Wanted: Sleep

The steady sound of the alarm clock on the nightstand rang through the silence of Lilly's room.

The girl groaned while hitting the little silver button to make the noise, having woken her up from a very deep sleep, stop.

It was 7:15, so she had had a little less than four hours of sleep due to her having come home from the party around 3:20 in the early morning. After having arrived at the apartment, she had changed her outfit, washed her face to get off the make-up and then, she had also brushed her teeth, therefore, she had gone to bed at 3:30 or even a little later.

"I hate it",she muttered with a pout into her soft cushion, "I don't wanna get up. Too early."

The girl tossed around angrily, glaring at the white ceiling.

"But I have to",she whined, unwilling to leave her warm and comfortable bed. Actually, if it was an ordinary Saturday morning, she would not have to get up so early, yet, this was not just another ordinary Saturay morning. Usually, on Saturdays, the work at Tej's Garage began at ten o'clock. Today, work began at eight o'clock, at least for Marco, Diego and Lilly. It was because of the new auto parts that had been delivered to Rodrigo's yesterday. Roderigo owned a shop a little outside of Miami, although shop was a great understatement, it was indeed more of a market. He had always about two hundred cars standing on his ground, ready to be sold at prices which could be considered fair. To Roderigo's, there also belonged the so called pipeline. The pipeline was a street he had wanted to be built as a part of his market, it was exactly two miles long and as wide as a runway. There, one could truly test the high speed of a car!

Anyways, for Tej, it was way cheaper to have his new parts delivered there than directly to his garage, so, two times a month, usually the second and the last Saturday, there was a new delivery waiting at Roderigo's to be fetched by members of the crew. The ride to Roderigo's lasted about fourty minutes, the ride back to Tej's longer because of the crew driving slower with the parts on the truck. Due to Tej wanting the work to start almost immediately when the garage opened, two people of the crew would have to drive to Roderigo's at eight o'clock in the morning.

Two, Lilly thought while getting out of her bed and shuffling into the bathroom, two people to drive the trucks, yet, I gotta be there, too. Okay, it's actually not that bad, the drive's usually lots of fun and it's not like Tej sends always the same persons, except for me, I always gotta go. The second Saturday, Jimmy and Alex drive, the last, Marco and Diego. How do I fit into this? Cause I was stupid enough to bargain over the price with Roderigo the first time I went there together with the guys! You should have kept your mouth shut, Lilly! Now, Tej always wants me to go to haggle some with Roderigo. So, I can get him down to give us, like, a twenty or thirty per cent discount, but that's only because he knows just as well as I do that the parts ain't worth more. Everybody with eyes can see that, so why does Tej need me to go there?! I wanna sleep, for fuck's sake! Hell, I'm such a cry baby! Was it me who wanted to stay at the party till three o'clock? Yeah, so stop the complaining already!

Stripping of her clothes, the girl did not even bother to put them neatly somewhere on the shelves or on the washing machine, instead, she threw them right onto the tiled floor only covered by a light blue bathmat. In the bath tub, she shut the shower curtains before turning on the water, a hot shower was exactly what she needed right now.

Fifteen minutes later, the blonde stood in front of the mirror in their bathroom, brushing her long damb hair. She had wrapped herself up in a big dark green towel they always kept near the bath tub. Lilly's was a dark green and Brian's a dark blue, only to avoid arguing, of course. While trying to fight the brush she was holding in her right hand through her thick hair, the girl began to reflect on the events of the last night, or better yet, this morning.

The party really was fun, I'm glad I went there, even though Shonna and Lissa talked me into joining volleys. But they're right, I guess. I'm already practising together with the team, everything that would be extra are some games during the season and that's it.......................and it works better for me than cheering, although cheering is really strenuous. One should never underestimate how fit a cheerleader's gotta be, their grades have to be good, too, otherwise they get kicked out of the team. I wonder how Anders manages to stay in the football team, then. I bet his dad is pulling some strings for him. Somehow, I feel sorry for such people, cause without anybody's help, they'd be, like, nothing, yet, they pride themselves with 'their' achivements. That's so pathetic in a way. Fuck, I should have left earlier than three o'clock, I'll never survive this day! But Josh was so sweet when he walked with me outside, he's really cute. I'll have to tell the others about him some time, Marisa always likes to hear me talking about boys I like, she says I always look so happy, then. Sugar, Mona and Lola will just tease me, but that's okay, they're doing it in a nice way and not to hurt me or anything. They'd never do that. Will's gonna ask questions over questions and Tony, well, he'll just remind me of Nico. Nico aka the only guy I ever met that's absolutely perfect in each way! However, he's out of reach, I guess. Why would he ever want me, when he can have every woman he wants? Woman's the key word here. I'm merely some little 16-year-old, no experience with guys at all, except maybe for Jesse, yet, with him it was only kissing, never more. Nico's not gonna be interested in a stupid virgin hanging out with him. He just sees me as some kind of kid sister, I think, everybody does that. Well, everybody except Spike and V, of course. The one time Spike kissed me was because we had lost a bet, so we had to tongue each other for five minutes. Evidently, we're 'allowed' to do that in the ladies' room of Falls, so I didn't think he'd really wanna do it once we were inside a cabin, but he insisted on it. I gave in because I had drunk a little beforehand and 'fuck' he's a great kisser! In the end, we spend about twenty minutes in there. The one time when V and I kissed was pretty much the same. It was the first time I ever kissed a woman like that. We were both a little drunk, however, I can still remember everything, so I did not have too much alcohol at that time. We went together into the ladies' room of the V.I.P.e, we were actually planning on using the toilet for what it's meant for, but there were so many girls waiting for a free cabin that V and I just decided to share one, once it was free. I did what I had to do and so did V, yet, afterwards, she flipped down the toilet seat, sat down on it and pulled me onto her lap. The moment she looked at me and said 'c'mere', hell, everything her eyes were saying was 'come and let me fuck you'. I even think it would have happened, if I hadn't stopped in time. It was the throbbing between my thighs that made me stop, I guess, because I know its meaning. I just..............I wanna experience to what this throbbing leads when I'm together with someboy I really love. V and Spike are my friends, somehow like siblings, to them, it would have been nothing serious, merely an adventure, but I want more, I want...........................love. No wonder, I'm still a virgin. Oh, well, I might find the right person one day, if it was only for the searching not being so hard!

She turned her head around to have a look at the little alarm clock standing on the middle shelf. It showed 7: 42.

Fuck! I gotta be there at eight and I'm so not ready, yet!! I still gotta pack my bag, dry my hair, dress! Okay, dressing's not that much of a problem. The less I'm wearing the easier Roderigo agrees on giving me a discount, but I need at least ten minutes to dry my hair! Shit! Okay, hurry now, no more brooding!

Putting the brush on the lower shelf, the girl picked up her clothes lying on the floor while throwing the towel she was wearing back onto its hook. Completely naked and with wet hair, she hurried into her room, grabbed a tampon from the box on her nightstand, unwrapped it from its film and shoved it carefully up her vagina.

I hate it! I can only use 'mini', whereas everybody else seems to be getting along with 'normal'. Well, Sugar said everything would become wider once I had sex.

Then, Lilly opened her wardrobe, took out an orange thong, light blue stone washed low-rider jeans, of course, they were boot cut, a black bra, a white neck holder bikini top and a sleeveless black belly bearing shirt. She threw the bra on the bed and put on the bikini top, the thong, the top and eventually the jeans. Knowing that there was no time for drying her hair, she opened the wardrobe a second time to take out a white baseball hat with black outlines and the letters L and A also in black on the front.

Lilly twisted up her hair to put the damb mass underneath the hat before fixing it with several white bobby pins. Having grabbed a pair of white sneaker socks from the wardrobe, the girl pulled them over her feet and then went to pack her work bag. She literally threw her bra, her cell phone, her iPod Mini and some money in there. After having done so, she got her make-up from the bag she had taken with her to the party. Running into the bathroom, Lilly quickly brushed her teeth, afterwards, she put on her make-up, knowing what an influence it had on guys, so that it was most possible that Roderigo would give in even easier to her wanting a discount. Fortunately, the nail polish on her fingernail had still not faided away.

Being done with her make-up, Lilly rushed back into her room, packed her make-up into her bag as well and searched for her shoes: the old, completely worn out sneakers having formerly been white, but that were now slightly gray. She guessed they would fall apart very soon.

Looking at her alarm clock, the blonde saw that it was already 7:54.

I may be fast, but not fast enough! Okay, deo, and out of here!

The deodorant she used today was Orange Vanilla, then, she reached for her bag on the bed and while leaving her room, the girl still managed to rub the fat tummy of he Buddha figure on her lower shelf.

Of course, the door of their apartment had been locked by Brian after they had come home, therefore, Lilly cursed when trying to find her keys in her bag, realizing that they were in the other bag, so, she went back into her room, only to return with the keys a few seconds later. Locking the door again from the outside, Lilly sped downt he stairs, hoping that she would not be late. There were several things the girl hated, one of them was coming too late. She thought of it as extremely impolite.

Don't we all just 'love' morning sports, she thought sarcastically to herself as she jogged down the street to Tej's Garage. The blonde actually liked doing sports in the morning, if she felt like doing them and right now, she would have preferred to lie in her bed.

Hell, I would have preferred to have breakfast or at least something to drink!

Half a mile later, after lots of inner swearing because of neither having eaten, nor drunk anything, nor wearing the right underwear to jog, Lilly finally arrived at Tej's, where Diego and Marco where already standing next to two of Tej's five trucks, obviously waiting fo her.

"Sorry for being late",she told them, "I got up too late, I guess."

Diego merely whistled. "I like that new look",his dark eyes sparkled, "you could always come to work like that."

"What you mean?"Lilly frowned, although being used to Diego complimenting on her looks every now and then.

"I'd say, he's talking about your face",Marco smiled, "he's right, though. You look hot."

"Oh, that's nothing",she grinned. Once again, she had the proof that, if she was wearing make-up, guys would react positively to it. "I just thought it'd be easier to get a discount, then."

"So, let's roll",Marco said while opening the driver's door of the metallic blue Chevrolet, "and you're not too late",he assured the girl.

"And even if you were, you're worth waiting for",Diego added, also getting into the cinnamon pearl coloured truck.

"You're riding with me",the Italian told her, pushing the passenger's door open from the inside, "I can't trust Diego when you look so good."

"I'd never do anything to her",the Spanish argued, before grinning widely, "I'm a good boy."

"I know that",Lilly laughed, "I'll be riding with you on the way back, okay?"

"Okay",the man muttered, acting as though being sad while the girl got onto the passenger's seat next to Marco who was letting the engine rev.

"So",the man asked her, "how's your party? Brian all right?"

"The party was great",she smiled lightly, "and, strangely enough, Brian was really cool when he picked me up. I mean, I showed one of the guys, who had walked out together with me, Rome's stereo system cause he's such a big fan of those and then, Rome let me drive him home, his arm and all, ya know? So, when we came, home, Brian was really cool, he didn't say anything, just asked me, if I had fun and wished me a good night. I truly didn't expect him to react like that, cause, well, he's usually a lot more.................cop, asking questions 'n stuff. I thought it was pretty great of him not to do that this time, he's actually been more like the cool older brother than the mother hen."

Marco cracked a laugh, enjoying her calling Brian a mother hen.

"One of the guys guided you outside, then?"He raised his eyebrows.

"It was not like that",Lilly protested, "we just happened to leave at the same time, that's all."

"If you say so",Marco teased, "when did you come home, if it was so much fun?"

"I's home around 3:15 and in bed, well, 3:30, I guess",she shrugged.

"Hell, you must be tired, then",he looked at her, a warm gleam in his dark eyes, "ya can crash till we're there, I don't want you falling asleep during work."

"Is that really good with you? Cause, I'd be so fucking grateful for only another half an hour of sleep."

"If it wasn't good with me, I wouldn't tell ya to crash, so do that, already."

"Oh, mile grazie, Marco, ti amo. Sei il mio favorito, veramente",she grinned all over her face.

"Allora, dormi",he told her.

Lilly unfastened her seat belt to make herself comfortable on the passenger's seat. The front seat consisted of only one couch, so that the girl could pull her legs up while her back was resting against the inner door. She laid her head on the backrest and closed her eyes, enjoying the slight rocking being caused by the running engine.

Soon, she had fallen asleep.

Marco switched on the radio at a low volume, careful not to disturb the sleeping girl.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Lilly",a soft voice said, while the girl felt something nudging her right calf gently, "we're almost there, c'mon, alzarti."

"Mmmm",Lilly pulled her legs closer to her body, cuddling herself deeper into the backrest.

"Wake up, already",Marco ran an affectionate hand over her knee, "ya can sleep some more on the ride back, okay? Now, c'mon, we'll be there in a coupla minutes."

Lazily, the blonde cracked one of her ice blue eyes open to look at the man sitting next to her.

"Sleep?"She tried with a pleading voice.

"So, you're awake",he grinned, "ya look cute when ya sleep, ya know?"

"So, lemme sleep some more",Lilly whined, although knowing that it was useless. Marco might be the one allowing her practically everything, yet, he was also the one being able to make her do things only by treating her so gently as though she was a little princess.

"Not now",his deep voice held a smile in it, "you can do that on the ride back and once we're back at Tej's, I'll give ya some coffeine to keep ya awake, alright?"

"I guess",she mumbled, "but neither Coke nor Pepsi nor anything, please. Can we stop on our way back at Starbuck's, maybe? I'd give anything for a proper Latte Macchiato with vanilla molasses."

"Good idea, I'd need some as well to keep my spirits up."

"Since when are you up?"Lilly asked, stretching herself a little.

"Since five",the Italian told her.

"Since five!?"Ice blue eyes widened in shock. "Why the hell would anybody get up that early on a Saturday morning!?"

"I was at the gym before work. I like it better when I can do my exercises without anybody disturbing me", Marco shrugged wiht his muscular shoulders, "on Saturday mornings, the gym's usually close to empty. And aren't you the one going to your ballet class every Sunday morning?"

"Okay, point taken",the girl yawned, then, she began to roam through her bag in search for the little mirror she kept in there. Having found the small item, she flipped it open to check her looks. Fortunately, her make-up was still in place, now, everything she would have to do was to take off her top and the thirty per cent discount was as good as safe.

Marco merely grinned while the girl pulled the black top over her head, revealing a perfectly shaped body every other woman would kill for. He knew how well she could use her attributes to get what she wanted due to him having experienced it many times before in the clubs. Lilly was unpredictable, she might shake her right hip more than her left to gain a special guy's attention, she might turn her head to the side to make other women gasp at her perfect profile, she might act innocent and the next moment, she was all sex. Nevertheless, Marco would never forget that the girl was merely playing because of him knowing the real Lilly. She was sixteen and she just wanted to enjoy life.

"I hope Rigo is in a good mood, I hate it when people are unfriendly in the morning",Lilly put the mirror and the top into her bag the moment they drove through a large gate with a sign saying Roderigo's – You don't find it here, you find it nowhere.

"We'll be getting the stuff and you do the business",Marco said, his eyes swaying over the many cars standing side by side all over the area, "it won't take us long, twenty minutes, I think."

"And you really don't need my help with the loading?"Lilly did not like discussing the price with Roderigo while the guys had to load the trucks.

"Non abbiamo bisogno da te",the man reassured her, "we know that you wanna help, but you know that we don't want you to carry around the heavy stuff."

"It ain't all heavy",she protested, "I could carry the parts that are more easy."

"No arguing",Marco drove behind Diego to where Roderigo stored the parts. He stopped the truck right in front of the gate with the number 2 painted onto it.

"Hola",Roderigo, having come over from the little building being used as an office, greeted them.

"Ciao",Marco got out of the truck, shaking hands with the other man when Diego joined them.

"Ey, man."

"Giovanna said that she wanted to talk to you",Roderigo told Marco. Giovanna was his younger sister, working for Roderigo as secretary. Being 22, so five years younger than her brother, the Italian woman tried to finance her studies by working each weekend as secretary and during the week as dancer, therefore, she went to the Club like Lilly. Marco, having once been a security in clubs, had always used his job to have an eye on his younger sibling, however, Vanna had told Lilly that he had been really great back then.

"I'll come in later, after we loaded up",the tall man answered while Lilly walked up to his side.

"Hola",she smiled slightly, putting her hands into the pockets on her bottom.

"Hola, Chica",Roderigo eyed the girl from head to toe, obviously appreciating her looks.

"So",the girl looked up at him, "you up for business?"

"With you, always",he offered her his arm which she accepted and led her over to the office, whereas Diego and Marco were already talking to the employees at Roderigo's happening to be old friends of theirs.

About thirty minutes later, Lilly, Roderigo an Giovanna came back from the office, the women being in deep conversation.

"You coming tonight, then?"Giovanna questioned the blonde.

"Nah, I can't, Mouse and I go Phoenix, ya know? Some battling, it'll be fun."

"Well, then, it'll only be Will, Ray, Sugar, V and me",she sighed, "Mona can't cause she's pregnant, Lola's got some family thing, Antony does still not feel so well, although I think he's overdoing it, I mean, it was just a cold, not some major accident or something."

"You know what he's like",Lilly rolled her eyes, "but we all love him for that. I miss Mona so much. She's not even moved away, yet, I already miss her. We were planning on doing something together tomorrow, though, after class."

"I know, neither do I Mona to move away, but it's best for them. Andrew's job in Orlando is way better than the one he's got here."

"Andrew's been my doc, I don't want any other",the girl whined.

"C'mon, you know his sister, she's really nice, so when she's overtaking the office", Giovanna shrugged, "she's okay."

"Yeah, you're right, I guess, I just don't want friends to leave",the blonde sighed.

"Ey, sis",Marco hugged Giovanna tightly once they had reached the loaded trucks, "how's my baby?"

"I'm good",she smiled at him, "how's my big one?"

"I'm all good",he grinned, "so, what did you wanna tell me?"

"Oh, Mamma a detto che.............."

Lilly walked past the talking siblings to where Diego was still talking to some of the other workers.

"How much did you get this time?"The Spanish asked, his dark eyes sparkling.

"Twenty five",the girl answered in a low voice, "let's better leave before he changes his mind again."

"Alright",he nodded at the other men, "see ya tonight?"

They nodded and said their goodbyes while Lilly was already getting onto the passenger's seat of the truck Diego would be driving back .

"Ciao, baby",Marco kissed his younger sister's forehead.

"Ciao",she waved her hand at them once they were all seated back in the trucks, starting the engines.

"Bye",Lilly called out of the window, then, she leant back against the backrest enjoying the silence that was merely disturbed by the sounds of the radio.

"Marco told me",Diego spoke up, his voice warm, "sleep some till we're at Tej's, okay?"

"I love you guys, you know that?"The girl was indeed tired, neverheless, she still wanted to change before taking another nap, therefore, she fished her black top out of her bag and pulled it over her head.

"Hey, no changing",Diego protested, "I love that look!"

"But I can't work like that",once the top was over her upper body, Lilly took her bra from the bag as well, laid it around her waist and shut the little iron hooks behind her back before lifting the item underneath her top. Then, she grabbed the neck holders being knotted behind her neck, pulled them over her head and opened the other knot on her back holding the bikini top up. Having it removed from her body, the blonde stretched and flexed her arms in a very trained way, so that the straps of the bra were over her shoulders very fast.

The entire time, Diego had tried very hard not to look at the girl, not that he would see anything he was not supposed to see. This girl was ten years his junior, however, she was a treat! The man knew he was too old for her, or better yet, that she was too young for him, nevertheless........................

Some dreaming every now and then is okay, I guess, he told himself while observing how she cleaned her face with several wet sheets she had brought with her in her bag.

"Why can't you work like that? I don't see anybody minding",he wondered out aloud.

"Brian?"Lilly raised her eyebrows. "Do I still have anything on my face?"She looked at him.

"Nah, I don't see anything left",the man told her.

"Good, then, I can sleep now",she packed everything back into her bag before making herself comfortable on her side of the couch, "and it's really good with you?"

"Yes",Diego laughed, "why do you always have to ask ten times? Crash, already, you need it."

"Thanks, Diego",the blonde girl smiled at him, then, she shut her eyes.

It did not take her long to fall asleep.

It was quarter past ten when they were back at Tej's Garage. The guys parked the trucks so that both of the storerooms were not all too far away. At Tej's Garage, there were two storerooms: one only for the electronics and the other for the actual car parts like body kits, rims, tires and engine parts.

Lilly was still sleeping on the passenger's seat.

Once Diego and Marco had gotten out of the trucks, they advised the others not to be too loud, so that the girl could rest some more.

"And we need somebody to get us something from Starbuck's later on",Marco said.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
