LUCAS POV

5:40 am
Monday

I woke up early today because I was going to meet Boss before school. My timer goes off and I stay in my slumber for a bit, wishing I can sleep till noon.

"Ugh."

I get up and check my phone, for any notifications and see one from Natalie.

NATALIE
I sent the code to Boss's room. You should be able to get in. gn

It was sent at 1 am.

What's she doing up late?
She okay?

My mind wanders to yesterday when she was with Boss. My heart hurt for her because she was in pain, I knew they were close and all I wanted to do was wrap my arms around her beautiful body and inhale the coconut Argon scent of her curly hair.

Her hugs...

My body reacts to the thought of her and despite the Boston cold, my skin feels warm to the touch.

She's always what I think of.

I like her. I know that, but I promised her we would focus on the mission.

That's what I'm doing.

Hospital
6:30 am

I stop at BlackLight to get Boss's stuff and head into the Hospital which greets me with warm heat and antiseptic.

I nod at one of the clerks that recognizes me and head up to his room and I open the door quietly in case he's up, but when I enter I  see a nurse with him.

"Lucas."

"Boss."

He thanks the nurse and she leaves to give us privacy.

"Why aren't you asleep? It's early."

He laughs. "Man, they come with medication every few hours for the pain then I go back to sleep.  You got my stuff, thank you."

"Of course Boss."

Something told me he wasn't done talking so I take a seat.

"How is she, Lucas?"

Natalie.

"She's fine. She's really strong."

"That she is. She got that from her mother. Her mother wasn't afraid of any situation but respected it. She would trap a poisonous bug, but would find every way to safely let it go before she hurts it."

I nod, imagining her bravery.

"I trust you two. I know she will do well, just make sure she isn't too concerned about me."

"Kind of hard to do that, sir, she cares about you a lot. She was worried."

"And I love her like a daughter. Divert her mind from me if you can, will you? I know you two are close friends."

I scoff at the word friends without even knowing until I notice.

Boss smiles, I don't know why. "Go to school, I still don't know why school is so early. If I made a school I would start it at 10 am."
