Chapter six: Central and A Lesson on How to Make Money
The train ride to Central was uncomfortable for both Lilliana and Ed. Ed would try to start a conversation, but could not get more than a nod or a grumble out of her, even though he was absolutely sure that he got a growl out of her. So he just sat there wanting to talk but settled for just looking at her. She was wearing a baggy pair of boot cut jeans, brown boots, and a white tank with a something that she called a half shirt over it. He tried to remember what she said about it. Something about that it looked like a normal plaid shirt with three quarter sleeves, but it was only long enough to tie under her breast. He blushed; he really liked that shirt on her. He looked at her cowboy hat that she tilted forward, covering her face.
Ed knew she was nervous yet angry. He couldn't help but think of that look that he got from her this morning when they were getting ready to leave.
earlier that morning
Lilliana zipped up her duffel bag and placed it by her bedroom door. All of her candles blew out at the same time that the fire died. Not even an ember gave off its ghostly glow. The gray light of predawn took control of the room, now that it was the only source of light.
"Lilliana?" Ed called softly. He sat up from the bed. "Something's different," he whispered to himself. To Ed, the house felt cold, empty, but he immediately dismissed the thought as the smell of bacon bombarded his nose.
He walked into the kitchen sleepily, the smell of sausage waking him up even more. "Ga morning sleeping beauty," she playfully called over her shoulder as she shoveled food onto plates for Ed and herself. She turned around and he saw that that color yellow from her sundress looked good on her. 'Aw hell,' he thought, 'everything looks good on her.'
"You look pretty today."
"Well thank you," she answered with one of her charming crooked that he has grown to love, the ones that she saved just for him.
"HEY I GIVE YOU A COMPLAMENT AND YOU GIVE ME NO FOOD?" he yelled when she set a plate in front of him.
She gave him a look that basically said 'excuse me'. "A) that plate has food on it, so I don't see how I could be starving you and B) your in my chair and that means that's my plate in front of you, so the plate on that side of the table, ya the one with a Mt. Everest of bacon, sausage, eggs and my famous spiced potatoes is yours, so get out of my seat and go over there and eat all of the food that I made you, or I'll just have to eat it all myself."
He gladly gave up the seat that he was occupying and ran over the giant mound of food that was set before him. Lilliana just stared in awe as he was just shoveling food into his mouth. 'It's a wonder that he doesn't choke,' she thought to herself.
She looked outside the window. The sun was up. It was time to go. "Ed, Al is waiting for us at a hotel in Central."
"Us, what do you mean us?"
"I'm going."
"Why?"
"Well why are you going?"
"I have to receive my orders from my commanding officers."
"And they are…?"
"Roy Mustang and Maes Hughes."
"Who?" she asked, her voiced tinged with an icy edge.
"Roy Mustang and Maes Hughes."
She just sat there, staring at him. Her dark blue eyes from just a moment ago were changing to the color of ice mixed with mud. "Your one of them." Hurt and betrayal crossed her face and he walked over to her. To hold her and to tell her that everything was gonna be alright.
His was just about to touch her shoulder, as a sign of comfort where she got out of her seat and put the chair in between them.
"Don't touch me," was all she said. A look of pure hatred was all it took and she saw Ed shed a single tear; it rolled down his cheek and feel on the ground to the exact spot where he first kissed her.
end of flashback
"Ed, were here." Lilliana said, waking him from his thinking.
They got off the train and walked a small ways down the platform.
"Ed?" he turned around just in time to have Lilliana slam into him holding him as tight as she could. She looked up and kissed him hard. It took him by surprise, but within moments he pulled her tighter to him, kissing her as hard as he dared in public.
When she finally broke the kiss, she buried her face into his neck. "I'm so sorry, I was being an idiot. Please forgive me."
He looked down at her and lightly kissed her forehead, then leaned his head onto hers. "It's okay."
She looked up at him, "you sure?"
"Yup," and they started to walk down the platform again.
"Hey, you never told me why you were coming,"
"Oh," she started, "I have to see a man about a cat."
And with that they took to the streets of Central, hand in mechanical hand.
"Lily, are you sure about this?" he asked when they stood in front of a hotel that, well, lets just say that he wouldn't of picked it.
She looked at him; one of those smiles that she reserved just for him crept upon her face. She gave him the biggest hug that he has ever gotten and felt her give him a kiss on the cheek.
"What was that about?" he asked, not in an agitated tone, in a curious one.
She giggled and gave him a feather soft kiss on the lips and said, "You called me Lily, you've never called me Lily before. I love it."
He didn't care what the place was anymore, as long as he was with her Ed was happy. So together, hand and hand, they walked up the steps and into the hotel.
Ed looked around and heard somebody yell, "HEY EVERYBODY STARFIRE'S BACK!" He looked at Lily and saw her blush, the pale purple of her eyes showing that she was getting embarrassed.
"Hey Starfire, you staying this time?"
"Starfire, where have you been, we've been starving without your spiced potatoes!"
And the calls kept coming and Ed put his arm around her waist, whether protectively or possessively even he didn't know, but Lily didn't care. She was just glad that he was holding her.
"Hey Otik!" she yelled and a middle aged man walked out of a storage room in the back and walked behind the bar.
"Hey Starfire, so I see you've come for a visit."
Lily pulled Ed to the bar and sat him down. She sat on the bar, gave Ed a quick, but hard kiss that he didn't want to break, then swung her legs over and hoped down behind the bar. She started taking orders and getting drinks, looking like a pro. He noticed that the other girls working their looked at her with envy, but still loved her. He also noticed the looks from the other guys in the room that were directed towards him, they held envy, but no love.
"Hey Ed!" he heard Lily call, "wanna see how we make money around here?"
He turned to look for the voice and saw her walking towards him on the bar. He just stared at her, 'she's perfect, I wonder what she'd be like in bed… wait WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING?' But then she pulled him up on the bar with her and step right in front of him, bodies touching inch for inch.
She started singing and the entire bar silenced.
They dance on the bar twirling her and pulling her into his embrace when she sang to, but he did it just to find any excuse to hold her.
Baby you're all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
We're in heaven
Oh, thinkin' about our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now nothing can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
That's over now
You keep me comin' back for more
Baby you're all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And lovin' is all that I need
And I'm finally there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see,
We're in heaven
We're in heaven
Now nothing can change what you mean to me
There's a lot that I could say
But just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way
Baby you're all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And lovin' is all that I need
And I'm finally there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see,
We're in heaven
Now our dreams are comin' true
Through the good times and the bad
I'll be standing there by you
We're in heaven
And your loving is all that I need
When I'm finally there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
We're in Heaven.
Heaven: DJ Sammy: (he he he no clue)
Everyone applauded when they were though. She was pressed against his chest. The fact that she was breathing hard, pushing her chest against his even harder, didn't help him suppress the thoughts that he had earlier. It wasn't helping the growing bulge in his pants either.
When she pulled away from him, she pulled him behind the bar; bag slung over her shoulder, and towed him to the room that Otik appeared out of earlier.
"Hey can you hand me the black skirt out of their?" she asked as she began to untie her half shirt and pulled of her tank.
"Which o.." he was cut off when he looked up, seeing her standing their, in just a silk bra and her baggy pats that hung low on her waist. Real low.
She grabbed a white cami from a cabinet with the name Starfire engraved in it. She was having trouble with the clasp of her bra and looked at Ed asking him for help. When he agreed she held up her hair (well, most of it anyways) and he unclasped the metal hook. He grabbed her hands and brought them away from her hair letting it cascade down her shoulders and on to her back. She let her bra fall to the floor and felt him kiss her neck. Ed turned her around, her hair covering her breasts, and pulled Lily to him. She knew what he was doing, and she wanted to, but she knew that now wasn't the time. She quickly pulled the cami over her head and slipped it over her breasts and covered her torso. She pulled away from him and undid her pants letting them fall to the floor. He loved the midnight silk panties she was wearing and wanted them off, but before the thought could fully form in his mind she quickly grabbed a black miniskirt from her bag, slipped it on, gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and ran out the door. Leaving him alone, wanting her even more.
Ok, just for fair warning, there is a huge possibility of the next chapter being a lemon.
