Lucy's phone had woke her up, she sat up on her king size bed, stretched and yawn before picking up her phone. She checked to see why the phone has made such sound and found a new message.
Maybe it's necessary or not but it's too early for messages. She thought as she checked on the wall clock.
"Oh, nine O, clock? She gasped as her head titled back to her phone to check the message, its Doris and she's asking her to meet her in shop by ten. She frowned, why will her mum has sent her text instead of calling and even state the time she she should meet her in shop?
She didn't forget to remind her to take her breakfast which is already set on the dinning table.
Lucy fumble under her blanket, she seems to be too tired to go out now or stand up from this sweet tempting bed. The warmth feeling under the blanket reminded of her taunting memory, the one she'd had from yesternight, what really happened yesternight. She thought as she winced and shut her eyes, poker faced trying to hide the embarrassment she thought she'd received yesterday. She'd thought he wanted to kiss him but she was sure he did. She saw it coming as he kept getting closer to her and his head to her face. She winced again .
But she'd wanted the kiss badly that she couldn't help it anymore at that moment.
Swiftly, she sat upright on the bedsheets as she removed the blanket from her face.
"I have to maintain my poker face, nothing has happened right?" She soliloquies as she shook her head
"Yeah nothing" she smile as she check the walk clock again. It's 10 minutes past nine and she must dress up and meet her mum by that ten if not, the old lady will have to spank her. It's funny how her Mom's behavior do change sometimes.
"Only god knows if my grandmother do rear chameleon when she was pregnant of her or raising her" she laughed at her words, knowing they're not possible.
"Time to get your dirty body cleaned up Lucy" she said as she jump off her big bed and left to the bathroom but not without kissing her big pink Teddy bear which she named 'Kim na na'
Arthur tossed over on his bed embracing his blanket tightly to himself as if it'll run away, he seems to be enjoying his sleep and will never want to wake up until a ray of sunshine from the window welcome itself on his face. He frowned and turned his head otherside but it was too late, he'd woke up and knowing it'll not be easy to get another precious sleep again, he remained still on his bed, getting enough rest and getting himself together for the next thing he'll have to do which he doesn't even know yet.
Having been thinking and staring off for a while. He decided to shut his eyes and this picture came. He could see himself kissing Lucy beside a pool. His eyes quickly widened as he sat up on the bed little terrified. The memory of what happened yesternight came back to him again. It was like a dream but it was real. He knew there's something to this girl she'd always protect and think of as a sister to him since they're family friends. The kiss he'd had with her yesternight would have always be the last thing he'd do with her but surprisingly it seems to be what he'd always been longing for but he was not stupid, though can be stupid but not completely stupid. It's barely five years now him and her mother had relocated to France, Paris to be precise and her mom had introduced Doris to him as her childhood friend who got parted after her(Linda's) wedding but thank God they've not change their address so it was somehow easy locating them. Nevertheless, Linda also introduced Lucy to him as her sister henceforth and she encouraged Lucy to call her mom as she'll be her daughter while she can be her second mom henceforth.
Arthur could still remember all this vividly without forgetting a word, Linda had enrolled him in the same school with Lucy so he can always oversee her and take care of her. In fact, the last thing she'd always reminded him while going to school was "Take of Lucy for me okay?". This has become a routine and Arthur would sometimes end the statement for her and rushed out to catch the bus.
He knew he'd sometimes felt jealous of this, why will her Mom love someone else kid so much over hers, he undoubtedly knew he'd been put in the same class with hers just to balance the equation of him studying as he continue with his 'unending and unnecessary' daily job of protecting someone who though really need some protection as she's a weak and lonely type and a prey to bully. This made their relationship get easier as she already got not many friends and Arthur has been introduced to her and made to protect her as a sister but it was funny he had not see her as sister or he had not want to but he had no choice but to fight that through.
"She's my sister" he thought
"Or he's supposed to be my sister" he added as he sat up from his king size bed, sliding his thick blanket to the other side and putting his foot on the floor. He brought out his laptop maybe he could find something that could interest him this morning and take away this stupid feelings rumbling in him,the complicated feelings and the stupid thought that he could go downstairs, meet Lucy, talk and chat with her. At least she's no longer the shy girl again and now maybe she could see in him what he'd always wanted. That she's not a sister to him but someone more than that but damn it, how could he think everything is normal and equal just like that? No. He'd remember his uncle telling him in New York that love is for old people, relationship is for the inexperienced while falling in love is for the low life but seriously, he's none of these. He's the son of one of the richest man who owns one of the richest company in New York. He'd been told the business was sourcefully owned by his grandfather passed to his father and will definetly be passed to him too.
He tossed the laptop on his bed, nothing much is interesting and it's not a surprise. It's Monday morning so every reasonable worker will definitely be at work while students in school. He sighed as he got out of his room to get a cup of coffee downstairs.
