Back to the Future
Chapter 5
Requiem of a Kiss
Lilly was having another one of her dreams. From time to time, Lilly's dream world would provide her with wonderful nocturnal entertainment. As she lay sleeping in her soon-to-be grandmother-in-law's guest room, Lilly's subconscious mind decided to have a little fun with her yet again. This time, the trigger for her sleeping fantasy was a women's wrestling match that Robby Ray and Bobby watched on TV after the storm the night before.
(Lilly's dream)
The wrestling announcer, Jim Ross, was calling the match at ringside along with Jerry "The King" Lawler. A capacity crowd at the Sommet (pronounced So-may) Center in Nashville was cheering.
"And we are set for the WWE Women's Championship here in Nashville!" Jim Ross bellowed. The bell rang and the entrance music played. It was Miley's Hannah Montana hit, "Best of Both Worlds".
As the music blared, the ring announcer made the introduction. "This match is set for one fall and is for the WWE Women's Championship!" The crowd roared to life as Miley appeared at the top of the ramp in long hot pink and black spandex tights that showed off her curves. A matching pink and black sports bra-like top and hot pink wrestling boots completed her ensemble. Images of Miley flashed on the large video screen at the top of the entrance ramp as Miley stood bouncing on her toes, ready to come down to the ring. "Introducing first, from Malibu, California… she is the number one contender for the women's championship… Mileeeeeeeeyyy Stewwwwaaaaaaart!" Miley ran energetically down to the ring, playing to the fans as she ran. She then climbed into the squared circle and played to the crowd before her music began to die down and she looked toward the top of the ramp for her opponent.
The lights in the arena started to flash and fireworks started shooting off as music for P. Diddy's D.I.D.D.Y started playing; only the lyrics were different…
"The L, the I, the L, the L, the Y, the L, the I, the L… It's Lilly! (Hold up!) It's Lilly!"
A charged up Lilly stood at the top of the ramp in a baby blue sports bra top and matching spandex trunk shorts that showed off the results of years of playing soccer and doing squat thrusts. She was ready to explode as she bounced, the championship belt secured tightly around her trimmed waist. "And also from Thousand Oaks, California… she is the WWE Women's Champioooonnnn… Lillyyyyyyy Truuuuuscooooooottt!"
Lilly played to the raucous crowd as she came down the ramp, hopped up on to the ring apron and them into the ring. After her music faded out and she handed her belt to the referee, the bell rang and she began circling Miley just her brown-haired lover/opponent did the same. Seconds before they locked up for the first time, Lilly stepped back and called for the microphone.
"I can't! I can't do this! I can't fight you Miley!" Lilly said as the crowd started booing.
Miley became enraged as she stepped forward getting nose-to-nose with Lilly as she began screaming into the microphone. "What do you mean you can't fight me? There are 18,000 people here! We're on national TV! Let's go!" Miley exclaimed as the crowd cheered her on.
"I can't fight you… because… I love you so much and you look so hot in those pants…" The crowd roared its approval of Lilly's admission as they started the familiar chant, "WE WANT PUPPIES!", letting the ladies know that they want to see their breasts. Lilly continued. "You look so hot that… I just want to do this…"
Lilly then dropped the microphone, seized Miley by the back of her head and began kissing her with an all-consuming passion as the crowd erupted in cheers. Over the din of the rabid crowd, Lilly growled to Miley in between kisses. "You are so fucking hot. I need you right now. Right in the center of this ring." Miley was overwhelmed as she breathlessly said exclaimed between kisses, "Oh my god, Lilly! Lilly!..."
"Lilly!"
Lilly snapped out of her dream roughly as her eyes shot open at the sound of Miley's voice. Lilly was lying in the bed in a black tank top and baby blue cotton pajama pants gripping a handful of Miley's hair. To say that Miley, who was standing at the side of the bed leaning over Lilly showered and fully dressed, was stunned to be overwhelmed by the sleeping Lilly was an understatement.
"That must have been one hell of a dream!" Miley said, whispering breathlessly as she wiped her mouth, trying to recover from Lilly's dream-induced onslaught. "I just came in to wake you up! I didn't know I was getting attacked!"
Lilly looked up at Miley with a libidinous fire blazing in her eyes. She released her grip in Miley's hair only to begin tugging at the bottom of Miley's shirt as she squirmed. "Please come back to bed and fuck me." Lilly purred. "I am so horny."
"I thought you said yesterday…" Miley started.
"Not yet." Lilly purred, indicating that nature had yet to call on her. She managed to pull Miley down to where one of Miley's knees was on the bed.
"But Mamaw's up and she's down the hall!" Miley whispered as she looked down at Lilly. At this moment Miley was conflicted as she had never seen look so good or so horny after just waking up.
"I'll be quiet. Please. I need you inside me now. This WILL NOT take long." Lilly whispered in such a sexily intense fashion that Miley was unable to refuse her. Miley positioned herself off to Lilly's left side as she lay down on her side next to Lilly and reached inside Lilly's pajama pants and began touching Lilly in the most intimate way. Lilly's eyes stretched and rolled into the back of her head as she tilted her head back. "Oh my god, yeah!" She whispered. Miley found her mark with each and every stroke of her fingers. Lilly was on fire. She looked at Miley with pleading eyes as she lifted up her tank top, pulling it just over her breasts. Miley began flicking one of Lilly's rock hard nipples with her tongue. The combination of the oral and digital stimulation took Lilly to the edge of orgasmic oblivion. Lilly arched her back and thrust her hips up toward Miley's hand as she aggressively sought her release. "Oh my… ghhhhhhhhhhhh!" Lilly bore down as quietly as she could as the powerful orgasm exploded inside her. Just seconds after her beautiful explosion, however, there was a faint knock on the bedroom door.
"Miley? Lilly?" Luanne called out softly.
Miley thought quickly as Lilly was in no condition to speak. "Lilly's getting undressed for her shower!" Miley called out just before looking devilishly at the recovering Lilly and placing her soaked fingers into her mouth teasing Lilly.
"Okay. Mamaw just wanted me to tell you that there's breakfast on the stove for us. She's going to the grocery store." Luanne said. "Jennifer and I will be in the kitchen."
"Thanks, Lu!" Miley said as she looked down at Lilly.
"Thank you Miley. I thought I was gonna explode." Lilly whispered.
Miley reached inside Lilly's pajamas and slowly ran her fingers along Lilly's slick wetness again causing the blonde to gasp. She then withdrew her fingers and held them up. "You did. See?" Miley said as she placed her fingers back into her mouth and moaned softly, enjoying Lilly's sweetness.
"I owe you big time." Lilly said.
"And I intend to collect. Now get showered up. I'm going to get some breakfast." Miley said as she delivered a kiss to Lilly's still-exposed nipple causing Lilly to draw breath between her teeth. Miley then stood up and winked at Lilly before walking to the door, opening it and disappearing down the hallway.
Miley walked into the kitchen to the sight of Luanne standing at the stove filling her plate with Mamaw's breakfast of country eggs and ham, pan fried potatoes, grits and biscuits.
"I'm gonna weigh six hundred pounds living here." Miley said to herself before raising her volume. "Morning gals!" She said as she sat down at the table across from Jennifer.
"Hey Miles." Jennifer said as she lit into her plate, shoveling food into her mouth.
Miley raised her eyebrow and smirked incredulously. "No one's gonna take your food from you." She said to the ravenously hungry brunette.
"She was like a caged animal in the bedroom when she smelled it cooking." Luanne said.
"How's Lilly? Where's Lilly?" Jennifer asked.
"She's getting showered and dressed…" Miley started before being cutoff.
"And she is more than fine this morning. Trust me." Luanne said with a knowing smirk, looking over her shoulder at the two women.
"You…" Miley said.
"I knocked on your door, remember?" Luanne said. "She was quiet, but not that quiet. Thank goodness it was me and not Mamaw at that door. Shame on you Miley Ray Stewart."
"Shame, hell! My baby needed me." Miley said.
"Forget her. She's mad cause she wants some and can't get any." Jennifer said.
"I am Victoria Luanne Stewart. I can get some anytime I want." Luanne said.
"Victoria is so pretty. Why do you go by Luanne?" Jennifer asked.
"See Miley, she's flirting with me." Luanne said. "I could name those panties in six moves." Jennifer looked at Luanne with a look of playful disdain. "Now to answer your question, Miss Pop Tart, I was named after my Aunt Vickie and, well, the family didn't want two Vickies running around. They already had Robby and Bobby."
"Well I'm calling you Victoria, no, Tori." Jennifer said.
"You two seem to be hitting it off well." Miley said. "Something you want to tell me… Jennifer?"
"About what?" Jennifer asked.
"Leave her alone Cousin." Luanne said. "I'll report to you when she's been properly turned out."
"Yoohoo! Hello! Girl who likes penis sitting right here!" Jennifer said, pointing at herself over her head.
"You've got bi-curious written all over your face." Luanne teased.
"Okay, this shopping trip seems like less of a good idea by the second." Jennifer said.
"She's just messing with you." Miley said. "It's what she does."
"I know." Jennifer said.
"That's right. It's what I do. And you're straight so you have nothing to worry about, right?" Luanne said. "I mean it's not like you… felt up Lilly or… kissed Miley before or something."
Jennifer felt a simmering heat begin to build inside her as Luanne hit a nerve. She thought back to her incidental kiss with Miley the week before.
FLASHBACK (excerpt from The Best of Both Worlds, chapter 5, You Did What?)
Jennifer reached inside her pocket and pulled out a quarter. "Open your hand." Miley opened her left hand. Jennifer placed the quarter in her hand. "Now close your hand." Miley closed her hand. Jennifer then reached in her pocket and pulled out a 20 bill. "How can you take this 20 bill without opening your hand?" Jennifer paused for a moment to let the question sink in. "In order to accept something good in your life, you have to open yourself up to the possibility. Now you have that quarter securely in your hand. You want the twenty. Now if you open your hand you could drop the quarter, you could drop the twenty or if you're smart, you could hold on to the quarter and still grab the twenty. But it's all about taking the chance. You will never know… unless you try."
"So I can really have Lilly, the friend…" Miley said as she opened her hand enough to hold on to the quarter while taking the twenty from Jennifer. "and Lilly, the lover at the same time."
"Your other friends did it. Why can't you?" Jennifer asked.
"Why can't I?" Miley said.
"Well Dang Flabbit! I think she's got it." Jennifer said with a smile.
"Who told you that you could use that?" Miley put her hands on her hips and pouted.
"Who told you that you could take my twenty dollar bill?" Jennifer said as she playfully snatched the twenty from Miley's hand. They both laughed. "Look, I've got some stuff to do before my… appearance tonight. God! I feel like one of those wrestlers that run into the ring with a steel chair and starts bashing people in the head."
"London doesn't have any metal chairs in her house, I can promise you." Miley said with a smile. They both stood up. "Thank you so much Jennifer. Your pep talk really helped."
"You just make sure that come tonight, you get your girl." Jennifer said.
"I will." Miley said softly and smiled as she stepped forward to embrace her. After the warm embrace, the two surprise friends slowly pulled away from each other, giving each other a brief smile. Then in the blink of an eye, they both leaned forward and pressed their lips together softly then parted their lips slightly for a deeper intimate kiss that lasted several seconds. And then, the light bulbs suddenly clicked inside both of their heads and the pulled away. Both of them were visibly flustered and embarrassed by their surprise kiss.
"I… am… so… sorry… Miley… I… have never… Please… forgive me…" Jennifer stammered.
"It's… okay." Miley paused for a second. "It… was a moment. It was… practice for tonight."
"Exactly! Practice… for tonight!" Jennifer said nervously. "Well, let me run. There's a dress on Rodeo Drive with my name on it!" Jennifer chuckled and turned quickly to head for the door.
"One of us will call you!" Miley said to the retreating Jennifer.
"I'll see you!" Jennifer said as she headed out the door. When she reached her car and climbed in, she sat behind the wheel staring into space. "What the hell did I just do? You just kissed Miley Stewart… for real!" Jennifer sat in silence contemplating her actions. "Jennifer Mikayla McGowan, you have truly lost your damned mind." She paused again. "You always manage to fall for the wrong person at the wrong time." She said dejectedly to herself before cranking up her car and backing out of the driveway.
END OF FLASHBACK
Jennifer came back from her remembrance hearing the sound of Luanne laughing.
"You know what?..." Jennifer then made up an excuse to get out of the kitchen. "My phone is vibrating. Excuse me." Jennifer then abruptly got up from the table and headed out of the kitchen. A few second later, Luanne and Miley could hear the front door close. Miley looked over at Luanne standing near the refrigerator and scowled.
"What did I say?" Luanne asked incredulously. "I was just joking!"
"Not everybody likes to be teased like that." Miley said as she stood up and went to follow Jennifer, leaving Luanne standing in the kitchen wondering what had just happened.
Jennifer stood out on the front porch of Ruthie's house on a beautifully bright morning in the eastern Tennessee valley. She didn't even realize that the nerve Luanne hit still existed. Before kissing Miley, she had never kissed another woman. However, the kiss she shared with her one-time rival had awakened something inside her that she hadn't felt before. Miley was with Lilly and she knew that wasn't about to change. She was attracted to Miley but she had suppressed it for the sake of her friend's new relationship with the woman of her dreams. Luanne's comment, however, was the key that reopened the Pandora's box that she desperately wanted to cement shut. She had never had unconditional friends like Miley and Lilly and she didn't want unrequited feelings for an unattainable woman ruin the friendship she so desperately needed.
"Jenn? Are you okay?" Miley asked as she stepped out onto the porch.
"I'm fine." Jennifer said. "She just knows how to push my buttons sometimes. You were right."
Miley took a moment to contemplate saying what was on her mind at that moment. "Look, she was just teasing. She didn't know anything about the kiss. Heck, Lilly doesn't know…"
"It's not about that!" Jennifer scoffed defensively. "I had forgotten about that."
"So it was just a coincidence that you bolted when she mentioned kissing me?" Miley said.
"What do you want me to say Miley, that it bothered me when she said that? It did. Okay?" Jennifer said. " I don't like being teased about my emotions. That's why I don't show them."
"Your emotions." Miley said. "So you had emotions about our kiss?"
"How do you…" Jennifer started and then paused. "How do you kiss somebody the way you kissed me and then just cavalierly mention it like we had a conversation about… politics?"
"So now you're mad at me for being nonchalant about our kiss?" Miley said.
"Stop saying our kiss!" Jennifer said. "Obviously WE did not share a kiss. Sharing indicates that two people get the same thing from the same experience and that did not happen."
"How do you know that? You never asked me. We never talked about it until this moment." Miley said. Jennifer had no reply. "It is obvious that you felt something in that kiss. I did too." Miley admitted. "Why wouldn't I? A beautiful, successful woman that I like as a person kisses me intimately in a moment of tenderness… I'd have to be a soulless robot not to feel something and… in another circumstance, another place and time, who knows? But my heart already belonged to Lilly… and it always will."
"I know that." Jennifer said softly. She dropped her head. When she lifted it, Miley saw a tear in her eye. "You know that I have never truly been in love? I'm almost thirty and I've never had anyone that made me feel like you did when you kissed me. It's that feeling that I want. It's that feeling that made me leave the kitchen because that kiss felt like it belonged to something more. Does that make any sense?"
"Right moment, right feeling, right kiss, wrong person." Miley said.
Jennifer sniffed as tears fell from her eyes. "This is why I don't show my emotions."
"Crying is not a sign of weakness. It's a sign of strength." Miley said as she stepped forward and rubbed Jennifer's shoulders. "That person is out there. You'll find them. You will. And when you do, that kiss will blow what we had out of the water. You hear me?"
"We'd have made a great couple." Jennifer said as she chuckled through her tears.
"Mikayley? MikMiley? The name would have never worked." Miley joked.
"Are we cool?" Jennifer asked.
"We're cool." Miley said as she embraced Jennifer. "Just realize that you'll never get to kiss me again." Jennifer laughed. "But Luanne does look just like me…"
"She may look like you but you two are nothing alike." Jennifer said as they released the hug.
"If anyone can bust through the crusty exterior and get to the heart of a person it's you." Miley said. "After all, you learned it from me when I did it with you."
"I don't want to bust through any crusty exterior." Jennifer said.
"Well she does. It's obvious the way she looks at you." Miley said. "Just don't send any mixed signals if you're not interested."
"I am not saying that I am interested at all." Jennifer said. "But… if I became interested… that wouldn't be creepy for you, would it?" Jennifer probed.
"As long as you don't call my name out in bed with her, I won't be creeped out." Miley said.
"I take back what I said earlier. THIS is why I don't show my emotions." Jennifer said.
Miley laughed. "Come on. We need to get going. All of us have a two-hour drive ahead of us." She said with a smile before the two friends turned to go into the house. As they stepped through the front door, Jennifer almost ran into Lilly who was coming outside to get them.
"OH!" Jennifer said, narrowly missing Lilly. "I'm sorry!"
"That's okay." Lilly said. "Everything cool? Luanne said y'all came out here to talk."
"Everything's fine. We're good to go." Miley said.
"Great. Well, let's get going. We're supposed to meet Tom by eleven." Lilly said referring to their real estate agent.
"I'm gonna go tell Luanne I'm ready." Jennifer said. "Thanks for the talk Hannah Banana."
"Anytime… Pop Tart." Miley said with a smile as Jennifer headed for the kitchen.
Lilly then wrapped her hands around Miley's waist. "You are a wonderful friend." Lilly said warmly as she kissed Miley.
"I try." Miley said sweetly.
"I can't blame her for feeling something when you two kissed. Happens to me with you all the time." Lilly said sweetly.
"Oh. You heard that?" Miley asked flatly.
"I came to the door earlier to come get you. I almost flew out here, guns blazing, but something inside me said, 'Listen', so I did." Lilly said.
"I'm sorry…" Miley started.
"We weren't dating then. You don't have to apologize." Lilly said as she held Miley. "But if you ever withhold information like that from me again, I will never have another erotic dream about you again." Lilly said with a smile.
"What got you so worked up this morning anyway?" Miley asked.
"Let's just say that the next time the WWE comes to Nashville, we're going." Lilly purred.
"Me and you in tight spandex, huh?" Miley asked.
Lilly smirked. "Do you smell what the Lil is cookin'?" Lilly asked, paraphrasing the pro wrestler, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
"I sure do. And that's the bottom line, 'cause Miley Ray… said so." Miley punctuated her Stone Cold Steve Austin imitation with a kiss.
I was not even going here when I first started writing this chapter. It just had a mind of its own. I hope you enjoyed it. Now, the trip to Nashville really is next. Come on back. PLEASE REVIEW.
