A/N- I'm back with a new chapter and I hope you all like it!

Summery- It have been a week since Lucy was offered a job at the firm. Lucy is still trying to decide if she is going to take the job.

Chapter 5- The Decision

(A/N- Lucy is in Buffalo.)

"Mary, I don't know what to do." Lucy told her older sister. Lucy and her sister Mary are sitting in the coffee shop at the airport.

"I don't know what to tell you Luce," Mary told her little sister.

"If I take the job I won't be able to move back to Glenoak, but if I don't take the job I will regret it and I won't be happy."

"Why do you need to move back home?" Mary asked her sister, and she played with her coffee.

"Because mom and dad need my help."

"Luce, they are fine without you. You worry way too much. You should take the job, considering it's the deal of a lifetime. I mean out of all the interns at the firm, you were chosen." Mary told her sister.

"I know but..."

"No buts, Luce, you are going to take the job and that's, that." Mary told Lucy. "I have got to go my plane is getting ready to leave."

"Bye Mary," Lucy told her sister getting up and hugging Mary.

"Bye," with that Mary left. Lucy left the airport and got in her car and drove back to Manhattan.

The next morning Lucy woke up earlier than normal, so she decided to go ahead and get ready. Today was the day Lucy would Lucy would tell everyone if she was going to take the job. So Lucy got up, took a shower, did her make-up, and got her clothes on. She put on black pants, a pink tank top, a black blazer, and a pair of black strappy sandels. She grabbed a cup of coffee and left. Lucy pulled her car into her spot at the firm, shocked to see that Kevin's SUV was already there. Lucy walked into the office and saw Kevin sitting at her desk. "Can I help you Mr. Kinkirk?" Lucy questioned him.

"May I speak with you for a minute?"

"Sure," Lucy told him.

"In my office." Lucy then followed Kevin into his office. "I wanted to talk to you about the job offer."

"Ok," Lucy told him.

"I don't want our relationship to effect you decision."

"First, we don't have a relationship. Second, I have already made my decision." Lucy told him.

"And?"

"And you are going to have to wait to find out like everyone else," she told him.

"Ok, I can wait."

"Excuse me, but I need to get back to work." with that Lucy went back into the office and got to work. Around 11:30 there was to be a staff meeting. That was when she was going to tell everyone her decision. The morning went by very slowly. At 11:30 everybody gathered in the conference room. Towards the end of the meeting Ben asked the question everyone had been dying to know the answer to. "Have you decided if you are going to accept the job, Lucy?"

Lucy took a deep breath before she answered, then said, "I would be delighted to accept the job."

"Wonderful," said Kevin.

The rest of the afternoon everyone was congratulating her on the job. Lucy was getting ready to leave when Kevin came out of his office and asked her if she would join him for dinner at his house. "Kevin, I don't know." Lucy told him.

"Please, and I'll cook."

"You cook?"

"I'll tell you that I'm a very good cook."

"Kevin, we just broke up last week. I don't think it's a good idea if we spend time together." Lucy told him.

"As friends."

"Fine, I'll come."

"Good, we can leave right now."

"Who is going to lock up?" she questioned him.

"Ben can." With that Kevin and Lucy left. Lucy followed Kevin in her car, but on the way there Lucy questioned herself about why she was going to Kevin's house. Lucy parked her car in the driveway and walked over to the garage to follow Kevin inside. He lad her to the kitchen where he grabbed a bottle of white wine. He poured them a glass. Lucy thanked him, and he began to cook. "You don't usually cook do you?" Lucy asked.

"Truthfully, I don't. I actually have a chef."

"Do you want some help?"

"Can you cook?" he asked.

"Yes."

Lucy and Kevin began to cook. They made the sauce, the bread, and Lucy was cooking the noodles, when Kevin came up behind her and put his arms around her waist. Lucy didn't mind Kevin doing that, and much to Kevin's shock she didn't pull away. When they finished dinner, they decided to go for a walk around his pool. Kevin took Lucy's hand and led her through his back yard. After their walk they went back inside and sat on the couch to watch a movie. Lucy fell asleep on the couch, so Kevin put a cover over her and went and put his pajamas on and went back and sat on the couch. He fell asleep too.

A/N: that's the end of this chapter I hoped you all liked it!
