Lily's POV
I don't know how long I was in that small room for after my lawyer had left. I don't know how long the tears had kept on falling for. I just knew that once my tears had started to subside a little and my mind had started to become a little bit more clearer, I had to leave. I had to know where Kat was.
I picked up my bag and the file that my lawyer had left for me, grabbed my coat and left. I signed papers that needed to be signed, I spoke to someone who I needed to speak to before I was finally allowed to leave the Court.
It wasn't until I saw my mum and everyone standing outside waiting for me that I realised that I really was free and before I could say or even think of anything more, my mum pulls me into a tight, warm hug that I didn't know that I needed.
"Well done, baby girl. I knew they'd let you off. I'm so proud of you." She says to me as I feel her wet tears rubbing against my cheek.
"Thanks mum." I say as I look up at her and wipe my own tears away that had started to fall the moment I saw her. "I was so scared."
"I know you were, sweetheart. But you're here now. Safe, sound and free." She says as she pulls back to look at me properly and with her hand on my cheek. "And we're going to make sure that you'll never be put in that situation ever again, ok? I was just as scared of losing you."
I nod my head at her and then smile at my friends who also start to congratulate me at my win and all start to hug me.
I then turn to face Kaya who playfully slaps me on the arm. "Guess that proves that everyone really does love The Loveless then, hey?"
Laughing, I hug her. "That's because I'm too irresistible and flawless not to love."
"Pfft, whatever." She says as she pushes me away, but laughing still.
My smile, however, soon disappears as I see Megan and I sigh. "But I guess there are some who don't love me enough."
She shakes her head. "No, Lily. She does love you, you know she does. She probably just..." Her sentence slowly trails off.
"She probably just what, Megan?" I say, not really knowing myself. She just shrugs, not knowing herself.
Sighing, I shake my head but look up when she speaks again. "We tried looking for her but we couldn't find her anywhere. She also wouldn't answer her phone."
Panic immediately starts to shoot it's way across my body but Megan quickly puts her hand out to me. "No, don't worry. She's ok, she's just texted me." She smiles sadly. "It wasn't much, just said that she's okay and that she's happy that you were found not guilty as me and Kaya left her messages to let her know."
I snort. "Great."
I suddenly find myself angry with her for making everyone worry. Angry for running away in the first place. Exhausted from not just the long, draining day I've had but also tired from getting her back only to start losing her again. I'm also upset. Upset that even though she knows I've been let off, she still didn't come back.
So many questions and so many different feelings and emotions start to hit me all over again, along with a headache.
I'm not sure how to feel anymore. I just need to sleep and worry about everything when I wake up.
Sighing I turn to face mum again. "Can we go?" I ask.
"Of course we can, dear." She says as she pulls out her car keys and starts to walk towards the car.
"No." I say. "Can I drive?"
She stops and faces me, worried.
"I'll drop you off, don't worry. I just... I just want to be by myself for a bit and to drive myself back home."
Kaya looks at my mum and then back at me. "Let your mum drive you, yeah? Besides, she'll need her car for tomorrow. It's getting late as it is."
"Kaya's right, love. Let me drive, come on." She says as she turns to walk away again.
I shake my head, bemused. "The fuck?"
Megan laughs slightly as she guides me to the car. "Come on, Lily. You really do have a short memory span."
I frown at them all. "Oh my God. None of you trust me to drive anymore, do you?" I say, my anger starting to rise more and more. "I got drunk and made one, stupid mistake that I'll never make again in my entire life. I almost got thrown into prison so when I say I won't do it again, I'll make sure I'll never do it again."
Megan comes up to me, worry all over her face and with a soft voice, she puts her hands on my arms. "Lily... You had to hand in your driving license. You're banned from driving, remember?"
I look over at Kaya who smiles sadly at me. "It's not about trust issues, okay? We do trust you."
Shaking my head at my own stupidity, I look at my mum who motions with her head towards the car. "Come on, love. Let's get you home."
I stay there for a few minutes, watching Kaya and Megan get into the car.
Who were they trying to kid? Of course it's about trust still. And I still need some time to myself so I decide to go home by myself.
"Don't worry, mum." I say. "I'll just walk home." I leave her shaking her head at me as I walk away, ignoring their shouts and hearing my name being called. "Twats."
I'm even more exhausted then what I was before when I finally reach my apartment flat in Hackney. I had spent an hour walking through the dark streets of London, lost in my thoughts and trying to calm down my anger.
When I had finally reached my door, I'm left wanting nothing more but a nice, hot soak in the bath with a cool, crisp beer before going to bed and sleeping for Britain. After today, all my worries can wait until tomorrow.
However, when I unlock the door and walk in, I instantly wonder why the lights are on, let alone on low. I frown and go to turn them up full but instantly freeze when I hear a voice.
"Leave them."
That's the only words that I hear, nothing more and nothing less. Yet it keeps me frozen on the spot from hearing them.
After a few minutes, I notice that my hand is still hovering over the light switch and that I'm staring at it, frowning. I drop my hand and very slowly turn around and take a gulp, not believing what I'm seeing right in front of me.
She's here. She's really here.
Kathryn is stood in the middle of our living room, the mood lights down low and with what seems to be a picnic all over the floor. Blankets, food, drink and even some soft music is playing while candles flicker all around the room.
Yet, I still stand there, staring at her in a confused daze.
She drops her eyes to the floor, nervously playing with her hands.
With the thoughts and memories of what happened earlier today coming back into my mind and what with her being unable to look at me and talk, I sigh and walk over to the kitchen area. I drop my bag down, along with the files that my lawyer gave me, onto the table and get myself a glass of water. Neither one us speaking.
With my back turned against her, a million and one questions fire through me. The same questions that I've been trying to work out for the past hour when I'd been walking home.
Why did she leave? Why didn't she come back to the Courtroom? Why wasn't she there when I needed her the most? Why didn't she phone or even answer everyone's calls when they were trying to find her? Didn't she know that everyone would be worried, upset and angry with her?
Why the fuck is she here like this? Would she leave me again in the future?
I empty the glass and pop it into the sink before finally turning back round to face her and I see teary, terrified eyes staring back at me.
I hate that look on her face and I look away from her, not wanting it to haunt me.
"Megan and Kaya left me messages to let me know what had happened." She finally says. "I'm sorry I wasn't there."
I look up at her and sigh, "Yeah?" Shaking my head, I walk past her and head towards our bedroom. "So am I."
"What are you doing?" I hear her ask, worried. I stop to face her again.
"Unlike you, I'm not doing a disappearing act. I'm going to get changed out of these clothes and then we're going to talk." With that, I go into our room and close the door behind me. With my back leaning against it, I take a few moments to clear my head.
I eventually sigh and grab some fresh clothes, not wanting the smell of the Courtroom on me any longer.
After a few more moments of getting changed and sitting on the end of the bed, I decide that it's finally time to get some answers.
I need to know what has gotten into her. I need to know that I'm not going to be hurt again.
I open the door and walk out. Seeing her sitting on the edge of a sofa, I sigh and head towards her.
"Why did you go?" I ask before she has the chance to apologize or to make some sort of excuses to drag this out further.
She doesn't look up to me, but keeps her eyes to the floor. "I couldn't bear it."
I snort, not believing what I'm hearing. "You couldn't bear it? What about me? I needed you. I needed you to be strong for me. For me to see your face and to know that whatever was going to happen, it was still going to be okay, but you left. You got up and you left me there."
She finally looks up at me, tears rolling down her cheeks. "I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry." She says, her voice broken with her tears. "At first I was angry with you, for saying that you were guilty. Then I was frightened because you were saying that you were guilty for something that you weren't guilty of. Not intentionally anyway."
She shakes her head and looks away again. "Then I did what you do. I ran because I was scared."
I sit on the edge of my sofa, watching her tears fall from her eyes and I can't help but feel my own tears threatening to fall. I hate seeing her like this and I want to rush over and hug her, but I still can't help but feel angry with her.
"Why didn't you come back?" I ask, "Even when Kaya and your sister let you know that I was free, why didn't you come back?"
Kat shakes her head and looks up at me. "I was terrified of what might happen to you. I didn't want to see you get carted off to some nasty prison with you kicking and screaming. That's not what I wanted to see you like. If it was going to be the last time that I might ever see you for a while then I wanted it to be happier, with you saying that you loved me. That's why I left." She smiles sadly." Even though I was angry and terrified, seeing you say that you loved me was all that was needed to tip me over the edge. Before I knew what was happening, I got up and went."
I shake my head and turn away. I see a bottle of beer and pick it up.
"I know you're angry and upset with me, Lily, but what would you have done if it was the other way round?"
The bottle is about to touch my lips but stops.
"You would have ran too, I know you. You would have done the exact same."
I bite my lip and drop the bottle down. She's right. She's always fucking right.
"Only you would have ran and ran and never would had stopped running. Or," She pauses as she nods her head towards the beer bottle in my hand, "Or you would of gone straight to the nearest place that sells drink." I look towards her but she just shakes her head, "And don't try and deny it."
I swallow hard at the fact that she's knows me so well now and that everything she said was true. I put the bottle on the floor and face her again. I was angry with her and now I'm only angry with myself.
"Ask me where I went." She says. I frown at her but she just repeats herself, her eyebrow raising. "Ask me where I went."
"Where did you go?" I ask frowning, suddenly wanting to know and wondering why I never thought of that instead of being angry at the thought she had left.
She smiles sadly. "I ran straight back to the place where it all started. I thought I had fallen in love with you before, but this place will always be special to me because it was there that I knew I was in love with you." She bites her lip, "I was so happy that day and relaxed that I wanted to go back."
She smiles even wider when she sees the blank expression on my face. "You really are an idiot at times, you know that?"
Even though I'm frowning, I slightly smile at her when she says that.
Kat raises her eyebrow and has that adorable, quizacle look on her face. "You said that it was your perfect date."
I'm still frowning as I look at her, trying hard to think on where she went when suddenly a huge smile breaks out across my face when it suddenly hits me. It's been staring at me in the face the whole time.
She smiles back and walks over to me. When she's near she simply puts her hand out for me to take.
I look up at her. I can't believe I was so angry with her and thought it was all over that I didn't think about how it would have been affecting her. How she would have been feeling.
And yet, she went straight to the place that makes her feel so calm and relaxed. The place that brings back happy memories of us and I'm suddenly filled with happiness again too.
I've had what could be the worst day of my life. I almost faced prison and thought I had lost my girl. But really, although I'm still getting punished for what I did, which is fair, I've won. I'm free and I'm still here with my girlfriend.
My amazing, beautiful girlfriend, who even though she couldn't bear to see me scared, she went to the place where we were both happy and loved up. She was still thinking of me and that's the main thing. She was still with me in one way or another.
And now she's here, right in front of me with her hand outstretched waiting for me to grab hold of it. Which I do. And with a smile on my face.
"You went back to Richmond Hill." I say as she walks me over to the blankets where she's laid a huge picnic with drinks, food and candles.
She sits me down and I look all around me. I can't help but feel the tears finally fall as I see a small champagne bottle next to a take-away pizza and a small heart shaped cake. She had recreated everything from that day in our small living room.
She sits down in front of me and just one look into her eyes and I know that I'd probably forgive her for anything and I think she knows it.
"I was sitting there for hours, worrying and wondering what the hell was going on. But I couldn't go back there. I know it was cruel of me to do that, but the longer I sat there, the better I felt. And you know what?" She asks, smiling.
I shake my head and shrug my shoulders.
"I knew that you would be set free to go. I don't know how or why, I just knew. Then a little while afterwards I got Megan and Kaya's messages. You were indeed set free. With punishment of course, but you were free."
She grabs my hand. "I know you'd be angry with me but I know you still love me. So instead of going straight to the Court to meet you when you came out, I done some shopping and came straight back here. To our home."
I bite my lip as she looks around the room at the little recreation of what she's made for me.
"I came back to remind you how much I love you, no matter how much I might be afraid or terrified of you I might be at times. That although I might do some stupid things, I'll still come back. I'll always come back."
She smiles at a thought she's obviously had when she goes quiet for a few moments. "You took me to Richmond Hill that day because you thought that I needed "cheering up." You most definitely done that. I went back there today because of the same reason and it worked. So," She signals with her hand at the picnic and candles, "I thought that I'd bring that Richmond Hill date to you. To cheer you up and make you fall in love with me all over again."
I giggle at her. I can't help it. "I was always in love with you, no mater how angry I was, dopey."
She smiles at me shyly, making her even more adorable then she already is. "Really?"
I laugh, "Yes!" Once my little giggles stop, I turn serious again. "I'm really sorry too." I say, taking her hand in mine. "Sorry for making you feel like that in the first place. And for being stupid when I got in that car else none of this would have happened. Also, I'm sorry for being angry when you left and-"
Before I have the chance to finish my ramblings, a pair of soft, warm lips are on mine.
After just a few seconds, they pull away and I open my eyes to find my favorite pair of brown, glittering eyes staring back at me.
"You also always know how to always shut me up." I say with a smile on my face as I wrap my arms around her.
"Promise me something?" I ask.
She smiles, "Anything."
I bite my lip as I look at her before talking again. "Promise me that whenever we argue or fight, which I hope we won't or at least do it much, but... Promise me that if you need to run, to just get away for a bit, to be by yourself, that you'll go to Richmond Hill?"
She looks at me, slightly frowning.
"If you don't want to see me because you're angry with me for whatever reason, promise me you'll go there? Because then I know where you are and I won't be too worried about you. I know that you'll be safe and in a way, still near me."
She smiles and I pull her a little closer to me, our foreheads touching as I softly rub my nose with hers as I whisper, "And I promise to do the same when I want to run away and hide."
Kat pulls me into her completely and rests her head on my shoulder. "I promise." She whispers back, her breath tickling my neck.
We stay like that for a few more moments. Both of us enjoying one another's company and being happy at finally forgiving one another and knowing that we're going to be absolutely fine in the future. As long as we have each other, we'll have nothing to worry about.
I smile as I look around the room again, at the effort that she put into everything. I'm suddenly amazed at what she would do to remind me of how much she loves me.
"Thank you." I say, whispering in her ear.
"What for?" She says, not moving from her spot on me. Obviously liking the cosiness and comfort.
I motion to the whole room. "For this. It's lovely."
"There is one more thing." She says as she gets up and smiles at me before walking over to the iPod dock on the side.
Staying where I am on the floor, I watch her and frown as she looks for a song. "What are you up to, Miss. Prescott?"
She turns back round and slowly walks up to me, a slight mischievous look in her eyes. She still doesn't say anything as she gently takes hold of my hands and pulls me up to her.
I frown as I stand and put my arms around her, her's going round my neck before she slowly starts to sway along to the music.
"Do you remember that one time I sang to you?" She asks.
I bite my lip as a way to try and hide my smile as I remember that night. "How could I forget?"
She laughs slightly before clearing her throat and looking into my eyes again. "I sang it as a way to let you know what you meant to me. And to see how you felt about me too."
I nod. "I know." I kiss her on her forehead, "And it worked."
She smiles shyly at me but then giggles. "I was so nervous."
I giggle along with her, "I never would have guessed by the amount you drank before you got up onto that stage."
Playfully pushing me slightly at my little joke, she never keeps her eyes off of me as the song she went to choose finally comes on. And I smile at her as she starts to sing it softly to me. Her soft, husky voice putting Avril's to shame and making her look and sound even more sexy.
Lala, Lalala, Loveless...
I like your smile
I like your vibe
I like your style
But that's not why I love you
And I, I like the way
You're such a star
But that's not why I love you
Hey
"I could say the same back to you." I say to her. "You're absolutely beautiful. And perfect."
"Just like you." She replies as we hold one another and sway to music in the middle of the room. The candle light making it feel even more amazing.
I smile as she rests her face against my chest and I gently kiss the top of her head. "I take it that this is most definitely our song, then?"
"Yes, I think it is." She giggles.
"Good. Because it's perfect and every word is true."
She looks up to me, her stunning brown eyes starring back into my blues ones. A soft smile on her oh so kissable lips. "I don't think I could ever imagine being without you. We've been through so much and I really am I very much in love with you."
I bite my lip at her cuteness and I find that I can't take my eyes off of her. She really is beautiful. "Me neither. You're definitely stuck with me for the future, LLP." I say before giving her cheeky wink.
She giggles even more as she shakes her head. "Shut up you and come here."
Smiling, she brings my head down and leans up to me. My lips finally meet hers and I taste the sweet taste of cherry on her lips that I crave and love so much.
Do you feel, do you feel me?
DO YOU FEEL WHAT I FEEL TOO?
Do you need, do you need me?
Do you need me-e-e?
You're so beautiful
But that's not why I love you
I'm not sure you know
That the reason I love you is you
Being you
Just you
Yeah the reason I love you is all that all we've been through
And that's why I love you.
"Our pizza will be getting cold." Kat says through our kisses.
"I don't care about that." I reply whilst stealing another kiss from her lips. "I'm only interested in you."
Receiving the most, amazing, perfect smiles I've seen, she whispers, "Hm, good answer."
Before she has a chance to say or do anything else, I bend down to the floor and pull her down to me. My hand still in hers as she lays on top of me, her thigh slipping between mine and our bodies fitting together perfectly. Her tongue slowly creeps along the bottom of my lip and I let her enter my mouth, moaning into our kiss as it becomes even more intense and passionate. With my free hand, that's not pinned to the floor above my head, I gently stroke the soft, warm bare skin of her back under her top and I can't help but smile with her when I feel her smiling into our kiss.
All bad thoughts and everything that had happened earlier in the day are soon forgotten about as I arch my back up towards her, the moment I feel her tongue and sweet, soft kisses move along my jawline before slowly turning into warm, loving kisses moving even further down my neck.
We're both so lost in the moment that we jump with fright and freeze when we suddenly hear someone cough out loud in the room.
"What the fu-" I stop when my muddled up brain starts to register a very amused Kaya, whose standing near the front door, trying not to laugh at the sight of us on the floor together.
"You're faces right now are priceless!" She says between fits of laughter.
I fall back to the floor and try to calm my beating heart, let alone my breathing as Kat cuddles into me. The sigh I hear that tickles my neck tells me that she too, is rather annoyed by the interruption.
"How long were you there for?" I finally ask.
"Not long. Just a few minutes."
She must have noticed the horrified expression on my face as she tuts. "Oh for goodness sake Lily, I weren't going to wait until you two had stripped one another naked before letting yous know that I was here, was I?"
I raise an eyebrow at her, knowing her better then anyone.
"Well, ok. Who knows what would have happened if..." She suddenly shakes her head to stop herself from saying or even thinking of anything more. "Anyway, the point is, you both know I'm here now so I'll go disappear and we can forget that I almost saw a shag fest on the living room floor in front of my very eyes and that the image will forever scar my poor little-"
Laughing, Kat stops her from talking, "What is it you want, Kaya? I know there's something."
I look at her and frown before facing Kaya again who looks to the floor nervously then back up to me. "Well, there is something I want to ask..."
"What is it? Are you okay?" I ask, almost starting to get worried.
She smiles and nods. "Yeah, I'm fine it's just..." She shrugs and settles her bag on the floor and removes her jacket. "There's this festival that I really want to go to and even Jack's going to it."
Kat looks at me with the same confused look as I have and I shrug at her. "And? What about it?" Kat asks when we look back.
"Well I have the tickets, just not anyone to go with."
I smile and nod, "Oh, so you want to ask us to keep you company, do you?" I ask, raising an eyebrow.
She bites her lip and looks at Kat before her eyes land on mine. A look in them that I can't quite work out. "Kind of."
I sigh. "Kaya, you're not making much sense right now and as you noticed, I was kind of in the middle of something and-"
Before I have the chance to finish, she cuts me off. "I want you to come with me, Lily."
I stare at her for a few minutes before looking at Kat, frowning. Unsure if I heard her correctly. My eyes land back onto her's when she speaks again.
"I brought two tickets. One for me and one spare but no one else can make it. I thought that maybe you would come with me?"
I shake my head in utter belief. "Why me?"
She smiles at me. "Well because you're one of my best friends and that your favourite bands will be performing too..."
"Like?" I ask, a small smile starting to play on my lips with excitement as she starts to tease me.
"Oh, you know... The Arctic Monkeys, Florence + The Machine, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers..."
"Oh my God, Lily! You have to go!" Kathryn says to me, getting excited on my behalf.
I shake my head, "But what about you? I can't just go and leave you for days. Not now. Not after all of this."
She just shakes her head at me whilst taking my hand in hers. "Baby, it'll be good for you. And besides, you'll be with Kaya so I know you'll be ok."
"She's right. I'll take extremely good care of you." I hear Kaya say.
I glance at her then smile at Kat, "You sure you don't mind?"
"Of course I don't mind." She says as she places a gentle kiss on my cheek.
"O...kay" I say before facing Kaya again. "Okay, I guess it seems like you have yourself a Festival buddy!"
Kaya smiles and raises an eyebrow, "And a tent buddy!" She adds with a cheeky wink before grabbing a beer off the side.
"A, a what?" I say, confused and dazed in my thinking and what she said.
"Oh," She flaps her hand around, "As long as your girlfriend doesn't mind me letting you share a tent with me for 3 nights as well, that is."
Kaya quickly looks over at Kat, whose too busy laughing to notice the slight flirtatious remarks and smirks that she's been giving me.
"Oh no, definitely no problem there, Kay. Be my guest." Kat says whilst giggling into my side.
"Good." She says before I have time to say anything of my own. Even though I can't think of anything as thoughts of me and Kaya in a tent at a festival, drunk in a field together, begin to fill my head up.
I wouldn't ever think of Kaya like that before. Definitely not. But with the looks she keeps throwing my way, it's adding to my confusion.
"That's settled then."
I shake off the thoughts when I feel Kat cuddle even further into me. I look down at her and smile. No, I definitely wouldn't think anything like that when I have this stunning beauty in my arms.
With that, I clear my throat and ask what Kaya's up to while we watch her potter around the kitchen area of my apartment.
"I was just going to get something quick to eat then go bed." She spins round to face us and smiles. "But seeing as you two seem very comfy there together, I guess I should really leave. I wouldn't want to outstay my welcome or anything."
Slightly puzzled, I look around the room then the realisation hits me.
"I'm so sorry, Kaya. We'll go to our bedroom if you want to get some sleep."
Kat nods. "I didn't think. Sorry, Kay. We'll clear this lot up so you can have the sofa and everything back."
She comes over whilst sipping her beer. "No, really it's fine. You don't need to do that. It must have took you ages to set up, Kat."
I watch as Kathryn looks around at her makeshift picnic and candle's and slightly nods to herself. Noticing how much it had all meant to Kat and wanting us to enjoy every moment of it together, just like how she would have wanted, I smile and face Kaya again.
"I'll tell you what," I say, "You can have our room for the night. Might also give you a bit of a break from sleeping on the sofa too."
Kaya looks between me and Kat. "Are you sure?"
Kat nods in agreement. "It's a great idea. You go and have a good nights sleep. I bet that old sofa hasn't been kind to you for letting you do that."
She smiles. "Not really, but after a few beers, sleep soon comes."
I laugh. "Go on. Go and sleep in our room for the night. We don't mind." As she opens her mouth to speak, I cut her off. "And before you ask, yes, the sheets were freshly changed this morning."
"Thank you." She says whilst smiling happily and as she picks up her things and her beer.
"You're welcome." I say, before laying back down, beside Kat.
"Sure you don't want to go in there first though?" She adds, just before she leaves the room. "You know, get any 'toys' you might want to sleep with tonight?" She says, laughing her head off.
"Kaya!" I scream in sudden shock whilst grabbing hold of a cushion that's near me and chucking it at her, "Get to your room!"
Kathryn, whose turned an adorable shade of scarlet, watches Kaya as she skips off to our room, still laughing at her own joke and at our slight embarrassment.
"Good night, girls!" She says over her shoulder and with an added wink.
Once the door closes, I breathe a sign of relief and settle back down with Kat whose already moving herself back into my open arms.
"Thank God for that." She says, sighing to herself. "I've finally got you all to myself again-"
"Oh, I almost forgot." Kaya says, cutting off Kat, as the bedroom door opens wide and all you can see is a half naked Kaya standing right there in front of us. "I'm moving back to my own flat tomorrow. Thought that now you have Lily all safe and sound, you'll want your place back, so..."
I stare at her eyes and try to keep my eyes on her and on nothing but her eyes.
"Aw, Kaya." I hear Kat say.
"Well, because of that and also because of my boyfriend has finally finished filming his film so he's coming back home too." She say whilst smiling that brilliant white smile of hers.
I clear my throat. "Oh course, yeah, he's back, isn't he?"
Kathryn nudges me before talking to Kaya once more. "Well, we'll help you move back in and then have lunch later on tomorrow, if you like?"
Still smiling, she nods her head. "Sounds like a plan. See you both in the morning then. Night" And with that, the door closes. And the half naked form of Kaya disappears from sight.
"Perfect." Kat says as she leans over me. "I have both you and our little cocoon back."
It pulls me out of my hazy daze and I start giggling at her. "A cocoon? Are you serious?"
Laughing with me, she agrees. "Yes, a cocoon. You know, our home?"
"I know what you meant, idiot." I reply, still slightly laughing at her adorable cuteness. "Come back here, you." I say, opening my arms back out for her to settle back into. "'Cocoon' yourself back here."
Smiling and shaking her head, she lays back onto me and I kiss the top of her head. "Thank you for all this again. It really is lovely and perfect." I say, while looking over the room, at what she had created, before pulling a blanket over the top of us. "I love you."
"I love you too." She replies whilst placing a soft, tender kiss in the crook of my neck where her head is gently laying.
Both of us finally alone and happy at just being cuddled up together, in and on the blankets on the floor, listening to the music coming from the iPod dock that was still playing on the side. All thoughts from this morning finally gone.
You know I never want to let you down
It cuts me up to see you sad
And I wish that I could undo what I've done
Give back the faith in me you had.
Oh yeah, Oh yeah.
We stayed up for a little while longer after Kaya had gone to bed, just talking and fooling around. Kathryn laying on top of me, both of our legs in between each others and us playing around like we always do. The sound of GOTYE coming through the speakers, occasionally reminding me of what I've got as I let my thoughts drift off.
You know I love you more than anyone
But I get a little wrapped up in myself
But you know I never want to do you wrong
Bring into question what we have.
As our conversations and mess abouts start to die down, Kat whispers up into my ear, "Can I have a kiss?"
It's so unexpected, I just smile and lightly kiss her on her cheek with a quick look over towards the bedroom door. "Wait until Kaya is asleep." I whisper back to her.
She nods and smiles back in agreement with me whilst carrying on cuddling into me as we waited. As we waited, my eyes kept on drifting back towards the bedroom door and to Kaya. And to how she had acted towards me earlier this evening.
After what had felt like a small while, Kat's soft, husky voice broke into my thoughts. "Lily? Are you awake?"
Keeping my eyes closed and without responding, I heard her giggle before I felt her turn her head and kiss my cheek.
"Where was that, sleepy head?" I heard her teasingly ask me.
"Hmm, my cheek." I say whilst smiling flirtatiously, even though I still keep my eyes closed.
I then feel another soft kiss, only this time it's even closer to my lips, and again I hear, "Where was that?"
I try to keep my smile from her adorableness as I hear her giggling. But I can't help myself when I feel her go to kiss me for a third time, only this time it's closer and I quickly turn my head and our lips finally meet.
With our lips softly moving together, it's not long before she can't get enough of the sweet vanilla taste of them that I know she loves, and she soon starts to suck and lick my bottom lip. Slowly sliding her tongue in to meet mine.
A sudden thought is pushed into my mind. Before I know what I'm doing, I quickly pull away from her to check if the bedroom door was still shut. It is and I hope that Kaya is fast asleep.
However, my thoughts of Kaya from behind the door are soon forgotten again the moment I feel Kat's warm hand moving up the back of my shirt and slowly moving back down the sides of my back and stomach whilst she softly bites and licks my ear and neck. I'm soon distracted and roll her over so I'm straddling her, my mouth meeting hers again and our tongue's playing with each others. She tastes so good and the feeling is overwhelming.
When Kat had left the Courtroom this morning and didn't come back, I never thought I would ever get to do this again. I thought I had lost the one girl who I have ever loved. And yet here we. And I'm definitely going to make it last...
Oh yeah
I know I let you down
I know I let you down
But you're giving me a chance.
I'm going to be honest here and say that I don't like this chapter. I'll blame it on working 62 hours, 6 days straight every single week and being incredibly tired. I'll also use that same excuse for not updating sooner. However, from the end of March, you'll be getting updates a lot, LOT quicker as I've a new job, yay! So you may have a new chapter every single weekend. Good times.
I'll now explain the LLP that I used in the fic... Someone asked on Kat's chat part on her forum of her blog, "Some of us follow Ana Marie Ramos on Twitter, and we saw that you sent Lily a message saying, "Love from your LLP, Kat xx" If it's not too personal, could you tell us what LLP means?"
She replied with, "It's a nickname me and Lily have for each other."
Save to say that the fangirl in me went crazy at reading that, haha. But what do YOU think LLP means?
Lily's Little Prescott, Lily's Little Person… I'd love to hear your ideas in a review to make us all laugh and smile. I might even use your idea in the future ;)
Thank you for all of your reviews, they really do cheer me up and help me write after a tough day :)
Karin left a review saying that Kat had read this fic... ? Just wondering if you could tell me more as you don't know how much I freaked out after reading that! And thank you for letting me know x
