Hello, sorry I disappeared for so long, I'm doing to be posting chapters at least once a week or maybe two weeks idk yet, nor do I have a day yet, want to suggest one? Lol, enjoy. And this chapter is a little longer because I felt bad I haven't posted in a while.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the fallen series!
"So, why are you babysitting again?" Nora asked, curiously, painting her nails with a deep purple nail polish. It almost looked black from where Luce was standing, changing into a tee shirt with nothing on it. It was deep green and made her hazel eyes look slightly green as well.
"Because I told them I would," Luce replied smugly, taking off the shirt she wore and pulled on her new tee shirt. She looked at herself in the mirror as she grabbed a brush and brushed her hair into two pony tails that hung over both her shoulders. "And I could use the money. That dress wasn't cheap you know,"
"I'll let that slide," Nora said with a grin. "Because when Daniel sees you wearing it and swallows his tongue I you'll be so grateful that I convinced you to buy that dress that you'll fall down onto your knees thanking me."
"I'll be sure to remember that," Lucinda replied, rolling her eyes as she pulled on her black ballet flats. She was ready. Pulling her burgundy purse onto her shoulder she smiled at her friend. "If Daniel comes here, you know what to tell him right?"
"That you were being held against your will by a pair of kids," Nora replied, grinning like the Cheshire cat. "I know, Luce. Go out, get your makeup don, maybe even play a round of candy land,"
Luce stuck out her tongue at Nora and walked out the door.
Coming face to face with a pair of very familiar purple eyes.
"Hey," Luce breathed, taking a step back. Daniel smiled down at her, his perfect golden curls flopping over his forehead perfectly.
"We seem to keep running into each other," Daniel said happily.
"So we do," Luce replied, leaning against the wall behind her. "What's up?"
"I wanted to know if you would accompany me for dinner tonight," Daniel told her with a smile and Luce felt a shiver go down her spine, a good shiver.
"I'd love to," Luce sighed but then her mind caught up with her. "But…I can't,"
Luce tried not to wince as the light in Daniel's eyes seemed to dimmer. "Oh,"
"Yeah," Luce said awkwardly. "I'm-"
Suddenly, Nora's auburn head peaked out from the doorway and she smiled at the awkward encounter in front of her. "Oh, look there you are,"
"What is it, Nora?" Luce asked, suddenly turning, somewhat glad she could look away from Daniel's crestfallen face.
"I'm just here to tell Daniel something," Nora said innocently, turning to Daniel. "Luce can't go out with you to night because she has a previous engagement to go watch two little girls that we met on the street while their parents are away,"
Luce smiled as she saw Daniel's eyes widen in confusion and turn to her. "The girl doesn't lie,"
Daniel's face broke into a grin. "At least I know you aren't standing me up for another date,"
"I don't know," Luce taunted. "Ken is pretty cute,"
"But you're probably more anatomically correct," Nora chirped in. "Though we can't be sure. That is, unless we got a good look…"
"Nora!" Luce squealed, her face turning red whole Daniel started chuckling.
"She's right," Daniel agreed between a few laughs. "We couldn't really know unless one of you got a good look."
Nora raised an eyebrow. "Are you offering?"
"I've got to go," Luce announced, throwing her hands up in the air. "You can talk all about being anatomically correct without me, but I'm going to be late,"
"Luce, wait," Daniel called as she passed him and grabbed her hand and Luce felt the world stop around her as she turned to face him.
Ever so slowly, he pulled her hand up towards his mouth and planted a kiss on the back of her hand and smiled at her.
Luce face felt hot as she blushed and murmured a quick goodbye and started down the stairs towards the bus stop. Was Nora going to have a field day about this or what?
. . .
"There you are," Shelby said as she let the young girl who looked so familiar into their hotel room. It was big, with a large living room and three other doors that led to two bed rooms and a grand bathroom. "We were beginning to think you'd gotten lost,"
Luce grinned, slightly embarrassed. "No the bus was late, sorry. I hope I didn't make you guys late too,"
"Oh, no," Mrs. Fisher told her, smiling. "I was just waiting for Miles to get ready. He takes forever."
Luce smiled while the woman she just met led her into the living room and sat down onto the deep red wine colored couch.
"Oh, look whose here," Someone said suddenly and Miles's face appeared. He was wearing the faded dodger's cap again but this time Luce could finally see his blue eyes.
"It's good to see you again," Luce said politely giving him a small smile.
"You too," the older man told her and turned back towards the door he'd come through. "Girls, Luce is here."
Two little girls came out of the room and Luce saw how much they resembled their parents. Ellie had the same brown hair that her father had but she had hazel eyes, much like Luce did, and Lucy had Shelby's dirty blonde locks with her father's blazing blue eyes.
"Hi, Luce." Ellie said warmly, clasping her hands behind her back. She was wearing a plaid skirt with a blue blazer and her hair tied back in a braid.
"Hi Ellie," Luce replied with a warm smile. "Hi, Lucy,"
"Hi," Lucy's answer was shy as she covered her mouth with both her hands.
"Okay, so we'll be back in a few hours," Shelby told Lucinda, resting a hand on her wide belly. "If we're going to be late we'll call you alright?"
Lucinda nodded as the Fisher parents waved goodbye to their little girls. As the door shut behind them Luce turned to the two girls that stood in from of her.
"So," Luce said awkwardly, pulling a pony tail over her shoulder. "What do you girls want to do?"
"We can play dolls," Ellie suggested, grabbing Luce by the hand and pulling her to the couch.
"That sounds fun," Luce agreed.
"Perfect," Ellie grinned, turning on her heel and walking into the bedroom. When she came out she had two handfuls of dolls.
"Oh, we're going to play that game?" Lucy gasped, her shy face breaking into a smile.
"Yes," Ellie said surely, sitting down on the gerund in front of Luce and handing her a dark haired doll. "Here, you can be this one."
As Luce took the dark haired doll, Ellie arranged the rest of them, there were three boys, one with dark black hair, and one with golden hair and even a boy with blonde dreadlocks some of which were colored black with sharpie. Next to them she put a girl with bleach blonde hair that went to her shoulders, a wholesome looking doll with a sweet smile and long blond curls, a tall girl with bright pink hair and a shorter girl with short black hair tied into a pair of pig tails.
Okay, who else is creeped out by the fact that these girls have dolls of everyone? And yay for Luce and Daniel adorableness. Hopefully they will be doing some series kissing soon! Review? Please?
