Who Are You When I'm Not Looking ?

She shrugged and looked at the trees as they walked onto the path, sighing as she was covered by trees, "It seems like forever since I've been here," she said softly, looking around.

He laughed ad looked down at her,"Dolll it has been forever since you been here,"Owen looked down at her that same boyish smile he has always had played out on his lips.

Lucy sighed, "I know...I meant to come sooner, then finals came, and i got offered a job and before i knew it every other weekend i was being flown somewhere else to wear something of someone else creation." she said, and took a deep breath, "I did call though, i just never got an answer from anyone." she meat him. though he didn't know that. She called his house each weekend, being where ever she was, she wanted to make sure, he and her father were okay.

Owen looked at her,"Well my number was changed thought your old man told ya that,"He said.

"He didn't tell me. Though, I am sure, it was changed after i had called first, and left a message so you could have gotten a hold of me." She answered looking up and shivering lightly in the shirt she wore as the summer cooled all the way down to just fifty degrees, then a cool wind. A howl echoed though the trees, and she moved closer to him.

Owen looked down at her frowning,"I would have never ignored Lucy ,"he held her close,"so I might of never got that message."He then smirked when he felt her shivering,"let's get you back to your old man."

Lucy shrugged, "I haven't been, out in some real trees, and things for a good year and a half, I'll be fine Owen," she said looking up at him a slight smile on her face as she rested against his side.

Owen smiled,"Alright if you say so... city slicker,"he smirked at the old name this townn had given city people.

“That makes me so much better feeling knowing i was gone for so long.” Lucy said, looking over at him.

Owen smirked more and said,"Hey donn't waorry stay around long enough hunnie and you won't be a city slicker to no one."

Lucy sighed, “I’ll be here, for the next three months.” she said watching the moonlight in the trees, a smile spread across her face, remembering this way, she had a secret carving, that Owen didn’t know that she had done. A heart, with both of their initials she had carved with her knife. “Oh, do you remember, where i put my knife before i left?”

Owen laughed,"Should I?"he asked as he looked down at her.

"I gave it to you, to hold onto," she said, she felt her heart drop a little. she forced her smile though at him as they walked.

Owen stopped dead in his tracks and ran a hand through his hair,"Oh jeez... I-I'm sure it's in my room some where then."

Lucy pulled him along to keep walking, and shrugged, her heart dropped more, “Its alright.” she said as she watched her feet on the dark trail.

"No Lucy stop come on I'm sorry okay ?"He said pulling his arm free he stopped her,"I'll find it as soon as I get home."

She looked up at him, "I understand, i do. Its just a knife. You'll find it when you can." Though i got it from you. it means lot to me. i would think you would have taken better care of it. she thought. she rested her hands on his shoulders, "I forgive you for misplacing it, you'll find it."

Owen frowned,"I didn't misplace it ... it's probably in my closet with all the other stuff of our memories."

Lucy nodded, "Well, I knwo you'll get it back to me when you can." and she dropped the subject as they came to the end of the trail. "Tell me, what al kinds of animals do you have? Besdies Rex?"

"Horeses... cows.. chickens.. pigs.. uhm... that's it ,"I smiled.

She smiled, "You still have Alexia?" the horse i had always rode of his when she was over.

Owen smiled,"Of course I do."

Reno smiled as they walked back up to the porch, she took his hat off and put it back on his head, “I should come see her, you going to be home tomorrow incase i stop by?”

"Probably,"Owen smiled and looked at her as he fixed his hat.

He smiled, "I'll see you tomorrow," Reno kissed his cheek before going insdie, turning on lights as she went, leaving a path in her room of clothes as she went and ran a bubble bath then sunk to her nose.
