Sirens

Cup Up

Marina's POV

I arrived at New York and I saw some fans on the airport so I took some photos with them and signed albums. I'm glad to see that my work is being recognized in a bigger way.

After I took a cab, I arrived at the hotel I'm staying this week to rest a little.

"What are you doing Marina???" My manager storm inside the room, yelling at me. "Hey, calm down, I thought i could take a na-" I was cut by a nervous Luke. "Well, you thought wrong! Go change, you have a interview in a hour." I get up as he exit the room, I like doing promotion but being like this only makes me stressed. At least I can go out with Lan- well, Lizzy, so I call her. I still don't know how she got my number.

"Hey, Lizzy! It's Marina, I start promoting today and I was thinking if you wanna go out tonight?" I said a little bit nervous because I really want go out and relax a bit. "Hi, M! Of course we can go out tonight, I'll pick you up at 8:00 since I live here and I won't let you take a cab, okay?" She said seemed full of energy and in the most polite way possible. "Okay, that's really sweet of you, see you tonight!" "Bye-ya!" She said and hung up. I finish changing and I get out of the room for a full day of work.

Lana's POV

Marina called me asking if we could go out today and of course I said yes, I just have to call Derek and say to leave everything prepared for her surprise.

The hours pass faster than usual and it is already 7:45. Gladly, Marina's hotel isn't so far from my house so I'm on my way to pick her up.

I enter the hotel and identify myself, the receptionist sees me and his eyes grow wide. "OMG YOU'RE LANA DEL REY, IM A BIG FAN!!" I let out a laugh and take a photo with him. "I'm here to see Marina Diamandis, please?" I say as he smile. "I knew it!" he says and I get confused but he let me in. I go to her room on the 6th floor. 505. I know three times on the door as I hear footsteps approaching. Marina opens the door and I see how stunning she looks. "Hey, Lizzy!!" She says and hugs me. "Hey, Marina!!" I say while I'm hugging her and exhaling her vanilla scent. "Hm.. Get in while I search for my earrings." She walked to the side and then I walk in. This is a big room and it is only for her. She closes the door and say "Sit down a little." I whisper an 'okay' and watch her while she's searching for her earrings. "Fuck," she mumbles "I can't find this shit!" I giggle and say "You look stunning in any way" This just come out as if I was flirting with her, what am I doing?? "Really? Well, if someone as beautiful as you is saying that, I guess I'll believe." She turns and I smile at her. We stay like that for almost two minutes and I speak "Hmm... I guess we should get going..."
"Yeah, you're right. Let's go!" She says as she grab my arm playfully and lead us outside the room.

"So, where are you taking me??" She asks and I think about that I should lead her to a fucking bored place where we would just drink a little and she wouldn't guess where are we really going to. "Hmm. To a bar I know... I really like it there." I say and she just nod.

We arrive and there where just four more people there and jukebox playing some Oasis song. We sit and drink some beers and after almost forty minutes Marina says "This place is kinda boring.... I think we should go somewhere else..." This is what I was waiting for. "Yeah, you're right. Let's go then." We paid and make our way towards the car. I just drank a little since I don't get wasted anymore but I guess Marina is kinda tipsy.

Marina doesn't pay attention to the way we're taking while she's trying to sing along to the radio but she' s more drunk than I thought. 'Love Me Like You Do' by Ellie Goulding starts playing. Marina groans. "Do youu believe that are people saying that Ellie hook up with my ex-boyfriend and I wrote a song bout her?? What they're thinking is this?? Some kind of British 'Bad Blood'? It is okay to say that me and Ellie don't talk or see each other for a long time but nothing happened, we just had to work even more. It makes me reeeally mad." Then Marina stays quiet for some time and when I look at her, she's sleeping peacefully. I can't wake her, she must be really tired.

I drive back to her hotel and stop on the parking lot wondering if I should take her upstairs in my arms. I mean, what if someone see's? She's doing promotion and if someone take a pic of her in this state, it'll be bad media for her. I go look for a while but almost no one is there so I decide to wake her up and help her going to her room. "Marina... Marina, wake.." I shake her a little and she wakes. "W-whaat?? Ohh, heeyy liz...." I don't know how she manages to be cute even when she's drunk. "We have to go to your room, babe." I say while helping her to get up. When we are on the elevator I push the button for her floor and she's still with her arm around my neck, trying to keep stead. "You know Liz....... you're soooooo beautiful." I blush hard as she's looking at my face with those pretty brown eyes. We arrive at her room and she jumps on the bed. "Take those shoes off, M.." I said trying to make he fell comfortable since I was thinking about the major headache she'll get when she wakes up. She kick her heels of and I put a glass of water and a medicine on her table along with a paper where I wrote down "For your health. Call me. Lizzy xx"

I'm turning to leave but a rusty voice interrupts me.

"Liz... pleaasee stay."
