Declare Yourself
Who: Lilly and Paige
Where: Paige's Apartment
When: 5/19, Early Evening
What the hell. Really. Paige had been trying to prepare herself to have 'the talk' with Darlene. With how disastrous her intro to the supernatural had been (yeah, thanks again, Dave. Dipshit.), Paige decided maybe a more calm, put-together talk would help the girl more. So she was a little irked that Lilly had been so insistent that they talk right NOW, but damn it... she never could turn down her best friend. So, still in the micro-mini she'd been wearing (picture a schoolgirl skirt, just tramped-up big time), with black stilletto heels and an old-school Motley Crue shirt (hey, she was PLANNING on going clubbing once the talk with Dar was over, ok?), she got to Lilly's apartment and rolled her eyes, knocking on the door. "Yo, Maymin. Yer gonna call me all forceful and stuff and not even be waiting for me? Seriously?"
When Lilly did answer the door, her attire was, well, a little bit surprising. For someone who almost always favored ripped up jeans and tank tops (comfort was top priority), tonight she was wearing a low cut red dress that Paige probably wasn't aware that Lilly even owned. "Hey," she said to her. "Come in. I got something to tell you. Couldn't wait."
"Jesus Christ, Lil... you goin' to a ball or something? And did you rob the Van Warrens or something? Seriously?" Comically, this was all becoming a little surreal to Paige. So it was joke time. "Cuz I know your Jewish ass didn't SPEND that much money on a dress..."
"Wanted to dress up for you tonight," she said, shutting the door behind her when she walked inside. "Besides, no one should be so predictable." And her parents bought it for her, but she wasn't going to give Paige the pleasure of that knowledge.
"Dress up. For me." Paige felt herself blink once or twice, and she briefly felt like she was in one of those alternate realities she'd heard so much about. "You high or something, Maymin? Because this is all kinds of weird. You're dressing all classy, being all nervous, and not even registering my Jewish jokes. So what the hell?"
"Yeah, for you, dumbass." Now that was the Lilly we all knew and loved, even if she was glammed up a little. "Nope, not high. Just freshly single. Is THAT registering at all?"
"...you broke up with the little dhampir?" She raised an eyebrow, maybe not always the sharpest tool in the shed when it came to this stuff. Perhaps the OTHER reason (besides her sparkling bitchiness) that Paige was perpetually single despite looking like that? "And you're SURE yer not high?"
"Yeah, Stephie and I broke up. Not in a bad way, though. About as nice and mutual as those things, go, really." Apparently these things could still be decent. Amazing. "And I'm VERY sure I'm not high." With that, she leaned over and kissed Paige.
How hilarious that, despite being turned into a vampire, dusted, then reincarnated as a lethal justice demon, THIS managed to shock Paige? "Um... Maymin? Are you... I mean.... seriously?" Yep. Paige wasn't exactly the sweet romantic type, obviously. "Not that I'm sayin' no here, but you DO realize this is ME, right? I have all the willpower of a fat kid in a candy shop. Not sayin' that yer not enough woman for me, but I still love guys, too. And I love you, jackass. I don't wanna hurt you..."
"Dude, I've wanted you for a while," Lilly pointed out. "Like, a LONG while, in a way I couldn't quite deal with because I thought you didn't like women." At the willpower part, she shrugged. "Bring 'em home and share."
"Hah!" Paige snorted, throwing her arms up. "You. You're a fucking NUT, Maymin. Ok, ok... so... you're actually OK with me still liking to go out and find a guy now and then." She just gaped at her. "Seriously."
"You know you love me," Lilly said playfully. "And, well, I'd HOPE that eventually you wouldn't find the need to keep finding other guys. We can BUY anything that they got, you know. Still, as long as I'm actually seeing you, I'm happy."
"We can buy..." Paige started to repeat, before laughing raucously. "Where the HELL is Lilly Maymin and what did you DO with her?" Paige asked, wiping a few tears of laughter from her face before finally approaching Lilly, and hugging her tightly. "We can sure give this a shot, babe. I don't really think I'm wired right for relationships... but for you? I'll give it a try."
Lilly hugged her back. "She's right here," she said playfully back to Paige. "A shot's all I'm asking, anyway. Who knows? You might surprise yourself."
"You DO realize that in eight years of friendship, you've never shown as much emotion or personality in like... a MONTH as you've shown in the last fifteen friggin' MINUTES?" Oh, was Paige ever likely to stop teasing the SHIT out of Lilly, even dating? Not likely.
"Maybe I'm just trying to make a point then," Lilly pointed out to her. "Of course, I could be a pod person, too. Guess you'll just never know then, huh?" Of course, pod people DIDN'T show emotion.
"Sexiest god damn pod person in HISTORY, then..." Paige mumbled, before giving the drummer a sweet kiss on the forehead. "This is gonna be a hell of a ride, ain't it?"
"Yeah, it'll be a wild one," Lilly said with a smirk. She was looking forward to it, though.
