Chapter 3: He's sweet

Peter looked at the clock again to see the time was seven thirty which made him sigh in annoyance.

“She should have been home by now.”

He thought to himself as he glanced at the T.V before looking back to the front door. She had texted him telling him she’s be late back because something came up at work, but said she wouldn’t be too long.

“Too long my ass, Cupcake.” He said to himself ready to text her again when the front door open bringing Lucy in, Peter quickly looked at her before getting up to greet her.

“Hey, bout time yo- what’s up with your face.” He strained looking at her goofy expression before she gave her head a quick shake avoiding his eyes. “Oh it’s nothing…just something funny Mona said at work.” She spoke absently as she made her way around him heading towards her bedroom, Peter knew her head was somewhere else.

“What was it?”

Lucy turned around looking confused at his reply. “What was what?”

Peter gave her the “what's going on look” as he spoke once more.

“What did Mona say that was so funny?” He said turning towards her fully with his arms crossed over his chest in his intimidating well cut  6ft 5 stature.

Lucy knew it wouldn’t take long before he starting asking more question, she had to come up with something quick. “Oh…you know just…. Girl stuff.” She said quickly turning away from him as she began walking towards her room.

“I’ll be out in a bit, get the take out menu’s ready I’m just gonna get changed.”

She let out the breath she was holding as she closed her bedroom door before her smile began to creep back along with her glowing cheeks as she gave another quick glance to her door.

Today had turned out to be very…eventful.

As she would like to put  it thinking about her encounter with Bob's son, Mike.

After saving her from that fall in the coffee shop which brought Mona back inside, cigarette still in her mouth. Lucy gave out a laugh thinking about it as she let her hair down from it’s messy confinement.

Flashback to earlier~

Lucy was still in his arms stuck in his gaze and rugged appearance, when she heard a crash from the back which revealed a out of breath Mona with her cigarette still in her mouth not brothering to put it out.

“Geez Luce…..you nearly gave me a heart attack, I thought – who are you?” Mona spoke looking at the guy holding Lucy in what looked like a lovers embrace.

Mike slowly brought Lucy back up to help steady her. “You ok there….nothing broken I hope.” He spoke with a small smirk appearing in the corner of his mouth making Lucy as red as a balloon as she gave out a nervous laugh.

“No….I’m fine…thank you...for that.” Lucy said finally looking at him to find him staring right back at her with that beautiful smile as Bob spoke up.

“Girls….this is Mike my son, he’s staying for a couple of months. Mike this is Mona and you’ve just met Lucy.”

He spoke watching his son interaction with Lucy before Mike turned to Mona to give her a friendly wave when he turned his gaze back to Lucy.
