Smile For Me || Connor Ball

Chapter 6; moving

I woke up with Con's arms wrapped around me and we were on the sofa so I guess we'd both fell asleep, I checked my phone to see it was 3 am. Ugh. I put my phone on the floor and just snuggled back in and tried to get back to sleep but failed miserably. It was now 5:30 am and I'd been awake for 2 and a half hours so I squirmed my way free and went in to the kitchen to make coffee and start packing since I was moving in with Connor for a week today.

By the time I'd packed everything I needed, and maybe a bit more, it was 8 am. How on earth had I been packing for 2 and a half hours?! I let it slip my mind and went down stairs to see a panicky Con.

"Jesus Christ Lucy I was worried sick! it's not like you to be up this early!"

"I could say the same about you! But don't worry I've been up since 3... At half 5 I went to pack my stuff for yours and now it's 8 and I'm done so I'm going to lie down if you don't mind!"

He sighed in relief as he opened his arms and embraced me in a tight hug and laid down at the side of me. We were laid on the sofa and Connor was playing with my hair which was really relaxing but I just couldn't sleep, I don't know why I just couldn't. My eyes were closed and I was barely moving so Con probably thought I was sleeping so I just listened to the sound of his breathing, weird I know, until his phone rang.

"Hello... I'm at Lucy's... But she's sleeping... No she's staying at mine for the week... My parents are going away... Sorry brad I want to spend the week off with Luce... Oh piss off... Bradley don't make me come over there and hurt you... Ha okay then... Bye... No I'm not saying I love you... Brad no... Fine, I love you bye"

I started laughing to which I regret as Con now knew i was awake.

"Please don't tell me you've been awake all this time" he face palmed him self whilst doing so

"Maybeeee..." Prolonging my word which made him laugh

"Bye brad I loveeeee you" I teased resulting in Connor tickling me. Oh no. He found my weakness. Well one of them.

"Con... STOP... I can't... Breathe" I managed to get out, still struggling for breath he got off me and skipped in to the kitchen singing

"I love bradley more than I love Lucy"

Okay two can play at that one Ball. I got up and skipped him after him singing

"I love Jems more than I love Condoraaaa" to which Tash walked in and started singing

"I love Love Lucy more than I love jamesy" she winked at me and I knew what that signalled. Game on. Two against one as James was still in bed.

"Come on then Ball, show us what you got" Tash giggled, I didn't really know what was going on until Connor ran at me and put me over his shoulder carrying me upstairs.

"Connor put me down now! Connor! Now!" and as we reached my bedroom he did, this was the time I regretted having locks put on all the doors.

"Tash help!" I screeched but playfully as I knew Con wouldn't hurt me, okay maybe tickle me, but that's all.

He locked the door and slammed me against it and before he or I could say anything he crashed his lips on to mine. The kiss was different to any other, it was seriously heated, but I decided to get my revenge for him tickling me.

I tugged at the bottom of his shirt and pulled it off, placing my lips back on his I heard a bang. Damn, just when I was planning to get my revenge, I remembered James has a key for each door, barging in he looked a shirtless Con up and down and then to me.

"Luce, word, now" I did as he instructed and followed him out of my room.

"Well, would you care to explain what was going to happen if I hadn't walked in?" he was whisper shouting at me which made me laugh in his face.

"Lucy it's not fucking funny"

"Shhhh! It is, now keep quiet and listen. Down stairs Con tickled me literally nearly to death and I'm trying to get revenge. I was planning on getting him down to his boxers and then grabbing his clothes and running, but no, you had to ruin it" I folded my arms and pouted and James just laughed.

"Well it sounds like he's gone in the shower and if I know Con half as well as I think I do then he will have forgot to lock the door" he winked at me and I grabbed his hand pulling him quietly in to my room. He was right, door unlocked, I picked up all his clothes, including his pants and removed all towels in the bath room, hid them and got Tash in my room as we sat and waited for him to finish in the shower.

"LUCY IM GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU! BRING ME MY FUCKING CLOTHES NOW OR ELSE!" Connor screamed and I burst out laughing and walked into the bathroom.

"Aw, paybacks a bitch hey?" I tried to keep as serious as I could but it was difficult.

"Lucy I'm being serious, if you don't fetch me my clothes and a towel I'm getting out of the shower and giving you a biiiiiig hug" he could tell he was smirking at him self.

"Oh my god please don't, my eyes! They'll burn!" I teased.

"Wow, harsh. Clothes now, we're even"

I sighed and threw him a towel and this clothes including a fresh pair of James' boxers and shut the door behind me. Turning back into my room to realise James and Tash were having a make out session, in my room, on my bed.

"PDA CHILDREN" Tash blushed and ran out.

"You ruin everything Luce" James hit me on the arm.

"James?"

"What's up?"

"I'm stopping at Con's all this week, and I don't know why but I'm nervous, I've known this guy for years and I've never been nervous about stopping at his house before" James pulled me in to a hug and smiled at me

"Don't worry, you're nervous because it's just you two and you're a couple now. You know it was the same with me and tash! And until it came to us having the house together alone I'd never realised how nervous I was around her, but we were together and I just forgot about it all. You'll be fine I promise you! Just stay safe yeah?" he ended with a wink and I hit his arm, James kissed my forehead and left me in my room before Connor emerged out of the bathroom looking slightly pissed.

"What was James saying to you?"

"Not a lot really, just being a friend, why?" why was he all of a sudden being really protective?

"Oh okay, sorry" I knew what for but asked why anyway.

"What for?"

"I sounded like an overprotective dick" yes, yes you did.

"Don't worry about!' I kissed him and took my bag down stairs, I was still slightly confused as to why he was like he was but I needed to get over it as I was going to be with him literally 24/7 for a week.

Connor's p.o.v

************************************

Now that Lucy's little joke was over I got dried and dressed in the bathroom when I heard her talking to James. I couldn't pick up the full conversation but from what i heard James sounded like he was trying to comfort Luce. But that was my job.

"What was james saying to you?" wow I sounded really pissed off.

"Not a lot really, just being a friend, why?" Because I'm scared shitless I'm going to lose you to my best friend. Shut up Connor, he's got a girlfriend and Lucy has no interest in James that way, they're best friends they would never go out.

"Oh okay, sorry" I was sorry, sorry for snapping.

"What for?" for being a shit boyfriend.

"I sounded like an overprotective dick"

"Don't worry about it!" there's the smile that makes my day. Luce kissed me and took her bags down stairs. I think this will be good for us.
