A Rose By Any Other Name

Come With Me

"Hey, Lil. Guess what?" I said excitedly, placing a bowl of cereal in front of her

"What? How was last night, tell me everything!" She squeaked

"Well you're never gonna believe this. So Stella and I watched the show and it was amazing!" 

"And?" 

"And, Axl smiled at me. He also came up to me after the show and bought me a drink." I grinned

"No way!" Lillia screamed

"I met the rest of the band, and they wanted me to give you this." I said and handed her the napkin

"No way!" She screamed again

"I'm gonna faint! Oh my god, they all signed it! Oh god, Duff!" She yelled and fell from the chair

"They said they hope to meet you soon." I smiled

"Tell me, how you and Axl were last night? Are you dating? Will you date?!" Lillia asked

"He just bought me a drink." I shrugged

"No big deal."

"No big deal?" Lillia shrieked

"Axl Rose bought you a drink! What else did he say?" She asked

"He said she was beauty-fulllll." Stella said, coming into view. Stella spent the night over here because she was too drunk to drive herself home.

"Really?" Lillia's eyes grew wide

"Yep, and he wants to see her again." Stella said and took Lillia's bowl of cereal, granted she was too excited to eat it

"Did you say yes?" Lillia said wildly

"I said, I hope so." I answered

"Oh my god, this is amazing! Axl likes you, mom! You, Valentina Woolever!" Lillia said

"I know." I said, not being able to hide my smile

"Oooh, mom you're blushing." Lillia teased

"Oh I am not." I protested

"Anyways," Stella butted in

"I gotta go." She said, twrilring the keys around her finger

"Tell me when she wants to admit to liking him." Stella whispered to Lillia

I rolled my eyes, "Goodbye, Stella." 

She left out the back door, and Lillia turned back to me. 

"So, what's on the agenda for today?" She asked

"Well, we could go out to get some coffee and shop." I suggested

"Yes!" She said excitedly

"Hurry, hurry, get dressed. Maybe you'll see Axl." She teased

I ignored Lillia, and went to get dressed in plain jeans and a sweater, plus my favorite black boots, of course. Lillia was already dressed, everyday she stunned me more and more with her intelligence, wit, and beauty. She was the perfect kid I could ever ask for, and I loved her more than the world. Lillia had strawberry blonde hair and bright ocean eyes. She had fair skin and light freckles across the bridge of her nose. She was petite, small and thin. She was dressed in a plaid skirt, with black tights, and a blue sweater. 

I took Lillia down to our favorite coffee shop, coffee was apart of my daily necessities, and it grew on Lillia too. 

"Two coffees?" The barista asked as we walked in
