Crestfallen

Chapter 7

March 14

(9:00 a.m) 

"So what time does this party start again?" Crina asked Kevin over the phone. 

"He said that the party doesn't officially start until nine, but you girls should still get there at seven." Kevin replied in a shockingly nice voice. "James said that he has gotten permission to film at Mr. Watson's party this evening. That reminds me James will be there to film you in about an hour." 

"All right, I'll tell Lilium as soon as she gets out of the shower." Crina responded in a voice that told Kevin she had stayed up talking all night. "She has been in their for nearly thirty minutes!" 

"Well, make sure you girls dress in those..." Kevin stopped talking for a moment. 

What a pedophile! Crina thought as she looked down at her bowl of cereal. He wants them to get dressed up like school girls for their first day of shooting the show! That is so very wrong, they should wear whatever they want because this is their show after all! She knew that'd he ask them to wear those slutty outfits to do this performance but she hadn't expected him to expect them to do those! 

"I am not wearing that!" She said swiftly over the phone before he could finish his sentence. "Lilium and I will wear whatever we want for this! Remember we want to look real for goodness sake, Kevin." 

"I know that is why I stopped talking," Kevin responded in a rather passive voice. "By the way, you and Lilium need to learn that you have to sleep when you don't have performances so you can perform at you best." 

"Good bye Kevin," Crina said before he could nag her anymore. 

She put the phone on the holder. Kevin was beginning to get on her nerves and it was only nine in the morning! She'd known that they were going to film them for the first time today, but they'd thought that they weren't going to be here until this evening's party. In the end it didn't matter, the only thing that mattered was they got things straight, or rather not straight. 

Crina got up from the bed and began to make up the bed. She wasn't the neat type, however, she at least wanted them to look good on television for the first time. Though she could have waited until Lilium came out and had her clean the room like a mad woman, she'd rather get it done now and not put any stress on her. 

After telling Lilium last night that she'd loved her, she'd felt that Lilium had not meant her reply. It didn't surprise her that Lilium wasn't over the fact that this was real and not a game. She knew Lilium was in love with her, she just hasn't excepted it yet. Though, she still felt like there was a chance that Lilium would never see that she was in love with a girl, and she'd go off with some guy who only wanted her for sex. 

Lilium was hers, she loved her more than many people could ever love anyone. Though this had started as some sort of game, now it was real. They were real, nothing was fake, no matter what the media did they'd always be together. No matter what. 

Crina turned on the television to VH1, the music channel that she rather enjoyed listening to in the morning. She checked each morning to see how far up the list About You had climbed on the Top 20 list. Since yesterday they were number six and she really hoped they'd get to number one. 

The bathroom door opened with Lilium's wet head popped out. She smiled awkwardly at Crina. 

"I forgot my bra," She said with red checks, obviously embarrassed. "I want to wear the black one, it should be on the night stand." 

Crina smiled and partially laughed at her forgetful friend. She walked over to the dining room table of the hotel suite to hand Lilium the black bra that had made its way from her suitcase to the dining area.
