Author's Note: Hello. I'm back with another chapter. I really don't know if this story is good or not so please let me know what you think.
Lucy's P.O.V.
Groggily, I rolled out of bed. It was only five so the sky was still pitch black. I didn't bother turning on the lights as I walked the path that I knew led to the bathroom. It was time for a shower. For a good twenty minutes I stood still, letting the hot water run down my body. I need to figure out my emotions. First I was calm and collected, but yesterday? Yesterday I was a nervous wreck. I couldn't talk, and when I could, I couldn't stop. Think. What was different? That night, I thought of him only as an acquaintance. So what was he now? Surely not an acquaintance. A friend? He seemed closer than that. Do-do I love him? There is no way. It is just a crush. It has to be. I mean, sure, he's sweet, smart, handsome, kind, and well mannered, but he has downsides too, like… like, well for one, he is a member of Sabertooth. And… and what? There has to be more than that. I shook my head, trying to rid myself of all this confusion. After a quick wash, I turned the water off and stepped out of the shower.
I went back to my room, this time turning on the lights as I went to my closet. I picked out a pale blue long sleeved shirt as well as some black jeans. After changing, I brushed my hair and put on makeup similar to yesterdays, with the exception of the pink eye shadow. Instead, I chose a pretty blue color. I left my hair down to air dry and left in pursuit of breakfast, flicking off the lights as I went.
The sun was just beginning to peak out above the horizon so after making some tea and toast, I decided to keep the lights off and sit at the table where I could watch the sun rise through the window. Slowly, the new light illuminated the tiny room.
It was only seven by the time I was ready to leave. Still hours before I was supposed to meet up with Rouge, I decided to go for a nice walk in the crisp air. I watched my breath dissipate into the cold air and couldn't help but enjoy the quiet. There were only a few other people out so early in the morning, creating a peaceful start to the day. Softly, so no one could hear, I began to hum to myself- until I tripped anyway.
I braced for the impact of the cold ground, but it never came. Someone had caught me. As fast as possible, I regained my balance and stepped back so I could turn and face my savior. Rouge stood directly in front of me. A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. "You really should be more careful," he said, clearly amused by the situation.
"We-well I-," I was cut off by the sound of Rouge chuckling. Actually, it was more like giggling. It was strange to see such a thing and my embarrassment instantly washed away. I couldn't help but smile.
Rouge's P.O.V.
I chuckled at the blondes antics, that is, until I saw her smile. Each time I see that smile it takes my breath away. My laughter died down almost instantly.
"What is it?" she questioned.
"Why are you smiling like that?"
"Rouge, are you blushing?" she questioned. We stood still for a moment as the realization dawned on us both. Lucy's face suddenly turned to a deep red and I'm sure mine did the same. Way to go, Rouge. You almost had a sweet moment. Not that it should matter to me, but did it? My thoughts drifted back to two nights ago. I told her I wanted to be more than friends, so were we dating? It didn't seem like it. Besides, I'm almost positive that not a single person would support that type of relationship. I pulled myself away from these thoughts as I forced myself to return to my poker face. Once seeing this, Lucy pouted. I have never been more confused in my life.
"What?"
"Why did you do that?"
"Do what?"
"Hide your emotions again," she stated as if it should be obvious. "I already told you, didn't I? Your smile suits you." I had no control over my face as I blushed yet again. How did this girl, who I just met, have such an effect on me? It just wasn't plausible, and yet, here I was blushing madly.
Lucy's P.O.V.
I don't think the blush ever fully faded from my cheeks as I continued to walk with Rouge.
"What are you doing out so early?" he questioned.
"I could ask the same of you," I replied.
"Yeah, but I asked you first."
"I happened to wake up early so once I got dressed I decided to go for an early walk."
"You too?" I questioned.
Just as Lucy was about to say something, an obnoxious voice called out from behind us.
"What is going on here?" We both turned to see who the voice belonged to.
Author's Note: So was it okay? This is my fifth story and I still can't tell if my writing is any good. Anyway, review, follow, favorite please. It would make my day.
