Hey sorry for the long review I've been busy with school work. Hope you like this chapter Please R&R :)
When they got back to Kevin's the kids put their pj's on and brushed their teeth. Normally they would make excuses and try to stall so they wouldn't have to go to bed, but they were tired out and made no objections to going to bed. Kevin had insisted Lucy, Dylan and Maddy share his bed which was put in the only bedroom. His couch had been delivered and he was planning to sleep on that. Everyone said good night to Kevin who was watching a movie on his tv, which he had also set up that night. Lucy tucked the kids in and got in the bed herself. She lay there thinking about how great the day had been. It still seemed surreal that she was here. She tried picturing what she would be doing if she was in Detroit at the moment. She did a lot of thinking, but still couldn't fall asleep. The kid's had passed out a while ago, but Lucy didn't seem to be tired anymore. She could hear faintly, the sound of the tv and decided she would go out and watch some with Kevin for a while. Maybe it would make her sleepy.
She walked out into the living room, which was colder than the bedroom. She had a t-shirt and pajama pants on. Goose bumps formed on her arms as she entered the living room. Kevin looked up at her as she waked over the couch.
" Hey what are you doing up? I thought you were asleep? I hope the tv isn't keeping you up." Kevin babbled.
" No don't worry I was awake already. I can't seem to fall asleep, I thought I'd come watch tv with you." Lucy said sitting down beside Kevin on the couch.
All the lights were off. The only brightness was coming from the tv. Lucy rubbed her arms, trying to warm herself up.
" Here, you look cold." Kevin said as he placed a blanket around Lucy's shoulders.
" Oh, thanks. So what are you watching?" Lucy asked.
" Some horror movie, I've never heard of it before. It's an old fashioned one, I love those though." Kevin said, as he kept his eyes on the tv. He was beginning to feel confused. If he looked at her would it seem like he was staring? He couldn't remember now what it felt to not like her.
" You ok? You've been acting a bit weird lately." Lucy questioned him.
Kevin's eyes got big and his mind raced for an answer. His mouth began to get dry and he started to worry if he would be able to talk.
" No I'm fine. Just tired and everything from the move. Gotta get on California time." Kevin said nervously. He could hear himself talking, but didn't feel like he actually was.
"Oh, yeah I think I am a bit too. Just trying to let everything set in. I want to thank you so much though, without you I would probably be sitting at the trailer right now, washing a stack of dishes, in a smoke filled trailer with a million beer bottles everywhere." Lucy said sincerely.
" No problem, I'd do anything to help you." Kevin said looking down.
" That's why you're the best." Lucy said smiling at him.
Kevin couldn't help but to smile.
" Now that I'm out of there, I'm in charge. Sometimes it's overwhelming. Everything is coming at once. I need to get a job, a place to live that I can afford, and all of those other little details. I would really love to save up and buy a small used car. Just something to get me to work, which I hope I can find a job really soon." Lucy said staring off, thinking about the new problems to tackle.
" You can stay here as long as you need, you know that." Kevin said.
" I know, but this is your apartment, not a lot of room we don't want to impose on you." Lucy said.
" As long as you need." Kevin repeated, referring to them staying with him.
" By the way, how did it go tonight? How did the kids do with meeting all that new family?"
" It went really well, they played with Sam and David, my little twin brothers, most of the night. Maddy was a bit shy at first. My parent's were so happy. They don't have any other grandkids. Oh, also, coincidence maybe but you're brother is married to my sister Mary." Lucy said.
" Mary's your sister?" Kevin said surprised.
" Yeah." Lucy answered.
They talked a bit more and Kevin reassured Lucy she would get through everything, and that he was there for her, whenever she needed him. He debated in his head whether or not hugging Lucy would be inappropriate, but decided to, seeing as they were friends.
As they were breaking apart, they stopped, inches away from each other's faces. They stared at each other for a few seconds. Before he noticed what he was doing, Kevin had gone in for a kiss. Lucy had also went in for the kiss, feeling something come over her. Their lips locked and time seemed to stop as their lips meshed together. About a minute into the kiss, Lucy broke off.
Kevin didn't know what to say, but thankfully she spoke first.
" I'm sorry. It's just too soon. Everything is moving so fast, I'm not ready." Lucy said nervously.
"Oh. Yeah. Of course, I understand." Kevin stammered, at a loss for words.
Both of them couldn't think of anything else to say, so they stared at the tv, even though they both weren't paying attention to the movie.
" Well uhm I think I'm going to head back to bed." Lucy said, getting up. The tension in the room was thick and she just needed to get out and think about what happened.
