Here's Chapter 31. Enjoy! :D
Twenty minutes had passed since David managed to get home. He quickly removed his clothes and quickly showered, happy to himself that he got his car back, and that he was spending time with Lilly. Of all the things that happened around him; the shootings, killing, and beating down on thugs, gangsters of every kind in the city, Lilly made him feel a bit different. Calm. Better about himself. At peace. There was exception where she put him and his car on the line for her sake, but he came to terms with it and let it go…after venting his frustration by, killing a few Triads, and couple of policeman in a failed assassination attempt.
Stepping out of the shower, David checked his face, and began brushing his teeth, followed by walking out the bathroom, and turning on the TV.
"Hi, I'm Lisa Hancock, Weazel News. I'm here on the downtown strip. A place of lights, glitz, glamor, and just not too long ago, a brutal rampage on the downtown street. Witnesses say that a single gunman, exchanged heavy gunfire with not only several African-Americans, in a moving truck, but with the city police."
Applying deodorant as well as a spritz of cologne, David turned the volume up, and went back to bathroom to spit. When he was finished wiping his mouth from the toothpaste, he headed to the bedroom to pick out what to wear. On the camera then went to a female witness who looked like she was scared out of her mind.
"It was horrible! This guy was killing them like…like he had no remorse! He was scary looking, but kinda cute at the same time. Hey, if you're out there, give me a call at…hey! Why you pushing me out of the way?"
David chuckled at the witness's remark while he grabbed a pair of black suede shoes, a pair of black linen pants, and a matching linen black dress shirt. After laying them out on the bed, he grabbed a pair of silk boxers from the top shelf in his drawer, along with silk socks, and continued to listen to the second witness, which was an overly excited young black man wearing a fading Daytona City Dolphins jersey.
"Man! The way he was killing motherfuckers left and right and, talkin' shit, was sweet! Looked like it came straight out of a movie, or a video game! He kept walking towards them with no fear, droppin' them like BLAM BLAM BLAM! That guy is an idol in my book!"
The news reporter looked at the young man stricken with horror with what he said. "Young man, that menace isn't something you or anyone should even idolize to. He killed two people, and several cops; one of them suffered a severe hit to the head and bled to death."
The young man shrugged. "Yeah…and what? Those cops probably deserved it; I mean shit, half the force is corrupted as fuc…" Before he could say another word, a cop grabbed him by the collar only to throw him to the ground, and beat him without a care.
"Gahh! Fuck you pig!"
"Shut ya trap, you piece of liberal trash!"
The reporter looked at the savage beating then, the cameraman, and mouthed the words to move someplace else.
David had finished getting dressed, and grabbed his Colt Mustang pistol from on top of the dresser, including an extra clip. He then grabbed his silver gold Crowex watch, looked at himself in the mirror. He was looking sharp. Shit, now all I need is a pair of shades, a saxophone, and I'll look like I belong to a jazz band, he thought as he pocketed his wallet, the gun, in his front pocket and the extra ammo clip in his back.
As he turned off the lights to his bedroom, he walked back out, and saw something he didn't expect. Himself on TV. Thankfully the footage was blurry, but he could tell it was him to the tank top and hearing his voice.
"Go ahead prick! Try me! JUST TRY ME!"
David shook his head as he watched himself fire off several rounds while walking towards them, like he was some baddass in an action movie.
"Witnesses say that this was the man responsible for the disaster, early tonight, No arrests have been made, only minimal property damage. Live from downtown, this is Lisa…hey wait a second! What the hell is this?" The reporter said pointing at someone, the camera then swiveled showing a honey blonde woman who looked barely eighteen wearing a miniskirt and a tube top, holding the hands a man who looked like he was in serious trouble. "Elias you got a lot of fucking nerve! You promised me you would stop cheating on me!"
"Baby, it isn't what it looks like! She's just one of my students at the school! I was just getting to know her more…yeah, that's all!"
"Maybe I should just go and let you two talk…"
"Nah, Erica, it's ok, she's just playing right? Baby, I wouldn't cheat on you, I swear!"
Lisa couldn't care less as she slapped him hard. Tears ran down her face, her eyeliner getting messed up as she continued to scream. "Bullshit! You probably fuck her while I'm at work every single night! My mother was right about you, you small dick bastard! You only fuck me when you want to, and just cause I have to work at night, you really fucking think that gives you a free pass to bang any kind of pussy in this hellhole of a city! Don't bother coming home! We're through! I'm taking every goddamn penny you have in court, you piece of shit!"
"But baby, wait!"
"Don't 'but baby' me asshole!" Lisa's sights then turned to Erica who was now scared shitless. "As for you, you blonde haired cunt, come here!" Lisa was now chasing the young woman around, while Erica ran away screaming and pleading for her life.
"Get the fuck away from me you crazy bitch! Elias was right about the way you act! Get away from me, I'll sue…ahhh!"
Lisa grabbed her by the back of the hair and threw her down, followed by kicking her numerous times. "Was it good slut? Was it good to fuck a man who can last only three minutes in the sack, won't cuddle with you afterward and, has one fucking testicle? You feel great sucking off a one nut married man!"
"Help meee! Someone help!"
The camera then went static followed by a blue screen saying 'Technical Difficulties…Please Stand By' for several seconds, followed by a commercial for Pets .
David laughed, shaking his head at the nonsense, followed by turning the TV off. He looked at his watch and, saw that he had less than twenty minutes. Grabbing the car keys, cell phone, as well as the apartment keys, he got outside and, locked up. He didn't feel like taking the elevator, and decided to take the stairs. He ran down several flights of stairs till he made it garage level and headed towards his car. Once he got in, he felt his phone vibrate and ring. He answered the phone, while starting the car. "Yeah?"
"Hey David, you ready to pick me up?" Lilly asked, as she grabbed her purse, including a small canister of mace.
"Yeah, I'm on my way outside...wait, where do you even live?" David wondered, as he backed out of his parking space.
"I was just about to ask you the same fuckin' thing," Lilly scoffed. "I live on 777 Echo Drive. Just about when you leave the red light district, and enter the suburban district. It's the first street on ya left. It just a short drive really from where you are."
"777 Echo Drive. Got it. Should be there in a couple of minutes." David said feeling sure of himself.
"Alright…see you soon." Lilly said biting her bottom lip, feeling excited about seeing David.
Hanging up the phone, and feeling determined to make it to Lilly's place in a short amount of time, David drove out of the parking garage, and was out on the city night streets. He rolled the window down, feeling the cool breeze hit him against his face, while setting the radio on K-Jazz, while passing a red light, and nearly running into a yellow '86 Oceanic.
"Didn't you see me asshole!" the driver in the Oceanic yelled shaking his fist in the air.
David ignored him as he continued driving. See you? Shit, as brightly colored that car is, I think most of Florida can see you. He wondered, shaking his head on how bright the car was, till he stopped at red light. He looked at his side and saw the same chubby guy, whose car he repossessed earlier, was standing outside by a bus stop rubbing his hands, feeling cold.
Jacob looked up and adjusted his glasses to see who it was that was staring at him in the car. When he squinted and saw who it exactly he was, he got mad. "You! You're the one who took my car away!"
Rolling his eyes with a laugh, David turned down the radio, and spoke. "Look chubby, don't get mad at me, if you didn't pay your shit on time. I bet you would if it was Fowlburger with cheese, you sure as hell would pay for it…with interest."
"Fuck you!" Jacob snapped. "I'll get my car back soon, and I'm not fat! I just have a growing problem."
"Yeah, the problem is your growing too damn wide," David said laughing. "You know, if you turned some of that weight to the side, you'd be ten feet tall."
"Whatever man, give me a ride! I'll pay for it!" Jacob pleaded.
"No, I'm on my way to pick someone up. And I just got this car back looking, and smelling nice. Last thing I need is you sitting in here, stinking it up with pizza sauce, garlic and unwashed ass. Enjoy waiting for the bus, and don't break that bench!" David said rejecting Jacob's request. The light signaled green, and David shifted gears quickly, driving off.
David turned the music up, followed by changing the station to Soul 91.7 FM and continued driving. As the song 'For the Love of You' by The Isley Brothers, he almost felt sorry for Jacob, for waiting for the bus, after taking away his car. But it was only business, nothing personal. When he saw where to enter, he made his way into the suburbs.
The suburban district looked perfect as he saw barely any trash on the streets. Not one pimp, hooker, or drug addict roaming the street…either none don't live here, or they probably have got curfew, David thought. He made the turn, just as he remembered Lilly telling him, and stared at each of the houses. Each of them was a two-story beauty, with a parking driveway fit for two cars, a blue mailbox by each house, and streetlights that actually worked, without flickering. He glanced and saw a house that was actually for sale and then stared at the price
Shit…pretty expensive but it would be nice to live around here…might take a look into it someday, David wondered as he saw a lone figure leaning against the streetlight. Turning down the radio, he flicked his high beams on and off for a bit, till the person turned around and waved. David drove up and saw that it was Lilly, and what she wore was beautiful.
She was wearing a red evening dress, which hugged Lilly tightly in all the right places and definitely served to show off all of her assets. It was bare shoulder and low-cut that showed off her flawless skin and cleavage. It tied around the neck, exposing her back and arms. The hem of the dress reached her ankles, although there was a slit up the side allowed David to capture a view of her well toned and silky leg. What she was wearing, was absolutely designer made. Dangling on her ears, was some expensive teardrop shaped ruby earrings matching the color of her hair and the dress, along with a pair of silver bracelets on each wrist, and a white cultured Akoya pearl necklace completed the ensemble. She had on a pair of red pumps that showed off her neatly pedicure feet, and a waist length black leather jacket, that was unzipped. She looked a whole lot different than the last time he had seen her
In David's eyes, Lilly was a total knockout. Oh my damn. Just…wow, David thought eyeing her up and down, as she walked over to his car, holding on to her leather purse. David's hands were starting to sweat as she got to the door, and tried to open it. She then lightly tapped on the window.
"Umm, you gonna let me in, or do I have to stand here and catch a fuckin' cold?" Lilly asked with a small laugh.
Oh shit! David blinked and felt embarrassed as he pressed the button for the doors to unlock. As soon as she got in, she closed the door and caught him staring at him.
"See something you like David?" Lilly asked with a grin, teasing him. Teasing him even more by pushing out her chest lightly grazing his arm.
"Well, umm…"
"You did say wear something sexy, am I right?" Lilly said reminding him.
Remembering, David nodded. "Yeah…but that…holy shit." He was at a loss for words as he stared at her beauty. "You look drop dead gorgeous!"
Lilly laughed. "You like huh? Well, I haven't worn this in a very long time, and it was just sitting there in the back of the closet. So I figured, 'why the fuck not'?"
Finally coming back to his senses, David started to speak properly. "Well you look great in it."
"Thanks again," Lilly smiled gently. "So then, where are we off to?"
"Well, any particular place you would like to go?" David offered.
"I was hoping you had an idea. I mean you are taking me out, right?"
"Well I didn't expect you go all out like that…not that I'm complaining," David said defensively. "How about we go get something to eat?"
"Well, there is this nice Italian restaurant we could go to around here? Al Dente I think it's called." Lilly suggested.
Al Dente…sounds all right, David thought as he took his foot off the brake. "Al Dente it is then," he then stepped on the gas and drove down the street.
"You know something; I'm quite surprised that you got your car back, after what happened before. What did you do to get it back?" Lilly asked as she fumbled with the radio tuner and set to Tech 82.1.
The song 'Sandstorm' was in the middle of it playing as David answered. "Well, I had to do a few things…"
"I bet it had to do with you killing somebody I'm sure," Lilly commented. "Oh, make a left over here."
David's left eye twitched for a moment from hearing that sting of a comment. He didn't bother to answer that one. He only killed when it was necessary. It was the life he chose according to his mother. And now, wasn't the time to have any shred of repentance for what he did. He saw a strip mall containing a laundromat, an arcade, a bowling alley, and the restaurant.
"That's funny…parking lot usually never this crowded," Lilly mentioned as she stared at the people walking around.
"How is it usually?"
"Damn near empty," Lilly answered. "Still, place looks nice though."
"I hope the food is also." David said under his breath.
Lilly heard, and chuckled. "When I lived in Liberty, my parents would take me to Al Dente just for their tortellini and tiramisu. It's divine David."
David smiled a bit happily they were talking about something else other than whom or what he killed. "Feeling nostalgic?"
"You can say that," Lilly said sighing wistfully. "It was also those days where my parents didn't argue…then when they did, we didn't even go. Fuck, I was lucky if my mom even bothered to cook. She was always popping antidepressants and guzzling booze when she wasn't being protective."
David's eyes shifted and saw the look of hurt in her face, while he found a parking spot and parked the Sentinel. "Well, you're lucky."
"Just how in the fuck am I lucky?" Lilly snapped.
David turned his head, and stared into Lilly's eyes as he shut the engine off. "You know who you're father was." With that, he turned away, unbuckling his seatbelt and got out of the car, leaving Lilly feeling stunned.
Grabbing her purse, Lilly got out of the car and looked at David. "Look…I…I'm sorry."
David paid no heed to it. "It's fine. Right now though, I could use some food, so let's try to make this a good night." He then, took Lilly's hand and held it.
Lilly smiled gently and returned the favor, squeezing his hand as the two walked in hand in hand, smiling. She glanced at a sign that was near the door that read out 'Talent Night.' "No wonder it's busy."
"You feel like singing a song or two then?" David suggested as they walked inside.
"Well, maybe. But I wanna eat first."
"Alright, deal."
When they walked inside, immediately Lilly heard several men and women whistling at her, and commented at how good she looked. Lilly ignored them, while David kept a straight face and walked by Lilly's side.
The inside of the restaurant had a nice Italian décor, with tile floors that were colored of the Italian flag on each tile. There were pictures of famous Italian people, actors, and criminals. Light music was playing as the two sat in the lobby as a host came out with a notepad in one hand and yammering on his cell phone. It was a balding man in his mid thirties, as he looked like he was getting annoyed.
"Look, I just want to make this clear, I'll move out of my mother's house when I'm ready alright? Don't you give me that tone, at least I work for a living. Yeah, as host, so the fuck what?"
"Umm excuse me?" Lilly said interrupting him. "Don't you have a job to do?"
Embarrassed, the host complied. "Look, dear, I'll talk to you later. Yeah, love you too," He immediately hung up and smiled. "Hi, welcome to Al Dente, table for two?"
"Yes, thank you. To be honest, I never been here before." David answered as he saw the host pick up to menus.
"Judging from the way you're dressed, I can see why," The host said acerbically and smiled. "This way please."
Keeping his temper in check, David smiled as he followed him. "Oh, you're hilarious! They ought to put you at Split Sides for amateur night. Like a regular Seinfield." Lilly laughed while, David tried to do his impression of Jerry Seinfield "Why is he so funny Lilly? What's the deal with that? I don't get it. I don't care if they pay me a million dollars an episode; I'm not coming back to that show! Yada, yada, yada!"
Lilly laughed even harder, as the host rolled his eyes. The seats they got were in a small lounge area, near a large fountain of a naked boy peeing. Across from them was a small stage with a guy performing stand up comedy. Once they sat down, the host handed the two their menus. David opened his menu and stared for a bit. He could barely read the print as most of the menu was stained with dried-up marinara sauce.
"Umm, I think your chef was drunk and spilled something. I can barely ready any of this." David said closing the menu, and handing it back to the host.
"Yeah, same here with mine," Lilly said, handing the menu back and took off her jacket. "You think we can get menus are, well, a little bit cleaner?"
The host forced a smile, as he took the two menus. "Very well, I'll bring some that have pictures, that way you can pick and point out what you want." He said in a very snide tone.
A flash of anger hit Lilly as she was about to get up to cuss him out, but saw David stand up and, step in front of the host.
"Picture this; we're paying customers, and you're a lowly servant. Now get us some champagne, asshole." David demanded staring down at the host.
Feeling defeated, the host complied. "Wow, I guess you sure showed me."
"I'm gonna show you a size thirteen shoe going up ya ass, if you don't move," David threatened. Immediately, the host power walked away from the two, bumping into a busboy, including knocking down a waitress that was carrying drinks. Smirking at how afraid the man was, David turned and sat back down. "Sorry about that." He apologized.
"Nah, it's alright. I actually would've kicked him in the nuts after what he said," Lilly said smiling. "So what do you think of the place so far?"
"Well other than the host being a complete pain, it's not so bad. I just hope the food here is good." David wondered as he glanced at the comedian trying his best to make the audience laugh, to which only two people did, but out of pity.
The stand-up comedian was a short, overweight, black man, who was wearing a metallic black and gold pinstriped dress shirt, along with a pair of black pants, and a pair of cheap looking shades. He was sporting a flat top that was in need of a shape up, including a small goatee that was in need of a trim. His teeth were the same color as his shirt, with several gaps around. It was an ugly sight to behold due to the fact he had a serious overbite.
After no one laughed at his next joke, the comedian tried for another one. "You ever see…you ever see how people with shades on walk in the club? At night! Yall see this? They walk in the club, and you just want to hit them. Just smack the mess out of them, and be like 'Hey! Why you wearin' shades at the club for?'."
"He is not funny," Lilly said staring in disbelief. "Hell, I've found jokes on popsicle sticks funnier than him.
The host quickly came back and handed the two of them clean menus, followed by walking away quickly from the promise David gave him about kicking his ass.
Opening the menu, David agreed. "Yeah, tell me about it. His teeth are fucked up as well. What's the comedian's name supposed to be, 'Cavity Creep'?"
Lilly chuckled, as a blonde hair waiter came up to their table, setting down two champagne flutes, and opened a bottle of champagne. "Hi, I'm Barry; I'll be your waiter for the evening. What would you like for your appetizer? I recommend the fried calamari strips. They are absolutely great."
"Sure, can we get two orders of those, along with an order of mozzarella sticks?"
"No problem," The waiter said as he quickly jotted down their order. "Are you ready to order, or do you need more time?"
"A few minutes please," David asked. He then looked at Lilly who was looking at the menu. "What about you?"
"Yeah, I haven't decided on what I would like to order."
"Alright then," The waiter nodded. He soon walked away, tending to other patrons.
David opened the menu and, much t his happiness, the menu was actually much cleaner other than the last one. Pretty good selection they have here, hopefully Lilly doesn't go overboard like last time and buy a bunch of food…then again, I have the money for it…sure, why not? Go on a bender, David thought as he made a selection on a few things. "Well, I already made up my mind, how about you?"
Lilly stared at the menu, and turned the page, looking at what kind of salad they had. She then, finished her glass of champagne and poured herself another glass. "Pretty much, don't worry; I won't overdo it like last time at the diner." She winked as she took a sip of her drink.
"Well it's alright if you do, I'm thinking of a few things myself." David smiled knowing for certain he had the cash for it. "Plenty of things."
"I bet it isn't food you're thinking about," Lilly said winking at him, making David feel embarrassed a little bit.
The comedian was still on stage, still trying to be funny. "You know, we should take our kids for walk? And bond with these kids today, let me tell you. Gotta teach them right from wrong…"
Annoyed, David opened his mouth and spoke out loud. "Forget teaching the kids! Somebody needs to teach you how to brush your damn teeth!" The audience laughed, Lilly spat out her drink laughing, and the comedian looked at his heckler stunned. "I mean damn, you looked at your teeth lately? Buttery as all hell! And where the fuck did you get those cheap liquor store shades? Look like they belong next to the cheese doodles!"
Lilly clapped her hands, laughing at the insults David was throwing. "David that is so fucked up."
"It's the truth," David said quickly turned smiling that he was making Lilly laugh, and turned back at the failed comedian. "When's the last time you went to the dentist? Your teeth are so spaced out; it looks like your tongue is stuck in jail." He then turned to everybody else and continued some more, "Shit, they're so jagged; it looks like you brushed your teeth with a grenade! What's wrong, can't say anything? Can't make a comeback?"
While everyone in the lounge was laughing at him, the comedian glared at him, and responded. "This is my job, punk! I don't knock the mop out of your hand when I go to Cluckin' Bell." A few people booed at his failed response.
"Your job?" David said mockingly. "Your job ought to be jogging around the block a couple of times, than tell jokes. Look at you, you getting mad cause it's the truth. You know you're fat, if your belly is overlapping your belt. Why don't you do me, everyone in this fine establishment, and yourself a favor and, suck it in. Maybe you would look a bit more presentable! Shit, but then again, I would be embarrassed too if I was wearing the same shit you are!" The laughter escalated. "Look at you, bright yellow with black and yellow teeth. I bet you gave everyone a hard fucking time in traffic on your way here! 'Uhh, sweetie, do I pay attention to the traffic light, or this mobile one right here?'"
There was even more laughter and pointing as the comedian stood there taking insult after insult, with nothing to say back at all, while David kept on going.
"Everybody, look at how he dresses!" David yelled out. "Last time I checked this was 2008, not 1998!"
"It's the latest style!" the comedian yelled out defensively
"Latest style in what? 'I Can't dress for Shit' magazine? What the hell is that you're supposed to be wearing? Look like the old edition to New Edition!" David said grinning from ear to ear while Lilly was now laughing with tears in her eyes. "As dark as you are, with all that yellow on. Motherfucker looks like an E-Cola with extra lemon! Don't he?" The last joke did it, as the comedian dropped the microphone and ran out upset. "Aww, don't go lemonhead, I was just getting to cracking on your haircut!"
Everybody was now pleased and applauding for David as he waved and laughed as well. He glimpsed at Lilly who was laughing applauding for David as he sat down.
"You were a fuckin' riot David!" Lilly congratulated.
"Somebody had to do it," David chuckled. "When I was in high school, I used to get picked on a lot so much; I had to think of a way to get back at that someone."
"Couldn't kick much ass then right?"
"Not enough to save my life," David confessed, causing Lilly to giggle. He took a sip of his champagne and continued. "So, I figured the best way at the time, would be to crack jokes, at them and embarrass them to the point where they ran off and cried…or chase me for how many blocks in an attempt to kick my ass."
Lilly shook her head laughing even more. "You're something else David."
"Yeah, I guess you can say that," David said finishing his glass.
The waiter had come back with their appetizer and set it down on the table. "There you are. Are you two ready to order?"
"Yes, we are." David answered. "I'll have the cheese tortellini with roasted garlic and herb sauce, also a plate of stuffed roasted peppers."
The waiter wrote down the order and nodded. "And for you miss?" he asked.
Lilly skimmed through the menu for another few seconds and made up her mind. "Let me have a bowl of minestrone alla ligure, a plate of risotto alla pitocca, and a chicken caesar salad."
"Certainly miss."
"Also I was hoping we could onto one of the menus for dessert."
"Absolutely," The waiter smiled, just as he finished writing down her order. He then picked up David's menu and, walked away.
David took a mozzarella stick and lightly dipped it in the sauce. The moment he took a bite, he was shocked. The food here so far was pretty good. He finished the first one and helped himself to another. "So, what was it like when you moved here?"
"The correct answer would be that I ran away from home. One day I came home, and I was sick and tired of my mother's bitching and complaining. She kept thinking that I wasn't a 'proper lady', and that meant, being home before the streetlights were on, always practice my goddamn violin and perform in front of her to show her what I had learned. Not to mention, joining those stupid protests about gun control with her." Lilly sighed heavily as she grabbed a calamari strip and ate slowly, thinking of the way her uppity mother treated her. "Hell, she even had the nerve to get me a pager, cell phone, and installed a mini tracking device in my backpack.
"Are you serious?" David asked hearing the overkill of Lilly's mother's parenting. "A fucking tracking device?"
Lilly nodded "If I even so much tried to take it out or even disable the thing, it would go off like a car alarm, and wouldn't go off till my mother and twelve cops showed up. It happened before on my very first date...they thought he was attacking me, and they beat the shit out of him."
"Well, sometimes, mothers try to look out what's best for them." David said trying to explain. "Besides, did you even try to explain it to your mom that she was being domineering?"
"More than once," Lilly said taking a sip of her wine. Then another. And another sip of her champagne till her glass was finished again. "I tried to explain so many times that she was controlling me and it needed to end one way or another. I begged, pleaded, did everything she wanted, just so she could try to at least cut me some goddamn slack."
"Did it work?"
"Of course not," Lilly said disappointingly. "It only made her get more pissy, and enforce more rules to the point where I couldn't even have a moment to myself."
"It couldn't be that bad. It's not like she had security cameras all over the house," David said with a small laugh, till he looked at seriousness of her face. His smile quickly went away. "You're kidding right?"
"In every room and in the bathroom," Lilly shrugged, popping another piece of calamari in her mouth. She then started chewing and refilled her glass. "You know what it's like to have cameras all around you?"
David nodded. "My senior year in VCU, I went to the North Point Mall. There was this clothing store, and the place had one too many cameras, including rent-a-cops patting me down when I entered and left the store. It's ridiculous to what ya gotta go through just so you can get a pair of fuckin' socks."
Lilly snickered. "I could imagine. I hate to see what they'd do near one of the dressing rooms."
"Don't remind me please."
Lilly laughed even more. "Aww, what's the matter David? Did you have to turn your head and cough when they patted you?"
"Shut up," David muttered, only to make Lilly laugh even harder. "Back to what I was saying, how did you finally decide to run away?"
Lilly's laughter died down, as she stared at her wine glass and sighed. "I left a note. I couldn't really tell her in front of her face. Told her, I was sick and tired of her bullshit, and couldn't take it. Told her she was the reason why the family broke apart; her and her snooping around. If she could give me just a moment to myself, maybe things wouldn't be so bad. Next thing you know, with the money I saved up, I hop on the first bus out of Liberty City. I wanted to go to somewhere warm, nice, and easy on the traffic."
"How long ago was that?" David wondered.
"Two and a half years ago," Lilly said looking up at David. "When I came out here, it was weird."
"Being a fish out of water?"
"Yeah, how'd you know?"
"Remember when I told you about me moving to Vice City for college?" David reminded her as he finished his glass of wine.
"Oh yeah, sorry. Well, by the time I got here, I had little to no money, and slept in this really dingy looking studio apartment. I decided that if I was going to prove myself out here, I had to do what I had to do. I sang at stores, parties, karaoke bars, even on the street or the park for a couple of dollars," Lilly said smiling faintly. "Then he came along."
"Johnny?"
"Yup…it was at the Starlight Lounge, and he had on this charcoal colored suit on that just made him look so irresistible, especially the way he smiled at me when I was singing on stage." Lilly paused as she stared into space thinking about the past. "He would tell me that I had a great voice, that I looked beautiful. We talked for a while, even went to the movies together. One day, he even asked me out and took me on this big shopping spree."
"He did?" David asked.
"Yeah. I would have so much fun with him. Even when I mess up on something…" Lilly's voice ebbed once more, as she felt her eyes welling up with water. She choked back a sob, as she pushed on. "He would forgive me…no matter what. Now look at me; I'm twenty-one, and I get cussed out and mistreated by Johnny, he always putting me down. Even when he berates me like I'm one of his fucking deadbeat friends, I still hold on to him, thinking that there is some kind of light in that goddamn tunnel, I call my love life. But no matter what I do for that guy. I cook, clean, laugh at his stupid jokes, take his clothes to the cleaners, fuck him whenever, and however he wants to be fucked, he still treats me like I'm nothing. Shit, who the fuck am I kidding David, I am nothing.." Breaking down in tears, Lilly swiped the bottle from off the table and began to chug straight from the bottle in large gulps. When she finished she sniffled and looked up at David. Her eyes were red and cloudy. "You know, you were right from the start…he does treat me like a common street whore"
David reached over and pulled the bottle away and placed it by his side. He then, took a clean napkin from the table, and handed it to her. "Lilly, calm down," He closed the cork on the bottle and continued. "First of all, you are something alright. Something great in fact. You're funny, sweet, and easy on the eyes."
Lilly wiped her eyes as she continued shedding tears. "Please, you're just saying that to butter me up."
"It's true Lilly. You look gorgeous, not to mention you got an ass that won't quit when you walk. I'm talkin' end table ass Lilly."
Lilly blushed as she giggled from the comment about her butt. "David, stop, it's not that big."
"I'm serious, why do you think when you're on stage, guys go nuts seeing you? Or better yet, why you think you had a few comments from guys as soon as we came in here? Ass for days Lilly."
Lilly laughed. "I'll keep that in mind."
David continued. "And when you sing, you put a hundred and ten percent into it. I mean just hearing you sing, I feel…like…"
"How do you feel David? Don't bullshit me." Lilly warned him as she finally stopped crying.
"Well it makes me feel calm. I can be shot up, and just hearing you sing, takes the pain away. God forbid, if I ever do experience that." He then drew a breath and pressed on. "I know it sounds hackneyed and cliché as all hell, but it's the truth." David confessed as he locked eyes with her. "Now let's try to have a decent night. Forget about Johnny, or what happened in the past. I'm here now, not him."
Lilly's green eyes sparked a bit as she smiled. She reached up and caressed her hands against David's and nodded. It was best to forget about what happened and focus on what was going on now. In her eyes, David was a better man to be around than Johnny. "You're right."
"You deserve someone a hell of a lot better than Johnny. Guys like him only act like that cause, they're insecure about themselves."
"That would explain the size of his dick," Lilly scoffed. "Miserable thing looks like half a roll of dimes."
David's eyes widened from heating that piece of gossip, as he laughed out loud. "You're kidding!"
"Nope! If I only told you how long he can last, you'd piss on yourself laughing…ah, screw it. Three minutes, and that's just if he's taking something for it."
The two laughed even more, as two waiters came up to them holding their meals and setting them down on the table. Their meals looked as well as smelled appetizing. David had no idea that their main entrées would look enormous, but it was fine by him. David began to eat and was surprised at how good the food was here.
"How is it?" Lilly asked as she began to eat her salad.
"This…is pretty good. I just didn't expect to have a large plate of food though." David said in between bites.
"I should've mentioned that to you before we even ordered. I think we can take some of it to go if you like." Lilly suggested as she ate another piece of lettuce and chicken along with it.
"Well, maybe, if I can finish up at least half of what I got here." David laughed. "Tell me something, you ever thought of making a career out of your singing?"
Lilly chewed on her food, nodding. "I gave it some thought you know. But I don't know if I'm capable of doing something like that."
"Lilly trust me," David said as he ate a mozzarella stick. "You're considered a local favorite."
"And, if I get rejected, then what David?" Lilly said sounding disenchanted. "I'm not the kind of person that's ready to be rejected."
"Trust me on this; I think you wouldn't be rejected at all." David said sincerely.
"Thanks David." Lilly said gently before she started to eat her risotto. She made a satisfied face as she ate some more.
"For what?"
"For putting up with my story, being here to cheer me up, and letting me know I look nice." Lilly grinned. "Hey, what do you wanna do after dinner?"
"What you have in mind?" David asked as he started eating one of the roasted peppers.
"Well, how about dancing?"
The moment David heard the words 'dancing'; he choked on his food a bit. "Dancing?" he said sounding surprised.
"Yeah! What's the matter? Got two left feet?" Lilly taunted.
"No, it's just that I haven't danced in a long time." David said feeling embarrassed. "I might end up looking like a goof."
"Aww, the badass hitman, is afraid to dance?" Lilly said teasing him more.
"I can."
Lilly grinned. "Show me then when we get there."
"What about dessert?" David asked, trying to change the subject.
"We can share something if you want?" Lilly said giving David an option.
As she handed David the menu, he began looking at some of the desserts they had. I wouldn't be surprised if their desserts here were just as large as the entrees. Then again, I wouldn't have to go to the store to get some food for a day or two. He skimmed through the choices and decided on what to share. He then looked around and called out for a waiter that wasn't busy.
"Excuse me; I'd like to order dessert." David said closing the menu. "Also I'd like to take this food here to go."
"Sure, what would you two like?"
"Actually we're going to share something. Tiramisu please and we're also having that to go as well." David requested.
"Very well," he motioned some of the other waiters to assist him, as they walked over and took their plates away.
When they all left, Lilly got up and grabbed her purse and jacket. "I'm gonna head to the bathroom, need to fix up my lipstick."
David nodded, "Take your time." He leaned back in his chair and listened to the music they were playing in the back.
Lilly headed to the bathroom, and found the place to be completely empty. Setting her purse on the marble counter, she opened her purse and grabbed her lipstick from inside. Just as she was about to apply, her cell phone began to buzz. She looked at it and saw that it was Johnny calling her. Rolling her eyes, she set the lipstick down, and grabbed her phone.
"Yes, what is it?" she said sounding blasé.
"Where the fuck are you?" Johnny demanded, as he was driving around in his Oracle. "I drove up to your house, and knocked on it several times, and you didn't show up at the door! Where are you?"
"I went out Johnny." Lilly protested.
"Oh yeah? Where, cause, I'm coming over to pick you up."
Lilly shook her head. "Don't worry about where I am," She scolded "Like you really, honestly, give a fuck about where I am to begin with. What's the matter, you feel like yelling at my face to make yourself feel great?"
"Hey, don't give me that fucking tone bitch…"
"That's exactly what I'm talking about!" Lilly yelled into the phone, feeling hurt once again. "You always talk down to me like I'm one of your little punk ass friends!"
Rolling his eyes, Johnny's voice softened. He figured that she would fall for it, like she did before in the past. "Look, I'm sorry alright? I just had a long day."
"Sorry? Sorry? You're always sorry! Sorry isn't good enough this time." Lilly declared. Setting her foot down, she continued. "Right now, I'm out enjoying some me time, and I refuse to have it fucked up with your presence. For once you're going to treat me with the utmost respect, because I fucking deserve it for all the bullshit and, stress I had to put up with you these past two years!"
"Uh…huh, sure babe. So when are you coming back to your place?" Johnny asked, ignoring almost everything his girlfriend just told him. "I was thinking I take you out to Taco Smell. But get something only under ten bucks alright?"
Staring at the phone pissed off, Lilly's body trembled. He ignored what I had to say…fucking prick…
"Lilly? Bitch, are you there or what?" Johnny yelled out. "When the hell are you heading back to your house?"
"WHEN I'M GOOD AND FUCKIN' READY YOU MOTHERFUCKER, SO DON'T WAIT UP!" Lilly screamed. She then, shut the phone off, and threw it against the wall, breaking it upon impact. Her lips began to tremble as she struggled not to cry. She already did earlier, didn't want to go through it again, but she felt a lump in her throat, not to mention her body felt weak, as she started to sob. "F-fucking…asshole…"
She cried for several minutes, as she knelt down picking up the pieces to her destroyed cell phone, and tossed it into the trash. She had enough of Johnny hurting her over and over. Something had to give, and if it meant dumping him, so be it. She walked over to the sink, and splashed some cold water on her face a few times, while mentally blocking out Johnny and how he acted just now. Drying her face, she then took several deep breaths to calm herself down, before heading back out there.
An elderly woman walked in and, saw Lilly in the state she was in and walked over. "Excuse me dear, but, are you alright?"
"Hanging in there," Lilly muttered, as she sighed, and applied her lipstick slowly.
Back outside, David was still sitting down only this time there were several bags containing clear, plastic containers of the food they had, including the dessert he ordered as well. He glanced at the bill and went into his pockets, pulling out several twenty dollar bills, including an extra ten. He felt like tonight went well, despite Lilly crying in front of him and nearly trying to drink herself to a state of unconsciousness.
"Sheesh, wonder how long it takes to put on lipstick," David muttered as he looked at his watch.
"Long enough," Lilly said almost scaring David. She saw the bags and the same waiter that served them their appetizers take the bill and thanked them, followed by walking away. "I see, they bagged up everything?"
"Pretty much. Ready to go?" David asked, while he stood up. He grabbed the bags and started walking while Lilly walked to the side of him, smiling faintly. David's eyes shifted, taking a glance of how lovely Lilly looked as well, not to mention smiled. I wonder…if a guy like her and a guy like me can get together…haha, yeah right. With her crazy ass boyfriend, I don't think there would be a chance for me and her. Still, it was nice to take her out and cheer her up. I still I can't believe I commented about her ass…chalk that one up to spending time at Randy's club. I know for a fact that, mom would love to meet her. Then again, my mother would be happy for me to be with a woman that can read well, and didn't have a mustache.
The sound of cat calls from various guys, were heard as the two walked pasted them, almost heading out of the door. Lilly ignored them, while David continued on smirking. Yeah, that's right assholes; I'm walking with th …
Before he could finish to what he was thinking, he felt something heavy hit him across the side of his face, causing him to drop the bags, including fall to his knees. When he looked up, David felt the pain hit his face yet again, followed by Lilly screaming in panic.
"Not so fuckin' funny aren't you punk!"
David gritted his teeth, and groaned in pain, as he stood up and opened one eye to see who attacked him. It was the same chubby comedian David heckled and ran out.
The comedian had a dimwitted glare on his face, as he held the broken Ol' Irish 900 malt liquor bottle. He then looked at Lilly and grinned, showing off his messed up teeth. "Don't be scared babygirl…why don't you ditch this punk and get with a real man?"
"Fuck you." Lilly spat.
"Aww, come on baby. What's that nigga got that I ain't got?"
"The ability to see his own dick when he bends down," David said looking up at him. With quick reflexes, David sent a heavy right, directly into the fat man's groin…twice.
The comedian's went wide from the shock, as he bent forward, and soon felt the speed including the fury of several punches striking him against the face and upper body. The poor bastard couldn't think of what to do as he stood there helpless.
David's face was stinging, but he didn't care. He was going to shut him up for good as he sent a right hook, followed by a left, and a devastating hay-maker. The comedian fell flat on his back, weeping and holding his face. "Courtesy of Tommy Vercetti. Maybe your chunky ass can go to him and learn somethin', instead of sneaking up on people and cracking a bottle to their face! You're lucky I'm not carrying a gun!"
"Y-yo-u didn't h-ha-have to hit me so har-d!" The comedian cried out as he tried to get up but was too dizzy and hurting from the brutal beat down.
David ignored him, as he grabbed the bags and checked to see if nothing broke open when they dropped. So far nothing popped open…good. He then looked at the Lilly and saw she was a bit shaken up. "You alright?" he asked.
"I should be asking you the same thing," Lilly said as she saw some blood leaking from the side of his face.
"Just a scratch, really…ow!" David winced. Shit…must be a piece of glass stuck…
"Bullshit," Lilly scoffed at David trying to be macho. "You have anything like rubbing alcohol back at your place?"
"A first aid kit, why?"
"We're heading to your place," Lilly said dryly. "And I'm driving, so hand me the keys."
"No way," David said taking a step back. "You're cute and all, but I'm not letting you drive my car."
"Just hand me the keys David." Lilly insisted.
"No! This is a well turned machine here!"
"Stop being so goddamn stubborn!" Lilly said getting mad.
"Alright…just tell me you can drive stick shift," David asked as he went into pockets.
"Umm…I'll learn." Lilly smiled awkwardly.
"Fuck that,"
"I'm kidding David…I can drive a stick." Lilly laughed. "Trust me."
Fuck I just got this car back…I just hope she doesn't damage the car. I've only had the car for at least a few hours!
"David?" Lilly said as she saw him stare at the car. "Earth to David?"
"Sorry" David apologized, "Fine, but just be gentle with the car alright?"
"Alright, alright, ya crybaby. I'll be gentle with your 'precious' car." Lilly promised as, she stuck out her hand. "Keys please?"
Grumbling in frustration, David handed the keys to her. "I see a scratch, you're getting the bill."
"Yeah, yeah," Lilly said waving her hand dismissively. She opened the door on her side, getting in and unlocked the passenger side for David, allowing him to get inside.
At least she knows how to unlock the door. Then again, she's probably seen you do this a few times around her, he thought as the pain on his face was hurting. "Thank God, they had extra tissues. I really don't want any blood to get on the seats."
"David, you aren't bleeding that much," Lilly said noticing the cuts, while she started the car. "To be honest, I kinda saw you as a fast healer. It must be something in your diet."
"Probably," David chuckled.
Lilly smiled as she locked the doors, and turned on the radio to V-Rock, followed by turning the volume up, rolling the windows down, and peeling out of parking lot. The music was blaring on the radio, while David held onto the food. He then felt his body shift to the side, followed by hitting his head against the window.
The pain in his face was hurting even more now. "I told you be gentle Lilly!" David yelled.
"What? Can't hear you!" Lilly shouted while pointing at the radio grinning.
I can see that smartass. David leaned over and turned the radio down.
"Hey! I like that song," Lilly complained as she made a sudden stop at a red light.
David's body lurched forward, and pulled back hard due to the seatbelt. "Just drive carefully alright? My face is killing me here."
"Sheesh…you're no fun." Lilly said playfully poking his arm.
The rock station was still on but, Lilly teased him by driving like a fool.
"Lilly…drive on the right side of the road!"
"I just wanted to get a better look at something!"
Despite his face hurting like hell, and demanding Lilly would drive like an ordinary human being, David was glad to see a smile on her face, and that meant, that things were going well.
When Lilly drove the Sentinel inside the garage near his apartment, she glanced at David who was still grimacing in agony. "Hey, David, did you have a good time?"
"Other than the pieces of glass in my face, yeah I had a good time." David said softly, lightly dabbing his face with tissue. By the time, Lilly parked the Sentinel inside a parking spot; she quickly shut off the engine, while David got out of the passenger side and grabbed the bag of food.
"I'll get the food David; you just try and get in the elevator alright?" Lilly suggested as she closed the door and handed him the keys.
Setting the car alarm on his car, David complained a bit. "Look you don't have to…"
"But I want to…now get it in there." Lilly said gently pushing him in the elevator.
David lightly smiled as he pressed the button for his floor. As the elevator slowly went up, the two of them stared at the metal doors of the elevator. Alright, she got us back here, and in one piece…gotta thank her for not bashing up the car. God my face hurts…I just hope it is nothing serious…now that I think about it; I have iodine not rubbing alcohol at all…shit!
The elevator slowed down followed by a faint dinging of the bell. Once the doors opened, David stepped out with Lilly following behind him.
"You know what? I think I can treat these wounds myself." David said lying through his teeth.
"Is that why your hand is shaking?" Lilly said noticing his right hand twitching and slightly covered in blood and tissues. "I'm going to take good care of you, and I won't take no for an answer David. Now let's get you fixed up."
My hands are shaking cause, you're so close to me. "Alright fine," David said sounded defeated as he opened his door, and turned on the light. "You can put the food in the fridge at the kitchen. I'll get the first aid."
Lilly nodded as the two walked inside. While David headed towards the bathroom, Lilly took off her jacket and tossed it on the edge of the couch. She then headed to the kitchen and looked at how neat the kitchen looked. Either he doesn't know how to cook, or he's a neat freak when it comes to the kitchen…place is so fucking clean you eat off the floor, she mused nodding in approval, as she opened the refrigerator. Inside, was a deli sandwich, along with two bottles of Sprunk, a half drunken container of apple juice, and three eggs. As she placed the bag of food inside the fridge, she glanced and saw a few photos stacked neatly on the counter. She picked them up and looked at them. Each one was a picture of David, or Randy. There was one picture where the two of them were young, standing in front of Caligula Palace smiling with their mother.
The next picture was David at the age of eighteen, and in an all white suit. He didn't have his glasses on and was smiling happily, standing next to a chubby, raven haired Japanese girl, who had on a red and gold evening dress. Below the picture there was a writing that had said 'Prom Night…David's official first date'. The next one was the two of them again, but this time a rather embarrassed David. His date next to him looked shocked, while Randy was there, waving at the camera laughing.
She giggled, setting the picture down, and looked at his graduation picture. David was in his cap and gown smiling with tears in his eyes, standing next to his mom who looked like she smiling with tears in her eyes as well. On his other side, was Randy wearing his high school letterman jacket, a white shirt, black jeans, and black construction boots. He was the only one who wasn't crying in the picture. Below the picture there was three words written down.
'Graduated with honors.'
She smiled impressed, as she set the photos back down. "Hey David, you find the first aid in the bathroom, or are you too busy beatin' your meat?"
David rolled his eyes as he finally came out of the bathroom, with a first aid kit the side of a small briefcase, and set it down on the small coffee table. "I was looking for this, thank you very much."
Lilly stared at it and whistled. "What kind of first aid is that?"
"The kind that can treat cuts, scratches, even a bullet wound," David said opening the case. Inside were gauze pads, bandages, band-aids, cotton balls, needle and thread, antiseptic spray, and a medium sized bottle of iodine.
Lilly stared at the stuff as she sat down on the couch. "Bring the stuff over here, and rest your head on my lap."
"Umm uhh…" David's face was turning red when he heard her ordering him to rest her head on her lap.
"Now." Lilly ordered.
Following orders, David placed a small towel on her lap so the blood wouldn't get on it, followed by laying his body down, and resting his head on her lap. The fabric of the dress felt silky against David's face as he sighed and looked up at her face…which was blocked a bit by a pair of breasts.
"You know…the view from up here is quite nice." David smirked, only for Lilly to flick him at his nose hard. "Ouch!"
"Fresh," Lilly muttered. She pulled out a pair of tweezers, cotton balls including the iodine, and placed them on the table. "Now where does it hurt?"
*Twenty minutes later…*
"Ahhhhhhhhh! Jesus Christ, that hurts!" David screamed.
"Oh, hush, I barely touched you on that one." Lilly said lightly dabbing at David's face with an iodine soaked cotton ball. She scoffed as David cringed at the intense stinging. "You know for a 'hitman', you're such a big baby."
"You gonna feed me and change me then? You gonna tell me a bedtime story too while you're at it?" David asked sarcastically, only to get flicked at his nose once more. "Ow!"
"Smartass…just lay still, I'm almost done here David." Lilly said as she grabbed a few band-aids. "Hey David, who's the girl in that prom picture?"
David heaved a sighed thinking about that picture. "My first girlfriend,"
"Oh? Does she have a name?"
"Olivia Shibari…me and her dated for the entire school year till she had to move."
"Where to?" Lilly asked while gently applying a band-aid on the hitman's face.
"Tokyo. Her father was some executive yuppie for a company called Zaibatsu. He got promoted and her mother, who was Irish by the way, got a good job too. During the summer, she told me the news…and she had to go." David's mind flashbacked to the day she told him in front of her house. She cried, while he stood firm and held her tightly saying he was going to miss her. And he did...terribly.
"She must have been something special huh?"
She was my first, David thought. The nights the two would go to the Speedway and watch cars race around, the nights the two would go to Spartans and share a plate together. The nights where she would sneak him into her parents house, and have sex countless times in her room, the back yard, or in the den, then headed home and got an ass-whoopin' from his mom at 4am.
Those were the days, David thought. He shook his head, letting go of the past as he then looked up at Lilly and answered her question. "Well, she teach me how to swordfight, read some Japanese and how to eat properly with chopsticks. We do talk every now and then on email."
"I see," Lilly said as she placed the next band-aid on his face. "Well, I'm all done. You only had two serious cuts on your face; the other three however, weren't that bad. Just be glad your face isn't scared like crazy. Might've started calling you Seal."
"Har, har," David said dryly. "Last time I checked, women love scars. Makes them sympathetic."
"Maybe…I'll admit, it does make you a bit rugged." Lilly commented with a wink.
David laughed. "Lilly…um, thanks. For taking care of my face."
"It's the least I can do for you cheering me up back at Al Dente," Lilly grinned holding his hand tenderly. Her heart was beating at a moderate pace as she thought of the positive things David had told her.
"You deserve someone a hell of a lot better than Johnny. Guys like him only act like that cause, they're insecure about themselves."
"First of all, you are something alright. Something great in fact. You're funny, sweet, and easy on the eyes."
She then firmly squeezed his hand as she he bent her head down, till she was close to his face and, kissed him on cheek, right where the scar was. Her heart was beating much more rapidly as she pulled away smiling gently at him.
David sat up, and looked at her a little bit shocked, but still held her hand out of respect. "What was that for?"
"For being sweet to me," Lilly said scooting over till she was close to his face once again. She held his hands once more and stared in his eyes.
"Uhh…Lilly, you get any closer to my face, you would be chewing my gum," David said jokingly.
"Remember, when you told me that I deserve someone a lot better than Johnny?"
"Yeah, what about it?" David wondered trying to scoot a bit away, only for Lilly to scoot closer to him. "It's the truth; you deserve someone much, much better."
She then moved her face and whispered gently in David's ear. "Well, how about you?"
"What about me?"
Lilly smiled and kissed his ear gently. "You're the kind of guy I want."
David's body shivered at the kisses Lilly was giving to him. "Umm, what about Johnny? Or did you forget that you have a boyfriend so soon?"
"It doesn't matter…but for right now, and I think you said it best…forget about Johnny, and let's just have a good night." Stared at him deeply, "I'm here David…not him."
David nodded, placing his right arm around Lilly's waist, while the other hand moved from her hand and was now resting between her shoulder blades, pulling her slowly into him.
Lilly's left hand splayed on David's chest. Her right hand was now behind his head, gently pulling him close and holding him in place.
Their bodies were pressed against each other as the two kissed passionately. The duality between passion and sheer power was intense as they two were lost in the moment. David wanted her even more as the kiss grew each second, while Lilly wanted him even much more, as she slipped her tongue gently into his mouth, twirling her tongue against his, deepening the kiss even further.
Lilly moaned lightly as David gently pushed her down on the couch till he was on top of her. He pressed himself down on her, feeling her chest against his, while Lilly wrapped her legs around his waist and squeezed firmly, causing David to let out a satisfied groan. The two continued to grope each other and venture to new heights as far as possible, until the need for air, prompted the two to break the kiss.
David pulled up from her, panting lightly as he stared wide-eyed at the lounge singer. Hesitant, and feeling a tad embarrassed for giving in like that, he scooted a bit away from her, creating some space between them.
Lilly was no better than David was. Her cheeks were flushed, while her lips and body trembled. She quickly sat herself up, straightening her outfit, and crossing her legs. She then stared at the ground, feeling responsible for seducing David. She tried to say something, but the words couldn't come out.
David however, was able to say something first, although, it sounded like he was in a bewildered state of mind than excited. "I…can't…believe we just…Lilly what did we just do?"
"I…have no clue," Lilly admitted. "We…just. Look I'm so sorry for what I did."
"What you did?" David muttered repeating what Lilly said. "I'm the one who got on top of you!"
"Well yeah, not that I didn't enjoy that," She shook her head trying hard to not think about how much it turned her on, and how moist her panties were getting. Her voice did soften a bit. "Look, why don't we discuss this in the morning. Would that be better?"
"Yeah, sure," David nodded. "Come on, I'll give you a ride home."
"Actually, I was wondering if I can stay here. Now, before you start, its just cause Johnny has been looking for me, and he just said some shit to piss me off so I just need a place to stay. Only for the night though, I can get a cab ride back to my place later, alright?"
"Ugh, fine. But you're sleeping on the couch." David said as he stood up and quickly had to turn away due to the erection he had bulging in his pants.
"Aw, come on," Lilly protested. "Let me sleep on the bed. Be a fuckin' gentleman!"
"Fine, fine, but only cause you did such a good job taking care of my face." David said as he headed to the kitchen. "There's soap, extra towels and an extra washcloth in the bathroom also."
Lilly grabbed her jacket, got up and started making her way to his bathroom still in her heels. She stopped, and turned around looking at David, seductively smiling. "You sure you aren't going to pounce on me in the middle of the night, while I'm asleep and do something freaky are ya?"
Please don't fuckin' tempt me, David thought as he remained silent.
Lilly laughed. "Just sayin'. Have a good night David. Sweet dreams."
"Yeah…you too."
David poured himself a glass of water and headed for the couch, taking his shirt off and setting it on the coffee table. When he glanced up, he still saw Lilly standing there, with an instinctive smile slowly creping across her face admiring what she was looking at. She tried desperately to stop, but she couldn't help it.
"Quit starin'!" David said sounding like a teenager not getting what he wanted as Lilly giggled and closed the door.
He started drinking his water slowly thinking about the kiss he shared with her. The scent of her perfume still lingered on him, as well as the couch as he was in deep thought. Lilly is in my house…for the night in my bed. Well as long as it's just for the night, I guess it can't be so bad. I still can't believe we even kissed…and it wasn't one of those 'thank you for being a friend' kiss…this was one of those 'I want you right here, right now' kind of kisses. Maybe I should go see if she needs anything in the bathroom…no, no, no! That will just lead to more kissing, next thing you know, I got her bent over the sink, moaning and groaning, while I'm banging away like there's no tomorrow...maybe in the shower or against the wall! Now that I think about it…no, no NO! Just relax…drink some water, and calm down. To be honest though, I actually enjoyed myself today, and I'm glad she did as well.
David finished his glass as he placed it on the table near the first aid kit. He yawned as he glanced down and still had a hard-on from earlier and shook his head. "Note to self, take a cold shower…a really cold shower." He then heard his cell phone ring as he pulled it out from his pocket. "Yeah?"
"Hey David," Alan said as he was laying down in his bed. He was watching 'That 90's Show' with a half naked Tiffany snuggled up to him snoring. "What are you up to tomorrow afternoon?"
"I was thinking of going to Club Sugar Daddy, see how Randy is doing. Why, what's up?" David said heading back to the kitchen to refill his glass.
"Paul wants us to hit the Yardies tomorrow in their territory. And we're gonna hit them hard."
"Exactly how we're going to do that?"
"Don't know all the details, but don't worry, the pay is going to be great. Just be ready, and get yourself a vest. Cause we're coming over to pick ya up. See ya!"
Alan hung up before, David could even ask him what time would they show up. Rolling his eyes, he set the alarm on his phone, and finished his water. When he set the empty glass on the table, he shifted his body, and stared at the ceiling thinking about Lilly...and smiled.
That's right folks...I did it! I FUCKIN' DID IT! A full blown romantic scene with David and Lilly! Go me! :D
Al Dente was the name of a restaurant that I heard on GTA IV...my guess is it's that its the equivalentto The Olive Garden. Ol' Irish 900 is obviously the equivalent to Ol' English 800. Taco Smell is of course Taco Bell, and the name of David's first Olivia Shibari is a name from Asian BBW porn star Kelly Shibari. Apparently when she first started her line of work, she used the name Olivia when she first started...thought I'd give you that bit of trivia right there. She however is going to be in the story later on, so don't worry! :P
It took me weeks to figure out the kind of dress I wanted Lilly to wear. When David said sexy in the other chapter, I wanted it to be sexy times ten. I also figured that it was about time to finish off the prologue of Lilly's life before she came to Daytona, followed by having a breakdown about Johnny, so why not have David cheer her up and tell her the truth, also by making her laugh by putting down the really bad comedian, followed by kicking his ass later on outside the joint.
The romance scene was a bit hard to write. To be honest I haven't wrote one in years, so I was feeling a bit rusty on it. Originally it was supposed to be a sex scene, but I figured, 'Nah...don't wanna give it to you guys like that. Let you wait on that! heh heh heh.' So I instead made the two make out. If you got any ideas on how I can make the next one (which won't be for a long while haha), send me a message. Probably by the next date the two go on, I might have them go to a club. What do you think they should go?
Well hope you loved reading this chapter. Will Lilly and David become an item behind Johnny's back? What kind of job does Paul want David, Alan, and Randy to do the next day? Will Johnny stop being a douchebag and be nice to Lilly? Will Randy ACTUALLY visit Rosa at the home for a change? Will I be much faster with posting a new chapter? Well tune in to find out! Read and Reply and have a great day! ^_^
