A Never Ending Love

Lucy was sitting on the grass by the lake; her long legs folded beneath her. She appeared tranquil as her long brown hair moved gently in the breeze. She gazed up at the moon, her emerald eyes reflected its light, and she wore a subtle smile. After hearing a sound to her left, she turned to find her friend Emma standing nearby. The evening was warm, with a clear sky and visible stars. Lucy watched the stars quietly, as she often did, there was something magical about them. Without speaking, Emma joined Lucy on the grass and rested her head on Lucy’s shoulder; they exchanged quiet smiles.Lucy glanced over to check on Nicola and Alex, always looking out for her friends. They lived in a quiet village that attracted tourists in the summer, but it was not as crowded as the town where Lucy had previously lived. Since moving to Thetford last year, Lucy appreciated the slower pace of life—the friendly local pub known for its whitewashed walls and dark oak beams, and the calm, welcoming atmos

As they walked along Lucy examined her own feelings, she knew what James said was right, there was a belonging, something that pulled them together. It was not something she could explain, it was an instant feeling of belonging, being home. It was crazy, beyond crazy, the tingles she got when he took her hand, the butterflies she got from his gaze. She felt like… No she knew… This was her person, the one made for her! “James” she whisperedIts ok Lucy, you don’t need to say anything, it was a stupid request so early on. We can come back to it later once we have got to know each other more.” James blurted out without waiting for Lucy to finish.Lucy smiled, she knew just by that response this was her man, his sensitivity everything about him, how could she have been so lucky. “Will you please let me finish” she giggled. “I think you are right, I feel more at home and comfortable with you that I have ever felt before, like you are meant for me, a part of my being, my soul, I can’t even

“Hey, Emma” he said softly as he looked down at her. She jumped slightly taken aback by the gentle way he said her name. Looking up at him she replied “Yes” She felt that after the flirting and the advances he had made tonight, she knew where this conversation was going to go. But he threw her off when he responded.“What do you like to eat?” He looked down at his feet mentally kicking himself. Why in the hell would you ask that? You moron he beat himself up again. I’ve known Emma so long why I can’t just ask the damn woman on a date! His train of though pulled him away from the conversation he had started with Emma, giving himself a mental shake he pulled himself back to reality. “No, that’s not what I was going to say, I’m sorry I’m just a little tongue tied when it comes to things like this, I’ve liked you for so long and I didn’t think you would ever feel anything towards me” Emma glanced up at him touching his face gentle with her fingers. She smiled at him. This gave him courage

Lucy was at home, still living with her parents, she shook her head why she hadn’t moved out, yet she still didn’t know. Her mobile was downstairs she had nothing on it yet, Just Emma’s number. She felt so stupid still after dropping her phone in the lake. She laughed as she remembered watching James had jump in after it. He had tried so hard to get it before it sank. But it was too late. It was dead. She had popped the battery out and left it to dry in pieces over the course of the next few days, but she reluctantly had to go and get a new phone on Friday when she realised it was toast! Lucy heard the phone ringing downstairs and her mum walking across the hardwood floor to answer it. Her mum walked aback across the floor and shouted up the stairs to her. She got up from her bed and went downstairs. She picked up her mobile as she walked past it, maybe she should have kept this with her as she saw several missed calls.“Hi” Lucy said into the phone receiver.“Hey sweetie, I tried y

The usual place was the small Pizza Hut on the High Street. It was quite busy today; the blue sky had brought people out of their homes and into the town centre. At eleven o’clock James was the only person that hadn’t arrived. The seven friends chatted until he arrived five minutes later., He was half running and half walking towards them.“Finally, you set a time and you’re the one that’s late” Lucy chuckled at him, tapping her watch, James didn’t answer just grabbed her around the waist pulling her to him, kissing her with a growl.“Get a room guys” Robert laughed, “The world does not need to see how nauseatingly loved up you two are” “Robert!” Emma barked at him “We can be just as bad.” She crossed her arms and turned away from him, her nose in the air, Rover looked to the heavens and mouth “Why me” she was right they were just as bad. He spun Emma around taking her in his arms and tickling her. She laughed and he kissed her. IT was just like them, this was just how they were. Peo
