Ike opened the door and in went the boys. Ike had some thinking to do so he went up to his room, which for some reason seemed strange to Taylor and Zac. But they just shrugged it off.
"What am I thinking? I mean would she like me? I dunno. Maybe I should just talk to her. I can't to talk to Tay or Zac I mean they both probably have the same feelings. Except I think Zac is outta the picture. But what about Tay? Does he like her? I can't believe I like her already I just met her eariler today!" As Ike pondered these thoughts. He heard a knock at his door as it opened.
"Hey Ike what's up?" Taylor asked as he laid down onto the floor.
"Hey Taylor. Nothing just got some things on my mind." Taylor wasn't convinced
"What? You can't tell me? Car? Music? MTV? Friends? Lucy?" Ike looked up instantly.
"Ah ha. I knew it. SO you like her too? I thought you did." Taylor said smiling.
"Yea I thought you did too. That's why I wasn't going to say anything."
"Look Ike if you want to go for it. Cuz I like Lucy but you know For some reason I don't wanna disappoint my fans. Anyways, I'm ready but I know you are. Ike go for it. I love ya bro but go for IT!" Taylor said very convincingly
"You think so?" Ike said questionably
"YES" Ike walked over and gave Tay a hug. "Thanks man I'll go over and talk to her now. I just met her I can't believe I am doing this."
"Did I do the right thing? I hope so. I mean they belong together. Well I have plenty opportunities later." Taylor thought to himself.
Lucy was in her kitchen looking for her hidden pack of cigarettes when the phone rang.
"DAMN It." she screamed.
"Hello?"
"Hey Luce, can I come over?"
"Um sure Ike." Lucy felt something was going on. "What's going on Ike?"
"Nothing I just think we need to talk."
"OH um okie come over."
"Thanks"
"Bye."
"Bye."
Few moments later. DING DONG!
Lucy greeted Ike warmly "Hey babe come in. You want something to drink." she asked. 'Hmmm, what's up with him, he seemed all cheery only an hour before.'
"Nah I'm fine."
"Have a seat I'll be your host for the evening." Gesturing for Ike to sit down
"Hey be serious Luce."
"Sorry I will be serious. SO what's up?"
"Well Luce, I need to know something."
"What? I'll tell you anything Ike."
"Really? Ok well then let's play some truth or dare just take out the dare."
"Ah a game I got in a trouble with more than once before. Okie. I'm up for a risky game. But you start."
"OK. What are your feelings towards me and Tay." Ike asked.
"Whoa straight forward." Ike didn't say anything just kept staring at Lucy. "Well. What do you mean? Friendwise? Or other?"
"Other." Ike said with a straight face.
"Well I think your both great, umm, cute, you guys have made it fun here for me so far, anything else?"
"No that's ok. Your turn,"
"ha! I'm going to get you at your own game. Same question for you just change the names to my name."
"Ah I see. Well Lucy, to be honest, I think your great too, your pretty, (Lucy blushed a little and Ike saw this), and well I think your the coolest girl I've ever meet."
"Really?" Lucy was a bit intrigued
"Really."
"Aw shucks your making me blush. Your turn"
"Okay well what's your status."
"Oh jeez these questions get more and more personal. Well I'm single. My turn. Are you asking me these questions because well ok I will just say this? Are you interested in me."
Ike didn't even blink but he looked away immediately.
"That's it isn't' it." All Lucy heard was a muffled yea. Lucy went over and sat next to Ike and he looked at her.
"You have the most beautiful blue eyes, Luce"
"Oh Ike, kiss me already."
They shared a very passionate kiss that left Lucy and Ike breathless.
"Hey Zac what are you doing?"
"Oh nothing Tay just looking for my skates."
"Oh they're downstairs I only know COZ I TRIPPED ON THEM!"
"Jeez sorry Tay."
"No prob Zaccky poo."
"Hey don't call me that!" After Taylor saying that it caused Zac to get a little upset. Which made Zac lunge himself at Taylor. Taylor fell back onto his bed. They wrestled for about 15 minutes.
"I got a great idea Tay!"
"What?" Taylor asked wondering what this great could be.
"Why don't we go see if Lucy wants to go skating?"
"Oh she'll love that, she can't skate ZAC."
"Why she's a tough student? Why don't we just teach her." Zac said
"Hmmm, It's an idea, but first she would have to get skates anyways right?" Taylor said. Zac just shook his head.
"Oh well. Tay? Do you think Lucy likes me?"
"Likes you of course she does."
"No no no I mean like (Zac starts makes kissy sounds)"
"OH! Well I dunno about that but isn't she outta your range there Zac?"
"Well just cause she's older than me."
"She's older than me too!"
"Well so?"
"Well Zac I think she likes you as a friend and nothing more but hey it doesn't hurt to try right?"
"Yea but your prob right"
Suddenly Ike walks in with a big smile. Taylor read his face that something good must of happened.
"Hey Zac ma made some cookies down..."
Before Ike could finish Zac dashed through the room and down the stairs.
"So Romeo what happened?"
"Well! I told her how I felt and well she said to kiss her so I did."
"Ah Romeo and Juliet what a good couple movie! You know I think you could go rent it down at Video Zone."
"I'm way ahead of you Taylor. Thanks for helping me get the nerve to talk to her."
"No prob. Hey if it doesn't work out I could always give it a try...."
"Don't even think of it pal!"
"That's Mr. Pal to you!"
"C'mon We are going to Video Zone. We're going to surprise Lucy."
After that wonderful experience Lucy was incredibly happy until the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Lucy it's mom." Lucy could tell there was something wrong.
"What's wrong Ma?"
"It's grandma," by that time Lucy's mom was crying.
"Ma what's wrong?"
"She died honey. This morning."
"Oh Ma!" Lucy felt tells well up in her eyes.
After a tragic conversation with her mother. It was decided that Lucy would immediately fly back to CT to attend the wake and funeral. The tickets were waiting at Tulsa Airport.
