Serge & Lucia |EasilyAmused & ICanBeAnyone|

Lu slowly awakened her head spinning with the strange dreams of the night before. Her day had blended into a strange combination of things in her exhausted brain. She slipped out of bed moving slowly. She felt as if she had been beaten with a sock full of rocks. She stretched and yawned hearing Serge’s voice from the living room. She stepped into the door way leaning lightly against the doorframe as she watched him with breakfast.

“Morning.” She said groggily before pushing away from the doorway propelling herself into the living room. She accepted a plate from him before sitting down curling her legs under her. “Do you cook like this all the time?” She asked before taking a bite. She exhaled on a sigh her eyes rolling a little.

“This is amazing” she told him. “I am going to get spoiled if you keep this up.”

Serge & Lucia |EasilyAmused & ICanBeAnyone|

Lu heard him call out a thank you and grinned. She was glad to be of help. She genuinely liked being around Serge, he had a very calming presence, not just because she knew he carried a gun and could handle any rough situation, but because he was genuinely a calm person. "No problem. Sometimes it just takes someone outside the situation to see things clearly.

She walked out of the kitchen as he rose and stretched. "Yup! I can normally sleep through anything, so don't worry about moving around or anything. I promise if I am really asleep I will not wake up."

While he was in the bathroom she headed to the living room and started picking up her stuff to get it out of his way. She turned her head towards the bathroom door as it opened. She drew a sharp breath in through her nose as he walked out in nothing but a towel. She was right, he was a very good looking, very well sculpted man. She quickly turned her head away as he grabbed his bag. She wanted to keep watching, but didn't want to get caught staring. She relaxed once he was back in the bathroom exhaling slowly. "Damn Lu... it is NOT appropriate to drool over the body guard. This is not a lifetime movie." She muttered to herself.

She finished picking up as he returned, this time dressed. When he asked what time wake up was she glanced at her watch. It was now well after midnight. She chewed her lip thinking about it. If she was sticking to her regular schedule, she would run after she got out of work, which would be about 8, and then head off to school before taking a nap. But since she was going to take a mental health day tomorrow she could change that up.

"That is an excellent question. I normally would run at 8 or 9 after a double. Any other day I would probably get up at 5 and run at 6, but tomorrow... Let's be totally crazy and sleep until 7." She said with a grin. "We can hit the gym, or even go for a run on the beach. After that, I have absolutely nothing planned. I am totally taking a mental health day. Today was a little much for even my notoriously adaptable self." She grinned and shrugged. "I mean Yay! family, but I got a father, a body guard, and a dress all in the same day, and believe it or not, the dress part is probably the most difficult part." She teased.

Lu was good at the self depricating humor, it was her stock in trade. "Anyway... I should let you get some rest." she said scooping up her project bag and heading towards her room. "I might read for a while, let me know if the light is keeping you up." She said. "My ex used to complain that the light kept him from sleeping." She shook her head and made a face. "The man could sleep in broad daylight while watching NASCAR at full volume, but my tiny reading light would keep him up."

She opened her bedroom door and nestled her project bag down against the door to make sure it stayed open and didn't drift closed through the night.

Aliyah noticed Duncan's mild discomfort out of the corner of her eye. She knew her touch calmed him, as often as not, but she did notice that her holding him was still hard, so she tugged him gently behind her. She leaned back against his chest letting him be in control of the embrace as she spoke with Kassandra.

She laughed a little as she told the story of how they met, and how she played lets make a deal over date night. "Duncan and I do alright." She said with a smile. "I am sure at some point we will disagree, but for the most part we see eye to eye on most things, well except he delights in making my poor frugal heart skip a beat or three." She teased leaning back into Duncan a little.

"I can see why he was so sought after though. He really is an amazing person." She said tilting her head back to give him a smile. Her fingertips running lightly over his arms soothingly as they chatted.

@Mitheral Sorry it took so long to get a post up. Got back from Houston, had to move and been working a 60 hour week on top of it. Just got home and had a chance to sit down infront of a keyboard.

Aliyah loved spending time with Duncan, and they seemed to fit together like a well oiled machine. They worked side by side planning things, ok so he planned and she agreed or suggested small changes to the plans. She noticed Marcia paying extra attention to her, especially when she was with Duncan, but she just put it off to Marcia wondering what this girl was doing here.

Aliyah was thrilled at the idea of seeing pieces of Duncan's past. She was practically vibrating with excitement as they approached the school. She listened to him talk about the things he did, and the ball games he played. She slipped her hand in his as they walked down the now empty halls towards the class room where she would meet his favorite teacher.

He led her through the door and she did a double take. She knew of Kassandra Soleil, anyone who read more than a book a year did. She looked at Kassandra, and then again at Duncan then back to Kassandra before clearing her throat and managing to squeak out a greeting.

Her hand tightened in Duncans for just a moment before she extended it to Ms. Soliel. "It is truly a pleasure to meet you." She said, not moving far from Duncan's side.
