At a hotel in Vegas:
"Shit . " Lillian sighed . She knows when Shane can be serious and this time it was bad . She made her editor suffer too . Lillian hopped out the bed and took her laptop which she carries always . Just then a woman came out of the shower dressed in the bathrobe . She gave Lillian a look that said 'what the hell you are doing now?
"Ah…Lucy . I'm sorry babe . I really have to work right now . " The other woman was none other than a rookie model Lucy . Lillian met her at a fashion show and then soon they started dating . Lucy gets busy during fashion season and so she missed spending time with Lillian . That was the major reason for both of them to be in Vegas . It was Lucy's idea to spend the night without any distraction .
"I came back straight from a shoot . We came here on a private jet and booked this super master suite room so that no one could disturb us . And now you tell me that you're going to work . I believe your deadline's not tomorrow or the next day . "
"It was in this week . I almost finished it but, the boss wants me to complete it by tonight . I can't avoid it; it's from the top authority . "
"Top authority? Am I not top authority for you?"
However, the reality was harsh . It shoved work at Lillian's face . She was disappointed . Seeing her gloomy face, Lillian called her . When she approached the bed and sat next to her, Lillian kissed her on lips .
"I know that you wanted us to spend time together . But look at me . You know it's not my fault . "
"But…"
"It's alright . You just came back from a shooting right? Just give me tonight, I will finish my work and tomorrow the entire day, I'm yours . We could stay here in bed all day if you want… . . "
"Oh, please you're gonna sleep like a pig the entire day," Lucy spoke in disappointment .
"What, who said that? I can stay awake"
"For you"
Lucy knew the look Lillian had . It was definitely the one that says she can stay awake but however, end up snoring loudly .
"Do you remember when we went on our first date?"
"The first date, you say? Let me remember it!!! . " Lillian brushed her memory back to the day when she met Lucy . Once her memories are revived she started revealing the story .
"Hmm… . I met you in Paris for a fashion show . "
"And… . that weekend we went on a date . "
"Ah… . I remember we went to a local burger shop in the evening . Cuz the show ended around 5 Pm or –ish . "
"I still remember that it was your last show, so you were okay with burgers and stuff . "
"We ordered Jumbo twin burgers and Texas fries . . . and"
There was a huge pause . Lillian continued .
"I slept halfway eating . "
She looked ashamed . Lucy kept nodding to the story and then she started to speak up .
"It was our first date and I still remember that you wore a blue jean and a black top with a long coat, lousy attire . Your hair was down and you were clearly tired . I asked you to push back our first date but you still insisted on going . So we went to this local burger shop and ordered, yeah you said that . We were eating and I went out in the middle to attend this call . After I returned, what I saw?"
Lucy looked at Lillian with a fierce stare .
"I saw you leaning back on your seat snoring in your sleep with a half-eaten burger on your right hand . Everyone at that place was staring at you and I had to wake you up . But what happened?"
"No, the famous author Lillian Grey was snoring at a local burger shop and was refused to wake up . " I had to carry you back to the hotel . "
Lillian felt that the story was funny . She even smiled turning her head back to avoid eye contact .
"I know . I regret it . But please I was all resting up until now . So, tonight doesn't make a big deal . I can manage it very well . "
"Okay . Okay, I forgive you . Only because I'm little tired and since it was an order from the BOSS . Finish it soon . " She kissed Lillian once again . "Thank you, darling . Tomorrow I'm gonna shock you to your core . Until then, sleep well my queen . "
Lucy smiled at her greasy words .
"I love you"
"Love you more" Lillian sent flying kisses to her . Silly, Lucy still grabbed them anyways and went back to sleep .
