Wishing stars

Meep.

(sorry, I'm working on it)

Tucker nodded and smiled down at her after Jaxson had made his way around the corner. He kissed her gently, his kisses being few, but always filled with tenderness. "Thank you, Lucia."

Lucia enjoyed the feeling of his lips on hers for a moment and nodded. She wanted to help him out. "Wanna go back to the seats or would you rather stay here for a little longer?" She asked.

"It doesn't stink out here," Tucker chuckled, watching her. Well..it did sort of stink outside, but not like it stunk inside. Inside it smelled like sweat, stale hot dogs, and cigars. "I'd like to stay here, if you don't mind."

Lucia shook her head, turning slightly to wrap her arms around him and bury her face in his chest. She could hear his heart beating and relaxed a little bit more. "I don't mind at all," she mumbled.

Tucker smiled, rubbing her back gently as he rocked them from side to side.

That night Tucker was exauhsted. It was almost one when they got back to the hotel and he didn't even bother taking his boots off. He just flopped onto the bed, fully clothed, falling asleep as soon as he hit the matress.

Lucia curled under her blanket, still in her dress and fidgeted a few times before going to sleep. She sighed and finally closed her eyes, curled into a ball. That night, she slept with almost no interuption, no dreams or pains, just peace.

Tucker didn't wake until he fell out of the bed, hitting the ground with a loud THUD. He groaned, trying to blink the sleep from his eyes, his body feeling exauhsted and sore.

Lucia rolled over in bed and opened her eyes slowly, a small smile spreading across her lips. "Are you okay?" She asked, seeing Tucker on the ground. She slid some shorts on and slipped out of her dress, thankful for her black tanktop underneath.

"Yeah." Tucker muttered, wincing as he adjusted himself so he was more comfortable on the floor. He was not going to move he decided. He was just going to lay there and let his body rest.

Lucia yawned and let her hair down, slipping from the bed. She moved down and sat next to him on the floor. She let her fingers trail up and down his arm and she looked at the floor.

Tucker shivered slightly, smiling at her. "Well good morning to you too," he chuckled. "How did you sleep?"

Lucia's small smile turned into a grin. "Very well," she said. "How about you?" She asked, cocking her head. It seemed like he had been sleeping so soundly he was... Dead.

Tucker chuckled and nodded. "Great, until I fell off the bed. Now I just hurt." He forced himself to sit up next to her, groaning as he did so.

"You know, I could have just laid down next to you," Lucia said, smiling. One of her eyebrows quirked up as she chuckled.

Tucker glanced at her then at the floor, then wrapped his arm around her, and laid back down with her, again with a muffled groan and a wince. "Much better." He said once they were settled comfortably.

Lucia cuddled a bit closer, trying not to hurt him and she rested her hand on his chest. She was content to lay here until they actually needed to move.

...

Tucker held her close, falling asleep again. He didn't move much, his body to achey, even in his sleep.

Lucia woked up again around noon and shifted slightly, resting her head on his chest. She heard something vibrate and reached near her bed, finding her phone in her purse. Her mom.

Cia. I'm sorry about the blow up.

Can't wait to see you.

Lucia grimaced and rested her head on him again, sliding her phone across the floor to her purse.

Tucker woke half an hour after Lucia did, his body still achey, though it wasn't as bad. He blinked a few times and looked down at her and gave a small smile. "Hey you," he paused for a minute. "How long have we been here?" He asked curiously, hoping he wasn't late for the sale.

Lucia stretched out slight and pushed through her hazy mind, thinking. "Um, two hours or so?" She said, unsure of herself. "It's one at the latest right now." She sat up and rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand. "Why? What time do we need to leave?" She asked, standing up. Half of her expected him to jump up and tell her that they needed to go right now.

"We need to be there by about four thirty. Our sale is at five." Tucker pouted slightly as she got up. He sighed and looked around for a clock. 12:55. Close enough. He groaned, forcing himself up into a sitting position. "You wouldn't happen to have any asprin, would you?"

Lucia pursed her lips and looked through her purse. She found a bottle of asprin and chuckled. She also had a full blown first aid kit in there. She always left the house prepared. She sat down next to him again and held out the bottle.

"Thanks," Tucker said as he took the bottle from her, taking four of the pills and downing them without water. He handed her back the bottle and smiled. "So, have you been shopping yet?"
