Laundry day
See you there
Underthings
Tumbling
Want to say
Love your hair
Here I go
Mumbling
With my freeze ray
I will stop the world.
-My Freeze Ray, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog
Lily's POV
After lunch, work was extremely uneventful, just cataloging injuries. The weight and pressure of the concrete had broken most of the bones. Zack and I got to clean the bones, which was both revolting and interesting. Hodgins said that Zack had to fihiss way home after we finished unpacking. Truthfully, working at the Jeffersonian was the most fun I'd had in a long time.
Zack and I walked slowly to my apartment. It was nice and cold out, the cold stinging my nose. Our arms were linked together, bodies close, preserving our body heat. We held small conversations, about nothing in particular.
My phone vibrated in my pocket, scaring the crap out of me and Zack. "Sorry, hold on," I said to Zack, and then to the phone, "Allo?"
"SURPRISE! I'M COMING TO YOUR PLACE TONIGHT!" A particularly annoying voice squealed. Maria. God, Maria was a twenty-two year old brat, who was convinced everybody was her servant, and she was the center of the universe.
"Maria. No. I have company over tonight," I said, annoyed.
"LILLS!" She wined. "My boyfriend kicked me out, and I am REALLY sad right now." She pouted.
"No."
"Too bad!" She hung up.
"MARIA!" I put my phone away. "Zack, you don't have to come if you don't want to."
"Why wouldn't I?" He hooked his arm with mine and we walked dreadedly closer.
"My cousin insists on coming tonight."
"That sounded like you didn't prefer her company. I think I should go anyways, because I am your friend, and I could soften the blow of his or her presence."
I smiled. Dear Lordy, he was adorable. It would be good if he stayed over. "Okay." I rested my head on his shoulder.
When we got to the apartment, I made two large muggs of hot chocolate. I put around three million mini marshmallows in mine. Sipping my drink while leaning on the counter, I watched the door intensly.
The door swung open. Maria stood there, sadly. Her blond hair was streaked with pink, tied in a ridiculous bow. She wore a tight white tanktop, jean short-shoshorts, and pink flipflops. Holding around five bags, she glared at me. When sheease Zack her glare turned to a smile.
"You didn't tell me you had a boyfriend over." She said this trying to look 'sexy'.
"Zack isn't my boyfriend- Dammit." As soon as the words were out of my mouth, I knew exactly what she was doing. All she wanted was confirmation that he was single. I could see her smirk. What a bitch.
Zack looked extremely confused. "Yes, we were unpacking. Lillian informed me you may join our company." I nodded.
"Well, this place is... Cozy. Nice and little, but big for your budget, isn't it. While your in the kitchen, get me a lemonade," she said, sitting next to Zack on the sofa. Zack stiffened with fear. Oh God, he was adorable.
"Get it yourself." I sat on the floor, Zack did a spastic movement when Maria scooted closer.
She ignored me. "Zack, was it? What do you do?"
"I work at the Jeffersoinian with Lillian as an intern. I have agenius IQ and am working for a Doctorate in Forensic Anthropology." He said this quickly, shaking slightly.
"Ooh, I love smart boys."
No she didn't. She never loved anyone. Only herself. She was just a parasite, leeching off other people's accomplishments. A whore really, giving sex in exchange for money an a place to stay.
"R-really?" Zack stuttered.
What the balls? My jaw dropped. Zack Addy was being sucked in to her trap. It was so unlike him- he valued intelligence and personality over beauty. To Zack, intelligence was beauty. Nope. Nope, not gonna believe it.
"Maria," I said with a fake smile. "Could you join me in the kitchen?"
She reluctantly stood, grimacing.
I hopped up on the counter and said with my face in my hands. "Lay off Zach. You don't deserve him."
"Oooh, you LIKE him," she said, like a fifth grader. "Just because you want him, I'll make sure he falls for me."
"For God's Sake, just do this one favor."
"Isn't he the kid from the laundrymat?" She said, her eyes lighting up.
I slightly smiled. The first time I saw him was at the laundrymat in our hometown. I sort of stalked him, making sure I went on the same days as he did. Staring, not daring to talk to him.
"Yea.." I said under my breath.
"Great." She smiled wickedly.
Ooh, Maria, what will you do?
Sorry for updating late, I try to update on the weekend, but I couldn't get to do it in time.
