Primrose

Chapter 35

Lucy's P.O.V

I sat there flustered as I tried to figure out what to say to Shu. I wanted him to know how I felt about him but it had been so hard. I looked away from him in embarrassment.

"You what?"

"I..."

"You haven't been this nervous since Hoshi Araki. Do you love me or something?" I felt my whole entire face heat up.

"I...I-"

Shu's P.O.V

Shuiji began to cry making her go to check on him. I sat there as I began to think about what she wanted to tell me. Why was it so embarrassing for her to tell me?  Emi and Sayuri ran into my room with a book.

Lucy entered with Shuiji in her arms and smiled at me. "They wanted to see you." The girls sat on each side of me. Lucy began to rub Shuiji's back as he started to fall asleep again. She sat next to me on the couch. I arched a brow.  Making her chuckle. "They want you to read them a story."

"Shouldn't we do that in their room?"

"We could but they want you to read to them now. Sayuri and Emi, don't you want papa to read to you now?" The two nodded. I sighed to myself. I guess I couldn't say no to them. I took the books from both of the girls and started to read. Before I could even finish the second story the twins had fallen asleep. I couldn't help but smile a little at the sight. I soon found myself staring at Lucy as she tried to figure out how to move without waking up Sayuri, who had been on laying on her lap.

"I got it." I said before I picked up Sayuri and Emi before bringing them to their room and laying them down. I heard Lucy walk down the hall and into the nursery next door. I looked at the twins before wishing them a goodnight and closing their door. As soon as I left their room I had seen Lucy closing Shuiji's door. She looked at me with a blush before she looked away from me.

"You know your father would hate for me to be near you?" I smirked before I turned her face to look at me. Making her face heat up even more.

"So what, you love me right?"

"I...I..." I liked it when she was like this. When she acted like this, it intrigued me even more.

"You what?"

"I...love you." She said before she looked away from me. That look that she had, had been like the look she gave me in the Andromeda. She was about to walk away when I grabbed her hand.

"Lucy"

"You never listen don't you?" We looked down the hall to see the man that I had no choice but to call my father.
