Another chapter about Lee and Lucy waking up together the next morning…

When Lee woke up the first thing he realised was that Lucy was lying in his arms next to him with her hand resting on his chest. He couldn't help but smile madly at what had happened between them and he wanted nothing more than to wake her up and kiss her again, but he knew he should leave her be. So he moved onto his side and propped his head up with his arm so he could watch her sleep. He admired her beauty and he couldn't believe that someone as attractive as her would ever want to be with him. She looked peaceful and happy and she slept in his arms and Lee wanted to stay like this forever.

After a little while Lucy started to stir in his arms, she breathed out heavily and tried to turn away from Lee, who held her closer and stroked the side of her face and her hair gently until she opened her eyes. Much to Lee's relief she smiled when she saw him.

"Morning," Lee whispered at he smiled down at her.

"Good morning," Lucy replied quietly as she manoeuvred herself in his arms so she was facing him, a puzzled look came over her face.

"What's wrong?" Lee asked, concerned.

"Last night…was that…real?"

"It sure was," Lee smiled as he began to rub her back.

"No, I mean…was it serious, did you mean it?" Lucy questioned, sounding slightly frustrated.

"Of course it was serious, I mean everything I said," Lee told her as he looked directly into her eyes. "Why would you think otherwise?"

Lucy smiled at his response, "well, it's just, we never really talked about it last night, did we?" She said slightly flirtatiously.

"No we didn't," replied Lee as he began playing with her hair. Lucy watched Lee's face as he smiled, she didn't think she'd ever seen him look happier and that made her feel amazing. He then moved his hand to hold hers as he began to talk, "Lucy I really care about you, I have done for quite a while now. So much so that," he paused, he was really nervous about admitting his true feelings for her after keeping them bottled up for so long, "I think I love you. I know I should have told you before now but I've always been scared that if you knew how I felt you wouldn't even want me to live in your flat with you anymore."

"You love me?…How?" Lucy said in a very small voice, she couldn't believe that a man, Lee, had actually told her he loved her.

"How?" Lee began, "well, because your amazing and absolutely beautiful, and even though I sometimes act like I'm always sick of your nagging, it's because I felt frustrated that I would never be good enough for you."

Lucy could have cried at Lee's words, "you think I'm beautiful? She asked him, as though it was completely impossible.

"You are," he said truthfully, and he ran his finger over her cheek. "But we'll only make a go of this if it's what you want, I don't want to force you into anything, I want you to be honest about your feelings too."

"What are you asking Lee?" Lucy questioned him.

Lee hesitated, he'd never said this to anyone before, "well…I guess I'm asking you…if…you'll be my girlfriend…?" He trailed off slowly, worried about what her answer might be. "But only if you feel the same way," he quickly added.

Lucy stared at him while she tried to find her voice. Eventually she said, "I do feel the same Lee. I think I've liked you for a long time too, I was really jealous when you went out with Rachel, and maybe I should have said something, but I thought you'd think I was being silly and not believe me.."

Lee grinned at her words, and before she could say anymore he leaned in to kiss her. Lucy ran her hands through Lee's hair and Lee moved his hands up and down her sides, feeling the shape of her body. After a bit Lee stopped and rested his forehead against Lucy's so he could look into her eyes. "So is that a yes then?" He asked.

"Yes, I'll be you girlfriend," she giggled, before they kissed again.

After a while when things were starting to get a bit heated as Lee began to move his kisses down towards Lucy's chest, Lucy gently pushed him away and said "Lee we have to stop."

Lee could feel that Lucy's breaths were short and slightly shaky. "Lucy whats wrong?" He asked concerned as he moved off her to give her more space. Lucy rolled over to snuggle into Lee's chest, he ran his fingers through her hair.

"Nothing," Lucy replied quietly as she began to play with the material of Lee's t-shirt, feeling a bit embarrassed. "I just don't think we should get too carrie away," she continued, "especially as my parents and Daisy are here too, and...I think it will be more special if we wait."

Lee smiled And kissed the top of her head, "ok then," he whispered to her and squeezed her tighter, "but I don't know if I can wait that long," he flirted.

Lucy moved her head so she was looking straight at him, "well you're going to have to," she flirted back and gave him a quick kiss before resting her head on his chest again.

They stayed like this for a moment until Lucy spoke again. "I'll have to go back to my room before the others wake up, otherwise Daisy will wonder where I am," she said with a hint of sadness in her voice.

"I don't want you to leave," Lee said.

"Neither do I, but I'll have to make a move soon, it's nearly eight 'o' clock," Lucy replied as she leaned over Lee to look at the clock on the bedside table.

"Fine," Lee sighed, "but I want to walk you back to your room." Lucy smiled as she climbed out of bed and made her way to the door, Lee followed her. When he caught up with Lucy he slipped his hand down her arm so he could link his fingers with hers. Lucy looked up at Lee and smiled, before resting her head on his shoulder. She felt so happy and excited that she didn't know how she could last any longer without telling everyone that she was now going out with Lee, but she knew it would be best not to say anything until after the holiday and she knew that Lee probably felt the same.

When they reached Lucy and Daisy's bedroom door, they both turned to face each other and Lee held Lucy's hands in his. "Here we are," Lee whispered so no one else would hear him. Lucy smiled at him and reached up to kiss him one last time before they would have to pretend that none if this had happened until they could get another stolen moment together. When their kiss ended Lee gave Lucy a hug and whispered, "merry Christmas," into her ear.

"I'd forgot it was Christmas Day," Lucy laughed.

"Shhh," Lee said, "you don't want to wake anyone.

They stood there in each others arms for a while and Lee lifted Lucy up slightly.

"I love you Lee," Lucy whispered into his ear.

"I love you too," Lee grinned, he never thought he'd heart hose words from Lucy. He put he'd down and let her go back to her own bed, he watched until she'd closed the door before he returned to his own room. This is going to be the happiest Christmas ever, he thought.
