Bab 19: Not too Erotic!
Lillian Grey heard that the name 'Giselle,' a character from her past reappeared and that she met with Anna.
Anna is Lillian Grey's best friend. They both knew each other from childhood days and share a strong bond as a family more than just friends. Lillian Grey knew it already that Anna would eventually share the information about Giselle, and hence, she waited.
But, she wasn't ready to handle the news during her trip with Lucy. Hence, Lillian avoided the panic and tried to maintain composure as she spoke with her friend.
The only problem is that she doesn't know how to react. The information isn't something small scale. The effect of sharing the news prevailed Lillian Grey as she struggled to respond.
"Just as I expected it from you," Anna shrugged. She knew that her friend would react this way.
"What?" Lillian fought a battle against the silence.
"Where are you now, and with whom?" Anna realized to gather information before actually attacking her friend.
It took Lillian Grey a moment to think and then answer.
"I'm in Vegas with my girlfriend, Lucy," Lillian stressed the 'girlfriend' part to inform Anna that now's not the time to talk about Giselle or that you have already met her.
"Oh, girlfriend-" Anna paused.
"I don't care. But I need to talk to you. Call me later or text me. I HAVE to... talk to you."
Anna stressed the importance of the conversation that they need to have in the future. Lillian Grey agreed and assured that she would contact her as soon as possible.
Anna agreed.
As the two got deep into their conversation, the breakfast got delivered to their room, and Lucy came out in her bathrobe; looking fresh and clean. She smelled good after the shower. Taking notice of Lillian on her phone, Lucy calmed down her voice, signaling Lillian Grey that she will collect the food and set it for both. Without exposing her real, mental breakdown, Lillian Grey silently nodded while covering her mobile phone with one hand.
Lucy received breakfast and neatly set it for both to enjoy.
"Hmm... bacon and eggs. God, I love breakfast." Lucy indulged herself into the aroma as she arranged it.
Lillian Grey, who still was on her phone, noticed Lucy, happily plating the food on the table. She hummed as she did the job; her face was radiating with the beautiful smile that revealed her cute shy dimples.
Keeping a firm gaze on her, Lillian Grey informed Anna to continue their conversation later. She hung up the call and casually decided to join in the fun with Lucy.
"Oh, you are here," Lucy got surprised from the unexpected back hug by Lillian.
"Hmm..."
"Woah, bacon smells delicious," Lillian commented as she took her seat next to Lucy. Both began to have their breakfast together.
Lots of food sharing and feeding each other moments took place. They looked like those newlywed couples enjoying on their honeymoon.
...
"So, did you talk to your manager?" Lillian asked to know the details.
Lucy frowned.
"Yeah, I have a shoot with this new designer, and she chose me as her model. It's a pretty neat and good opportunity. I'm thinking about considering it." Lucy replied seriously.
"We can leave after breakfast." Lillian decided naturally.
Lillian's response cracked Lucy's serious mode. She knew about Lillian's unpredictable-ness, but this is just too sudden and abnormal. Lucy froze in her pose with a toast on her left hand. The look she had on revealed a lot of emotions.
'We just slept together.'
'We just confessed our feelings about each other.'
'We just had a small fight.'
'We just went on a date yesterday.'
Lucy's memories went backward, like a reminder of what happened so far. Lillian saw her being affected and went in close to hold her.
"It's alright. You can unfreeze now."
She shook Lucy's shoulder to bring her back to the present. Lucy continued chewing her food; like a paused video that got suddenly resumed. She raised her eyebrows to confer her displeasure.
"Don't be silly. We're working adults. You better go and pose for that designer unless it is not too erotic though," Lillian cheered while slipping in her inner thoughts silently.
"It's a lingerie line. It can be erotic." Lucy's instant response shattered Lillian Grey in an instant.
Seeing her lifeless, Lucy grinned.
"Just kidding, It's not for lingerie, you can relax. With all your love bites, I don't think I can even pose for a trendy, summer looks." Lucy chuckled.
"Enough with that; I'm serious. I have a book release this weekend, and you have your shoot. So let's go back. I mean, we traveled like hell yesterday. We'll come back later, probably for our anniversary or something."
Lillian sure knows how to work things. Her statement directly affected Lucy and changed her decision.
Lucy agreed but requested to only leave in the afternoon.
"Afternoon works too. Oh, yes, I forgot completely. I had to get some souvenirs. Otherwise, you can see me dead the second I go back to my apartment."
"Wow, now that you mention it, we haven't gone shopping anywhere. That is a good idea, Ms. Grey. Let's go shopping and then we'll leave." Lucy settled the plan.
"Of course, sweetheart, ask me anything, and I'll buy it for you," Lillian Grey cringed as she remarked those words for fun.
"You know that it doesn't suit you, then why are you even trying to do it?" Lucy wiped the spilling juice from Lillian's mouth.
Lillian Grey chuckled in front of Lucy, but in her mind, it was clouded, with the memories of a girl named, Giselle.
