04 - Aisle #2
Brock x Lucy
Lucy's P.O.V.
"You're gorgeous, you know that right?"
"Huh?" I said, as I turned around completely caught off guard in the small aisle of the Minamo department store. I find these evocative squinted eyes locked upon me.
"Oh Brock, it's you!" I breathe out, as I relax my body.
"Well what are you standing there for? Come here my queen!"
Without hesitation, I was enveloped by his strong arms. With his hold securely wrapped around the small curves of my waist.
Don't freak out.. Don't freak out.. Oh my god, what if I smell?! I'm so close to him. I can feel his heartbeat…. Act cool! Act cool! Oh but how I feel so safe in your charismatic grasp.
"Brock! Let go!" I said, trying to act as if I didn't want him to squeeze me tighter.
"Oh come on, don't pretend you don't miss me.." He whispers his smooth-tongued breath into my ear.
Just like that, l melted in a fraction of a second. I had no strength in me to combat his grip. I didn't want to.
"That's it." He said, as he felt me fall weak in his embrace.
"Oh shush.." I murmur, as I bury my face into his chest.
"What is my Luc doing here all by herself? Why, someone could just snatch you up!" Brock tugs me in closer.
"I'd let you." I say, gazing straight into the deep soulful eyes that I desire to be mine.
It was almost as if he was in shock with my response. Not knowing how to respond. As I expected of course.
"I w-well, u uh.."
As Brock was incoherently speechless, I smirk.
He blushes.
"Just take me already." I exhale, without fear of being honest with my feelings and intentions. I don't have time for that.
As soon as the last word escaped through my lips, I was swept off my feet. Finally..
He secured one hand under my thighs and the other supporting my back, making me feel more like a true queen now.
In response, I wrapped my arms around him and nestled my head into his neck.
At that moment, time and space stopped altogether.
At that moment, I felt our hearts beat as one.
At that moment, I was home.
I lift my head up and notice how his eyes have been shifting continuously to my lips and back to my gaze.
I am so desperate to kiss you. My heart is pounding... I wish you'd just kiss me already... This is taking too long!
I could feel the anticipation of the kiss. We were leaning into each other very closely. As we grazed our lips together, the kiss moved with rhythm ever so slowly. His lips were so soft, it made my blood rush from head to toe. I didn't want this bliss to end.
*Poke. Poke. Poke*
"Uh hem.. Move it or lose it!"
Confused, we both simultaneously break apart. Returning from our idealized view of reality, we look around to find this little old lady poking Brock with her cane. As he was clearly blocking the shelves of the merchandise.
" I'm sorry ma'am." Completely embarrassed, my face turns red.
"Ahh she can wait, just one more!" Brock says, completely unbothered while he pulls me in for another round.
"Yuck! Clean up on aisle 2!" The old lady exclaims irritatingly as she walks away.
