Tyler's POV;"Why didn't you take your medicines yet? Are you a child or what?" Daniel asked me after placing the medicines on the bedside table by the bed. While I was taking my medicine, he said, "I've talked with the board members about your current condition, and they have decided to postpone important meetings for at least three more days to allow you time to recover." I nodded at him. He continued, "Do not worry about your company for a while and take care of your health." I smiled at him as I replied, "Thank you," Daniel sighed heavily and shook his head slightly saying, "I'm just doing my job. Our grandfather would be upset if I didn't. We're family." "Did you talk to Lucy?" When I asked him, he looked away from me, and then looked back at me and shook his head as he responded. "No. She hasn't responded to any of my calls or messages since the last day of the week.""Is she mad at me?" I asked him, frowning slightly. He looked at me and said, "Of course not!" I gave
Lucy's pov;I came to the hotel where Matt is staying and saw Matt going somewhere. I walked to him and he didn't hear me coming up behind him so when I put my hand on his shoulder he jumped a little bit like he was surprised but then smiled at me like he always does when he sees me. "I have to talk to you." I said. He looked at me as if something was wrong with what I said, but he didn't look angry or upset or anything just curious so I figured it must be okay so I said again, more urgently this time, "Are you going somewhere?" He shook his head and said, "No not really, What do you want to talk about? Do you finally have time to go out with me?" I looked around and said, "Let's talk somewhere quieter," and I started walking towards one of the restaurants that were still open. We got to one of those places that only had a few people there and we sat down on a couple of cushioned chairs outside under an umbrella. Matt started talking before I could even ask him about that fi
Lucy's pov;At school, the day was as sunny as ever. The sky held no clouds, just a blue blanket that stretched to infinity. Giving a sign as the summer is approaching in full swing. When I worked in the club, everyday was the same with serving drinks and making sure the tables were always ready to be taken out. It was all bright lights and annoying loud music, but I enjoyed it anyway. I miss those days when life was easier for me even though I had debts to pay. "Lucy! Hey! Are you listening to me?" Casey asked , her voice snapping me out of my memories. "You look kinda spaced out." She said, I shook my head and returned to reality. "Sorry about that," I apologised with a smile, knowing I have an ugly habit of zoning out. "Your boss looked way too cool even though he had that cast on his leg. How can someone look handsome with a cast?" I laughed at the thought. "Is there any vacancy where you're working?" "You don't have to work under him to flirt with him. If you want to, you
Lucy's pov;When I came to the house, I closed the door behind and went straight to the bedroom and dropped down on the bed. I stared at the ceiling while I tried to process my feelings.I was so angry at myself. Why didn't I push him away? That was the question that kept running through my head as I felt my heart thump against my chest painfully and my hands ball into fists by my sides. Why did I let him get so close to me? I could still feel his lips against my cheek, or rather, I could still hear them in my mind. i wanted to slap him across his face right then and there for doing what he did but i couldn't. I touched my heart which had calmed down a little now asking, "Whenever he comes near me, it's like my body is trying to escape, my heart beats harder, and my palms are sweaty. Do I like him? No!! it's impossible !!" my body shook with every word that i said, "It can never happen! We're just friends. Just friends!" When I thought about that one kiss my heart stopped beating. H
Lucy's pov;I looked at the hand impression on my neck for the hundredth time in ten minutes that morning. Will Tyler notice this? I put on a turtleneck to hide it under an unzipped jacket, but he’s always been able to see through me like a hole in the wall. Let's just be careful today and hope he doesn't mention anything about it, especially if he asks what happened. When I came to the hospital, I went straight to Tyler's room and he was talking with the nurse while she was changing the cast on his leg. He looked at the clock when I entered, smiled and then continued talking about his plans for the weekend. I looked around for Daniel but I couldn't see him so I settled next to Tyler and continued listening to him. Daniel wasn't in the waiting room or corridor while I was heading to Tyler's room. Tyler, "You can pack your clothes and come back to our house since I'm getting discharged." He said. I nodded and asked, "Are you feeling better now?" He gave me a thumbs up and
Lucy's pov;At school, everyone was lined up outside of the gymnasium. While I was walking to them, Jason waves at me. ‘Yo’ he mouthed and I nodded in return and walked to stand along with my classmates. Casey, "I thought you wouldn't show up." "Why?" "Your boss is getting discharged today, right?" "How did you know about it?" "The nurse told me she heard that they were doing some sort of release paperwork." I nodded and asked, "Do you know how long it will take for them to vote?" she shrugged in response and said, "It depends on people how long they take to vote." Suddenly, The class president asked me, "Lucinda Jones. You're supposed to be standing in front of Luke. What are you doing here? Go back and stand with him." I nodded and walked to the back of the group where Luke stood. While I was standing and checking the time from now and then, Luke asked, "Alex told me that you backed away from running for the vice president position.""Yeah, I'm not so good with people, you
Lucy's pov;At the airport cafe, it was six o’clock and Kevin had a reservation on his flight to London in three hours but he was still drinking coffee with me. I placed the can of orange juice he’d bought for me back on top of the table and asked, "You look like you have something to say to me. What is it?" He looked down into my eyes and said , "It’s about you." he paused and said, "You look different ." I laughed lightly and took another sip of orange juice asking, "How so? How do I look different?" Kevin smiled and started to respond but the waitress interrupted by placing a plate of food in front of us and then leaving again. I watched her go and repeated the same. "You know what, maybe I shouldn't ask." and smiled at me and said, "So what's up with you and Tyler? How's it going?" "Huh?" I stopped sipping my drink and stared at him in confusion. "I'm not an expert but since I'm in a relationship, I think that's pretty obvious, isn't it?" "I don't get what you're talking ab
Lucy's pov;I woke up to the ceiling in my room . I sighed and rubbed my eyes, trying to adjust to the darkness that had settled around me. My mind raced as memories of last night came back to me. The door opened and Daniel walked in , carrying a tray with some breakfast on it. "I'm not hungry." I said, sitting up from my bed and pulling my knees closer to my chest. It wasn't an excuse, I just didn’t feel like facing him right now. He placed the tray while saying with a stern tone in his voice “Eat your food." "Did Tyler wake up? Did he ask for me?" When I tried to get up from the bed, he grabbed my hand and made me sit on the bed saying with a soft voice "No, not yet. Don’t worry about him right now. He is still asleep." He let go of my hand and put the tray down next to where I was laying. I took a piece of bread from the tray, and started eating it, while glancing at Daniel. When he saw my glance, he gave me a weak smile that seemed forced, and said, "If you're worried about
