Finding Luc Hemingway

Chapter 6

'Where are we going Luc?' Eddi said as she sat across from him in the passenger seat

'Just somewhere' Luc winked taking her hand with the hand he wasn't using to drive.

Eddi Just smiled Bringing Luc's hand to her lips and pressing a soft kiss to the back of his palm. Luc smiled his eyes full of love.

'Melody isn't a bad kid you know' Luc said looking at the road.

'I know, she just likes to make things better, she doesn't really think about the consequences to herself as long as its helping someone its always been that way' Eddi said Memories flooding her mind.

'What do you mean?' Luc asked a smile lacing his lips 'Well when Melody was seven and Liam was twelve he got into a fight with some boys in the village, they started shouted names at Liam when we went to pick him up after school one day, so Melody being Melody walks up to the kid goes 'I'm not afraid of you, you leave my brother alone! Obviously the boys just laughed but that was until she turned round and punched one right in the face' Eddi laughed.

'What… really? The sweet little innocent girl I met? No way!' he said his eyebrows rose.

'Liam was angry for a couple of days but the boys never said anything again' Eddi smirked.

'she's got a fiery attitude just like her sister then' Luc joked as the campervan pulled into a winding road.

Luc and Eddi found themselves staring out at a massive house 'please don't tell me you own this house' Eddi joked half heartedly

'I can't… I do' Luc frowned

'I feel like this is going a little too fast' Eddi said staring at her shoes

'I don't want to live here with you' Luc laughed

'Well thanks, for that' Eddi laughed along with Luc

'No, I want to live someplace special with you, someplace ours this is the house where I grew up' Luc said enter winding their hands

'You want to go in?' Eddi asked resting her head against his arm, Luc just nodded leading Eddi up the stairs and past the swing seat to the big glass shining door as he pulled the key from his pocket and placed it through the lock with a click the door opened. Walking in Eddi turned to Luc 'your erm…rich?' Eddi observed the massive marble staircase. 'I guess, but remember you liked me when I was poor' Luc scowled jokingly.

Luc showed Eddi all the rooms of the house leaving one room to the end of the longest corridor on the right 'Lucas's den… Lucas' Eddi observed laughing at the label on the wooden door 'don't laugh Edith' Luc said straight faced 'How…' Eddi said an angry scowl painted her face '…Liam, I will get him' Eddi said answering her own question, Luc just laughed pressing a kiss to her cheek before opening the door.

The room was big, lined with books. It was dark like a cloudy nights sky, the bed wasn't made, typical Luc. Photographs lined the walls, photos of a younger Luc with what looked to be his parents hugging him. Prom photos of him stood with a geeky looking girl with braces and glasses. Luc wrapped his arms around Eddi from behind and nuzzling her neck 'I had this best friend, carol in secondary school, as you can see I was obviously the hottest boy in school…' Luc joked and eddi laughed

'Luc your hair is like Justin Bieber's' Eddi teased

'shh, don't interrupt my story, anyway the most popular girl in school walks up to me and she just demands I be her date so I'm like okay cool and then carol says she's not going to go so I ditched the blonde and went with carol instead no matter what my friends looked at me like, I had a great time' Luc smiles and Eddi turns in his arms pressing a kiss to his chin and then another to his mouth 'you are the most adorable, caring, loving and sweetest man I have ever met Luc Hemingway' Eddi said honestly.

'Luc why did you bring me here?' Eddi asked.

Luc breathed taking Eddi's hand and sitting them down on the bed as the dust jumped back at them 'sorry' he said wiping down Eddi's clothes 'I…I'm not a very trusting person and I'm not the best person you will have in your life and I didn't want you to think that this was because I'm scared or because I don't love you, because Eddi I do, I love you more than anything I just, I figured in order for me to fix myself, I needed to show you why I was broken, I had to bring you to the place that broke me' Luc said as tears rolled down his cheeks, Eddi wiped them away with her sleeve.

'My childhood was great, then when I turned fourteen my mum started getting ill, and eventually sadly past away my dad couldn't take looking at me anymore so he ran away then when I turned eighteen I got my degree and got out of here and out of this town' Luc said as another tear dropped down his cheek and onto his plaid shirt

'Why did you keep the keys? Why not sell up, buy a place of your own' Eddi asked

'I want to do that now, I think now's a good time, I figured with the money we could buy a place together, we don't have to rush into anything, its just If we ever had kids…' Luc said awkwardly '… I would like them to have a nice place to grow up' Luc said scratching his neck waiting Eddi's confirmation.

Eddi stood straight faced and walked towards Luc before cracking a smile and wrapping her hands around his neck 'I would like that' she smiled

'Yeah?' Luc asked

'Yeah' Eddi confirmed sealing their agreement with a kiss.

Hanson found a knock at his office door 'come in' he called and Melody opened the door and shut it behind her.

'ah Miss McKee, I do believe I have said all I have to say to you on any subject' Hanson said angrily as he stared down his computer screen

'I know, come on Henrick you can't stay mad at me forever' Melody begged

'And what makes you think that' Henrick said irately

'Because before I came along you were just the monster under the bed, the ogre in the closet, and as much as you hate to admit it I bought out the younger side of you, the happier side' Melody said sitting opposite him at his desk.

'I am tired of putting faith in individuals only for them to let me down' Henrick said refusing to look Melody in the eye

'Sahira's not coming back Henrick, I know she was your friend and I know she hurt you but she had to go' Melody said bravely

'And what do you know about my personal life child' Henrick said angrily

'Nothing, well other than what one of the nurses told me but I do know you're my friend, and I let you down, and friends don't do that to other friends' Melody said standing up 'I'm sorry Henrick, I know you have had a tough past and I know that before I came along no one had stepped foot in this office willing to talk to you for a while' Melody said matter of factly

'What do you want Melody?' Henrick said banging his hands on the table angrily

'I want you to let me have my job back!' Melody shouted

'Never…' Henrick shouted back.

Melody once again stomped towards the door 'Miss McKee…' Henrick started

'… I shall see you Monday' he said straight faced

Melody grinned running over to Henrick and hugging him 'that's awkward…please don't do that' Henrick said.

'Sorry…' Melody mumbled '…I wont let you down' Melody smiled before walking out the door. 'I hope not' Henrick said under his breath.
