The Town Plaza

Spoiler

xD That'll be a moment I'm looking forward to.

Ian

Someone says something and I open my eyes, sitting up and finding one of the people from earlier sitting on the coffee table. Privacy really doesn't mean much, does it?

````
Lucian

Waking up, I look around the hotel room before getting bored and slightly anxious. Time to find Ian... I run a hand through my tousled golden hair before trying to remember where he said he'd be.

Spoiler

Haha...

Ella

I open my eyes and look at Halee, "What do you want?"

"Nothing," I say, "Just got out of school."

"Then...shouldn't you be doing homework?" I raise an eyebrow.

"I wait until last minute."

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Halee

After saying that, I yawn and look around.

Ian

I sigh and glance at Ella before someone else knocks at the door. Kyle stirs and wakes, sitting up and looking at me. I stand and scoop him up before getting the door.

`````
Lucian

I knock on about four doors until Ian answers it, rubbing my elbow and scratching the back of my neck out of anxiety until I do. He's holding a little boy when he answers it, and he flashes a smile at me when he does.

"Uh, come in," he steps aside, motioning me in.

Ella

I smile when Kyle wakes and yawn, studying Lucian.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Halee

I look up at the door when the new guy walks in and smile lightly before looking at Ella, Who's that?

Ian

I clear my throat and close the door behind him, smoothing Kyle's hair back.

"Luce," I say, "This is my son, Kyle. That's my girlfriend Ella. And that's... her cousin, I believe. Forgive me, but I never got your name..."

`````
Lucian

I study everyone in the room, rubbing my wrist anxiously, and smile and nod politely when he introduces me. The girl by the coffee table interests me, and I almost feel obliged to redden when she makes eye contact with me.

Ella

I sigh and nod, Halee biting her lip before breaking eye contact with Lucian and looking at Ian, "Halee Carter," She smiles.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Halee

After introducing myself, I study Lucian once more before twiddling with my thumbs.

Ian

I nod ad shift Kyle in my arms, sitting beside Ella again, "Sit, Luce. You're okay."

`````
Lucian

I hesitate before taking a seat on one of the couches, feeling a little awkward and out of place. My eyes keep catching Halee twiddling with her thumbs, and the routine action seems to calm me slightly. I stay quiet though, not sure what to say.

Ella

I lean against Ian and close my eyes.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Halee

I sigh and glance around, jumping off the table and walking to Ella. I sit next to her, in between her and Lucian, and smile before stealing her phone when she isn't looking.

Ian

Halee comes and sits in between me and Ella and I sigh, shaking my head before going to sit beside Lucian. Kyle hesitates before moving to sit on his lap, studying him.

````
Lucian

I look down at the boy on my lap, not sure what he wants, and flash a light smile. A certain light in his eyes fascinates me, and I soon break into a full smile instead.

Ella

I open my eyes and let Halee do what she wants. I study her, "How old are you now?"

"Fifteen," She looks up.

I smile, "Are...are your parents still thinking of having that third child?"

She shrugs, "I don't know."
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,........
Halee

I put her phone on the coffe table before looking at Lucian, hesitating before speaking, "Hi."

Ian

I take Kyle back on my lap and sigh, letting him mess with my hair and collar.

````
Lucian

I flash a smile and hesitate before responding, "Hi."

Ella

I cuddle against Ian again and kiss his cheek.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Halee

I smile back and sigh smiling. I run a hand through my long ringlets of brown hair before looking down, yawning.

Ian

I smile and wrap an arm around Ella, Kyle moving to play with her hair.

````
Lucian

I study her before looking down at my hands, fumbling with them.

Ella

I let Kyle do what he wants and yawn.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Halee

I look back up at Ella and study them, "Are you guys like...are you his new mother or something?"

She shrugs, smiling, "I have no idea

Ian

I smile and watch Kyle turn around to face Halee, nodding with a huge smile.

"Mama Ewa!" he exclaims.

Lucian

I watch the whole ordeal, still fascinated by the innocence in the boy.
