Sapphire Angel / Lucas Wong (Wong Yukhei)

Part 7- Stand By Me

~ Chinese dialogue labeled *C* ~

**********

He must have woken up before me, I felt a sensation on my back and was initially startled, but when realizing it was his hands gracing my skin, I found myself smiling as my eyes eased open. Our eyes met and locked for a moment.

He whispered "Good morning" to me with a grin on his face.

"Hi." I smiled.

"I would give all of my money to wake up and see you every morning."

With his hand brushing down my cheek, and his voice filling my ears, I felt my heart flutter and I closed my eyes momentarily at the sensation.

"I'm really sorry things went as fast as they did ... I just ..." He sighed.

"You have put a spell on me." He teased and shook his head.

I giggled and I felt my cheeks grow hot.

"Don't worry. It should wear off soon." I tried to flirt.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door.

*C* "Just a sec." He called to Johnny and tried to pull the covers over us.

But Johnny must have not heard and quickly had the door open, his eyes widening when seeing us lying together.

"Well then ..." He said in shock, his gaze lingering a few moments too long.

"You guys hungry? Probably. Breakfast is ready." He chuckled and left, forgetting to close the door.

Lucas quickly got up to close it and began to get himself dressed. Afterwards he helped me to my feet and assisted me in putting my own clothes on.

I found myself zoning out for a while, wondering what I did to deserve such royal treatment from such a magnificent man. He then brought me to the kitchen and we all ate together.

I loved that they had their meals together the majority of the time. I could tell they were close friends, like family. I was envious of them. I had never got to experience that with anyone but my parents. I never had anyone that was there for me or that I could even call a friend.

I felt my mind begin to spiral, so I quickly tried to remedy it.

"So ... where's all the stuff you guys are delivering?" I asked them about halfway through our concoction of leftovers.

There had been an odd silence before I spoke, and I couldn't help but wonder if it had to do with our commotion from the night before.

"At the bottom of the ship. The lowest level." Johnny told me.

"Is it ... a lot of stuff?"

He nodded before taking a drink from his glass.

"How much money do you make?"

"Wow, someone's full of questions today." He pestered me.

I saw a smirk emerge on his lips, his eyes narrowing as he slyly continued,

"Hey, I got a question for ya'."

Lucas shot him a look, sensing his tone and knowing the type of question he was going to ask, and it was referring to last night. Johnny just laughed and resumed eating, saying nothing. My face was stained red, and I tried to conceal it with my hair.

We were all slightly startled when the sound of a vibration rang out from under the table.

Johnny's eyes went to his lap, and he retrieved his phone from the pocket of his dark jeans.
