Smile For Me || Connor Ball

Chapter 13; she needs you

Lucy's p.o.v

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

So today is the day I move back home, I guess I'm really upset to be leaving Con but I've missed James so much.

"Babe you ready to go?" Con yelled up and I got butterflies at the fact he was calling me babe, I don't know how he does it but damn this boy affected me so much, even his simplist of kisses made my stomach errupt in butterflies, he honestly has me right where he wants me and the best part is he doesn't even have to try.

"Yeah I'm coming" I grabbed my bags and ran downstairs, I placed them on the floor then looked up at Connor who was frowning at me.

"What's up?" I asked and stepped closer to him. He grabbed my waist with one hand and the back of my neck with the other and pulled me towards him smashing his lips on mine, I let my hands roam free starting at the bottom of his shirt and they eventually found their way into his hair. After minutes we both pulled away breathlessly

"I'm going to miss you" he mumbled into my neck

"I'll miss you too, but I'll probably see you everyday anyway" I replied and kissed his shoulder then went over to my bags.

"Lucy what if we moved in together? I know it sounds soon but it's obvious that James and Tash want to live together, I don't know it's just a suggestion" my heart melted, I couldn't leave James I needed him. James was the only thing that kept me strong what if I break? Connor can't fix me like James can, he doesn't get it, he doesn't get me, no one doesn't except James.

"I don't know, I mean I'd love to, but give it time?" I couldn't exactly say no could I.

"It's alright I know what you mean, you also think out loud a lot.." He trailed off, shit.

"What exactly did you hear?" I bit my lip to avoid the tears that were threatening to spill.

"All of it, I think. You'll not break Luce and even if you do I'm here, and if I can't 'fix' you James is a phone call away. I love you and I think this would be good for us, but I don't want to rush you in to anything babe. I do get it, and I do get you, you may think I don't but I do" he took my hand and I looked him in the eyes

"Why are you with me?"

"Why aren't I with you is a better question. You're amazing, you're perfect, I couldn't ask for anyone else. It's always been you Lucy, always, even when I first started to notice you were down, before we were even together, I wrote a song about you, it's actually going to be on the album, only difference is it'll be Brad singing and not me" he sighed, he actually wrote a song about me?

"Can I hear it please?" I choked on my own words still trying to contain my tears. Con smiled at me and walked over to his guitar then returned and tuned his guitar and started to strum..

Kick up a fuss

You know you're gonna my dear

Smile for me girl

Don't you shed a tear

Give me all back

Cut me a bit of slack

Tell me you're never gonna leave me at all

I'm on the other side with the greener grass

My girl?

So won't you smile for me

And I'll take your picture

Make it last a lifetime

Replay it in my eyes

Smile for me
