Lucas pov:

The news played on the TV as I stood in the kitchen scrolling threw my phone fidind pointless videos on the internet that gets stupider and stupider as the day pass the small sound of the air conditioner going as the tv drowned it out from the Texas heat

The white tshirt I wore clung to my muscular chest the belt I wore that once belonged to papi when he was younger the horse buckle pulled the faded jeans and worn out boots together his hair hung in my face a little as I looked up at the tv after hearing about Oklahoma and the tornado that went threw

Oklahoma being my hometown I turned the tv up as Florence walked threw the house door her yellow and black jacket hung at her wait as her skinny jeans clung to her skin as she loved skinny jeans her shirt leaving just a gap of her skin and her high top pulling the rest of her look together her bloude hair rested on her shoulders as she walked it bounced with her movements....

My blue eyes had looked at her as I crossed my arms and leaned against the counter as she stood infront of me

"Another one hit"  my deep and raspy voice as she opened the fridge and popped open a beer how I fell for this women was something everyone questioned...

She had looked at me as she took a deep breath before her small Russian voice had spoken

"That's the 3rd one in a week at this rate the whole damn states a shit storm"

My phone had rung as she had finished speaking I had picked up my phone and answered as a familiar voices came into mind..

"Hey little brother"

"Hey Tyler what's up?"

"Well I need a favor"

"Hunt down tornados and ask for a death wish?"

"Something like that"

I had taken a deep breath as the memories of the last tornado flew threw my mind the high winds the damage the horror it caused

"Alright I'm on my way"

I could hear the screams the cheering on the otherside as Tyler smacked his red truck in happiness as he hung up after saying his shit bye

I had placed my phone on the counter and looked at Florence as she placed her hand on my shoulder for comfort she's never been one for physical touch she's always enjoyed her personal space

"You sure about this?"

"He's my brother and I'm the only one known to live threw the highest tornado in once peice"

She had nodded at me as we made our eay upstairs to pack our shit and help my brother chase down tornados probably the worst mistake I'll make....

My blue forward truck rode against the highway road my truck was layed out like Tyler's just blue me and Tyler and his crew all did tornado hunting until a E5 struck where I used to stay after that I left and moved to Texas Tyler used to call everyday until he stopped....

I had pulled into the small gas station as I saw Tyler and his red truck I could tell him from a Mile away the way he would rest his hands on hips always had me questioning him

I could my tense up on the steering wheel as I looked at him my truck catching the eyes if everyone around us I had opened the door and stepped out closing the door behind me as a smile appeared on both mine and Florence's faces

"Someone call for back up?"

I had walked over to Tyler as she smiled at me ans walked as we stopped 5 inches from the other before I could think my brother had pulled in for a hug as he spoke...

"It's good to see you Lucas"

"Good to see you to Tyler"

I could hear the other crew talk in the small distance as a skinny blonde chick had asked who I was and the man answered her with the old saying I used to go by

"Lucas owens Tyler's younger brother aka the tornado catcher"

A few minutes had went by Florence stuck eith the rest of the crew as I spoke to Tyler as I looked up in the sky to see that west had a lighter going east was a beast you could tell from the darkness as I went to talk to Tyler he had disappeared to talk to Kate the expression on my face spoke my words for as my eyes brows went down and I threw my hands in the air as I turned around and started walking back to my truck as Florence had touched my shoulder...

"We should be careful about tornados Lucas"

I could see the concern in her eyes as I placed my hand on her cheek and gently rubbed my thumb against her cheek I rested my other hand on her waist as she placed both of her slim fingers on my waist our eyes spoke out words for us....

"I know Florence I don't much like the idea myself but he's my brother and I can't let him down"

"Lucas when are you going to stop living for him and live for yourself?"

"The day I fell in love with you was the day I lived for myself"

I had placed my forhead against hers as she closed her eyes for a second and looked at me with the look I always gave into the pleading yet brave look...

I had leaned in and kissed her soft pink delicate lips fireworks shot from my heart as I kissed her her lips had kissed mine back as it was rare for us to share a moment like this cause we both enjoy our personal space but we had to make this moment last while we could

A few moments later everyone started rouding up and heading out my eyes landed on my brother as he nodded at me and nodded back once I had gotten in the truck I had used the radio to talk to the others...

"Alright ladies and gentlemen were going west take note ladies and buckle up were in for a ride"

I could already hear the screams and excitement from them as it was just something I knew Florence had kept track of the roads and the Directions I had started the truck up and pulled out of the gas station and took off up the road.....
