"One Slow Dance"
Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Well maybe Virgo 'cause I made her up.
"Morning." Grace walked over to the fridge and made herself a glass of orange juice.
"Good morning sweetie. Well, you're up early." Lily looked at her daughter with slight surprise.
"I guess I just couldn't stay in bed any more. And I'm meeting up with Virgo this morning."
Virgo was a transfer student at Graces' school. Her parents had just gotten a divorce so she moved from LA with her mother a few weeks ago. Long story short, Grace and Virgo had some classes together, got to talking, and pretty much formed a friendship over their similar situations.
"All right. How is she?" Lily had only seen Virgo once when she dropped Grace off at school. But that was only for a couple of minutes.
"She's fine." Grace said through a bite of a muffin.
"You should tell her to come over sometime. You never really bring your friends over anymore."
"I don't bring them over because they don't even make it through the kitchen without you playing twenty questions with them." Grace teased as she made her way to the door.
"Oh I do not." Lily said knowing her daughter was kidding, but she still sounded a little dejected.
Grace, noticing this, stopped and turned to face her mom. "I'll ask her if she wants to come over on Friday."
"Ask who to come over?"
Grace jumped a little at the voice that came from behind her. "God! Eli, could you please not do that?"
Eli grinned at Grace's reaction and put his hands on her shoulders, "Sorry Grace."
The way he whispered the words so softly in her ear made her tremble a bit. Eli had taken a seat at the table when Lily's voice brought her back to reality.
'The reality where I want him and I can't have him.'
"Grace's friend Virgo." Lily said, answering Eli's question.
"Virgo?" He said it like a question and started to smile. "So does that mean she's like-"
Grace stopped him, "No. If you must know, she's an Aquarius." She sighed finally sympathizing with Virgo.
'The poor girl probably had retards like Eli asking her that question all the time.'
"Oh come on Grace! I was just kidding." Eli said through giggles.
"Do you know how much you sound like a girl right now?"
Eli straightened up in his chair. He deepened hi voice, "No."
Grace laughed.
He loved it when she laughed, especially when he was the cause of it.
'Shit Eli! She's your stepsister. Knock it off.' He mentally scolded himself.
"Oh man I better go." Grace settled enough to notice the time.
"Is it time to go already?" Eli asked, getting up, him being the designated school-dropper-offer.
"I don't need a ride today E." Grace said heading for the door again. "I'm walking with Virgo."
"Are you sure? 'Because I could take her too, if you want?" Eli asked hoping he didn't sound too eager.
"Since when are you the happy cab driver?" Grace looked suspiciously at him.
'Um…I'll think of something. Hold on.'
Eli found his voice, "Um…"
Grace continued, "Well it's kind of out of the way. I mean won't Jessie or Zoë mind?"
"Jessie's getting a ride with Rick. It's take your daughter to work day for her class. And I can take Zoë." Lily informed them before going to wake Zoë.
"So what do you say Grace?"
"All right, lets go."
