Caught in the Wind: Chapter 12

Disclaimer: see previous chapters…

A/N: Due to lack of reviews for the last chapter I'm going to have to ask that I get 5 reviews from different people before I post the next chapter. I'm sorry I have to do this, but I only got one review for the last chapter. Other than that I'm sorry for how long it's been since my last update, and please R/R. One last thing, I noticed that I said Lucy and Jeremy were going out in 1998 which I notice now would have never happened in the show, for Lucy would only have been 15 and I think it would have been a while until they met, from what I understand, anyway on with the story.

One month later…

Lucy sat beside a fairly big pool. Her legs stretched out behind her, and Mary beside her. It had only been four months since their mother's passing. It had been so hard for them to cope with their loss. Now they were finally getting their well-deserved vacation. The beach had been Annie's favorite place in the world as well as Lucy's that is until her mother fell ill.

" I miss her," Lucy said looking to her startled sister, " I don't think I really want to be here considering it was her favorite place."

" She wouldn't want you to forget her, or the special place you guys shared."

" Can I ask you a question?" Lucy asked with sincerity.

" Yes. Anything. What do you want to know?"

" Do you believe in love at first site?"

Mary shrugged and looked at her, " I guess. I mean I haven't found my love yet, but that doesn't mean anything."

Lucy nodded and stood up, " Trust me Mare. You'll find him someday, and that will be a day you will never forget."

"Lucy you don't think you love Jeremy do you?" Mary questioned her sister with wide eyes.

Lucy shrugged, " Only time will tell."

" Lucy you are 15. You have your whole life ahead of you to find the love of your life."

" The truth is," she looked Mary in the eyes, " I think I already have." And with that she walked away leaving her sister in aw.

Their relationship didn't last long. Sure, she loved him, but he didn't love her back. The truth is there was someone else. Someone Jeremy viewed as his soul mate, and that person was not Lucy.

Lucy awoke in sweat tears running down her eyes. She thought about what she had told Mary those few months after their mother's death. "I love Jeremy." The word's repeated in her head over and over again. It was not the actual words themselves that puzzled Lucy it was what they met. I love you. She thought she loved Jeremy. She thought she loved Kevin, but seriously the thing that puzzled her were her own words. Did she really love Kevin? He was special. There were no similarities between Jeremy and Kevin. Kevin loved Lucy. Jeremy did not. Kevin made Lucy feel special. He made her feel safe. Jeremy simply was not him.

Wrapping her blanket close around her she let out a loud pitch scream, " Kevin!"

Kevin came to her bedside in an instant, " What is it honey?" He wrapped his arms around her.

She buried her head in his chest and he kissed her forehead, " mmmhemam."

Kevin let out a sigh and shook his head, " You are going to have to speak up."

" It's nothing really. I just wanted to tell you I love you."

" I love you too Luce, but you really scared me. I thought there was a serious problem."

" There's nothing to be worried about. Now please just lie down beside me and keep me safe."

He ran his hand through her hair, " I would do anything for you."

Looking at her watch Lucy ran through the lobby. Hair fastened up into a tight bun and her rosy cheeks looked so simple, yet elegant. She looked over to Kevin and smiled with a nod of her head. With one last glance back at him she mouthed the word's "Thanks."

" Wait Luce."

" What is it Kevin? I have to get to a job interview."

" You're looking for a job?"

" Yes. I'm running out of money, and how do you expect me to keep rent?"

" Oh Luce. You don't have to do that. You're a my guest."

" I would feel better if you would allow me to."

Kevin nodded, " Very well. As I was about to say before are you doing anything tonight? I know this cute little Italian place we could go to."

Lucy gave him a polite smile, " Sure. I get off work at five."

" I love you," He told her blowing her a kiss.

" You too." Lucy said walking through the doors.

Kevin looked at Lucy as she left in a daze. He loved her, and she loved him. That was all that mattered. That's right Kinkirk, you got a date with Lucy Camden!

" You are such a I don't know," Ben said as he walked up and slapped his brother on the back.

"But I finally found someone."

" You hold onto her Kevin cause she's one and a kind."

" She's my Lucy. Plain and simple."

This is too much Luce. Lucy told herself as she applied her powder. There is no way you are going to be able to leave him to go back to Glen Oak. She looked at herself with pity. She had finally found someone, and now all she could think about is leaving. I know I love him, but I miss my home.

" You ready?" Kevin questioned knocking on the door.

" As ready as I'll ever be," Lucy said as they left the building.

The table was beautiful. Red roses were placed in the center of the table and a bottle of champagne sat to the left. As they sat down Kevin looked into her eyes and kissed her gently on the lips. She was it. She was his soul mate.

" Would you like any?" Kevin questioned motioning towards the champagne.

Lucy shook her head, " I don't drink."

" I admire you."

" No one in my family ever drank," Lucy said with a shrug, " I never found the need to, and I never really wanted to try."

" Why don't you just try some?"

" I really rather not."

" I don't mean to force you I just thought maybe since it's a special occasion you would like to try some."

Lucy shook her head, " I don't think I will."

Kevin turned towards the waiter, " Only a glass please."

The waiter nodded and opened the bottle, and within a second it was everywhere. Including Lucy's brand new dress.

" I'm truly so sorry," the waiter apologized handing Lucy a napkin, " Someone must have shaken it."

" I'm sorry that happened." Kevin said taking Lucy's hand.

" It was an accident. I really don't care."

" What do you say we get out of here and go home?"

" That's fine with me."

Kevin and Lucy crept down the hallway unnoticed except for the muffled giggling between them. With a creep the door to Kevin's room opened, and Kevin and Lucy were left together in the dark room.

"You know you don't have to do this," Kevin said planting a kiss on her lips as he eased her back onto the bed.

Lucy gave him a smile, " It's ok. I want to. I love you."

Even though it took Lucy a while to realize it she knew there was something special about Kevin, something you cannot buy in stores. He wasn't Jeremy he was his own individual. He was Kevin. Her Kevin. He made her feel special. He made her feel loved, and for all those reasons she knew he was the one.

A/N: So how did you like it? Anyway as I said before 5 reviews and I'll update. Other than that look for the next chapter coming soon.
