Hi guys thanks for the reviews they really help writing. Sorry I'm not updating as often as before and sorry this chapter is a bit short. Please R&R :)
Moving day came quickly. Kevin helped Lucy and the kids bring over the small amount of things that they had brought with them. The inside of the trailer needed a good scrub down. Maddy and Dylan pulled Kevin around the trailer, showing him each room. As he saw the dirt and cracks in everything, he so badly wanted to bring Lucy, Maddy and Dylan home with him. He wanted to give them money, but knew she would not accept it. She didn't like to give up and always kept plugging ahead, one thing Kevin loved about her.
Using sponges and buckets of soap and water, they scrubbed down the trailer. After cleaning was done, they began to move things inside. Lucy couldn't afford to get a bed for Maddy and Dylan, or herself, so she bought two mattresses. The kids were once again sharing a room, not to mention a bed. On one side of the room Dylan had his toys and the other side were Maddy's. Kevin offered to take the kids to the mall to pick out a few things for their room, his treat. Lucy told him he didn't have to, but he insisted he wanted to. They returned an hour and a half later with a poster for each kid (a Spiderman one for Dylan and a Barbie one for Maddy), a new coloring book for Maddy, and a bag of marbles for Dylan. Dylan had seen some kids playing with marbles in the trailer park and thought if he learned he could play with them. Both kids hands and faces were sticky from popsicle juice, so Lucy cleaned them up.
That night, after everything was set up, Kevin took Lucy and the kids out for a drive in the bush. He brought supplies to make a fire and they roasted marshmallows. The kids were running around, while Lucy and Kevin sat by the fire.
" Luce, can I tell you something?" Kevin began.
"Sure," Lucy answered.
" Well the other night, I know we've both been avoiding the subject, but it happened for a reason. And I know we were both just stressed maybe and caught up in the moment, but the feelings I had that night haven't gone away. I still feel the same. I just wanted to let you know, to see how you were feeling."
" Oh Kev I don't know," Lucy sighed. " I was caught up in the moment and definitely stressed, so I'm not sure if I would have done that if I was thinking straight."
" Are you thinking straight now?"
" A bit more now," Lucy answered.
Not expecting it, Kevin leaned in and kissed Lucy, again. It lasted about 30 seconds, when they both broke it off, this time both smiling.
" Well I guess I have to admit I'm a bit attracted to you," Lucy said, smiling and blushing.
" Same here," Kevin laughed.
Remembering that the kids were somewhere near, they moved a bit apart, so they would not suspect anything. They came back with a bucket of water which they had retrieved from the nearby stream.
" Come on and finish up guys we're going home soon," Lucy told the two groaning kids.
On the ride home the kids fell asleep. Lucy was going to wake up early to look for a job, so Kevin dropped them off and went home.
Lucy's mind was a mess. She was confused about what to do with Kevin. She was really beginning to like him, but didn't think it was the right time to be in a relationship. She got in her pajamas and sunk into her new bed, in her new home. This would be a new beginning, and would hopefully be better than before.
