Wish Come True
*** When Lucy went home she found herself still thinking of him, but this
time when she tried to sit she...... couldn’t! When she looked down she saw
why. She had levitated again! Dam these powers! “Leo!” Lucy said in a
somewhat quiet voice. The orb appeared in her living room.
“Lucy?”
“Up here”
“Um, I see your powers have kicked in?”
“Yea but how do I get them to kick out?” She said very nervously.
“Just pretend gravity is pulling you down in your head....SLOWLY though
don’t want to go to China now do you?”
“Ok, slowly, slowly, slo- ah!” Lucy dropped to the floor. Luckily she
caught herself on her feet. “How did that happen?” she pointed upwards.
“You thought too hard of being, well...’up’ that’s all”
“I was thinking of someone not a direction”
“Does this someone make you feel good?”
“Yea I guess you could put it that way, but what does that have to do with
going up 8 feet in the air?”
“Does this person have a name beginning with a ‘C’?”
“OK Yes! I was thinking of Carter”
“I was thinking of Calista Flockhart but what you think of is your
business!” he laughed at the joke “Anyways, it makes you feel ‘light‘ so you
kind of resist gravity and next thing ya know” He pointed upward then he
laughed.
“Leo!” She hit him with a pillow off of her couch.
“So, he’s back?”
“Yea and you know what?”
“What?”
“I think I’m in love with him”
“Whoa you two have barely dated let alone had the chance to love each other”
“Don’t you think I know that? I mean it’s just crazy one minute I hate him
for this whole detox dance then when he apologizes I could never be mad at
him EVER”
Leo sat there dreamily thinking in his own world but hearing every word Lucy
said. “Yea you’re in love” he snapped out.
“Oh man!” Lucy collapsed with a groan onto her couch. “I’m in love with the
man who used to be my teacher”
“Great pick Lucy”
“Yea you’re tellin’ me”
“Well Piper calls I better go”
“Bye” She said only lifting her hand in a wave. ‘I’m in love with my former
teacher. I’M in love with JOHN CARTER’ She smiled at herself and went to
bed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Carter’s house~~~~~~~~~~~~
He didn’t know what to think, all he could wonder is if Lucy really felt the
same way. Was it just a response? She didn’t stay long. ‘Thank Goodness’
he thought. ‘But I wanted her to stay!’ one part said. ‘no, you don’t you
would’ve said something totally idiotic and made yourself look like a fool
with the woman you’re in love with!’ the other part told him. WAIT! did he
say in love? ‘yea I guess I am’ He smiled at his conversation in his head
then he frowned. “Man I must need some seriously extra help if I have to
talk to myself like that” and he went to bed. But he couldn’t. Not only was
he obsessed with Lucy during the day but she was even taking away from his
sleep. ‘Call her, just call her’ he told himself. Only when he picked up
the phone he couldn’t dial her number. ‘Come on its late its not like she
wants to hear from you while SHE can at least sleep’ so he put down the
receiver. Excedrin PM, warm milk, counting sheep, even infomercials
couldn’t put Carter to sleep. He was tired as hell but no, his body just
wouldn’t let him sleep. Soon he just made a plan and found that he was
easily drifting off to sleep. Little did he realize that he had only 3 and
a half hours to sleep before getting ready for his shift.
~~~~~~~~~~~~Lucy’s house~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lucy lay in bed thinking of, you guessed it, John Carter. Lucy couldn’t
bring herself to realize why she had fallen in love with him after barely
dating him! There was just that thing that drew her to him whenever he
walked into a room. Or that smile which made her ‘weak in the knees’ every
time she saw it. And man those eyes, Lucy just felt, protected, when ever
she looked into them. He was closed off mind you, socially, but she could
deal with that. Who better than Lucy, the worlds friendliest doctor and
most social mind you, to make him open up socially? Lucy would be good for
him. But would he be good for her? Would she even be good for him? Lucy had
no trouble falling asleep after her little list.
******************6:45*****************
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BE-
Lucy fumbled with the small but loud black box. She groaned and got out of
bed for a run. Usual but also irritating. Lucy felt like it was something
new every morning. She put on her running gear and headed out.
******************6:45******************
BBBEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Carter fumbled out of bed after nearly destroying the little white radio
clock. This morning he felt like taking a walk and thinking about his
‘conversation’ last night. he had a good hour to kill before his 10 minute
walk to work. Lucy would be in at 9 so he didn’t have to long without her
during the day. He couldn’t believe he was thinking it miserable to be
without her for a couple hours. But then again that’s how someone in love
would act. That or the desire to be with a best friend. Yea that’s what
Lucy was. A best friend. Nothing more or less. Good. Now if he could
only convince himself of that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lucy was making good pace today. Her speed was steady but fast and her edge
was sharp. Now she had slowed to a walk to cool off. She saw several
people on her way back to her apartment to change.
Carter had walked several times around the walk of Lucy’s building. He
couldn’t figure out why. He told himself it was because his favorite
breakfast place was right across but he knew that wasn’t it. He wasn’t
hungry. Suddenly thought he spotted the reason. Yes it was Lucy. In her
running clothes. A gray tank top and light blue gray striped adidas pants.
Her hair pulled back and the look on her face. He knew that one. It was
the look she got when she tried to work really hard at something. Focused
but cool intense but calm. Oh shit had she seen him?
Was that him? Definitely. She couldn’t mistake that face for anyone. She
started walking towards him.
Is she really walking over to me? Yes she is. She’s looking at me. Be
cool. A smile crossed his face.
“Hey” she greeted.
“Hey Luce”
“I’d hug you but I’m kind of gross at the moment” she laughed.
“So what’re you doing out now?”
“Just running it’s a nice day”
“Yea it is. Haven’t seen a day like this in a long time” oops. Had he
really just brought up re-hab?
“Well come on enjoy it then”
“Wanna get some breakfast or something?”
“Yea if you don’t mind waiting about 15 minutes?”
“Sure that’s fine”
“Ok, you can come up if you want. Watch some TV or something”
“Ok” He was actually going into her apartment! ‘Calm down dummy she just has
to change that’s all’
He followed her to the dark gray building. They went up to floor 36. He’d
forgotten Lucy liked the view. He did too.
When he sat down on the couch he immediately felt at home. Like it was
part of his domain. within a matter of minutes Lucy was out and dressed.
Black pants and boots with a cream V neck shirt and a white shirt under
made her look in his eyes, beautiful. Even if the only make up she wore was
lip gloss. She didn’t need any of it. She was naturally beautiful.
“Ready to go?” He asked.
“Yea just let me grab my coat” Though it was nice it was also a little
chilly out. “Ok. Your pick”
“I know just the place” he walked her to Doc Magoo’s. Not romantic but he
knew she liked it. It was comfortable. The whole way there they talked.
Eventually though after a comfortable conversation the point reached where
he brought up their three word exchanges of ‘I love you’.
“I meant it” she said.
“Good. me too”
“So what do we do?” se looked puzzled.
“What do you mean?”
“Well we could do the obvious and go for it or we could make it complicated
and avoid it forever” She purposely made option A look better.
“Well I’d want to go for it”
“Me too”
‘Wow I’m dating Lucy Knight’
‘Wow. I’m dating John Carter’***
