LUCKY! It sounds like fun!

And I have to look at it now! =)

My day was pretty good, but tiring.

Lucy replied, "Well... maybe if you begged just long enough, I would crack. But for the most part, I'd say I have an iron will, just because I know what I want, and I don't stop until I get it." She went into the apartment and looked around, her face lighting up. Most of her happiness was because she knew this would become their apartment, their home, where she would see him every day, all the time. Sitting down on one of the pieces of furniture, she said to him, "This is way nice than where I live!"

 

[KERFUFFLE]

I definitely enjoyed it

I'm tired, too, actually. It's been a very, very long week if exams and art work.

"I'm kind of hurt that that implies that what you want is to sleep in the bathtub and not with me," Asher said, pretending to look upset. But when he let her in, he smiled, leaning against the doorframe and said to her, "Well, if living here with me is definitely what you want, then welcome home, baby." He then shut the door and came to join her. He looked around and nodded, "It looks good now. But I assure you it didn't when I got here. I've repainted everything, and cleaned everything within an inch of its life. But now it's all done, so all that's left to do is get all the stuff moved in."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

I agree!

After next week, though, my school year will pretty much be a breeze.

Lucy said, "I never said I didn't want to sleep with you, Asher! You're the one who said that it might be a "share too far." But, because you're so hurt, I'll revoke my proposition of sleeping in your tub, I guess. Just don't make me mad, or else!" She grinned and pulled him down next to her, cuddling close. "In all seriousness, though, I'm really glad you asked me to move in with you. I know, other people might think we're rushing things, but I love you, and that's all that matters."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Well, just keep that in mind and then you can just have something to keep you going through next week

Asher wrapped his arms around her, gently pulling her into his lap. He kissed her forehead and said, "I'm glad that you're not worried that it hasn't been a really long time since you and I started going out. I agree that some people will say we're going too fast and we shouldn't even be able to tell what love is at our age, that we're making a mistake. But I don't care about what they think. I want you, that's all, and nothing will ever change that."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Yup! Plus, after that us seniors start doing all of our fun stuff.

Lucy quietly said to him, "I've known what love is, and I've lost love. But... you've made me so much happier than I've been in a long time, and while the love I felt for him was strong, this runs deeper. Maybe it's because you've healed me or something, I don't really know. But I want to be yours, for the rest of my days, even if they turn out to be few in number." She leaned forward and kissed him gently, starting off very slowly. She opened her mouth eventually, her silent search for approval.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Sounds good

I'm just happy that it's a three day weekend for me <3

"Like I said before, I would never try to replace him, and make you forget about him. You just don't deserve to be alone, I want you to feel loved." Lucy would never really comprehend how much it meant to Asher that she was prepared to spend her days with him, and just that she loved him. He had understood perfectly the reasons why it could never have happened, that she could never feel the way he did about her. It was hard to get over the death of someone who meant a lot to you, he knew, though it was a totally different kind of love. But she did love him, and absolutely nothing in the world meant more to him than that fact.

He kissed her back, and opened his mouth when he felt her lips part, giving her the approval she wanted, starting to French kiss her, still fairly slowly, it was more of a loving, tender kiss, than a roughly passionate one.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Lucky! It's just a regular weekend, leading into a week of hell Dx

Lucy continued kissing him for a while longer, just longing to be close to him, safe with him. When she pulled back, she murmured, "I love you, Asher. More than you'll ever know." She stroked the back of his hair for a minute or two, then got up and looked around, trying to see what they should start moving first. "So," she stated, changing the subject to something more lighthearted, "do you have any ideas of what you would like to go on here?"

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Keep smiling It's the last week of it.

"I love you, too," Asher replied softly. He didn't mention that he liked to think that he probably did know to a certain, since he was sure it was about as much as he loved her. He glanced around at the boxes on the floor and said, well, the pile of boxes in the corner is actually for the studio, so if we get those just moved into there first-- we don't have to unpack them just yet, it's just to get them out of the way." He stood up and headed over to the stack of boxes.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Thank goodness! I'm so ready to have the load lifted off my shoulders. xD

Lucy leaned down and picked up one of the boxes that, at initial lift, felt lighter. Not that she didn't trust her own strength, but she'd been through a physical ordeal that day, and she didn't want to exert herself too much more than she already had. Smiling to herself, she took the box to the studio room, humming quietly under her breath.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

I still have another three and a half years of it.. How depressing xD

Asher lifted one of the heavier boxes, though, because it was mostly all just art materials and canvases, none of them were really too heavy at all. Except for the easel box, anyway, which he'd taken to carrying into the studio. There weren't too many of the boxes, either, and he'd unpack them some other time.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

don't worry, at least you know you can rant about it to me, and I'll understand.

Argh, I gotta go. D:

Lucy kept carrying smaller boxes, until all of the art stuff was moved into the studio. "A studio and everything.... wow... I'll model for you sometime," she joked, striking a pose. She added, "I think that's all of the art stuff you had, so now what should we do?"

 

[KERFUFFLE]

But how can I rant to you if you're hard at work in college? ):

Will you be back later?

Asher smilec and said, "Well, you wouldn't want to if I wasn't any good, so you should probably wait until you see anything I've done before you offer yourself up for it." He laughed, giving her a quick peck on the cheek. "I think we're okay to get the living room set up now."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

I was back much later xD

Lucy smiled slightly and said, "Well, okay, I guess I can wait that long. Although I think I'm getting tired of waiting for everything. I had to wait to move in with you, to get you to be my boyfriend, and even meeting you. And now I have to wait until we're done setting up everything." She started opening the living room boxes, to see what they were working with at the time.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

So I see

So you've got the day off, is that right? Nice =D

Asher considered this with a slight smile as he started to look through one of the nearest boxes to him. He then looked up from it, without retrieving anything and said, "Well, I'm very sorry to hear that I've kept you waiting so much. In that case, would you prefer it if I didn't make you wait any longer this time?"

 

[Bunny_grl07]

There was major flooding on some of the roads.

Lucy looked over at him from her spot on the floor, slightly confused. "I don't think I exactly know what you're getting at," she told him, getting up and walking over to him, then plopping down on the floor beside him. She really couldn't grasp what he meant at all.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

So I see. I heard of your plans to enlist the help of Michael Phelps xD

"I mean.. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought when you said that you had to wait for another thing, until after everything's moved in. And I assumed you meant you had to wait to see my art, so I thought I'd show you so you didn't wait. Is that what you meant, or did I miss what you were getting at?" Asher asked her, looking up from his box again at her.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

xD that was my flood day saga.

NOW I'm going to make a first AP exam picture. =)

Lucy said, "I just didn't have a clue what you were trying to say, silly! I didn't really mean anything by what I said, anyway." She got to her feet, taking his hand and pulling him towards his studio. "I'd love to see your artwork now, if you don't mind showing me."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

I'll have to check that out =D

"I know that. I meant about what you said before that, you see," Asher replied. Once she told him that she really did want to see his art now, he stood up and went with her into his studio. He shook a couple of the boxes so that he could tell whether the contents were materials, tools or canvases-- and the duller, heavier sounding ones were the wrapped canvases, that had already been painted. He cut through the brown tape keeping the box together and then took out the first canvas. A large one, also with a frame, one could see once it was unwrapped. He stood back a little from her and held it up, as some art was always better appreciated from a little distance, he felt. "I did this when I was fifteen. It's a copy of Monet's 'Water Lilies'," he told her. Expressionism wasn't really his own style, but he'd always loved Monet's paintings.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

xD

Lucy looked at the picture for a long time, then nodded approvingly. "It's really beautiful!" She exclaimed, beaming up at him. "I wish I had talent like that. But I'll openly admit, I'm not super talented at much of anything. If I could draw half as well as you can, I'd be happy."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

How're the exams going, anyway?

Asher smiled and set the painting down against one of the studio walls. "Thank you," he said. He really was glad that she liked his paintings, as her opinion matter more to him than anyone's. "Tell, me, what kind of art do you like best?"
