8D I'M SO TIRED.8D

But I can't sleep... -faccpalm- I think I'll write even though this computer screen is killing my eyeballs in the light. I'm going to go get some caffine before I get to writing though... Hold on.

Okay much better. Stupid sleepovers... I hate being up so late, but at least they're fun? Ehh... Let's get onto writing while the caffine kicks in:)

Jenny: OMG THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND REVIEW! I am posting this chapter early because your review made me want to post this so bad:) It made me so happy and I hope that you'll enjoy this particular chapter:) Thanks so much!

Skye moved away from Lucas and took her hand back. She made her way over to the log next to him and watched the fire, likewise did he. Many thoughts ran through her mind about the mysterious man beside her, and she had many questions she was keen on asking him. But as much as she wanted to ask him, he spoke first.

"How is the colony?" Skye bit her lip but wasn't surprised. Of course he'd want to know how the colony is doing so he can take it back over.

She nodded slowly, "It's doing okay. So much to do, but we'll be alright. I am just glad there wasn't anyone else killed. The colony is like my family."

Lucas just watched her as she spoke. He was quiet for a few more minutes but then spoke back up, "How are you doing?"

"In the colony?" Skye raised an eyebrow, "Fine I guess. Maddy Shannon asked me to be her maid of honor in her wedding."

Lucas cocked his head slightly, "Maddy Shannon? Jim's daughter?"

Skye just nodded but didn't turn to meet his gaze.

"Why'd she ask you?" Lucas pressed.

Skye whipped her head to glare at him, "Why not me?"

Lucas just met her gaze with a powerful one of his own. "You just don't seem like the type of person who would be someone else's maid of honor. Are you two good friends?"

Skye shook her head, "I barely know her. I have spoken to her only a handful of times my entire time here."

Lucas just continued to analyze her, "Then why'd she ask you?"

Skye turned back to the fire as the thought came to her, "I'm Josh's friend. Well... I'm not sure at this point what he and I are."

Lucas pulled a face at the mention of the oldest Shannon, "What do you mean by that?"

Skye shook her head, "It's none of your business, Lucas. You need to rest." She stood to go help him stand and get into his bed but he didn't budge.

"I'm not tired." He stated bluntly, his eyes travelling up her body to meet her eyes.

"God," Skye said, clearly disgusted, "You're more perverted than a teenage boy."

"Well," Lucas began. "I was a teenage boy not too long ago. Old habits die hard." He smirked at her scowl.

"Keep your eyes to yourself." She said harshly.

Lucas's eyes still lingered on her face, "I just can't. You're so beautiful."

Skye turned away to hide her reaction, but Lucas's curiousity got the best of him. He struggled to his feet and slowly came up behind her. It took a lot of effort for him to stand and walk the few steps over to her, and by the time he was behind her, he was panting heavily over her shoulder. He saw the firelight dancing on her skin. Skin he almost couldn't resist touching. He brought at hand up gently and pulled the curls from her face. He tucked them behind her ear so he could see the side of her face, glaring at the fire.

He smirked inwardly and leaned his head over so his face was right next to hers. "Skye..." He said barely audible. His lips brushed her ear slightly and he could feel her shiver under him. He slowly started to bring his lips to where her collar bone met her neck. Her shoulders and neck were bare aside from the red tank top she wore. He couldn't help but to think she looked stunning in red. But before his lips could meet her skin, she suddenly shifted and abruptly moved away and out of his grasp.

"W-what are you d-doing?" She stuttered, clearly fazed by the entire situation.

He sneered evilly, "You didn't like it?"

She glared again, "Not one bit!"

He turned away so he could walk back to his bed to lay down and snickered, "I could beg to differ."

She put her hands on her hips, "Agree to disagree."

"You loved every moment of it." He adjusted himself and started to lay down in his bed. He was struggling to pull the blanket over him, as it was caught on one of the end posts of the make-shift bed. "Damn it," he mumbled to himself.

Skye rolled her eyes and started toward him to help with the blanket, "I did not."

Lucas relaxed as she fixed the blanket and gently started pulling it over him, "Then why didn't you stop me sooner?"

Skye actually didn't know why she didn't pull away from him sooner. Maybe it was his charming elegance or the way he was so gentle. She shook her head and came up with an excuse, "I wanted to see you make a fool of yourself. For someone who really tries as hard as you do to gain respect, you sure as hell do make a fool of yourself a lot."

Lucas sneered, "I can't help myself. You're so irrestistable." He brought his hand up to touch her face, but she moved away from him once again.

"See what I mean?" He asked her as she started tossing a second blanket over him, it was supposed to get chilly tonight in Terra Nova. "I can't stop."

She gave him a dark look as she finished covering him.

He snickered and lay his hand back down. He just watched her elegantly as she threw a few large logs on the fire to ensure it would burn all night and she replaced his empty canteen with her full one. She also revealed some more food for him, but she didn't know if he would end up eating it anyway.

"You need to eat more, Lucas." She stated.

Lucas didn't respond, he just watched her get frustrated with putting the left sleeve of her jacket on her right arm. She yanked off the jacket and put it on correctly the second time. She slung her bag over her shoulder and made her way quietly over to him. "Will you be okay tonight?" She asked.

Lucas rolled his eyes, "I have been for the last two nights haven't I?"

She cast him a look in response but he just smiled at her. His smile quickly changed to one of pleading. "It'd be even better if you were here," He mocked her as he spoke in a somewhat tragic tone. "Won't you stay?"

She shook her head, angry at him for mocking her, "I've stayed long enough already. I need to go back to the colony before I'm missed."

Lucas just sighed inwardly as she started to make her way toward the edge of the clearing. A sudden thought dawned on him, "Skye!" He called to her. She whirled aroung to see him looking over at her.

"What?" She asked him, clearly irritated at this point.

"Can I get a kiss goodnight?" He asked with an evil grin cracking onto his face.

She looked disgusted, "No. Go to sleep."

With that said, she left the clearing and Lucas behind and continued on toward the colony. Thoughts played through her mind, but she was too tired to sort them out so she put them off until later.
