Chapter 2 re-written
...Lucy chose to ignore his statement, for now she sat quietly on the couch in
the Prof's room.
"Is everything alright Lucy?" The Prof was afraid that what he said
upset her for some reason.
There was silence for about an hour, Lucy was staring at the wall and the Prof
was sifting through files and mumbling to himself, until Potty Prof got
restless.
"Lucy speak! Or else you will have nothing to speak with in a min-"
"Yeah, Yeah or else you'll cut out my tongue, what's new?"
Potty Prof stared at her for a few minutes; he never knew anyone else that
wasn't afraid of his 'other' side, even placid was afraid of himself at times.
Returning back to his placid side the Prof thought to himself. 'Do it...'
He gathered his strength and said "Lucy you mean the world to me, you are
kind, brave, pretty and smart. Forgive me, because I didn't mean to upset
you"...
He spoke loud enough so Lucy could hear him clearly. He knew that she had heard
what he said before with all the awkward silences and quick glances she gave to
him in between those. It felt like all time had stopped until Lucy broke yet another
silence with,
"Silly Prof, you are clever and handsome too…"
She spoke in a soft but audible voice, almost choking on her words.
The Prof's heart beat got louder in his ears and suddenly Potty Prof took
control and walked in mid-paced steps, he eased himself down next to her and
placed his hand on top of hers. She stared into his dark amber coloured eyes
which seemed like an eternity. He held her chin in his fingers and leaned in
for the kiss, her first kiss. Lucy closed her eyes and loosened her lips she
didn't know what to do because she had never kissed anyone before.
And then he pulled away, Placid Prof gained control as he blushed and leaned
towards her face.
Lucy reminded herself that she was still wearing her pajamas and this is not the way she wanted her first kiss. She opened her eyes and slipped her hand out from underneath the Prof's warm hand. He opened his eyes and sighed, 'better luck next time' he though and realized that she was awkwardly clutching her knees.
"Here you go" the Prof took off his lab coat and draped it around her shoulders.
"Thanks, but you don't need to. I was going to go home now anyway, there aren't anymore cases to solve isn't there?"
The Prof held his chin "Would you like someone to walk you home?
Lucy blushed at
(I'm just going alternate between Prof and Al because it's annoying to write just Prof)
... Lucy blushed at the thought of Al escorting her home and shyly accepted the offer. Taking his hand as she walked through the door of the mystery room, the white lab coat dragged along the ground and the sleeves had to be rolled up because Lucy was too short. Alfendi blushed again as he grinned at the sight of Lucy and her pretty honey colour hair.
