Throughout the afternoon, they all lounged around in the living room, reading their books and chatting to each other. Lucy's parents went for a walk, which gave Lucy and Lee the chance to be a bit more touchy-feely, as they knew Daisy wouldn't notice if they held hands or Lee had his arm around Lucy's waist.

When Wendy and Geoffrey arrived back at the house, they all decided to prepare a small buffet for their tea. While they were all walking around setting the table and preparing the food, Lee and Lucy found themselves alone for a moment in the living room. Lee grabbed Lucy's hand so she would turn around to face him, and he kissed her on the cheek. "Careful Lee, we don't want anyone to walk in on us," Lucy said.

"We'll hear them when they're coming through, don't worry," Lee dismissed Lucy's concerns. "Anyway, I wanted to know whether you'll be coming in my room again tonight," he whispered in her ear so no one else could hear.

Lucy smiled, "well I wouldn't like to think you were alone."

"What about Daisy?" Lee questioned.

"We'll just have to give her enough to drink so when her head hit's the pillow she'll be out like a light," Lucy said.

"Ooo you are sneaky Lucy," Lee laughed, as he wrapped his arms around her waist and began to kiss her neck.

Lucy pulled away, "stop it Lee! what if someone comes in?"

"Sorry," Lee sighed, "you're just irresistible."

They stared into each others eyes for a few moments, until they heard the others coming through with the rest of the food, and they had to carry on as normal.

Throughout the meal Lucy couldn't stop thinking about Lee, and how she longed for the day to end so they could be together without anyone disturbing them. Lee was thinking the same, he just wanted to hold Lucy, to feel her in his arms. He didn't think he'd be able to keep his hands off her after this afternoon.

Once the evening was coming to and end, Lucy was the first to go to bed. She said goodnight to everyone and went upstairs to put her pyjamas on. Not long after Lee made his excuses to go to bed too. Lucy heard him coming up the stairs while she was getting changed. She decided to go straight to Lee's room once she was ready, Daisy probably wouldn't even realise she wasn't there when she came to bed as she was rather tipsy.

About five minutes later, Lucy walked quietly across to Lee's room on the other side off the house so no one downstairs would hear her. When she got there she slowly opened the door to see Lee sitting up in bed waiting for her. "Hey," he whispered.

"Hi," she smiled back at him, before running lightly over to the bed and getting in quickly. As soon as they were together they began to kiss passionately, after being deprived on each other almost all day. Lee slipped his hand under Lucy's top so he could feel her soft skin and the shape of her body. He rolled her over so she was lying on her back beneath him, and he began to kiss down her neck. Lucy moaned with pleasure and ran her hands over Lee's chest. Eventually they stopped and Lee held Lucy's head in his hands, playing with her hair. He looked into her eyes, "I love you, you know."

Lucy smiled, "I love you too."

"Let me show you how much I love you," Lee whispered, "please." Lucy broke eye contact with him, and suddenly looked uncomfortable. There was a slight pause. "Are you having second thoughts?" Lee asked cautiously.

"No," Lucy replied abruptly, looking and Lee again, "no of course I'm not."

"Ok," Lee began, feeling slightly confused, "then why do you freeze every time I try to be intimate with you?" He moved to lie next to Lucy, so he could give her space, but he still held onto her, and she still held onto him.

Lucy hesitated, "I don't…I just…does it matter?" She turned her head to look away from Lee, she new it was a stupid question, it was obvious to Lee that there was something wrong, she just wanted to avoid this subject.

"Of course it matters," Lee spoke softly, as he stroked the side of her face and began playing with her hair with one hand, and held her hand with the other. He could tell she was finding this difficult, and he just wanted her to be honest with him. "Lucy, I really care about you, and I want to know how you're feeling, and if you're worried or if something's bothering you. Just be honest, please."

Lucy took a moment to think, then she turned her head back to look at Lee. He was so adorable, and she trusted him completely. She had to be honest with him, liked he'd been honest with her. She just found it hard to talk about this subject, she felt embarrassed and pathetic. "I just don't want to disappoint you Lee," she said quietly.

"What do you mean? How on earth could you disappoint me?" He put his arms back around her waist and held her closer, he hated to see her so unconfident about herself.

"Well," she began shakily, "it's just been a while, you know, and…I suppose I feel more self-conscious because of that." She spoke slowly, her heart was racing, she was worried that Lee would say she was being silly, and not want to be with her now she'd said that.

Lee looked at her closely, as he gently massaged her skin to comfort her. "Why would you feel self-conscious Lucy? You're amazing, you have the perfect figure and you're absolutely beautiful."

She looked down, smiling shyly at hearing Lee's compliments. "It's just...Guy was the last person I was with, and that was a while ago now, and he didn't make me feel good about myself...not toward the end, so I just never felt...confident since." She struggled to get her words out as she found it difficult to talk about. She'd tried her best to forget her relationship with Guy, it clearly wasn't meant to have been between them, and she wished she'd realised sooner, then maybe she could have been in another relationship sooner. Maybe her and Lee could have gotten together earlier.

Lee frowned slightly, he'd never liked Guy, fair enough he was jealous of him at the time, which I'd t help. But hearing this now just made him dislike him more. "He didn't deserved you anyway Lucy, but I can't understand how he didn't treat you right. You're so perfect to me and I don't know how anyone could think otherwise. I want to make you happy, and I want to make you feel loved, and I promise that I could never make you feel bad about yourself. I love your body, and I want to touch you all the time." He spoke gently, he wanted her to trust him more than anything.

Lucy nodded and looked down again. "But, can we just take things more slowly from now on, please?" She asked very quietly.

Lee moved his hand back up to touch her hair, "of course, I'm sorry, I guess I have been trying to rush things. But that's only because I really love you, and I really want to be with you so badly. I've waited so long for this. But I want you to know that I will always be gently with you, and I'll treat like you with the respect you deserve, and I'll never make you rush into anything you don't want. I promise." He kissed the top of her head. When he pulled back, he saw that a few silent tears were running down Lucy's face. He understood she felt emotional after think about her past relationship. He knew she found it difficult to get over at the time. He'd felt helpless back then.

He held her near him with one arm wrapped around her waist, while he wiped her tears away with his other hand. She never made sound, she just lay there in his arms as tears fell from her eyes.

"Anyway," Lee whispered, as she held onto his hand near her face, "we can forget about that now. We are what's important now, and we're happy as we are, aren't we?"

She nodded, and turned around in his arms so her back was leaning into his chest. "Hold me," she whispered quietly, as she held onto his hands that were wrapped around her body to keep them in place.

Lee didn't need to say anything, he just moved even closer to he so their bodies were always touching, and he held her tightly to him. He began to kiss her neck lovingly.

"I'm sorry," Lucy said after a while, "I'm sorry tonight wasn't as you hoped."

"But it was as I hoped," he said through he kisses, "because I've spent it with you. And I'm glad we've talked because now we can start again properly. Now, go to sleep." He placed one final kiss on her cheek and them rested his head behind hers.

Lucy took hold of one of his hands and brought it in front of her so she could play with his fingers. "I love you," she whispered, before falling asleep hold Lee's hand near her mouth so he could feel her lips touching his index finger.

I hope you've enjoyed chapter five! I will write some more, but if any of you have any suggestions on what else could happen in this story please say as I can't always think of ideas. X
