Chapter 22
Lizzie slipped a nano into the music player. "I loaded each of these for the nurseries. Want to hear the songs?" Will collapse into a chair.
"Yes please." He sounded exhausted.
"Was she dif-"
"Yes. And she said that she would try to rearrange her schedule. I don't know to be thrilled or terrified." He rubbed his face.
There you see her. Sittin' dere across the way.
"Disney?" He laughed.
She nodded. "It seemed suitable."
He smiled and stood again. "Shall we?" He held his arms up.
"Will!" She giggled.
"What?" He walked towards her.
"I can't dance! Not like this." She laughed and motioned to her belly.
He shook his head and pulled her into his arms. "Doesn't matter."
She dropped her voice to a whisper."And we have company."
"To this song you can dance. And forget about Richard." He pulled her as close as he could.
The slowly spun around the room with their foreheads resting on each other. Suddenly Will pulled away and put a devious smile on his face.
"Will?"
"SHA LA LA LA LA LA DONT BE SCARED!"
"STOP! STOP! STOP! You sound like a dying cat." She started laughing and Will joined in.
"The song has a point though." He leaned down and she smiled even wider. He kissed her as the song was ending. It grew and grew in intensity and she let off a soft moan. A throat cleared behind them. The pulled away slowly.
"Was I interrupting a moment?" Richard smug, even if neither of them were looking at him, they could tell.
"Yes." Will was practically growling.
"Lizzie promised me she would answer my questions. I'm collecting." Will and Lizzie were still staring at each other.
They both sighed. "What do you want to know?" Lizzie walked over to Richard and pulled him to the living room. William walked over and turned off the music. Lizzie and Will took the sofa and Richard moved a chair to face them.
"Are you the Lizzie?" He smiled cheekily.
"The?" She looked at Will, who had turned bright red.
"The Lizzie that Will couldn't shut up about from the moment he turned 12. And you don't have to answer. Will's face says it all."
Will leaned forward in his seat."You'll pay for that you little-"
"MY TURN!" Lizzie giggled and pushed him back. She was enjoying this too much for her own good. "Richard... How is it that you are the only relative that Will has never mentioned to me?"
"Why is everyone suddenly ganging-up on me?" William sounded desperate.
"He has never mentioned me?" He looked shocked
"Not once." She shook her head.
He thought for a moment. "Thats cause I have all the really embarrassing moments right here." He tapped his temple.
"Really?" She scooted forward in her seat.
"You and I are having lunch tomorrow while Darce here is at work. All secrets revealed."
"Only if you're comfortable joining a bunch of women. Its girls lunch day tomorrow."
"Having lunch surrounded by pretty women? Count me in!" He held out his hand.
"Then you have a deal." She shook it.
"NO! NO DEAL! I DO NOT AGREE!" Will put his hand over his face and turned even brighter red. Lizzie and Richard shared a glance and started laughing. Will pulled his hand away from his face and looked seriously at Lizzie. "And how come he can go to the lunch and I can't?"
"I told you earlier." She leaned sideways and kissed his cheek. "If you went, what would I talk about?"
"Okay. Boys, girls, or both."
"No comment." They both said.
"Why?"
"Nope. My turn. When did you join the army?"
"The second I turned 18, I enlisted. Went off to training two days after I graduated. Okay, my turn. No comment?"
"We don't know." She smiled.
The doorbell rang. "I'll get it." Lizzie stood slowly with a little help from Will's shoulder and made it to the door. She threw it open and froze.
Will and Richard were having a stare off when Will heard Lizzie gasp. He jumped up and went to the door.
"Lizzie, who is it?" He said as he rounded the corner.
"Will," Lizzie opened the door to reveal a woman he had hoped he wouldn't see anytime soon. "You remember my mother."
I don't own 'Kiss The Girl' from The Little Mermaid. Disney does.
