Lucinda x OC

Chapter 10

Alex's POV

We were finally getting ready to head back to the house and get ready to reopen our store. "Ready to go yet, Alex?" Lucinda asked, opening the bedroom door.

"Yeah, just packing up the last things of ours." I said. Once I got everything packed, I took it downstairs and set it with the rest of everyone's stuff. "Is everyone ready to go?" Guy asked, appearing from nowhere.

"Where do you keep coming from?" Katelyn asked. Guy didn't answer her question and just kept talking about the cruise ride home. It took a few hours, but when we got on the boat, me and Lucinda went to our room ready to settle down for the day. "Lucinda, Alex, you two better not be just planning on spending the day in there." Katelyn said, knocking on the door. I opened it and looked at her. "Do we have to come out?" I asked. Katelyn nodded and dragged me out of the room. "Lucinda help." I said.

"Don't worry, I'm coming too." She said. I let out a sigh of defeat as we headed to the deck. On the deck, there were plenty of games and things to do. They even had a few places where we could buy some treats and stuff. We played quite a few games with everyone until night came. Once the sunset, the group took one last picture of all of us on vacation together. "Tonight was fun, huh?" Lucinda asked as we laid down.

"Yeah, but now I have to think about reopening the shop." I said.

"I see, while you're at it do we want to maybe look at redesigning the store?" Lucinda suggested.

"How so?" I asked.

"You and I both know that making potions at home is nice, but traveling between locations with potions can be dangerous depending on what I made." Lucinda said.

"Yeah, well maybe we can either find a new store location or just redesign mine when we get back." I said. She nodded and leaned into my chest. "How long till we get home?" She asked.

"No idea, but maybe a week or so." I said.

"Okay, what should we do with that time?" She asked. I thought for a minute before looking at her. "Maybe start thinking about the redesign for the store." I suggested.

"Really?" She asked shocked. I nodded before kissing her forehead. "Now let's get some sleep." I said. We quickly fell asleep after that. The next morning we woke up to knocking on the door, this time Aphmau was inviting us to breakfast. We agreed to come with her and made our way down to the restaurant area of the ship. After breakfast me and Lucinda started talking about how to change the shop, so Lucinda could work there as well. After a while we decided that it would be best to just invest in a new shop with more space. "Sorry if this isn't what you wanted." Lucinda said.

"I actually was thinking about expanding my shop anyways." I said. She wrapped her arms around me giving me a hug. "Thank you so much." She said. I smiled and kissed her again. "No problem, besides I like working with my witch." I said. I watched as her face flushed red. She was left speechless as I got up to go find some other things to do. "Where are you going?" She asked looking at me.

"I figured I'd go out and do something fun while you process your emotions." I said.

"I already did." She said getting up and following me out of the room. We played games all day before heading back and continuing to talk about the new shop. A week later we got back and the first thing we did was get some new clothes before going out and finding a new store to set up as our shop. We looked around for few hours before everyone texted us telling us to come back to the neighborhood. We headed abck to see that they demolished the entire street. "Well I guess we need to find a new house as well." Lucinda said.

We spent a few hours talking about what to do before Garroth's dad showed up and offered all of us houses in a new neighborhood that they bought. They led us to the neighborhood and showed us around letting us decided on our houses. Aphmau and Arron decided to move in together while everyone else split up into pairs or trios then divided the houses amougst ourselves. After that me and Lucinda continued our little hunt to find a new shop location. The one we ended up picking and looking at was a tad bit bigger then my old one, but it would allow both of us to have some sort of stock on the floor at the same time rather then us haaving to tell everyone about what each of us sold at the store.
