"So there's this great little theater downtown that I hadn't even
noticed before," Lux was explaining her Craig as they walked down the hall
from computer science.
"It is called Dipson something?" Craig asked.
"Yeah, I think so. It plays all these cool independent films."
"yeah, I love that place," Craig added.
"You watch independent films?" Lux asked surprised.
"Yeah, only problem is most of my friends don't, so it's hard to find someone to go with."
"I love independent films," Lux added, "I really want to see Lost in Translation."
"Me too, I heard Bill Murray was brilliant in it," Craig said enthusiastically. "We should go see it sometime," he continued, being careful where he tread. He knew Lux was with Sean, and if he worded this incorrectly she could take it the wrong way. Lux, however, didn't seem to care or overanalyze the question.
"We definitely should. During Christmas break," she added. Craig nodded his head happy she had agreed.
"I gotta go here," he said pointing to a separate hall.
"Ok, well, I'll see you later then," Lux said saying goodbye to Craig. She watched him walk away as Paige approached her from the other side.
"Well, you two seem rather friendly," Paige said.
"We're just friends Paige, I don't know how many times I have to tell you that," Lux said.
"Well you can't blame me for wondering since you've been hanging out with Craig much more than you've been hanging out with Sean. I can't believe you haven't talk to him for two weeks!" Lux sighed and continued her way to her locker.
Lux had enough to worry about with midterms fast approaching. Plus, she had sent in most of her college applications. She hadn't talked to Sean since she had yelled at him. True, he had tried to approach her in school, but she always quickly made her way somewhere else. She wanted to talk to him, but she also knew that if she did, she would just get upset when he wouldn't tell her anything. It had been about 2 weeks and Christmas vacation was coming up soon. Lux's family had decided to stay in town and she had no idea what Sean was doing, but she had an idea that he would remain in Toronto as well.
"You do realize that if I didn't talk to Spin for two weeks, he would have thought we had broken up," Paige muttered to Lux as they passed Sean's locker without stopping.
"Yeah, well maybe we have broken up, I don't even know anymore," Lux said pushing a stray strand of hair out of her eyes, "All I know is that I really don't have the time to deal with his secret underground life or whatever."
"You study too hard," Paige said as she watched Lux pack her backpack for the weekend.
"So I've been told," Lux said rolling her eyes.
"So what are you plans this weekend?" Paige asked.
"Lux can I talk to you?" Paige turned around and so did Lux to see who had interrupted her before she could answer Paige. It was Sean. Lux tried to avoid his gaze. "Well I'm going to go, see you two later," Paige said hastily making an exit. Lux sighed and continued to take out the necessary books.
"Come on Lux, you can't keep ignoring me. Don't you think two weeks is punishment enough?" Sean said taking Paige's spot next to Lux at her locker.
"I'm not trying to punish you," Lux said glaring at Sean.
"Well it sure as hell seems like you are."
"Sean, I don't have time for this right now ok? I've just been really busy with school work and college stuff." She answered.
"So are you busy tonight?" Sean asked hopefully. Lux looked at Sean in disbelief.
"That's it? You just want to ignore what happened?!"
"Look, Lux, I'm sick of fighting with you ok? I just want a regular relationship, and if that means you can't accept the fact that I'm not going to tell you everything going on in my life, then I don't know how it's going to work."
"Sean it's not about you telling me everything! But I think I have a right to know when you come to my house beat up and all your other friends seem to know what's going on but me!" Sean ran his fingers through his hair exasperatedly.
"Believe it or not, I didn't come here to fight with you ok? I just want us to hang out tonight."
Lux looked at him and let out a deep breath to calm herself.
"My parents are going out tonight, you can come over if you want," Lux said finally giving in. Sean held back a smile.
"Ok, I'll bring a movie, you order the pizza?" he asked. Lux nodded her head and then shut her locker door.
"I'll see you tonight," she said walking away from him to the door. Sean watched her retreating back. She wasn't being completely nice, but it was a start.
* * * *
Lux looked at the clock in her kitchen. It was 6:30. Sean would be over soon. She put away the book she was reading and dialed the pizza place, ordering a medium pepperoni pizza, she knew Sean would eat most of it.
Ding Dong.
Lux answered the door and let Sean in.
"Hey," he said as he came in.
"Hi," she said. He let his eyes skim over her body, she was dressed in a simple pair of jeans and long sleeved mesh shirt, but she looked impeccable. Her black hair was hanging straight down her back. "What movie did you bring?" she asked breaking his gaze. He looked down at the choices in his hands.
"Scary Movie 2 or Identity," he said. Lux nodded.
"I just ordered pizza, it should be here soon," she told him. Sean followed her into the family room where they plopped down on the couch. "We probably shouldn't start the movie until the food gets here," she said. Sean nodded and swallowed hard. It was hard to ignore the awkwardness in the air. However, he didn't know what to start a conversation with, so he just sat their gazing up at the ceiling. He heard Lux choke back a laugh.
"What?" he asked looking at her.
"You're twiddling your thumbs," she said grinning. He looked down at his hands.
"So?"
"So that's such an old lady thing to do."
"It is not!"
"It is so," she said.
"Are you calling me an old woman," Sean asked trying to look offended.
"Maybe," Lux said trying to keep that air of mystery. Sean looked over into her kitchen and saw a bunch of books sprawled out on her table.
"Yeah, well at least I didn't spend my Friday night studying," he said. Lux faked offense.
"I had a lot of work to do!" She defended herself.
"Or you're just a big dork," Sean said as he reached over and poked her in the side. Lux jumped up and hit his hand away. But it was too late; Sean reached over and tickled her on her stomach.
"Sean don't!" she yelped between laughter. Sean pinned her down on the couch and easily held her down as he continued to tickle her. "I CAN'T BREATH!" she yelled trying to push him off her between laughing. Sean finally stopped.
"Sorry," he said, without moving. Her eyes were watering.
"It's ok," she said looking at his bright blue eyes, not pushing him off her. Sean couldn't pull his eyes away from her. He leaned down and brushed his lips across hers for a fleeting second. He felt her tense under him and lean up towards him. He pressed his lips against her again. He groaned softly, it felt so good. He hadn't kissed her for two weeks, and this was bringing back all those sensations that made him never want to fight with Lux again. Lux pressed herself closer to him, dragging her hands through the back of his hair, gently massaging the back of his head. She felt Sean's hand cautiously move down over her shirt towards where it hit her pants. Lux lost focus of what Sean's hands were doing because his lips were pressing harder against hers, drawing out the kisses. She felt herself arch her back to his touch. Sean groaned again and kissed her neck softly. Lux kept her eyes closed, enjoying the sensations coursing through her body.
Ding Dong.
Sean froze in his moments. Could that be her parents? Why would they be home so early? And why would they ring the doorbell.
"It's probably the pizza," Lux muttered against his lips. The pizza, of course, Sean thought to himself. He didn't want to let her go, but he knew he had to. Reluctantly he got up and she went to the door. She quickly paid and brought the pizza back into the family room where Sean had already set up two plates and glasses for them. Lux tried to straighten her hair in some kind of semblance of order. Sean noticed her tugging her fingers through it.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Make out hair," she said smiling slightly.
"It looks hot," Sean said handing her a plate with pizza on it. Lux stopped running her hands through her hair and took the plate from him. She smiled at him and plopped down on the couch next to him. Over the next two hours, they forgot all their problems and began to act like a normal couple.
* * * *
"Hey," Lux greeted Sean the next day at the dinner.
"Hey," he said as he gave her a quick kiss.
"Nice to see you two talking again," Paige said as Spinner chuckled beside her. Lux and Sean ignored this comment.
"So what are the plans today?" Spinner asked the girls.
"Something that doesn't include you two," Paige said.
"Hey?" Spinner said looking surprised. Lux poached a French fry off Sean's plate.
"I saw that," Sean muttered.
"I know," Lux said grinning. "So what are we doing Paige?"
"WE are going Christmas shopping," Paige informed her.
"Ooh right, so we can't go with you because you are going to buy us presents," Spinner said glad to have finally figured it out.
* * * *
"So what do I get Spinner?" Paige asked as they went through a sporting goods' store.
"I'm sure he'll be the happiest man alive if you give him a bottle of spray cheese," Lux answered honestly.
"Ok, please hun, let's so not talk about our boyfriends' bad habits. At least I know what Spinner's are," Paige said. Lux rolled her eyes.
"Ok ok, I'm sorry. I think I'm going to get Sean this though," Lux said. Paige turned towards her to see what she was pointing at. It was a grey hoodie. "We came here a couple times and he said he wanted it," Lux explained.
"Well of course, it screams Sean," Paige said fingering it. "Now what should I get for Spinner?"
"Something to do with basketball?" Lux suggested.
"Maybe." Paige said thinking.
"I have no idea what to get Craig," Lux said looking around.
"You're getting something for Craig?" Paige asked suspiciously.
"Yeah," Lux said noticing the look on Paige's face. "He's been a really good friend to me. Plus he helps me with computer science stuff." Lux added. Paige smirked.
"He's just hoping those cozy little study sessions will become something more." Lux hit her friend gently on the arm. "Oh come on Lux, it's so obvious he's into you. If I were Sean I'd be more than a little jealous, not to mention suspicious."
"Sean trusts me," Lux said.
"Yes, and the question is, should he?"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"You're telling me that you feel nothing for Craig?" Paige asked. Lux couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"No, of course not Paige, we're just friends. That's all I look at him as."
"Well you have to admit he's kind of cute."
"Sounds like Spinner the one who should be worried," Lux shot. Paige rolled her eyes.
"Please, even you can admit harmlessly that Craig is hot." Lux thought for a moment. Of course she thought Craig was hot, most girls did. But it looked like Paige had enough ideas in her head for her to worry about.
"So what do you suggest I get him?" Lux said trying to change the subject. Paige noticed the move but chose to ignore it.
"Whatever," Paige muttered under her breath as they headed to another store.
* * * *
"So I just found out I won't be here for Christmas," Sean said to Lux rather abruptly when he was sitting at her kitchen table later that day.
"What?" Lux said so surprised she stopped drying the dish she was holding.
"Yeah, Tracker just told me today that we are heading up north to visit my parents. You know, I haven't seen them in quite a while," Sean said. Lux nodded her head. She was disappointed, but tried not to show it.
"Ohh, I see. When are you leaving?"
"In three days," Sean said. "We were going to leave tomorrow since school let out yesterday, but Tracker decided it would be too soon." Lux's eyes widened.
"Wow, three days is soon."
"Yeah, so let's do something Monday night, you know, as a parting ways/Christmas present," Sean said as his arm snaked around Lux's waste while she put down the dish towel. She turned around to face him, amazed that he could sneak from the table to her unnoticed by her.
"Ok, I got your present today," she said.
"What is it?" Sean asked eagerly. Lux laughed.
"You'll just have to wait and see mister. I'll give it to you before you leave," Lux said. Sean kissed her softly.
"Please tell me what it is," he said, trying to convince her with his kisses. Lux shook her head no but let him continue kissing her. He nudged her towards her family room, and she followed his lead, stumbling over his feet gently as she tried to find her way with him still kissing her. Sean somehow managed to find the couch and sat down on it, pulling Lux onto his lap. She straddled him, kissing him hard. Something about his lips were intoxicating. She moaned gently as he slipped his tongue in her mouth. Sean's fingered slowly made their way under the bottom of her shirt, she didn't stop him. Lux moved herself closer to him, feeling parts of him she had never felt before. One of his hands was tangled in her hair, and the other one was making slow circles on the side of her stomach. She felt his hand slowly slip higher up her skin. His hand gently hit the base of her bra. She pulled away from Sean's kiss slightly and placed her hand on top of his.
"Wait," she whispered.
"What's wrong?" Sean asked through ragged breaths.
"We should stop," Lux said. It was much harder to say than she thought it would be. Sean groaned and licked his lips, but nodded his head.
"Ok," he said with his eyes still closed as Lux moved off his lap. "I better go anyways, you're parents are going to be home soon," Sean said, awkwardly trying to figure out how to move off the couch without embarrassing himself. Lux nodded her head. Sean watched Lux turn around to lead him to the door and grabbed his jacket, covering himself in the process. "See you later," he said kissing her softly.
"Bye," Lux said as she closed the door behind him.
* * * *
Lux ran her fingers through her hair as she heard her parent's pull up the driveway.
"Shit," she muttered to herself as she looked at her reflection in the mirror. With her lips slightly swollen and her hair in a tangled mess, even her parents wouldn't miss the fact that she had just finished making out with someone. She quickly splashed cold water on her face and tied her hair in a low ponytail. She looked a little neater.
"Lux, dinner's ready," her mom called as soon as she walked in the door. She laid out boxes of Chinese food she had picked up. Lux came out of the bathroom and set up 3 plates. They ate dinner silently, not any differently from when they normally would have. Her parents were too tired from a long hard day at work to talk. After dinner, Lux quietly collected the dishes and put them in the dishwasher. Then she excused herself to her bedroom. Approximately half and hour later, she heard her mother call her voice.
"Lux, there's someone here to see you." Lux expected it to be Paige, she said she would drop by sometime that evening. She bounded down the stairs, but was faced by Sean looking at the ground with his hood up. In fact, if she hadn't known Sean enough to recognize him, she wouldn't have been able to tell who he was.
"Hey," she said. Her mother was watching her suspiciously. "Um, come up to my room," she said to Sean, who still wasn't looking at her. Lux noticed her mother watching her carefully, but chose to ignore it. Sean followed her up the stairs. "What's wrong?" she asked as she closed her bedroom door behind her. Sean pulled off his hood and turned to face Lux.
Lux gasped.
"What the hell happened?" Lux asked with her eyes wide. Sean was beat up worse than she had ever seen him before. His nose was bleeding profusely and he already had a black eye. His lip was cut open and he has holding a Kleenex around his fist, which was bleeding at the knuckles. Lux had never seen so much blood on one person before. "Oh my god," she said to herself as she felt herself start to shake. "Sean, please, please tell me what happened," she said as she watched Sean take some more Kleenex from her desk and hold it to his nose. Her eyes started to fill with tears, but she tried to hold them in. She walked over to him and watched him hold the tissue to his nose.
"Sean, please," she said in a shaky voice. Sean looked at her and took a deep breath.
* * * *
Is Sean about to finally speak? Please review and I'll update soon!
"It is called Dipson something?" Craig asked.
"Yeah, I think so. It plays all these cool independent films."
"yeah, I love that place," Craig added.
"You watch independent films?" Lux asked surprised.
"Yeah, only problem is most of my friends don't, so it's hard to find someone to go with."
"I love independent films," Lux added, "I really want to see Lost in Translation."
"Me too, I heard Bill Murray was brilliant in it," Craig said enthusiastically. "We should go see it sometime," he continued, being careful where he tread. He knew Lux was with Sean, and if he worded this incorrectly she could take it the wrong way. Lux, however, didn't seem to care or overanalyze the question.

"Hey," she said. Her mother was watching her suspiciously. "Um, come up to my room," she said to Sean, who still wasn't looking at her. Lux noticed her mother watching her carefully, but chose to ignore it. Sean followed her up the stairs. "What's wrong?" she asked as she closed her bedroom door behind her. Sean pulled off his hood and turned to face Lux.
Lux gasped.
"What the hell happened?" Lux asked with her eyes wide. Sean was beat up worse than she had ever seen him before. His nose was bleeding profusely and he already had a black eye. His lip was cut open and he has holding a Kleenex around his fist, which was bleeding at the knuckles. Lux had never seen so much blood on one person before. "Oh my god," she said to herself as she felt herself start to shake. "Sean, please, please tell me what happened," she said as she watched Sean take some more Kleenex from her desk and hold it to his nose. Her eyes started to fill with tears, but she tried to hold them in. She walked over to him and watched him hold the tissue to his nose.
"Sean, please," she said in a shaky voice. Sean looked at her and took a deep breath.
