Best Friends with Benefits

chapter 2: Sleepover

Taking LP's hand and threading it through her arm, Miracle carefully led her where she lived. When there was traveling to get there, she unlocked the door and then let herself and LP in. After relocking the door, Miracle took off her boots and held them in her hands.

"You'll need to take your shoes off, Little Precious," Miracle instructed in a whisper voice. "But don't vorry, ve can take them up to my room."

LP took off her shoes as instructed and glanced all around the house. It didn't look like what she was used to. It didn't look like a hunting lodge for rich weirdo's. She walked inside and took Miracle's hand in hers. She felt very strange in her stomach as she followed her new friend in her room. Millions of questions flooded her mind, but she didn't dare speak any. She was silent once she was in the house as it wreaked of French perfume in the bathroom and it was very bright and nearly cheery seeming. It confused her in some ways, but she decided to play along for now.

Miracle led her up to her room. She squeezed LP's hand gently and then opened her bedroom door. The room was dark compared to the rest of the house. It had black walls with rose patterns on the largest wall. The other walls were coated with posters of Earthling heavy metal bands. There were also a few hand drawn pictures on the wall closest to the bed, one was distinctively of a man with a woman. The man had long blonde hair with icy blue eyes and a woman with scarlet hair and emerald eyes.

The curtains that covered the window were black velvet and the bed was a four-poster bed with red colored silk sheets. A mahogany desk in the room was covered with paper and a few pieces of clothing.

"And this is my room," Miracle told LP with a smile. "Make yourself comfortable." she threw her shoes expertly under the bed where a pair of stilettos were visible. The room had a chocolate vanilla mix in the air with a slight scent of fruit.

LP felt slightly relieved to see darkness, the brightness of the other parts of the house felt like her soul was being burned slowly. She walked over to the man and woman Miracle had drawn. She couldn't help but wonder about them as they looked very, very familiar to her. She put her hand up to touch, but was interrupted as she felt like Miracle was looking back at her. LP noticed and stepped away anxiously.

"Those two people haunt my dreams," Mircale murmured as she shut her bedroom door and turned on the lamps of the room. Her blonde hair was clipped up as she headed over to LP. "I do not know who they are, but they seem familiar somehow." Miracle shrugged. "Vould you like to borrow some night-clothes?"

Miracle wanted to change the subject as much as she could. LP wondered why she would do that, but it was probably for the best. The truth though is that Miracle was that she was trying to figure out who the couple in her dreams were that haunted her head. It was always hurt inside most of the time.

LP bit her lip and shrugged. "I guess we could share..." LP nervously examined Miracle's pajamas and turned a bright pink color.

Miracle couldn't help but chuckle at LP's facial change and chuckled. "If you don't vant to vear that I do have, I have some T-shirts you can choose from." she picked out one of usual shirts. Miracle then went to change herself and went to get some privacy, then come back out, she wore an airy black dressing robe to cover herself up a little bit.

"Thank you, you're too kind..." LP rubbed the back of her neck nervously. Trying to be familiar with circumstances, LP tried to make conversation with the stranger. "So... Where are you from?"

"I vas raised here in Denton, but I don't feel like I belong all the time," Miracle informed her. "Janet made sure vhen I vas old enough, I knew she and Brad vere not my real parents and I can't resent them for that... Yourself, Little Von?"

LP stammered as her brain stumbled through her words. "I... I'm far from here... I don't think you've ever heard of it... I won't tempt you into wondering my strange homeland..." LP tried to not stare at her new friend's clothing, but made horrible eye contact. She felt her hands drenched with sweat on her palms, she felt her ankle popping, LP wasn't sure what to do next, she was at a total loss.

Miracle looked at her, and then down at her night-clothes. She nodded once to herself as she fastened the robe around herself. "LP, it's getting late, ve'll have to share, but there's enough room for us both." she said in a kind voice, there was always time to talk in the morning.

LP looked out the window to see Miracle was right. It was very pitch dark out, it was dark as a Transsexual afternoon with the stars twinkling like diamonds and rhinestones in the night sky as dark as her grandmother's true heart. She smiled sheepishly and didn't say another word, she found herself in bed after Miracle turned over in her sleep.

LP stared at the ceiling until her eyes felt heavy, she yawned and fell straight asleep. She dreamt fondly of the moon-drenched shores of her home and made a fuss in her sleep. She dreamt about a strange late November evening that was very eventful for Miracle's adoptive parents, but both girls wouldn't understand it unless they asked about it. LP's eyes flashed open as she heard familiar voices in her head.

She wondered of what to do after dreaming about an evening of cannibalism, cross-dressing, brain washing and even murders. She heard her Uncle Riff Raff's voice and glanced at the picture of a blonde man in Miracle's picture with the woman with dark red hair and green eyes. After LP thought of her godparents, her jaw dropped as she thought about how both figures looked like them. She then looked back at Miracle full of wonder and bewilderment.
