AS GOOD AS DEAD → ANTHONY LOCKWOOD

XXII

You never asked, part three.

"DO YOU THINK I SHOULD DATE SOMEBODY?" Greer asked, literally out of nowhere as she ate her ice cream. It's just it suddenly went to her mind.

"Yeah, totally." Lucy agreed, nodding as she took a handful from Greer's ice cream using her spoon "You look good together." Greer slaps her hand away, glaring at her for taking so many when she already has hers "Lockwood and I don't look good together." Greer denied, "I didn't say who." Lucy told her, looking away to hide her smile.

"I just meant that whoever it is you're gonna date, you will look good together." But, Lucy couldn't blame her for saying that, almost all people say that they are a perfect 'fit'

At first glance, it probably does seem like Greer and Lockwood are in love. After all, Greer sleeps in his bed, and she wears his shirts — very accidentally.

The fact that everyone seems entirely convinced that she and Lockwood are secretly madly in love, yet neither of them sees that.

"Do you know that my birthday is nearing?" Greer asked, "Really? I wasn't informed."

"Now you are." Greer chuckled, secretly hoping for a present from Lucy "What do you usually do on your birthday?" Lucy asked, wanting to know what they usually do at Portland Row when someone celebrates their birthday. Lucy assumed George would cook all sorts of delicious dishes, Greer would decorate the kitchen — or rather the whole house — and Lockwood would help serve the food.

Well, that's when George joined in.

"I and Lockwood always ate pancakes in the morning with a candle on it and he always filled the hallways with balloons so I could walk through it once I woke up." Greer smiled at the memory she and Lockwood shared when it was just the two of them against the whole world.

"That sounds fun." Lucy giggled, amusement with a mix of jealousy started filling her up. Growing up, her mother never really did anything for her birthday, leaving her to celebrate alone.

"By the way? What store would we buy our dress?" Lucy asked, "Come, I know just where to buy the perfect dress for us." Greer grabbed Lucy's hand in excitement, "Do you London that well?" Lucy asked as she chuckled, "Not that well, but yes, I know it well." Greer answered.

Lucy lets greer completely drag her around like she doesn't have any other choices, plus she needs Greer to be her stylist because she doesn't know what to buy because she has never been to a party like the party Fittes is throwing.

And Greer is a fashion legend. A girl who knew her way around fashion and when she walked past everyone, they were looking at her, especially her outfit but mainly her because who doesn't love a girl who knows how to dress?

They stopped at one building, both completely out of breath as they stared at the store before Greer dragged her inside again.

"This is heaven." Greer breathed as she let go of Lucy's hand and left Lucy at the door to wander off the store "Hey, Greer, wait!" Lucy yelled after her, causing some customers to turn their heads towards her.

And what Lockwood said is starting to become true.

"Oh, god, help me," Lucy muttered under her breath as she followed Greer all over the store until she also found a blue dress she really did fall in love with before Greer pulled her to the dressing room with lots of dresses on her hand to try on.

Greer had many dresses in her arms, mostly it's fitted and black just like she was going to a funeral.

"What do you think Lockwood would like?" Greer asked for Lucy's opinion. Lucy smiled to herself, trying her best to hide it as she also hid her face from Greer's view in the mirror.
