"Hopefully we can sneak in through the window. And don't worry how we'll get up there. I have my ways..."

Indeed she had her ways ? and of course the sneaking in was perhaps the worst of this whole ordeal, if not the most fun!

They had to make their way from the front the door ? down a hallway ? up those stairs and finally to her room! A long silent voyage that if even if the tiniest of creaks of two sets of feet running throughout the house, a simple giggle or even a mere utter of words would rise suspicions amongst the others and then Charlotte would have been alerted to something going on, in Lucy?s bedroom... Naturally she might be fairly shocked if she did burst into the room that night to find Lucy sprawled on top of Judd in nothing but her straight jacket while he topless and wearing nothing but his boxes ? their bodies writhing into a deep heated passion of heavy kissing and biting. Grunts and gasps? Perhaps she would give Lucy a lecturing about boys and about the wrongs of sneaking them into the house without her permission in the morning? She hoped not.

And poor Judd! What would he do? Jump out the window and make a run for it?

Nothing really roguish happened that night, either. It went no further than the kissing and the exploration of hands on body ? however not even touching those vital pleasure-inducing areas either! Lucy was exacting some self control while she was trying to figure out if this was just merely a fling, or a simple crush.

She?d find out the more time she would spend with him, but it was soon becoming far beyond that of a crush.

But then Cassie seemed to be doing stuff with that insufferable man in this house, anyways! So why couldn?t Lucy do it? A girl had her rights to party and she?d be damned if she constantly heard THEIR damned romps!

Earplugs were bought to deal with that!

Morning! They had survived the night and both of them were curled into the bed sheets of pink ? Lucy?s hair was roughed up into a fuzz and her head rested on his chest, snuggled close with hands wrapped around his waist limply? A tiny half smile touching her lips as she slept? Listening to that heartbeat ? listening to the blood flow ? the rise and falls of his chest ? the rush of air of his breathing? Yes, she slept soundlessly?

Everything was going great...

The problem was? She forgot to lock her door?

Door knock?

Lucy was dreaming the happiest dream known to her, ? god knows what though and many would not like to find out, either. But then in her dreamy-like state she heard something real cutting on through the fantasies ? a DOOR KNOCK?

Lucy flinched at the light invading her room and slowly she rubbed her eyes ? trying to work out the fuzz at the frontal part of her lobe pressing tightly into her forehead. She was totally hung over, and she was surprised she wasn?t pickled by the amounts of alcohol she had consumed.

The door was opening? It wasn?t registering? And that?s when suddenly her wide scarlet eyes were flung open when her name was shouted at her. And whom did the voice belong too? Her Mother!
She wouldn?t have minded if Cassie came up to wake her and discover Judd, but not Charlotte! Lucy and Judd?s plan in escaping out of the house before anyone waking up was NOT going to happen now? They were going to have to face the music together?

Poor Judd.

?MOTHER!? Lucy dragged the bed cover up and over her own and Judd?s body ? lucky for her that straight jacket hid her bare flesh, but? She was naked from the waist down and her panties were discarded to the side along with her jeans and boots. Too, Judd?s clothing except for his boxers?

Still the situation looked grim, at best? And she wished she put those panties back on before she fell asleep?

This looked horrible!

She peaked from over the bed cover, biting her lip? Only the top half of her head being seen, and her innocent embarrassed scarlet eyes staring directly to her Mother, and the second mistake she would make? She giggled, nervously?

?M? Mommy? Hey, uh-urm? This really isn?t what it looks like!? Still hiding behind the bed cover! Cringing, kicking herself mentally ? wanting to strangle herself for getting so goddamned reckless. ?J? Judd?? She shook him with her sleeve covered hand, ?Mother, this is Judd?? That?s right Lucy, make it like this isn?t such a big deal! Still shaking Judd violently, trying to wake him from his hangover he was trying to sleep off too.

Lucy blinked at the groans, though she still shook him violently despite his cute sounding rejections ? she would love for him to continue sleeping in all honesty! She?d love to listen to the sounds of his heart pounding loudly against his chest; Lucy was sweet in that respect, and just she loved the sounds of a heartbeat pounding in her ears... But if she could imagine Judd?s right now she could probably compare it something close to a man just about having a heart attack.

Suddenly all feeling of him on her palm disappeared and then a rather nasty thud coming to make Lucy cringe, drop the bed-sheet from her body (still only covered by the straight jacket on her torso, everything else naked) scuttled to the edge of the bed, peering down with wide concerned eyes.

?Judd! You okay?!? Pause. Okay now did she think this through correctly? Was she practically on all-fours butt-naked ? her back curved lightly ? the rather smooth skin of her behind lightly reddened by what is apparently finger marks? No she did NOT think this through. But she did not care if she was naked or not.

Right now Lucy felt like Judd was bolting for it obviously by the state of his reaction and rather super-sonic haste towards his pants. Lucy looked a little hurt and just felt like one of those girls who got used for a one nightstand and left in an empty bed in the morning when they woke up. She looked back to her Mother frowning. ?Mom! Please understand this really, really isn?t what it looks like!?

Lucy? Cover yourself up! Showing your scratched butt to her is NOT going to help the situation! DUH!
