Lockwood's POV

For quite a long time, she lay down on my lap as she began counting.. sheep? I don't know.

Before I knew it, she was sound asleep.

It was just like before the accident.

But I knew this wouldn't last.

I knew that for sure.

When she wakes up, she'll be deeply embarrassed and she won't be even able to look at me.

I knew her better than she knew herself.

So I gently carried her, very lightly so she wouldn't wake up (and that would be a very awkward situation,) to her room.

I lay her down on her bed and put a blanket on top of her.

I itched to lie down beside her, but of course, it was not meant to be.

I watched her sleep for a while (and don't think I'm like that lousy vampire from Twilight. I didn't stay all night.)

Then her phone beeped of a text beside the bed.

I quickly checked if she was still asleep.

Thankfully, she didn't even stir.

Then I turned to the phone and scowled at it.

Curiosity got the best of me and I quickly looked at her phone.

It was the phone I gave her quite a long time ago, about.. 3 years ago?

I can't believe she actually kept it until now.

Passcode..

I tried her birthday. It actually opened.

Next time, try making something less obvious, love, I thought.

It was a message from Scorpius.

At least she didn't save his name as 'my dear Scorpius' or something. Whew.

Anyway, talking about the message..

Scorpius- Good night Lucy :))

I just glared at the phone.

Then I got curious of what they actually talked about. I scrolled through their texts.

Lucy- Hi :)

Scorpius- Hello

Lucy- I made a ship name!

What the heck? Of her and Scorpius?

Scorpius- What's our ship name now?

Our? What?

Lucy- I figured, Scorpius and Rose, so... Scorose! Isn't it beautiful?

Who the heck was Rose now? My head was spinning.

I stared at the phone gingerly, and put it down.

I decided, no more snooping for me.

It would just put me in more confusion.

"Good night, love," I said quietly and gently kissed Lucy on her forehead.
