Lucien's POV:

I was sitting on the porch swing with Samantha. The boys were spraying each other with the hose in the background.

I looked at her and saw how beautiful she looked right now. She was reading and had a pencil holding up her hair in a bun. Small pieces of hair fell perfectly into her face and the light fell across her features perfectly.

I tapped he shoulder and said when she looked up at me, "Can I draw you, please?"

She smiled, "Of course! You can sketch me whenever you want! You don't need to ask for permission. I trust you wouldn't take advantage of my permission and I thank you for asking!"

"Thank you, Samantha!" I ran up to my room and grabbed my supplies quickly.

When I got down she had continued reading. I sat back next to her and started sketching. I ended up with a decent drawing of her. I messed up a little with her hands.

I showed her it and she replied, "Oh my gosh! It's so perfect!" She hugged me. "It looks like it was taken with camera." She continued to praise my skill as I sat there frozen. She was still hugging me.

I relaxed once I realized she had no intention in moving until I hugged back. With painful slowness I wrapped my arms around her and set my head on her shoulder.

If I leaned up a little a could kiss her pulse. I could smell her lavender shampoo. I could feel the rumble of her laugh echoing through her. I'm sooo whipped.

I drew her other times after gaining her permission.

"I'm going to draw you." I whispered to her while she was washing dishes. She would always visible shiver when I did this but it probably wasn't for the reason I wanted it to be.

I whispered it to her again while she was singing along to the car radio.

I whispered it to her when she was cleaning her room.

I whispered it to her when she was falling asleep on the couch.

I whispered it when she was putting go on her make up.

I whispered a dozen more times in the last week of summer we had. I always showed my drawing to her and she always praised them with a huge smile. She always hugged me and I finally aloud my self to hug back with hesitation.

Without realizing I stopped hiding my feelings. Without realizing I let my best friend's sister into my heart, mind, body, and soul. She was apart of my everyday now.

I wake her up at 8, drag her to my room, show her my 3 a.m. drawings, she falls asleep so I play music for her to sleep to, she wakes up, we eat, we hang out with the others, read by ourselves, go back to her room, strum the guitar on the floor, she falls asleep for the night, I play her vinyls, and go back to my room knowing that it was a good day.

She made my day good.

For the first time in my life I was school wasn't around the corner. Once we go to school we'll be separated and I'll have to deal with it.
