Two Halves Of a Whole (Enoch O'Connor)

Chapter 3

At the moment I was downstairs with Enoch. We were making our homunculus' fight. Mine was dodging his as his threw his arms at mine. Quickly mine grabbed the heart of his and ripped it out and his stopped moving. I grinned at him and he frowned. "I really thought mine was going to win this time!" He exclaimed. I chuckled quietly, then looked at the time on his clock. 8:00 it read. " Well," I yawned and continued, "I best be off to bed before the bird gets mad." "Oh, yeah I lost track of time." I smile and give a slight wave before turning around and leaving.

3rd Person POV

The girl walked away unbeknownst of the boy smiling at her back. Even after she left he sat there staring at the place she had previously been by the door. He thought about her and everything they did that day. And the day before. And the day before that. Before he knew it he had found himself thinking about every little thing she did and everything about her. Her smile or the way her mouth twitched when she was trying not to smile. The way she absentmindedly twirled her hair while reading a book. The way her nose twitched and her eyes got wide when she was nervous or lying. 

The girl thinking about him and how he made her feel complete. He could make her smile, even in the darkest of times. She admired the way his smile could light up a whole room. If only he smiled more often. She admired everything about the boy. His smile. How his eyes shine when he is excited. How he sets his mouth in a thin line with his tongue sticking out when he is concentrating. How nervous he seemed to get when she got really close to him. She smiled at the thought. 

Lucy's POV

I was trying to sleep but found I couldn't and suddenly I started thinking about my life back in 2015. My father.. He told my aunt, he would check in with her to make sure I didn't run away. He is going to get so mad, if i ever went back what would he do... My aunt... is she worried about where I am or if I'm safe. Does she even notice that I'm gone. People usually don't, I'm just a pest. I had no friends back at home, I had no family that loved me. I was an outcast just another thing. I got treated like crap, I was pushed around and told that I was worthless my whole life. I  felt something wet on my cheek, which brought me out of my thoughts. One tear came after another and wouldn't stop, I then started to feel sobs rise to my chest. I didn't want to cry, I hated crying it made me feel weak. But this time I couldn't stop myself, I needed to get it out of my system. I heard a creak and looked towards my door as I wiped my face and tried to stop crying.  A head peaked in the room, notifying me that the person was Enoch. Oh god, he cant see me like this. I laid down and turned towards the wall so he could't see my face. "Lucy, are you okay. I heard crying so I came to check in on you." he said worry evident in his voice. "Yeah, I'm fine." I mutter, but my voice sounded strained. "I know  you're not, what happened?" he asks, walking up to my bed and cautiously sitting on the edge of it. I turn around and stare at him, I wonder how his li- no he would never like me like that I can't believe I just thought that. "Nothing, I just had a nightmare." he gives me a look that says he know I'm lying. "Okay, fine. I was thinking about home." I spit out looking away embarrassed. "Do you miss it?" he asks. "No its just," I recollect my thoughts before continuing, "I didn't have a good life there y'know, so this is kinda like a dream." "What do you mean 'you didn't have a good life'." I face him so I can see if he's being serious, he is. "Well my father he was not a very nice man and my mom had passed awa-" he interrupted. " What do you mean by not a very nice man?" he asks clenching his jaw as he already knew the answer. "H-he um he hurt me." I said in a small voice. "I'm going to kill him." he was furious."So my aunt brought me to live with her in Cairnholm, which is how I'm here right now." I said with a small smile. He was staring at me. "W-what?" I stutter and he just hugs me. "I'm glad you're here." he whispers in my ear. "Me too." I hug him as tight as I can, I don't want to let go. Enoch breaks the hug and looks into my eyes, stare back into his. He slowly starts to lean in, as do I. Crash Kaboom, the loop is resetting and I jump back startled causing me to bang foreheads with Enoch. Ow. "I'm sorry, that was my fault." I say, my cheeks heating in embarrassment. "It's okay." he says while chuckling. I smile up at him and he smiles back looking down at my lips. 

Enoch's POV

We were about to kiss, when a the loop reset causing her to jump and bang her forehead against mine. That hurt a bit but I just want to kiss her. I really hate the resetting of the time loop sometimes. "I'm sorry, that was my fault." she says as her cheeks get red. She looks so cute. "It's okay." I say chuckling. I smile looking down at her, as she smiles up at me. I cant help but look at her lips, wanting so bad to kiss her. So I do. I bend me neck down a little and place my lips on hers. It was the best feeling I have ever felt. Her soft lips moved slowly with mine, as I grabbed her waist. Her hands moved up to my hair making me moan quietly against her lips. I slowly pulled away staring at her. She smiled and pecked my lips with hers. I smiled at her. I think I like her a lot. I want to ask her out.Okay here it goes. "I really like you." I said and waited for her to respond. She smiled "I really like you too." she said softly. "W-would you like to be my girlfriend." I stutter, turning red. "I would love to be your girlfriend Enoch." Yes! This is the best thing that has ever happened to me, she is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I smile the biggest smile that I ever have.

Lucy's POV

He asked me out! And I said yes! He sat there with the biggest smile I have ever seen on his face. I am the luckiest girl in the world. I smile. He is the best thing that could have ever happened to me. I hook my arm around the back of his neck and pull his lips to mine. They were so soft. I could feel him smile in the kiss causing me to smile. I broke it off and just looked at him, admiring him. I think I love him. I snuggled into him and laid my head on his chest, forgetting about the world.  I could feel his breath on the top of my head and smiled. This is the best day in the world. I slowly drifted off to sleep thinking about him.
