Falling For You

"This is it! This is how I die!" George panted and laid down on the hill we were climbing up.

I snorted. "Don't be so dramatic. We've only been hiking for about twenty minutes."

This was another one of Lockwood's "team bonding" ideas. He thought it was a great idea to go hiking and that the fresh air would do us some good. The rest of us didn't think so. I'm pretty sure Kipps wanted to stab Lockwood with a stick at one point.

"Yeah!" George yelled. "Twenty minutes too long!"

I sighed and helped him up. We were a while behind the other three members of Lockwood and Co. We had some distance to cover. Once George was up, I put my hair into a ponytail and kept on walking.

By the time we reached the top of the hill, Lockwood, George, and Holly were standing there with amused expressions.

"What took you so long?" Lockwood smirked. I took the water bottle from his hands and took a sip. I gave it back to him and sat down on the hill, stretching my legs out.

"George had a midlife crisis," I explained. Holly sat down next to me and showed me a flower she had found on the way. I took it out of her hands and threw it on the floor.

"That was rude!" Holly shrieked and stood up. She brushed the dirt of her pants and stormed away.

I looked at what the rest of my team was doing. Holly was looking for another flower to replace the one I broke, George was drawing in the dirt and swearing, and Kipps was admiring a tree.

I pulled my knees to my chest and sat there. My legs were all itching because I was wearing shorts and I had sweat dripping down my back. It wasn't very glamorous.

After a few minutes, Lockwood decided it was time to get a move on. Lockwood helped me up and lead the way down the rest of the trail. He made a comment on how the weather was perfect today.

Kipps looked at me. "Can I shoot him?" He grumbled.

I looked back at him. "Not unless I'm the one loading the gun," I stated and followed our boss.

"Luce!" I heard him call. I walked over to him with my eyebrow raised. "Look!" He said and pointed to a rope hanging from a tree. It was one of those swinging ropes that you used to jump into the water. It was hanging over a small lake and it didn't look very sturdy.

"What about it?" I asked, impatiently.

"I'm going to swing on it," he smiled and grabbed the rope.

I looked at him nervously. "I don't think that's a good idea," I explained. That rope was not going to hold him.

Lockwood looked offended. "Why not? What do you have against fun?"

I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Lockwood, the rope is going to break and then you are going to fall right in the lake. We didn't bring any other clothes for you to change into!"

Lockwood gave me a mischievous look. "How about we make a deal," he stated. "If I make it across the lake, you owe me a kiss. If you're right, and I fall into the water, you can decide whether or not you want to kiss me," he replied.

I snorted. "How is that a deal, exactly?" Either way, there was a chance I would kiss Lockwood.

"I'm going for it!" Lockwood announced and pulled the rope back.

I sighed and shook my head. "I still don't think it's a good idea," I yelled back.

George walked behind me and grinned. "Don't listen to her, Lockwood! She has no idea what's she's talking about!"

"You got this, Tony!" Kipps shouted as well. Holly also give a little cheer.

I glared at all of them. "You guys are terrible!" I mumbled. They just wanted to get back at Lockwood for making us do this. They knew that rope was going to break.

Lockwood took a step back and then jumped on to it. He was then flying across the lake, with a grin on his face.

He smiled at me. "See, Luce! There was nothing to be worried about! I'm-"

Whatever he was about to say, I'll never know. At that moment, the rope decided to break and Lockwood went falling into the lake.

I shook my hand and walked over to the edge of the lake to help him out. The rest of my friends were too busy cracking up on the ground.

I stuck my hand out to help him up. He grabbed my hand and smiled. "Thanks, Luce!"

He then decided to pull me in. I shrieked and fell into the water. For a moment, I was underwater, and in the next Lockwood was pulling me up to the surface.

He looked at me and grinned. "I think you just fell for me," he said with a serious face and I slapped his arm. It didn't think it was very funny.

I wiped my hair out of my face and glared at him. "I hate you!" I yelled at him, but I couldn't help as a smile appeared on my face.

"Thanks for joining me," he smirked. I smiled and joined my lips with his. I wrapped my arm around his neck and he wrapped his arm around my waist in return.

"At least some of us got in some good bonding time!" Holly chucked. I splashed her with water and smiled back.

Soon enough, all five of us were swimming around in the lake. This day couldn't have been more perfect.

An hour later, we were all sitting in the grass drying off and watching the sunset. Lockwood pulled me closer to him, so I was sitting in his lap. My back was against his chest and his chin rested on my head.

He pressed a light kiss to my check. "I hope you never forget how much I love you," he whispered into my ear.

I turned around so I was facing him and gave him a small smile. "There are somethings I could never forget," I whispered and pulled him in for one final kiss. In that moment, I felt nothing but happiness.
