikeALotDoYouLikeMe?" I blurt out "yes." Lucy says "wait you understood that?" I say Lucy shrugs and nods

I smile "where were we?" I say leaning down to kiss her when I hear girlish squeaks. George. Lucy and I turn and look at George; he's standing in the doorway with a camera and is jumping up and down yelling "locky and Lucy are getting together!" Lucy looks at me and when our eyes lock for a second we form a plan. We both grab pillows and start hitting George.

Lucys POV

Maybe one day I'll tell Lockwood I crept down the stairs and heard him talking to George. And maybe one day I'll tell Lockwood that George told me the whole give-Lucy-my-coat-and-make-her-fall-for-me plan that Lockwood cooked up, I smile and shake myself from my thoughts no not right now the only thing right now is beating George at a pillow fight.

Disclaimer: if Lockwood and Co was mine Lucy would have never left.
