"Why can't I be with her mom?"

"She is too imperfect for you!"

"But that's what I love about her mom, her imperfection, so please, let me be with her."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For as long as Lilly can remember, her family has been servants for the Lockwood's and she vowed to free her family from their cage.

Wanting so badly to go to college and the Lockwood's being a well known and rich family, Lilly decided to follow in her family's footstep with a goal for herself: work for the Lockwood's for a year, raise money, go to college, get a good job and save her family.

But what Lilly didn't think of, didn't expect was for the Lockwood's son, Shane, who has been away from home for ten years to suddenly return and for him to claim her heart.

Knowing the Lockwood's and their pride, can she be with him?

Imperfection

Shane shrugged and looked away from her, he was suddenly too shy to withstand the look she gave him, /"I know I will not take credit for the painting but as it was gifted to me by my father, it has automatically become mine. I drew the flower, wanting to give it you when you become older, say fifteen or thereabout but I never expected the next day to be the last day I will see you, until yesterday/" he sighed, /"you can keep it now, it was intentionally left for you so.../" He shrugged once more, what is wrong with him?

Lilly opened her mouth to speak but she was devoid of words and she did the first that came to her mind, she walked up to him and hugged him.

Shane was shocked at the action, never in one million years did he expect her to hug him. Oh but it's been so long he had her in his arms, he curled his arms at the small of her back, burying his face in the nape of her neck, breathing in her natural scent that smells just like a lily.
