CHAPTER 7

'How did it turn out like this?' Rogue thought. Right now, he was holding onto Lucy for dear life. And he was crying. CRYING for goodness sake. 'If I move, it'll be a bit awkward.' he thought. But instead of not moving like he said he shouldn't, he did. He wiped his tears and moved away from Lucy.

"Why are you crying? You don't need to apologize. Instead I will, for yelling at you like that." Rogue said as he stood up.

"No, don't apologize. And I won't apologize either. Instead I will thank you. From now on, I will thank you." Lucy said and smiled for the first time in what felt like forever. Rogue looked at Lucy, her smile just brighten up the mood.

"There is nothing to be thankful about. I should thank you instead." he said the last part quietly.

"You saved my life. I owe you my life." Lucy said. He didn't say anything afterwards. Just the fact that he was still hugging her was on hi mind.

He soon pulled away. Moving a bit further away from her. There was that long moment of silence in the air. Not knowing what to say or do, they just sat there. Rogue trying to avoid looking at her.

"What's keeping you locked in here?" Rogue finally said, not wanting to keep the silence going.

Lucy looked at Rogue. She then looked at the paper scattered across her floor. Slowly rising up, her legs so white and pale, her legs moved slowly to the paper scattered on the floor. Kneeling down, she sat on the floor. Her legs to her right. She picks up a piece of paper.

"The white moon was nice tonight Mama. I wish you were here." she said quietly, but loud enough for Rogue to here.

Rogue looked over, a bit confused at first, but understood what she was saying. She was reading what was written on the paper. His mouth opened to say something, but closed his mouth.

"I wrote it, to Mama. I always write to her. Every night. But, for the past few nights, I haven't been. I couldn't." Lucy said.

She gazed out at the window. It was still bright outside. All of a sudden a gust of wind came in. The curtains floating again. The paper on the ground flying everywhere again. Her hair blowing the way the wind is blowing. A piece of her hair in front of her face. She moved it behind her ear, her eyes closed.

Rogue was mesmerized by her beauty yet again. He was sitting in the room with the most beautiful girl out there, yet she holds probably a horrible past. She didn't say a thing afterwards.

"I-" she stopped.

"Don't say something that you don't want to say. It's okay if you're not ready." Rogue said. He slowly got up. He walked to where she was sitting on the floor. His back bend lower to keep an eye to eye level with her, his left hand reached out in front of her.

"I want to take you somewhere." he said. Lucy hesitated on taking his hand. Not knowing where he wanted to take her, she slowly took his hand. Her fingertips touched his hand, but backed away. But after thinking about it again, she took his hand fully.

Once Lucy's hand was in Rogue's, he lifted her up from the floor. He lead her out of her room, still hand in hand. The maids that they had passed by saw the two holding hands and blushed.

Lucy didn't want to look up to meet anyone's eyes. Instead the only time she looked up was when she had wanted the urge to look at Rogue's back.

There was already a car pulled up at the front door and the butler had given Rogue the keys. He unlocked the car doors and opened the passenger door for her. She got in and he closed the door gently after her.

He walked over to the driver's seat and slammed his door shut. Starting the car and then driving away, the maids and butler looked after the car had driven away.

"I wonder what happened between the two?" a maid said.

"Rogue-sama was holding Lucy-sama's hand." another said.

"Didn't they look cute?!" another said, and thus this got the girls to fangirl over the two young heirs/heiress.

Back in the car, no one spoke. Again with the long awkward silence.

"Where are we going?" Lucy finally had the courage and asked.

"To my villa. Where no one knows of. Only Sting and my butler, who looks after that place for me, knows where it is." he said.

It took another 2 hours to get to his villa. Throughout the whole car ride, Lucy had finally got to rest peacefully, but a bit uncomfortably. At one point while driving to his villa, Rogue had stopped to put gas in his car, he noticed that the only thing Lucy was wearing was her white sun dress. He went to the trunk of his car and found a blanket and a sweater, Rogue put the sweater gently on for her and put the blanket over her lap. Closing the her door quietly and gently, leaving the gas station at one point, going back onto the road to his villa.

By the time they had arrived at the villa, it was close to 6 o'clock in the evening. Evening had just arrived and luckily, it was still summer and the sun was still up. Once he drove up to the front of the door, he unbuckled his seatbelt and looked over at Lucy. She was still silently asleep, but mumbled every now and then. She silently stirred awake, Rogue a bit afraid (for some odd reason he was afraid) of seeing her wake up suddenly, especially when she looked tired. But fortunately, she didn't wake up at all. She only stirred a bit and turned her head towards the window, where there was shade and no sun pointing at her.

Rogue slowly and quietly got out of the car and walking to the other side of the car, he slowly opened the door and un-belting her slowly and moving the blanket on her lap. He was at first awkward with what he was about to do, but it was to help her sleep in a more comfortable way and have much more sleep than she had the last couple of days.

Rogue's right arm slowly slid under Lucy's knees, his arm touching her nicely, smooth skin. At first the touch made him blush, but putting that aside, he moved his left arm around her shoulder. When he felt that he had a good grip of her, he lifted her and gently took her out of the car, without hitting her head or her legs. When he had fully taken her out of the car, Lucy moved a bit, once again, Rogue felt as if she would wake up, feeling like it'll be his fault that he woke her up when she really needed all the sleep she could get.

Standing completely still after Lucy had shifted a bit, he felt her arms swing around his neck. Her head now rested on his chest. She snuggled closer to the body heat that she felt, shifting a bit to be more comfortable. Rogue silently just waited until she went back to going still and breathing in and out slowly. When he felt like he could start moving again, he exhaled.

"What the heck am I breathing out so hard for? I haven't felt this nervous in a long time." Rogue thought in his mind, silently punching himself.

Once Rogue's butler (who was informed ahead of time before Rogue had arrived) had opened the door for the young master to go in, he quickly followed behind Rogue and opened another door for the girl who was sleeping in his arms. He left the room as soon as Rogue had entered to go prepare for dinner. When Rogue heard the door silently close behind him, he stepped closer to the bed and placed Lucy down gently. He covered her with the blanket and then sat next to her. He noticed a crack of light coming through the window, getting up, he went to the window and pulled the curtains, making the room a bit more darker.

Rogue decided to leave her after staying with her for 10 minutes. But before leaving, he had looked at her one more time. Gently closing the door behind him, his lips curled up, into a gentle smile. A real smile. A smile that he felt like it has been forever since he has shown it. Except no one saw, and he was glad for that. For he felt like would look like a fool.
