Standing outside Eleanor Waldorf Designs and tried to adjust her cleavage non-obviously. She smiled into the glass storefront, checking her teeth for lipstick, and finally, (after about seven once-overs) it was all systems go and she walked into the store. Almost the second she entered, Eleanor was upon her, complete with hugs and kisses on the cheek. Lily tried to hide her flush unsuccessfully. Perhaps she'll think I'm red from the cold, she thought.
"Come on, darling," Eleanor began, taking Lily by the hand to drag to the back room and making Lily's throat tighten at the contact. "I have a few things I've been working on to show you."
The pair walked through the work room, bobbing and weaving in order not to disturb any of the sewing. Eleanor swirled a dressing dummy that was attached to wheels around, accidentally hitting Lily in the stomach and knocking the breath out of her. Right before she hit the ground, Eleanor dove and caught her, grabbing around her back and right below her chest to drag her into the lounge.
Lily began to black out, and all she could see was Eleanor's face as she drifted completely out of consciousness. She woke up with someone stroking her hair, calling softly "Lily… Lily dear? Are you alright? Honeyy..?" Through the fogginess that had enveloped her brain, she discerned that It was Eleanor who was lavishing her with those sweet attentions. She fought the urge to open her eyes, living for the moment. "Oh, shit. Look what I did now. Lily's going to hate me for this," Eleanor worried, needlessly, as she continued to stroke the other woman's hair. Abruptly, her hand moved from hair as she marveled at the softness of the sun kissed skin, tracing small patterns all over the neck all the way down to Lily's collar bone with the pads of her fingers. And reached down to kiss her on the forehead "Don't worry, it'll all be ohkay. I'll take care of you, baby." She slipped off Lily's jacket and began to massage her shoulders, all the while humming "La vie en rose".
Afraid her body would get the best of her, Lily sat up in surprise, feigning grogginess. "Eleanor? Wha… What happened?" Eleanor jumped back in shock, a bit speechless. Lily tried to hide her smile behind a false yawn, but Eleanor caught on. "Oh my god. You, you were awake the whole time!" She laughed to herself in disbelief. "Wait… You were awake and you didn't say anything." Lily nodded, and Eleanor just smiled. On impulse, Lily reached out and caressed Eleanor's face gently, testing her boundaries. She saw the other woman gulp, but pull away. She leaned in to whisper in Lily's ear "I forgot about the glass windows. Let's continue this later, please." She almost begged, filling Lily with delight, "but not where my employees can gawk." Eleanor wordlessly grabbed Lily's arm and drug her from the store.
