Chapter 9- Stay With Me
Kevin, Lucy, and Alexis went back to his house. Lucy had wanted to go home, but Kevin insisted she go to his house. The driver took Kevin's bags inside and left Lucy's in the car. It was very cold outside as they all waled into the house. When they got inside the big clock on the wall said 8:30 p.m. Kevin told Lucy to stay downstairs, and to tell his chef if she wanted anything to eat. Kevin also told her he had to give Alexis a bath and put her to bed. It took Kevin an hour to get Alexis to sleep, by the time he got downstairs it was 9:30 p.m.
"Sorry it took me so long to get back," Kevin told her.
"It's ok, I was just watching t.v."
"Did you miss me?"
"Maybe."
"Is that a yes?" Kevin asked. Lucy just shrugged her shoulders. Then she smiled. "Ok, I'll take that as a yes."
"You should." Kevin walked over to Lucy and kissed her.
" I missed doing that."
"Me too, Kevin." Lucy then looked at the clock and saw that it was 9:45. " Kevin I need to go."
"Don't. Stay with me."
"I can't, I really need to go. I haven't been at work for a few days and I really need to go home and read my files. I have to go into work early. That big Johnson Case is in court tomorrow, and I am the lawyer." Kevin realized that the t.v. was still on and he was going to turn it off when Josh Gracin's "Stay With Me (Brass Bed)" came on, on CMT.
Baby, the clock on the wall is lying (Chorus) Baby, there's just no use in hiding (Chorus) Baby don't go it looks like it's starting to rain (Chorus)
It's not really that late
It's too cold outside to be walking around the streets of this town
Anywhere if you think you have to be can wait
(Baby) Why don't you stay with me
Share all your secrets tonight
We can make believe the morning sun never will rise
Come and lay your head on this big brass bed
And we'll be alright as long as you stay with me, yeah
The way that I am feeling right now
With you standing there baby I swear I can't help but stare
Girl you're wearing me out, wearing me out
(Baby) So why dont you stay with me share all your secrets tonight
We can make believe
the morning sun never will rise
Come and lay your head on this big brass bed
We'll be alright as long as you stay with me
And it's so warm here in this apartment wrapped up in this blanket
(Baby) Why don't you stay with me
Share all your secrets tonight
We can make believe the morning sun never will rise
Come and lay your head on this big brass bed
And we'll be alright as long as you stay with me, yeah
Stay with me
"Please stay."
"I have to go Kevin. I'll see you in the morning."
"Luce, please," Kevin begged.
"Kevin, I can't. Now I have to go. I'll see you in the morning." With that Lucy walked to the door, but Kevin stopped her. Lucy once again told him she couldn't stay. Lucy gave Kevin a quick kiss and walked outside, but them realized that she didn't have her car with her.
"I'll take you home, Lucy. Let me go and tell Mike to keep an eye on Lexi."
"Ok."
Kevin went inside and told Mike to keep an eye on Lexi, then he went back outside to where Lucy was standing, grabbed her bags out of the car and took them to his Suburban. He smiled at Lucy as he put her bags in the back. They got into the car and Kevin pulled out of the garage.
"Alexis is really sweet, Kevin."
"She is really a good kid."
"What grade is she in?"
"1st grade. We had her when I was 21, I was really stupid then. Her mom was 19. My parents weren't too happy, but they've grown to love her."
"Why did you wait so long to tell me about her?" Lucy questioned.
"Because I wasn't sure if you would still like me. I was afraid if you found out about her you would leave, and you were not really wanting to date and I was afraid that if you found out about her it would give you another reason to leave. So now that you know about her are you going to stay?"
"Yes."
The rest of the ride was silent, except for the occasional small talk. Kevin pulled up to Lucy's apartment and got out with her. Lucy told him he didn't have to, but he insisted that he carry her bags in for her. When they got to her door she grabbed her keys out of her purse, gave Kevin a kiss goodnight, grabbed her bags, and walked inside her house and locked the door. Lucy checked her messages and found that her mom called to make sure she got in safely. 'I'll call her in the morning,' Lucy thought. Lucy took her bags to her room and unpacked them. She then went to her bathroom and took a bath and got ready for bed.
Lucy's alarm went off at 5:30. She got out of bed and got dressed. She put on a black knee-length skirt, a button down quarter-length sleeved shirt, a black blazer, and a pair of black pumps. She did her hair and make-up. She then grabbed her purse and walked out the door. She walked down the stairs and out the door, when she got outside she put on her Chanel sunglasses ans went to her car. Lucy stopped by Starbuck's and got a latte.
Lucy arrived to work at 7:30. She said hi to security guards, and to all the other employs. She then went to her office. At 8:00 Mrs. Doiley came into her office and handed her some paperwork. Lucy did the work. an hour later Lucy went into the office and saw Ben. "Morning Ben."
"Morning Lucy."
"How far did you get on the Wilson case?"
"Pretty far," Ben told her.
The rest of the day went smoothly. Lucy didn't see Kevin at all that day. Ben told her Kevin called and said the Alexis was sick, and that he was going to stay with her. Lucy worked on all of her cases and at 5:00 she went home. She ordered Chinese for dinner. When her food was delivered she ate it, then got ready for bed. At 9:00, Lucy went to bed and slept peacefully.
