Chapter Six: Got A Secret, Can We Keep It?

Sorry for such a long wait for this chapter. I was kinda discouraged by the only 3 reviews I got for the previous chapter... Anyway please review this time and enjoy this chapter!

Lucy's POV

I couldn't believe it had really happened; I was currently lying in my bed with Ian. My feelings for him finally came out and I felt relieved. For so many years, I told myself that having feelings for him was wrong, but when it had happened, when I had finally gave in to them, it had felt so right. Nothing had ever felt more right. I didn't have to hide anymore; I could be myself. My head was still placed on his bare chest, listening to his slow and relaxing heartbeats. His arms were wrapped around my back, holding me firmly against his torso. The sun lit up the room and the light was shining through the curtains on the silky sheets which were covering our naked bodies. I let my trace patterns all over his chest as I lifted my head so I could see Ian's beautiful face. I put my hand on his cheek and reached my lips to his, placing a soft kiss on his delicious lips. I broke the kiss as he opened his ocean blue eyes.

"Hey." he said in a still sleepy voice as his fingers started playing with a strand of my hair, then placing it behind my ear.

"Hey." I repeated with a happy tone, smiling at him as I put my hand back on his chest. He sat up in the bed, still looking me in the eyes while I was doing the same, covering my upper body with the sheets.

"Look, last night-" I started to tell him before he cuts me off.

"Last night was the best night I've ever had." he said with a growing smile on his face, taking one of my hands in his. I smiled too, looking down at our hands. "I honestly didn't know that things were going to go so far when I first kissed you and..." he continued to say, "I have to ask you a question."

"Yeah, anything" I replied, looking at him.

"Do you, do you regret it... What happened last night?" he asked me, and I could tell he was a little afraid of what my answer would be. It took me a little time to answer him.

"No Ian; I-I don't regret it, at all, but..." I looked down at our hands once more, took a deep breath and gazed back up at him "After what happened with Adam I'm not sure I am ready to be in yet another relationship with someone, especially if this someone is you. I mean you're my cast mate and obviously it's going change things between us and I don't really know how much. Everybody is going to be asking questions and... I just don't know if I'm ready for it."

"I understand, I do and I know that we can get through all of this. You know I would never hurt you in any possible way the way Adam did, and you know I will help you to forget what has happened. About all the questions and the people, we don't have to tell them about us or what happened between you and Adam, it can and will stay private if that's what you want. You deserve the best of everything and I want it for you. You deserve to be happy and if it's not with me, then that's okay, I won't hold you back. I just want you to be happy. That's all that matters to me." he said sincerely. He made me smile for a few seconds before I spoke up again.

"You're right. I know you won't hurt me, and you've already helped me to get over Adam. But do you really think a secret relationship could work? I mean, people are going to notice something has changed, especially our other cast mates. We can't hide these kinds of feelings."
