Lucy's POV

I rolled around in my bed, obviously uncomfortable.

It felt like I was supposed to feel comfortable, but I wasn't.

I wasn't talking any sense, was I?

Suddenly, the door opened and a figure came in.

I didn't say anything.

Then I felt the bed dip beside me.

After a moment, someone was hugging me.

Very naturally that it seemed like he's done it forever.

"Lockwood?" I asked.

"Shhh," he said and just cuddled me.

I would be lying if I said I didn't mind.

Because I did mind.

"Excuse me," I said coldly. "I don't think strangers like us are supposed to be cuddling in bed at night, really. I wish you could go out of my room right now, if you wouldn't mind, and let me have some sleep,"

Even in the darkness of the night, I could see his reaction.

It looked like he was shot.

He looked pained.

A tiny bit of my heart felt guilty, but I knew it was the right choice.

"Forgive me," he said.

What?

And then he crashed his lips onto mine.
