This is chapter 1. I know my chapters are short but there's going to be a lot of them. There's only Luce and Daniel in this scene - I'm sorry - but I thought you'd all need to see where they gotten up to so far. Enjoy.


"Luce," a distant voice calls as I feel like my body is being rocked. "Luce?" This time, the voice is clearer and slightly familiar. I try to pry my eyes open so I can see who is calling me but they're clamped shut. "Lucinda?" The mention of my full name pulls me back from dreamland and my lids feel lighter as I finally get them to open.

I come face to face with my boyfriends perfect violet eyes and my heart beat quickens. I feel the corners of my mouth turn up. His blonde hair is ruffled and uneven which gives him a sexy morning look. Definitely something I could get used to.

"Daniel." I breath and pull him closer to me. I plant the biggest morning kiss I could manage on his full lips and melt into him. His hands circle around my back and he pulls me closer. He comes up for a breath and I take the opportunity to get mine back as well. Pulling me even closer, his head bends down as he gives me one of those intoxicating kisses. His tongue gently touches my closed lips and I immediately open my mouth wider to let him in. My tongue dances with his as he flips me onto my back, pulling the covers over us.

I break away for a second breath. "Not yet - I don't want to rush things. We've only known each other for 6 months and I-"

"I wasn't going to do that...not that I wouldn't...I didn't mean...I just thought that maybe...you were cold...," he breathes back, his voice coming out in jagged breaths. "You're not ready yet are you?"

"No. You don't mind the wait though, do you?" I ask and look away, feeling guilty for making him wait this long.

"I would wait 10,000 years for you to be ready." He replied and I feel butterflies in my stomach flutter about. He always knows the right things to say. "There are more important things than...that...like you."

I gave him a quick kiss on the nose. "I love you, you know that right?"

"Yeah." He replies and kisses my nose back. "I love to too."

"Why did you wake me up?" I question, sitting up and finding my top and pants that were on the floor somewhere. We didn't do anything last night but I will still sleep in my pyjamas and I'm not going out in them.

"Well, you said that you wanted to go bridesmaid shopping for Nora's wedding and I thought that if we get there when the shop opens, then you'll have more choice."

Ah yes, Nora's wedding. Nora is my roommate in collage and 2 years older than me. I first met her when I started my new college 6 months ago, a week after my 17th birthday, and she had been my roommate. She had been flirting with the guy next door who was also 19 and had become his girlfriend really quickly. Last week, he proposed to her and she accepted and she made me the maid of honour. I am grateful for Daniel to wake me up this early and it's these little things that he does that makes me love him even more.

"Thank you so much." I say.

"No problem. Do you want me to come?" He asks, fetching his clothes off the floor to put them on as well. He slept in some joggers and a loose t-shirt.

"If you don't mind?" I look at my dirty clothes I'm about to put on and feel grateful that I brought my red, low cut summer dress. I shimmy into my dress and quickly brush my straight black hair as it falls into place at my waist.

"Never. You look amazing by the way." He says, giving me a look over.

"Can I tell you something?" I sit down on the edge of the bed and await for him to finish getting dressed.

"Anything - you know that." He replies as he pulls his black shirt over his head.

I take a deep breath. "I had that dream again." I blurt out and wait for his shocked reaction but it never comes.

"The one where we are in that meadow and the speaking light takes us away?" He asks and I can't help but feel looney.

"Well when you put it like that, you make me sound delusional and insane." I huff and cross my arms over my chest. God, Iwas being a moody brat today.

"Hey," he coos and comes and sits down next to me, pulling me into his arms, "I don't think you're delusional or insane, I'd never think that, ok?" I nod and he smiles. "Come on. We don't want to be late."


The next chapter is shorter - sorry again! - but soothing strange happens to them and leaves them puzzled...
