"Ahh~" Felix and I said as we put our feet in a tub of warm water. Jason had his feet in too but he was busy listening to music.

"This feels soooooo good. I have no mood in making lunch." I said.

"Wanna go out out and have lunch then?" Jas asked. I nodded.

"I wanna have hamburgers!" Felix said. "Okay. Then we'll leave after 20 minutes." I said.

It was around 2:45 pm that we came home. I found a letter laying on the ground as soon as I opened the door. I opened and Jason leaned over my shoulder to read it too.

"So their keeping a party for us and the kids tonight huh?" Jason said. I nodded. I then got a call on my phone. I picked it up.

"Hello?" I said.

"Lucy! It's me Levy!"

"Oh hey Lev!"

"Did you get the letter?"

"Yeah. Just got it."

"I bet you don't have a dress for tonight then?"

"Do I need to wear a dress?"

"Of course you need to! We all girls will be going shopping at 5:30 pm. Join us!"

"Umm....fine..I'll meet you'll later."

"Great! See ya!"

"Bye." I said and put down my phone. I sighed. Great! I'll have to wear another dress today!

"Who was it Mama?" Felix asked. "It was Aunty Levy. I'll be going shopping at 5:30 with her and the others. Okay?" I said. He nodded. Jason nodded too.

"Hey. I'll be back in an hour or so. I have some work I need to do." Jason said and was about to leave but I caught him by the end of his sleeves. He turned to look at me. I looked at him with worried eyes.

"Is it another mission?" I asked softly so that Felix won't hear. Jason's eyes widened. They soon returned back to their original size.

"Something like that." He said. "Is it a dangerous one?" I pried. I didn't want him getting hurt. He came closer to me and kissed the top of my head.

"Don't worry. I'll be fine. And it's not that dangerous. I'm more dangerous." He said and smiled lightly. I pursed my lips.

"Now don't make that face. It makes me want to kiss you senseless." He said and smirked when he saw my red face.

"Jason!" I shouted. He suddenly pulled me into a hug.

"You shouldn't worry about me so much. I don't deserve it." He said and kissed my cheek and quickly left. I touched the part where he kissed me. It was warm. And what did he mean he doesn't deserve it? It's so difficult to read him. I felt a tug at my hand.

"Mama I'm bored! Let's do something!" Felix complained. I thought for a bit. I smiled when an idea came to me.

"Felix you wanna bake a cake with me?" I asked. His eyes shined. He nodded rapidly.

"Oh I know! Let's bake a cake for Papa! We'll give him a surprise when he comes back." I said.

"Yay! We're gonna bake a cake! A cake!" He said happily and we went to the kitchen to start our work.

Jason's POV

Finally. It's done. My mission wasn't that difficult. I just had to save someone and get some information. But I ended up killing 2 or 3 people. I'm glad I don't have any blood stains on me. Short stacks would freak out otherwise and it wouldn't be a good sight for Felix to see too. I almost reached home. Home. I removed my mask from my face.

I smiled. I've been smiling a lot today. What the-?! My eyes widened. I smell blood! And it's coming from our house! Are Lucy and Felix okay?! I rushed home and slammed open the door. I heard Felix's voice.

"Mama. You're bleeding. Are you fine?"

"Don't worry sweetheart. I'm fine." I heard Lucy's voice. She's hurt?! I rushed to the kitchen to find Felix sitting on the counter and Lucy was on the chair, looking completely fine with only a small cut on her finger. I sighed in relief.

"Jason/Papa!" They said.

"Yeah?" I said. "Did you come home now?" Short stacks asked. I nodded. I sniffed the air a bit. I could smell chocolate and sugar and etc. That's when I took in the sight of the kitchen. There was flour everywhere, broken eggs, chocolate powder and there was cream too. And those two were covered in all these things too.

Short stacks pushed a cake towards me.

"We made it for you!" She said. "You know I don't like sweet things." I said.

"I know. That's why we made a bittersweet cake. Try it! Here. Open wide!" She said cutting a piece and putting it in front of my mouth. I ate it. The soft cake melted in my mouth. I could taste a little sweetness but it was bitter at the same time. It tasted like dark chocolate.

"Not bad." I said.

"We did it Mama!" Felix said and high fived his 'Mama'. She smiled brightly.

"Have you'll seen yourselves in the mirror? You'll look awful." I said and they turned to each other.

"Guess it got quite messy huh? Felix why don't you have a bath first?" Short stacks said. He nodded.

"I'll have a bath myself today! I'm a big boy now!" Felix said and ran upstairs. That kid. Short stacks began cleaning up the place. I noticed that there was some cream on her face. Very close to her lips. I smirked. "Hey short stacks." I called and neared her.

"It's Lucy! And what i-?" She cut herself off when I licked the cream off her face. And my tongue just brushed against her lips. When I pulled back I saw that her face was dark red.

"W - What? What did you do that for?!" She asked.

"You had cream on your face." I simply said. "You could have told me or something!" She said. She looked so cute right now. Oh gosh. Tell me I didn't just use the word cute. That's for lovestruck sissies. And I'm not one of them.

I pulled her close to my body by putting my arm around her waist.

"Is that a blush I see, wifey?" I said smirking. "Wifey?" She repeated.

"Well since Felix is our child that makes us husband and wife. So why don't you start calling me Hubby?" I asked and if possible her blush intensified.

"Is my cute little Wifey flustered?" I asked in a mocking tone. She pushed me away.

"Stop teasing me! And let me do my work!" She yelled. But she didn't look scary with her face all red and cheeks puffed out. It's so fun teasing her. I'll never get tired of it.

"But it's so fun teasing you." I said smirking. "Jas!! I'll do anything! Just leave!" She said. "Anything?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"Anything!" The word came out before she could think and I know she's regretting it. I smirked.

"Let's see. Hmm." I thought for a bit. "You'll let me kiss you whenever and wherever I want." I said.

"W - What? N - No!" She said with her cheeks pink. "You said you'd do anything." I said.

"B - but..I.. ugh fine! But only for today!" She said.

"Okay. I know you like me kissing you as much as I do. Don't deny it." I said smirking.

"That's not true!" She said. "Yeah yeah." I said and gave her a peck on the lips. She turned red as a tomato. I wanted laugh so hard but I did have a facade to keep up. She pushed me away and quietly cleaned the kitchen counter.

"Mama! Papa! I'm done!" Felix yelled, hugging my leg. The poor kid didn't even reach my waist.

"I - I'll go and have a bath now!" Short stacks said running upstairs.

"Why was Mama in such a hurry?" Felix asked looking up at me.

"Papa just teased Mama a bit so she got embarrassed." I said.

Lucy's POV

I closed the bedroom door and leaned against it. I put my hand on my chest right above my heart. I tried stopping it from beating so fast. What's with Jason today?!

I need a bath! A bath always helps me! But this time I was done with my shower quickly. It was chillier today so I decided on a light blue full sleeved top, dark blue jeans and a black coat. But my neck was left open. I wanted a scarf to cover it.

Unfortunately I didn't have any scarves with me.

"Jason! Do you have any scarves?" I asked from upstairs.

"I have a white and black one in the top drawer. But it might be too huge for you." He said. I quickly went and pulled it out. It was a really nice piece.

I tied it around my neck and Jason was right. It was quite long and huge. It almost covered half of my face and the two ends went down below my waist. But it was warm. And it smelt like cinnamon and firewood. Just like Jason always smells. I grabbed my purse and went down.

The boys looked at me weirdly. "Isn't it too big for you?" Jason asked. "It is but I have nothing else now. I'll manage." I said and was tieing the laces of my shoes when I remembered I hadn't worn my locket. I ran upstairs to wear it.

But unfortunately while walking down the stairs I tripped due to my half tied laces but Jason caught me at the end of the stairs. "How clumsy can you get? And what were you finding up?" Jason asked. I pouted at the first comment.

"I forgot to wear the locket. The one which has your Alice stone. I wear it everywhere." I said. And was that a small blush I saw?! My eyes widened.

He covered his mouth with the back of his hand. I smirked. So I can make Jason Hooke blush too now. I grinned evilly.

Suddenly I felt my phone vibrating. I took it out to see that it was Kelly.

"Hey Kelly."

"Heya Lucy. Are you ready?"

"Ya. I'm just leaving."

"Okay. Meet us near Hannah's boutique, the one in the same path as the park. We'll be waiting there."

"Sure. See ya there. Bye."

"Bye. Come fast."

I put down the phone and saw that Jason wasn't blushing anymore. Aww. And he looked so cute!

"I'll be leaving now. I should be back in an hour. The party starts at 7:30 pm right?" I asked. Jas nodded.

"Mama. I don't have anything to wear for the party." Felix said. "Don't worry. There's a tux for you. It's up in your wardrobe. We got it an hour back. Our Sir gave it to us." I said. His eyes sparkled.

"I can't wait to wear it!" He said. I smiled. "And I bet you'll look really handsome in it. I gotta go now. Bye. Be good." I said and kissed him on the cheek.

"Where's my kiss?" Jason said as he spun me around. "You won't get any." I said. He raised an eyebrow. He held my chin and brought his lips to mine. He kissed me softly and gently. His warmth seeping into me. I kissed him back with the same passion. When we broke apart we were out of breath.

"Are you'll done? Can I open my eyes now?" I completely forgot Felix was right there.

"You can kiddo." Jas said.

"You'll shouldn't kiss in front of a 5 year old." Felix said.

"Wait 10 more years and you'll be doing the same." Jason said. I elbowed him in the ribs.

"Eww." He said. "That's not what you'll be saying when you grow up." Jason said.

"Okay. I want this conversation to end right now. And it should not start again once I step out of the house. Got it?" I said and they both nodded. I smiled and left.

I spotted the girls in front of a huge dress shop, chatting their time away.

"Hey guys! Sorry I'm late." I said.

"Hey Lucy." They said.

"Don't worry, let's go in. It's shopping time!" Lisa said and went in followed by all of us. My god! There were like millions of dresses here! It's gonna take so much time to find one. That means trying out more and more dresses. I sighed.

Let's do this. I said in my mind and began searching for a dress I might like.

"May I help you Miss? You look a bit troubled." One of the assistant's said. I smiled.

"That would be great! Thanks." I said. "So for what are you buying a dress for?" She asked.

"Well it's for a small party. Amongst friends." I said.

"So do you want a casual, cute, hot or a revealing dress?" She asked. There were such differences too?

"I'm not sure. Why don't you suggest?" I said.

"Well personally I think you'd look good in all. So what colour? And do you want it to be frilly?" She asked.

"What colour do you think would suit me? And no. I don't want my dress to have any frills. And I'd prefer a mid thigh dress. With a sweetheart neckline and one that hugs my body in all the right places." I said. I can't believe I know so much about dresses.

The girls are rubbing off on me.

"I think the colour red would suit you best. It will bring out your eyes. I have a few good pieces. Just a minute." She said and went through the racks. She picked out 4 to 5 dresses.

"Try them on. See what you like and I can help you choose too." She said and pushed me into the trial room with all the dresses in my hands. After trying them all I settled on the third one which I tried. I went over to the counter to pay for it.

Soon after the others were done too. We decided to chill for a bit in the café. I had a choco coffee pastry. We gossiped a lot. Hey we're girls! That's what we do!

"This reminds me of last year's prom." Elly suddenly said.

"Yeah. We all went shopping like this last year too and now Lucy's with us too." Lisa said.

"Prom huh? Did something interesting happen last year?" I asked. "Nah." Levy said.

"But it was fun! I danced with James till late night." Kelly said and sighed in remembrance. I smiled for her.

"Hey Lucy~ Is there someone you like?" Levy asked. I blushed. Jason came to my mind first but then I remembered the person with the mask who I met on my first day. I never got to meet him again. His eyes were all I remember. They were so captivating.

Normal POV

Lucy was snapped out of her thoughts by Levy.

"Lucy! Are you listening?" She asked. "Yeah I am. Sorry. Just got lost in thought." Lucy said.

"You still didn't answer my question. Is there a guy you like?" Levy asked again.

"There is...." Lucy said shyly. The girls leaned in to hear who he is.

"And who is he?" Lisa asked her eyes sparkling.

"I...I don't know!" Lucy confessed.

The girls fell off their seats. "What?" Lucy asked dumbly.

"You don't know the guy you like?!" Kelly asked.

"How can I?! I saw the guy like once!" Lucy said. The girls got confused at this. They were expecting her to say Jason.

"You saw him once? When?" Elly asked. "Remember the first day I came here and went out for a jog next morning? That's when I first saw him." Lucy said.

"And did you'll talk or did he like say 'hi' or something?" Levy asked and Lucy shook her head.

"What exactly happened was that I had just finished jogging and I heard footsteps so I climbed up a huge tree and hid there. I don't know why exactly I hid but I did. And then I saw someone's legs. I could say that it was a guy but I couldn't see him so I leaned forward a bit. Then he suddenly spoke which made me lose my balance and I fell off the tree. Before I could hit the ground the guy had caught me in his arms. After that I just thanked him and ran away. But I couldn't see his face since he was wearing a mask." Lucy said.

"How romantic!" Lisa said.

"Who could he be?" Elly said more like to herself.

"So what do you remember about him?" Levy asked.

"I told you I couldn't see him properly." Lucy said.

"Do you remember his hair colour? Eyes?" Kelly asked.

"I did see his eye colour!" Lucy said. "What was it?" They all asked. Lucy sighed and there was a dreamy look on her face.

"They were such beautiful shade of green. Emerald green. But his eyes kinda had a cold stare." She said. All the girls slapped their foreheads.

"What's wrong? Have you'll seen him?!" Lucy asked.

"Yeah. There's only one person in this entire academy who has cold emerald green eyes. And we've met him. You've met him. You see him everyday." Levy said.

"Who?!" Lucy asked. "Think Lucy! Who have you seen with emerald green eyes?" Kelly asked.

"Jason." Lucy answered in less than a second. But she still sat there clueless. The girls stared at her hard. That's when it striked her.

"The masked guy is Jason?!" Lucy shouted. The girls nodded.

"Thank goodness!" Lucy said. The girls looked up surprised. They thought she would get all flustered and blush.

"What do you mean Lucy?" Elly asked. "I'm glad that masked guy was Jason." She said. "And why is that?" Lisa asked.

"Well....I already knew I like Jason, maybe love him, but then I used to even remember this guy so I was confused on who I love. I mean this is all new to me. Yeah I've read romance books a lot so you'll must be thinking that I should be normal with this but actually experiencing these feelings the main protagonist feels is mind blowing and different than just reading it. And a small part of me already knew that I loved Jason more. But if I hadn't known this then I would have this nagging feeling in my mind. But now that it is cleared that Jason and the masked guy are one and the same person, it's like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. And I'm happy to know I love only one person." Lucy confessed. The girls softly smiled.

"Oh what did I babble?!" Lucy said covering her face in embarrassment. The girls laughed. She then joined in too.

Lucy's POV

"Jas? Felix? I'm home." I said and I walked in. I shut the door. I then heard some noise from above. I walked up in curiosity. I knocked on mine and Jason's bedroom door.

"Short stacks?" Came from inside.

"Yeah it's me. What's going on in?" I asked.

Suddenly the door was opened and there stood a half naked Jason standing in all his glory.

"You're back early. Done with your shopping?" He asked casually. I felt my face heat up. I could clearly see his well toned abs and that hot body of his! I cou - No Lucy! No dirty thoughts!

"Like what you see?" Jason asked smirking at me.

"You pervert! Wear something!" I said and quickly turned around. "Mama! You're back!" Felix came and hugged my legs. He was half ready too.

"You can't even dress him up? How useless can you be?" I asked. "Hey! We were getting ready when you just popped in." Jas said. I pushed Felix inside the room.

"Fine then get ready. And get him ready too. I'll be down." I said and was about to walk down when Jason suddenly kissed me. It was just a peck but enough to make me blush.

I quickly walked downstairs. I could feel him grinning. How could I love this pervert?! I smiled. I just do I guess. I sat on the couch surfing through channels.

"Mama how do I look?!" I heard Felix's voice and looked away from the TV. The sight brought a smile to my face. There stood Felix in a black tux with his hair gelled up, looking so handsome.

"OMG! Felix you look so handsome! And cute! I can't resist myself anymore!" I said and hugged him tightly. He hugged me back. I pulled back.

"So did Papa gel your hair?" His hair was a bit spiky but that made him look all the more better.

"Yeah and he did it so well!" He said. Of course. The guy always has his hair in spikes. I then noticed something missing.

"Felix, where's your tie or bow?" I asked. "I don't know. Papa didn't make me wear one." He said. That can't be done! A tux should always have a tie or a bow to go with it.

"Hey." I turned to see Jason. My eyes widened and I felt heat rising up. I stood there with my mouth ajar. He looked damn hot! The inner shirt stuck to his abs like a second skin. He hadn't worn his black coat yet and his tie was missing too.
