LUCILLE'S POV
Ouch! What the f, why does my head hurt so bad. I slowly opened my eyes and thought I got kidnapped for a second before looking around properly and realized I was in the hospital. Wait what happened? Oh shit, did I collapse? Wait who brought me here? I saw the door open slightly and pretended to still be asleep. I heard footsteps approaching then a hand on my forehead and on my neck. I didn't know who it was but the persons hand was so cold. "Hello mom", I heard the person say. The voice sounded so familiar, oh gosh it's Romeo. "We're still at the hospital, she's still not conscious", he said and I could tell he was so exhausted. "I'll call her mom so they come pick her up when she's conscious, I don't want her to wake up and see only me here she might feel sad", he said sitting on the bed I was on. I can't make him call my mom, I just have to open my eyes. "Goodbye mom, see you soon. Love you", he said and ended the call. The place fell silent and that was my opportunity to wake up, I opened my eyes slowly with my hands on my forehead. "You're up! how are you feeling?", he said and I could tell how excited he was. "I'm okay, how about you?", I asked trying to sit. He helped me sit up and placed his hand on my forehead again, "you scared me partner, I was so scared", he said laughing. I laughed as well and told him it wouldn't happen again. He went to get the doctor and after some checkups I was discharged. "I'm so sorry your mom isn't here, I've been trying to call her but it's not going through", he said helping me with the seatbelt. "You're enough and also my mom isn't around, I'm home alone. My dad is on a business meeting in Japan, my mom went to check on a business too in South Africa", I said looking outside the car. He didn't say anything and I kinda felt embarrassed. Did I share too much?
ROMEO'S POV
Am I being rude? I don't know exactly what to say, so it's best I stay mute right? Lemme just get her an ice cream, I'm sure she'd feel a little better. "What flavor of ice cream do you like best?", I asked and for the first time she looked at me straight into my eyes, she looked excited. Her eyes seemed unreal, her eyes were undeniably the prettiest eyes I have ever seen. I would've kissed it if I wasn't driving, I laughed at my own thoughts and she looked away. "Why are you laughing?", she asked with slight irritation in her voice. "Nothing, just a thought I had about your eyes", I said and realized how stupid my answer was. "Stop the car", she said undertone and I pretended not to hear it. "Stop the car!", she said and I could see sadness written on her face. I stopped the car and leaned closer to her.
"Hey what's wrong?", I asked trying to hold her hands but she pulled away. "The first time I look you in the eye Romeo, the first time I do and you mock me?", she said crying. I felt terrible, "I wasn't mocking you Lucille, I just had this crazy thought about your eyes and laughed", I responded trying to calm her down. "What thought Romeo?", she asked. "I.. I wanted t.. to kiss it, it looks so pretty", I said and hugged her. She hugged me back and began laughing, I joined her and we stayed like that for sometime. We got to her house and I escorted her to the gate, "they love you Lucille, your parents", I said before she entered. She looked at me and smiled, waved and left. On my way home I couldn't stop thinking about her, she made me so happy. She is a very nice person.
Lucille and I left school to my place immediately we closed, I noticed she was kind of in a hurry. "Why do you seem to be in a hurry?", I asked and she smiled. "I was thinking we could go get that ice cream if we finished early", she said still working. I laughed and helped her with what she was doing. She actually doesn't like chocolate flavored ice cream, her favorite was strawberry. When we were done with the ice cream I went to the washroom, on my way back I overheard her on the phone with her mom. "You told me you'd be coming today mom, I'm tired of leaving in that big house alone. I'm always scared", she said and I couldn't help but feel sad for her. "I'd rather sleep in a hotel than go back there tonight mom. Goodbye", she said and turned to see me there. "My mom is a friend of your mom, I think she'd be okay if you spent the night at ours", I said and she looked surprised. "No no, I don't want to intrude", she answered. "I insist, I can't let you spend the night in a hotel Lucille", I said and she smiled. "Thanks partner", she said and hugged me. I hugged her back and we made our way home.
