Lucy's POV~~~~
I pounded my fist on my pillow. I was growing impatient. It was 2:00 in the morning and I couldn't fall asleep. No matter what I did. Nothing. I didn't feel tired. It was silent all through the house except for Georges snoring coming from down stairs.

What to do? I looked around the room. I could get some extra work done. Or maybe I could just relax a bit and draw. I picked up my sketchbook. I first drew a line. Then another and another. I felt more relaxed now. I wasn't paying much attention to what I was drawing at the moment. My mind somewhat drifted off. I started thinking about our next case. Then our last case. Then I thought of the time when George was trying to jump over a tiny bookcase and tripped at the last moment sending him tumbling over the bookcase and on to the floor. It put a smile on my face. I thought about how we couldn't stop laughing. That meaning Lockwood and I. Lockwood. Oh Lockwood. I thought about his lean torso. His perfect jaw line. His- what in the world was I saying. He's my boss. Not my boyfriend. I smiled at the thought of me and him together. I suddenly remembered that I was at one point drawing. I looked down. Oh no. I drew him. Lockwood. I shut the book and threw it under my bed. Laying back down I shut my eyes and started to drift off.

Not 30 seconds later I heard a loud scream. A girly scream. " LUCY HELP!" It was Lockwood. I jumped up out of bed and ran to the door. Retching it open I flew down the stairs taking them two at a time. I ran down to the kitchen to see Lockwood on one side of the room. His left hand was pointing at something on the other side of our messy kitchen. His right hand held his rapier. I looked down. Drat. My rapier was upstairs. Oh well.

" What is it!?!?" I said.
" STINK BUG!!!" He screamed.
I couldn't help it. I fell to the floor. I couldn't stop laughing. My sides started to hurt and my lungs screamed for air.
" Its not funny. Do something!" He wailed.
I stood up, which took some effort. Walking over to the window above the sink, which thanks to George was overflowing with dirty dishes, I scooped up the bug. It tried to fly away but I held it firmly between my thumb and pointer finger. I went to open the window but stopped.

Turning around toward Lockwood, a grin going from ear to ear, I looked at him. He looked at me then at the bug between my fingers, and back at me again.

"Don't. You. Even. Try it." He said in a scared voice. I took a step closer.
" Lucy!" Lockwood said in a warned voice.
One more step forward. Then another. And another. Moving ever so slowly. He was pressed up against the wall. The same grin still plastered to my face.
" Not another step." He said. His voice this time was low. His eyes widened with fear from what. This harmless,little bug. Three more steps and I would be right in front of him.

I lunged at him. Pushing my hand with the bug toward him. He screamed his girly little scream but instead of running away like most people would have, he just sank to the floor. He had his hands covering his face and I stopped. I felt bad so I walked back toward the window and threw it out. It was cold out side. A breeze sent a chill threw my bones. I closed the window and bend down to wash my hands. When I turned around Lockwood was only two feet away from me. This time he had the grin on his face. I wiped my hands on my shorts. Wait. I looked down. No no no no no. My outfit. Would you like to now what I had on. A sport bra and shorty shorts. Yup. I was standing in from of my boss with almost nothing on. This is awkward.

" Nice outfit." He said flashing me a devilish grin. Not his 100 gigawatt smile. This was a completely new smile. It was, like I had said, devilish. It was kinda cute.

" uhhh yeah 'bout that." I was stammering.
He took another step forward.
" Thanks for terrifying me with that nasty excuse for a bug." He said shuttering.
" anytime."  I said. Now it was my turn to grin.
He took another step forward. He was inches from my face.  My cheeks grew hot.
" I should get back up to bed." I said. Man, did I feel stupid.
"  Your just going to leave now. You haven't even apologized."
" for what? You scared the crud out of me by screaming my name at 2:00 in the morning. You should be the one apolog-" Thats all I got out before he lunged forward, snaking his left arm around my bare waist, pulling me closer. Then he crashed his lips onto mine. I couldn't do anything. I was frozen by shock. He was. Kissing me. He all of a sudden pulled back, letting go of my waist.
" Lucy. Im s-sorry. I shouldn't have done that." He said. His ears were pink. He turned to leave, running halfway across the room before I came to my senses again. I ran after him. He had just reached the stairs when I grabbed his coat pulling him back down to me.

Then I did something that was probably not the wisest. I reached up and kissed him. He snaked both hands around my waist. Holding me closer, kissing me back. When we pulled away I put my head on his chest. His heart was racing faster and faster by the second. I looked up at him.

" you have no clue how long I have wanted to do that Luce. " he sounded out of breath. I liked seeing him nervous. It was cute.
" Im guessing a long time." I said in a playful tone.

" you know it babe." He said repeating my tone.
" umm sense when have you ever called me babe?" I asked.
" sense now babe. Is there an issue with that?"
" none what so ever." Pulling on a huge grin I said. " Big A."
"No no no no no no no. Not happening Luce. Not happening at all. Stop it. No." He said but I knew he was joking. I giggled . He grinned at me then in two seconds flat he picked me up bridle style and carried me up stairs. He passed the stairs the lead to my room. He went strait passed and stooped at his door. He turned us around and backed into the room. He lowered me onto his large bed and climbed in next to me. He pulled me closer.

" be my girl Lucy, be my everything." He said in a voice that sounded so sincere it touched my heart. How could I say no to him.

" Lockwood. I would be honored to be your girl." And with that we fell asleep in each others arms.
