Chapter Eight: Aftermath
"Wake up sleeping beauty; delivery for you."
Sasha's voice broke into her thoughts. Gray eyes opened to meet light greens. Her cousin was standing above her trying to wake her up. Lily lay sleepily in her hotel bed.
"Someone sent a little present for you." Sasha grinned.
A small, soft smile crossed Lily's lips. She slowly rose and sat up. She put her arms in the air, stretched and yawned.
Sasha handed Lily a white rose wrapped in a white napkin. She rolled the flower out and saw that inside on the napkin were words written on it.
'I enjoyed the little moment last night.
I'm sorry I ran out, but it was just awkward having Sasha there staring.
I was hoping that you and I could be alone again for a small dinner
At a hotel in New York?
Oh and Sasha never did forget anything in the room.
- Michael - '
Lily let out a small giggle. "I like the words…but a napkin?"
"He was probably at breakfast or something and didn't have any paper on hand." Sasha figured. "Oh, here's some coffee."
Sasha handed her a cup of Irish Cream. Lily took it and laughed "Wow, I swear you and him are such dorks!"
"It runs in the family." Sasha joked. "Hey, but I give him credit, he is a cutie."
"Yeah so anyways Sash'; what WERE you actually doing last night when you saw us kiss?" Lily asked suspiciously with a smirk.
Sasha sipped some of her coffee. "Getting the thing back in the room that I forgot."
"What thing?"
Lime green orbs shifted. "My…purse."
The smirk turned into a smile. "You don't carry a purse. Were you…watching us?"
Sasha sighed; she gave in because she knew she was caught. "Okay fine, I wanted to go back in the room because…because I wanted to give Kane a good night kiss."
Lily let out a loud "AWWWWEE!! THAT'S SO CUUUUTEE!!!"
Sasha groaned. "Ugh, why did I tell you if I knew THAT was coming? Anyways, get dressed we gotta get going."
"Got it!"
