"I'm Breathless", part 3...

Chapter Summary: Lucy and Kevin decide to come up with a plan to get Roxanne and Chandler together since they've been awkwardly crushing on each other since they first met, but it causes them to become closer in the process.

A/N: Oh yeah, this is in August of 2002, two months after chapter 2 took place, so Lucy, Kevin, Roxanne, and Chandler(though he and Roxanne are not dating) are all good friends and Roxanne has softened up a bit since we last saw her in chapter 2.

Chapter 3: "Hanky Panky"

We pick up on this story in early August. The final month of summer. The final chapters of summer's paradise are slowly coming to a close.

But, enough about that. The bond between Lucy and Kevin has only strengthened since we last saw them in June.

And as for Kevin's partner, Roxanne Richardson, she has become a good friend of Lucy and Kevin's, and the same goes with Lucy's minister friend, Chandler Hampton.

Now, Chandler and Roxanne have a problem: they like each other, but are too afraid of the stinging feelings of rejection to tell one another. Being their friends, Lucy and Kevin are going to set them up. They four are currently spending a few weeks of getaway at a beach resort in sunny LA. Lucy and Roxanne are sharing a room, and so are Kevin and Chandler.

Well, their plain is quite simple. Lucy will invite Roxanne to lunch at the hotel restaurant and Kevin will do the with Chandler. Then, Lucy and Kevin will 'accidentally' run into each other, get Chandler and Roxanne together, and then make up some lame excuse to leave. But, little do the couple know, they are not just hooking up two friends, they are strengthen their bond of love even more.

time goes by…

"Hurry up, Roxanne!" Lucy called from outside of her and Roxanne's hotel room.

"I'm coming! Gosh dang it, Lucy, keep your shirt on!" Roxanne then walked out of the door, dressed in a white blouse with new blue jeans and her long blonde hair hanging loosely.

"Fine, I will," Lucy grinned, "unless Kevin comes around!"

Roxanne laughed and hit Lucy jokingly on the shoulder, "man, Luce, that's sooo nasty!"

"Thanks, I love you too," Lucy said sarcastically.

more time going by…

Lucy and Roxanne entered the hotel restaurant about five minutes later. Lucy looked around for Kevin and Chandler. Roxanne was wondering what Lucy was looking for.

"Uh, Lucy, what are you looking for?" Roxanne asked.

Just then, Kevin and Chandler headed towards them. Lucy smiled.

"Kevin, Chandler, hey," she greeted them like she had no clue they'd be there.

"Hi Lucy, Roxanne," Kevin replied.

"Hello Lucy…h-h-hi Roxanne," Chandler said nervously because he was face to face with the woman he liked.

"Hey Kev…uh, hey Chandler," Roxanne said, she was also nervous.

Lucy and Kevin then made up terribly lame excuses to leave the restaurant. After a round of 'I thought that we were having lunch together' from Roxanne and Chandler, Lucy and Kevin finally convinced them that they needed to leave and let them eat lunch…alone.

After Lucy and Kevin left, Chandler and Roxanne just looked at each other, nervous as the dickens…

time, time, time, see it go by…

it's later that night already, time sure flies…

Later that night, in the hotel's ballroom type place, there was music and dancing. After a day of getting to know each other better and admitting long kept feelings, Chandler and Roxanne slow danced to S Club 7's Two In A Million rather peacefully. Lucy and Kevin watched from the background, holding hands. They had revealed their plan to their friends earlier in the day, now they were watching their plan's results.

"You know, Roxanne," Chandler said, "I'm glad Lucy and Kevin set us up the way they did today, or else we might've never gotten the chance that we did."

"Yeah," Roxanne agreed, "I'm glad I told you about my feelings (Chandler gently mouthed 'me too' to her, then came a pause)…you know, I really do like you."

"I like you too," Chandler replied.

The two kissed as the chorus to Two In A Million played…

We are, two in a million

We've got all the luck we could be given

If the world should stop, we'd still have each other

And no matter what, we'll be forever as one

…their lips parted as the chorus ended. They both knew things would work out between them. Chandler Hampton and Roxanne Richardson were now an us. And they had just shared their first kiss, which reminded Lucy and Kevin of their first kiss back in April.

"And, our plan was a success," Lucy said happily.

"Naturally, Luce, was there ever a doubt in your mind it wouldn't?" Kevin asked.

"No Kevin, I didn't have a doubt, I knew they'd get together, they just needed that little push. And now, Chandler and Roxanne have what we have," Lucy said.

"What's that, Luce?" Kevin asked.

"True love that will last forever," Lucy smiled.

Kevin smiled, catching onto Lucy's words, "I love you, too."

The couple kissed for a long time. They finally left the room to find a private place to continue making out just as a new song started to play from the ballroom stereo…

"Hanky Panky"

Come over here!

Some girls, they like candy, and others, they like to grind
I'll settle for the back of your hand somewhere on my behind
Treat me like I'm a bad girl, even when I'm being good to you
I don't want you to thank me, you can just spank me, mmm

Some guys like to sweet talk, and others, they like to tease
Tie my hands behind my back and, ooo, I'm in ecstasy
Don't slobber me with kisses, I can get that from my sisters
Before I get too cranky, you better

Nothing like a good spanky (good spanky)
Don't take out your handkerchiefs
I don't wanna cry, I just wanna hanky panky
Like hanky panky (hanky panky)
Nothing like a good spanky (good spanky)
Don't take out your handkerchiefs
I don't wanna cry, I just wanna hanky panky guy

Oooo

Please don't call a doctor, cause there's nothing wrong with me
I just like things a little rough and you better not disagree
Cause I don't like a big softie, no, I like someone mean and bossy
Let me speak to you frankly, you better

Like hanky panky (hanky panky)
Nothing like a good spanky (good spanky)
Don't take out your handkerchiefs
I don't wanna cry, I just wanna hanky panky
Like hanky panky (hanky panky)
Nothing like a good spanky (good spanky)

Like hanky panky (hanky panky)
Nothing like a good spanky (good spanky)

The doctor said, "lady, she's a beautiful girl"
He gave me a spanky and the doctor smiled
So give it up, honey, cause I want it
Yeah
Hanky panky, good spanky, don't wanna cry, I just wanna

End Of Chapter 3

A/N: And chapter three comes to an end. I know it wasn't as good as the one I wrote yesterday, but I still liked it. I think it brought out the romance of Chandler and Roxanne and Lucy and Kevin quite nicely. Oh yeah, the S Club 7 song "Two In A Million" is not mine, I just thought it'd that particular part of the chapter well. Well, hope you enjoyed, please review, I really want to know if this story is any good at all to be worth finishing. Well, I've got to start getting myself ready for bed now and I still have to take a shower, so goodnight!
