Lulu picked up on Greg's vibes by the way he looked her up and down, when Natalie wasn't looking of course.
"Sit down, sit down!" Natalie urges them, Lulu eyes Greg a sense of nervousness overtaking her because of the night she'd just had. Johnny senses her change in demeanor and takes her hand, jerking her out of her trance. Johnny and Lulu both sat down on the couch, exchanging a look.
"Can I get you guys something to drink?"Natalie was clueless to anything out of the ordinary going on, she had a bright smile and just wanted to host.
"Waters fine, thank you." Lulu forces a smile.
"Same for me, thanks Nat." Johnny nods.
"Oh, you two are no fun! You sure you don't want any alcohol?* Natalie mock pouted.
"It's been a long night, maybe next time." Johnny says, as Natalie goes to the kitchen to get drinks.
"Babe, can you bring me another beer?" Greg calls out.
"Of course!" Natalie calls out.
"Am I just traumatized or is Greg checking me out?" Lulu whispers to Johnny, keeping her voice low.
"He was eyeing you up and down, it's not just you. Nat has always had a thing for losers. Don't worry, you won't be alone with him. I'm not going to let him touch you." Johnny whispers back, assuring her. A wave of comfort washed over the blonde, knowing Johnny wasn't leaving her side.
"What are you two talking about over there?" Greg threw a smirk in their direction.
"Nothing that would interest you." Lulu says, leaning back against the couch as Natalie came back with the drinks.
"Damn, are you two tired?" Natalie frowned, noticing they both looked exhausted.
"Like I said, it's been a long day." Johnny wanted to keep it at that, especially with this creep around.
"Well, you know I've got that extra bedroom! You two can stay the night, I don't want you guys driving back all tired." Natalie frowned.
"Are you okay with that? I am a little tired but, I'll drive you home if that's really what you want." Johnny needed to make sure she was comfortable.
"Johnny, I don't want you driving if your tired. You need sleep too. I know you think your superman but, your not. I'm fine with it." Lulu vanished the thought of Johnny driving.
"Johnny needs someone that can call him on his shit. I can that the two of you have a connection. You guys can go on up if you'd like, I'm really glad you guys came by. Don't be a stranger." Natalie smiles warmly.
"Thank you, it was really nice meeting you! I'll always keep Johnny in check, best believe." Lulu really had been glad to meet his cousin.
"Thanks for letting us stay." Johnny stands up from the couch.
"Johnny, your family! Your always welcome here, you know that." Natalie waves him off, before Johnny holds his hand out to Lulu and she accepts it standing from the couch. Johnny leads her up the steps and to a bedroom, shutting the door behind them.
"I really didn't like the way Greg was looking at you." Johnny sighed, earning a slight smile from Lulu.
"Yeah?" She asked him.
"Nobody should be looking at you that way." Johnny felt protective over Lulu, not that she was his girlfriend or anything but he only wanted to look at her in that way. Johnny wanted to kill every male that looked at her in that way.
"Only you. Right?" Lulu smirked at him, Johnny opened his mouth in shock.
"I...don't know what your talking about." Johnny shook his head, hiding the blush that crept up on his face.
"Yes you do! Whenever another guy looks at me, you get jealous. What's with that?" Lulu smirked, already knowing how Johnny felt about her.
"I get jealous because I know how beautiful you are, and I don't want other guys to see you how I see you. I...want to protect you from all the guys like Hayes and Greg. Your not just a piece of meat, or a one time thing. You are the most beautiful and bravest person I've ever met, and I don't want anyone taking you away from me. I know that your not my girlfriend or anything but, you deserve to know how I feel about you." Johnny wasn't one to admit his feelings but, he couldn't not let her know how he felt.
"I know we're not a thing but, I do have feelings for you. You do protect me from all the jerky guys out there, you always show up exactly when I need you. There's nobody that has ever cared about me more than you do, I'm glad that your in my life Johnny." Lulu knew that she'd felt something for him since the night they met.
"You do? I think I have feelings for you to. I don't know exactly how it feels because I've never really done this before, or chosen to get this close to another person before. I'll always protect you, from everyone if I have to. Your a big part of my life, Lulu." Johnny meant every word he said, because it was the truth.
"I do, of course I do. I think that your doing great, you are the only person that I've ever felt safe with. I guess that's why I don't mind being somewhere I'm not familiar with, because I'm with you. I know that you'd never put me in harm's way. I know you care about me." Lulu sat on the edge of the bed, untying her boots and slipping them off.
"I'm glad I can make you feel safe. Are you okay with sharing a bed? If not, I can sleep on the floor." Johnny would do anything to make her feel comfortable.
"Johnny! I'm not going to make you sleep on the floor. Do you know how painful that would be? I'm fine with sharing the bed. It's nice to be somewhere different." Lulu could never do this at the mansion or Johnny's father's house.
"Once I get an apartment in the city, we can do this all the time. That's actually what I look forward to the most, us having a place to go where we're both unbothered. Hell, you could move in if you really wanted to." Johnny sat on the bed beside her.
"I'd like that." Lulu smiled, letting out a loud yawn.
"Go to sleep, I'll be there in a minute." Johnny smiled at her.
"Okay, don't stay up too late. You need sleep too, superman." Lulu smirked, climbing under the covers and shutting her eyes.
