❝ maybe you just got it all wrong, teddy bear. ❞ lucy gray quipped back while hand reached up to tap under his chin , there was too much fun warring him in a battle of pet names and she was no quitter. ❝ maybe that was my plan all along and you went fallin' for it. could've been all just to test you. ❞ one shoulder shrugged as she gave out other possibilities, it didn't sound too far from the truth to her since she had been wary how safe it was to shut her eyes under one roof with all these others sharing it with her. ❝ or it easily could've just been me prankin' you. ❞ doe eyes did their best scheme at trying to play innocent, speaking nonchalantly while waving him off dismissively. ❝ that's another thing i do when i got bad dreams and can't sleep, i been known to play pranks. ❞ she reasoned, sweetly smiling. none of these things were technically lies, so scrambling them in with the real truth was a fun attempt to mess with him. ❝ that's why i didn't prank beardy john in there first, since you're the man of this house. ❞ the songstress stifles a laugh. ❝ it's that easy, huh? ❞ amusingly, brunette asked. she would next have to do some questioning on how safe that was as her relaxation on his bed comes to a halt, sitting up on her hands as eyes trailed over him. surveying the taller. not trustin' him as far as she can throw him. her eyes found his extended palm, wishing he wasn't so good at having a memory. after a second she sits up straight and has to begrudgingly dig into her top one more time, fishing out two rings. ❝ they are some shiny pretty rings. ❞ lucy gray commented once they were in her palm, ❝ but i guess i better pay up. so alright, darlin'... ❞ for a second she genuinely was reaching over to hand them back, no more games. until his hand held out like that gave her an idea for one more at last second. hand that's seemingly dropping off the rings ends up quickly grabbing his instead, pulling him forward then takes the two rings and slides them on her middle and ring fingers. lucy gray swiftly stands up on his bed, hopping over him and pressing her back to the headboard with amused grin adorning her face and adrenaline spiking her heart rate. ❝ i just think they're lonely and need a new owner. don't you think so too? ❞ they were a little big on her smaller fingers, but she was playing with him anyway; seeing what he'll do as she showcases the rings on her left hand.

"  It  is  my  place  when  my  things  are  down  your  clothes,  "  Theodore  countered.  The  man  could  care  less  about  women's  innocence  when  they  stole  what  belonged  to  him.  "  If  the  thievery  hadn't  been  so  obvious,  I  wouldn't  have  plundered  your  corset,  baby  doll,  "  With  those  words  he  started  to  look  over  the  items  that  she  had  so  kindly  given  back,  is  this  what  he  got  for  being  charitable?  To  be  stolen  from?  In  honesty,  Theodore  hadn't  thought  much  about  her,  rather  thought  she  would  be  useless,  but  apparently,  she  was  more  useable  than  he  thought:  he  could  use  her  for  his  own  benefit.  "  Yes,  he  is  an  easy  target,  dumb  as  you  can  get  them.  Got  better  valuables  too,  if  your  fingers  tingle  that  much,  "  Placing  his  watch  on  his  dresser,  his  gaze  turned  to  look  at  Lucy  Gray  as  she  enjoyed  his  bed.  Theodore  knew  two  more  items  were  missing,  but  he  didn't  consider  them  important-  and  he  didn't  feel  like  fighting  to  get  all  of  his  items  back:  it  was  late  at  night  after  all.  She  was  one  of  a  kind,  that  was  for  sure,  her  personality  seemed  so  much  more  colourful  and  bright  compared  to  his.  "  All  you  have  to  do  is  ask,  sweetheart,  I  don't  mind  sharing  my  bed,  "  Walking  over  to  the  bed,  he  looked  down  at  her  as  she  lay  spread  out,  usually  girls  would  be  naked  if  they  laid  in  his  bed,  and  this  time  around  it  wasn't  the  case:  pity.  "  What  if  you  pay  me...  two  rings  and  I  will  let  you  stay  in  my  bed  for  the  night,  "  Theodore  offered  Lucy  Gray  his  hand,  palm  up  for  her  to  give  him  the  two  missing  items.  A  knowing  smile  on  his  lips:  finding  this  encounter  more  amusing  than  he  should.
