The New Girl

chapter 17

Lucy's pov

We walked round the corner to my house chatting and laughing when my house came into view, I noticed Roxy and my brother was outside arguing again, so I stopped where we was and Toni stopped with me she turned to look at me, "what's wrong?" she said with a smile on her face, she still had eve on her shoulders who had managed to fall asleep up there, I chuckled at the picture I was seeing, "don't be alarmed or anything but Roxy's at mine" I said, I saw the panic form in Toni's face I pulled her closer, "it's going to be fine it looks like she's leaving anyway..." I tried to reassure her as I watched Roxy get in her car and drive away, "...see she's gone" I turned her around and pointed in the direction she was going, she turned back round to me and sighed softly.

"come on let's get this one to the house" I said pointing to eve on her shoulders, she chuckled lightly not trying to wake her up, she turned back around and we carried on walking, by the time we got to the house Brett was sat on the steps looking out of the garden, "hey Brett, you okay?" I said as we walked further into the garden, he looked to us with a pissed look expression "not really me and Roxy had an argument, which you probably saw" he said then he noticed our hands and looked to Toni, "it was about you two actually..." he said staring at us both, he stood up and walked slowly to us, "what did she say?" I asked I felt Toni go tense in my hand but I squeezed it lightly reassuring her that everything is going to be okay, "she told me everything that happened at camp and that she is going to tell the whole school about it, she even showed me some stuff" his hands went into balls of fists, "things from your book, she had even got some photos" he carried on, but then her released them, opening his hand he past the something over to Toni, "I made her give them to me, burn them tear them up do what ever with them" he finished.

"and after that i said she wasn't going to do anything and if she did we'd break up, and that was the whole argument" he said putting his arms out to help get eve of Toni's shoulders, "come here I know she's a bit heavy, also well done to getting captain" he said smiling to Toni she turned around helping getting eve of her shoulders, she stirred a bit but didn't wake up, "thank you" I hear her say, he turned around and walked in the house with eve and Suzie followed behind him, we stood there for a few minutes, I turned to her and saw her looking at the what he had given her, I took her hand back in mine, "come with me" I said taking her round the back of the house, I took her to the end of the garden where we had a tree house built, it was covered with comfy old pillows and blankets laid around, I moved some of the toys that was scattered around, and sat on one of the pillows and laid my back up against the wooden wall. I watched as Toni looked around the tree house taking in all the decoration around us, I leaned across the pillows turning on the fairy lights, that was hung around the area I moved back I couldn't take my eyes of her as she looked at the pictures that was pinned up on the wood, she was so mesmerized and I was with her beauty.

She turned to me watching her, she grind with the most beautiful smile, "they are my brothers and sisters drawings and the one over there is mine" I said pointing to each painting and then to the last one which was mine, she turned to it and back to me I put my hand out waiting for her to take it, she took it and I pulled her lightly closer to me, she sat down next to me still holding my hand, "so what did Brett give you?" I asked, she passed the paper to me, i tilted my head to look through the photos seeing each one of me and Toni, somewhere from camp and somewhere from the past few weeks, I looked to Toni "why would she do this, we have to tell someone" I said turning to face Toni, she didn't look at me but spoke, "look, no matter what we do we can't stop her unless its well planned, because if not her mother and father would just go and pay out the principle" she said turning to me, I smiled turning to the side i lifted the piece of loose wood beside me picking up the metal lunchbox and placing the photos inside, "we'll hide them until we need them" i said placing it back in the spot and placing the wood back, i turned back and placed my head on her shoulder we sat like this in comfortable silence.

Our hands were intertwined, the lighting was so romantic with the fairy lights just lighting the small features of her face, "so..." I said trying to break the silence, she turned to me staring into my eyes "so..." she said smiling, moving closer wrapping her arm around my shoulders, pulling me closer into her embrace, I rested my head on her chest closing my eyes and breathing in her perfume I wrapped my arms around her waist squeezing lightly into a hug, I felt her place a kiss on the top of my head. "I have something to talk to you about" after a few minutes of silence I hear her speak up, I pull away and stare at her waiting for her to speak again, "well..." she cleared her throat and she fidgeted in her seat, she looked nervous I placed my hand on her cheek as she looked away from me, "what is it, you can tell me anything" I said pulling her face, in my direction so I could see her eyes, "I erm... wanted to ask erm... if you would erm... go out with me?" she said with her nerves getting to her, I couldn't help but smile, it grew bigger with every word.

"What do you mean?" I asked teasingly, I get up from her so I could see her fully, she drifted her eyes from me to her hands and then back to me, her face went white with nerves, I started to smile with my grin getting bigger, she noticed me smiling and she started to laugh "I'm trying to ask you the secret i gave to eve, which is will you be my girlfriend" she said chuckling with her words, I looked at her smiling I couldn't speak I was so happy in this moment, all I could do was kiss her, our lips connected with such a powerful force, I felt her tongue brush against my lips asking for permission of entrance, I part my lips and our tongues connect, I feel her tongue roam my mouth, i feel her push me down softly with her being on top the kissing got heated quickly, however...

We got interrupted by my brother, "hey you two dinners ready in five" he shouts up to the tree house, we break away, "okay" I say panting for breath, I turn back to Toni seeing her smile, "I take that kiss as a yes then?" she says with a huge smile on her face, I pull her closer to me and whisper "yes" before pulling her into another kiss it was short and sweet, "come on before my dad sends out a search party" I said pushing her lightly away and sitting up, she stands up putting her hand out to help me up, we climb down the tree, and walk into the house hand in hand both smiling like Cheshire cats, my arm was linked around hers holding me close to her body, we walk straight to the dining table, as we can see everyone is waiting for us, I sit next to Suzie and my dad, while Toni sits across from me next to eve and my brother, I notice eve turn to Toni, "so did you do it?" I hear her ask and Toni bends down so only she could hear it, and the next thing we heard was eve scream the house down and Toni siting there with a smile on her face looking at me. I guess it's to do with the secret.
