Just a kiss

It starts with a hug

T- I'll take the couch.
L-wait I thought you were setting that up for me?
T- I'm not gonna have a guest sleeping on the couch.
L- and I'm not gonna kick you out of your own bed. Come on get up.
T- okay
Tim gets up. For a moment they just stand there. Not knowing what to do or to say.
T- do you need m- anything?
L- the last 24 hours back.
T- I'm afraid I don't have that power.
L- a hug
T- yeah yea come here.
Tim gave Lucy a hug and she immediately started sobbing when she felt his arm wrap around her. She felt a sense of safety in his arms. Tim backed away from the hug.
T- okay
L- thanks
They stood there again not knowing what to do. They both fell some sort of comfort when hugging.
T- night uh yea

Tim went and laid in bed. But Lucy still stood in the middle of the living room where Tim had left her. After a minute she went and laid down on the couch. Both of them couldn't wrap their head around that hug. It didn't feel like a normal hug that friends gave each other. There was something more but they couldn't place it. After thinking for a few minutes Lucy stood up. She wanted to be closer to Tim but couldn't explain it, she went to his bedroom and knocked on the door.
L- Tim are you still awake?
T- yes, is something wrong?
L- yes, uhm I mean no. Can I just sleep in here with you? I really don't want to sleep alone tonight.
T- oh yes sure. Come get in.

Lucy went and laid next to Tim on the bed. They both laid on the edge of the bed. Tim on his side and Lucy on the other. Even though they weren't that close to each other. They both felt a bit better knowing that they were close to each other. So they fell asleep.

The next morning Tim woke up before Lucy. He woke up to Lucy laying on his chest. All cuddled up. He liked this feeling of her laying on his chest. So he wasn't complaining. He looked at Lucy admiring how cute she was when she is sleeping. After a while he had to get up to go for a walk with kojo. He slowly got out of bed. He didn't want to wake her. He saw how tired she was and how much she needed this.

An hour went by. Lucy was still asleep. Tim had showered and was now making some breakfast for the two of them. He had only put on some joggers, he didn't bother with a shirt. Lucy had woken up by the smell of breakfast. She stood up and stood there in the doorframe. Watching Tim making breakfast. Tim was with his back to Lucy, so he hadn't seen her yet. When he turned to get something from the fridge he saw her.
T- morning sleepyhead.
L- mor- uhm morning.
Lucy stumbled with her words because she wasn't prepared to see Tim without a shirt.
T- do you want some fried eggs and bacon?
L- uhm yes please. It smells delicious.

After breakfast they went and got ready to go to the station. They still had to make sure Angela was safe. At the end of the day they had saved Angela and her still unborn baby. La Feira was locked up.
L- oh Tim, can I drive with you again? I have to get my bag from your place.
T- yea sure. Let's go.

They went to get in Tim's truck. The whole ride to his house was quiet. Both thinking what they could say. Lucy secretly wanted to stay another night at Tim's. Because she felt so save and comfortable. But she didn't want to impose. After they arrived at his house. Tim opened the door. Lucy grabbed her bag.
T- uhm Lucy?
L- yea Tim?
T- I uhm mean you can stay another night if you would like? And before you say it, you are not imposing.
L- oh uhm are you sure?
T- yes it felt good to have you sleep next to me..... because I knew that you were safe of course no other reason.

Lucy was a bit disappointed by his reason.

L- oh okay I would like to stay another night than.

They stood there staring in each others eyes. Both relieved that they didn't have to leave each other, not yet. Tim couldn't keep his eyes from Lucy, but he got himself to snap out of it.
T- uhm I'm going to change in to my pjs.
L- yes uhm me too.
T- you can change in the bedroom while I change in the bathroom. If that's okay.
L- uh yea sure.
Tim went in to the bathroom to change. And Lucy went to change in his bedroom. When Tim was ready he opened the door. Forgetting that Lucy was there changing. His hand still on the door of his en-suite bathroom. Surprised by this view of Lucy without his shirt on. Only in his pants.
T- oh shit I'm sorry.
L- oh no it's okay.
They said staring each other in the eyes again. Tim walked closer to Lucy. They kept the eye contact full of tension. Tim put a strand of hair behind Lucy's ear. Just by that little gesture Lucy went and kissed Tim. He kissed her back full of passion. And he eventually deepens the kiss. Until they both pulled away in shock of what had happened.
L- uhm I'm sorry, oh I'm so embarrassed.
T- no uhm it was my fault. I uhm....
