Song Drabble 3
Paper Planes- M.I.A.
There were lobsters everywhere. Big ones, small ones, square ones. And they all chanted her name. She stared sideways at one particularly gorgeous lobster.
“Jesus, you’re gorgeous.” Lily said, stumbling over her own feet.
“Lily?” A gruff voice called out.
Lily immediately recognized the voice, “HI KAT!” Her voice reached a new octave, and she doubled over laughing. “Hi Kitty Kat. I have a question.”
Kat walked over, and grabbed Lily’s hands, steadying her. “Yes?”
“Whyyyyyyyy? Why are you a lobster? Not that lobster’s are bad, but I much prefer you in human form.” Lily grinned.
Kat laughed, and took Lily’s face in her hands, “Lily. You have to answer me seriously, ok?”
“Aye Aye captain. Oh My God. You have hands? Lobsters are not supposed to have hands. You are betraying your race Kitty Kat.” Lily’s hand wandered to Kat’s hips. “I’ve always wanted to slow dance with a Lobster.”
Kat leaned in closer to Lily, examining her eyes. “Lily? What the fuck are you on?”
Lily stopped swaying. “Erm, I don’t know. I think… HA! I don’t know, Kitty Kat. Someone handed me something, and then suddenly there were lobsters.”
“Oh Jesus.”
In My Life- The Beatles
They sat in a circle on the floor. The mood was melancholic and the only light was the heart shape candle Lisa had brought.
Kaya went first, “In my life… I want… Shit this hard.” She smiled and looked at Jack. “I want to conquer my fears.” She passed the candle.
Lisa held the candle, staring at it. Luke nudged her, “Lisa? You’re supposed to say it out loud…?”
“Right. Sorry. The flame is really happy though. Anyway, in my life… I want three dogs, named Elmo, Burt and Ernie.”
Luke was next, “In my life, I want to travel the entire world.”
Jack looked at Kaya, “In my life, I want to grow old with the ones I love.”
“Awww, Jack! That was so… sappy.” Lily teased. She gasped, as Kat’s hand snuck onto hers.
“Oh shut up, Loveless. You know you were thinking it.” Jack teased back as he passed the candle to Merveille.
“In my life, I want to win a BAFTA.” Merv smiled, and passed the candle.
Lily pulled her hand out from under Kat’s, causing Kat to fall into her. Lily grabbed the candle, looking into the middle of the circle, “In my life… I want to always remember Skins, and the people who helped me grow.” She looked at Kat as she passed the candle. Mainly you, I just want to remember you. Kat smiled, and grabbed the candle from her, letting their fingers graze.
“Lils, you want to tell me mine was sappy? That was the sappiest thing I’ve heard.” Jack interrupted Lily’s gaze.
“Yeah, well go fuck yourself.” Lily baited.
“Gladly.” Jack grinned.
“You guys? Hi. My turn.” Kat interjected, her voice tinged with a slight hint of jealously. “Ok. In my life I want my relationships to last more than 3 weeks.”
Everyone laughed, knowing that she was referring to her last relationship, with a boy named Tom, which did not end well. Kat passed the candle to Ollie and leaned back. Lily leaned over and whispered into Kat’s ear, “Does ours not count?” She let her lips linger on Kat’s earlobe. Kat pulled away and looked at Lily.
“I was talking about my real relationships, Lily. Not flings.” Kat’s words stung.
Lily closed her eyes and got up, “That was uncalled for.”
Kat’s eyes glazed over with tears, but her voice was still forceful, “Yeah, well someone had to say it.”
Lily shook her head, and walked out.
“In my life, I want my friends to get along.” Ollie’s voice cracked.
Kat glared at him, “Not now, Ollie.” She stood, and jogged out.
Ollie looked to Megan. She sighed, “Right well, obviously no one cares what I want.” Ollie opened his mouth to speak “I better go mediate between the two nut jobs.” Meg rose and jogged out as well, leaving the entire cast speechless.
Don’t Get Lost in Heaven- Gorillaz
“No. Don’t get up.” Lily said, as Kat lifted her arm off.
“Lily, we can’t stay in bed for 3 days.”
“Why?”
“Because it’s unhealthy. Plus, we have work today. The lake scene is today.” Kat turned her back to Lily, and bent over, grabbing her shirt.
“Fuck health. Fuck work. Come back.” Lily grumbled.
“Lily. Get up.”
“No.”
“Lily. Get up. We have to get the blocking for that lake scene down.”
“You seemed to have it down last night.” Lily bit her lip and smiled.
Kat stared at her, half smiling. “Lily. Get up.”
“Come back.” Lily put on her best puppy pout. “Please?”
Kat sighed, “If I come back to bed, do promise to get up in time for our call time?”
“Yes. Promise. Now get in here.” Lily pulled down the covers.
Kat slipped her shirt off and crawled back in. “I hate you.”
“You know you love me.” Lily cuddled up to Kat. “Xoxo, Gossip Girl.”
Kat swung her hand backwards and slapped Lily on the side of her head.
“I hate Gossip Girl too.”
Criminal- Fiona Apple
“Christ… what are we doing?” Lily’s voice shot through the blackness.
“Shhhhhhh.” Kat crawled hands and knees across the floor.
“Kat. This is criminal activity.” Lily came up from behind. “What are we doing?”
Kat turned around, and tried her best to spot Lily. “Revenge. That’s what we’re doing. The boys will be in for a big surprise tomorrow.”
“And you need me why?”
“You have really good hands.” Kat proceeded on her hands and knees.
“What?”
“Shhh, you’re going to wake them up. Come on!”
“You’re nuts, Kat.”
“I know. Now move your quite nice bum, and hurry up.”
“You think I have a nice bum?” Kat could feel Lily’s blush.
“Yes. I do. Now can we go?” Kat tried to contain her smile even though it was pitch black.
“Only if you say it again.”
“You have a nice bum.”
“Ok. You may proceed.”
“Thank you.”
Fixing a Hole- The Beatles
Lily looked mint in the plumber’s outfit, and Kat found it extremely hard to keep her eyes off the blonde’s body. She bit her lip as Lily bent over, looking for the plastic hammer she dropped.
“Jesus, Lily. Must you?”
Lily looked up, “Must I what?”
“Do that.”
“Kat. What you talking about?”
Kat pushed the air from her lungs. She looked back to her magazine, “Never mind. Nothing. I’m talking gibberish.”
Lily stared at her, confused. “Kat?”
Kat placed her magazine down, and looked at the dresser next to Lily. “Yes?”
“You were checking me out, weren’t you?” Lily grinned.
“I was not.”
“Really? Is that why you can’t even look at me?”
“No. I just am examining your dresser. It’s quite beautiful.”
“Uh huh.” Lily bent back over and grabbed the hammer. Kat held her breath and willed her eyes not to betray her. “Can you see my bum from this angle? Kat? Can you?”
“Nope. Not at all. Can not see your bum.”
“You’re not even looking.”
“I am too.”
“Yeah? With what eyes? Because the front ones are not looking my direction.”
“With my invisible ones. I am” Kat cleared her throat, “Looking with my invisible ones.”
“Oh, forgot about those.” Lily straightened up, and kneeled on the bed. Knowing she was torturing Kat, she slipped one of her overall straps down her arm. “Oh look here, I forgot to put on a bra. Silly me.”
Kat felt her face turn hot, and her eyes slipped over to Lily. The blonde smirked, and slipped the other strap down, revealing silky, pale-
“Oh god.” Kat breathed as she tore her eyes away.
“What’s wrong, Kitty Kat?” Lily asked, crawling over to Kat. “Have I got you flustered?”
Kat closed her eyes, “What would happen if I said yes?” She suddenly felt soft lips against hers, teeth nibbling gently on her lower lip. Kat leaned into the kiss, before realizing that it was Lily kissing her. Kat’s eyes popped open. “What the fuck?”
“You’re not the only one who finds it hard to look away.” Lily whispered in her ear, before leaning in for another kiss.
Far Away- Ingrid Michaelson
“You’re going where?” Lily looked astonished.
“Australia.”
“Why?”
“Because my father wants to go. Lily, why are you so upset?”
“I-I don’t know. Sorry.”
Kat embraced the blonde sitting on the bed.
“How are long are you going for?” Lily sniffled into Kat’s shoulder.
“I don’t know. No more than like 3 weeks though. Lils, it’s ok.” Kat tightened her embrace.
“I know.” Lily felt hot liquid gushing from her eyes. “Fuck!”
“Lily, I have to go and pack. Will you be ok?” Kat pulled back, and looked at the crying girl.
Lily rubbed her tears away, “Yeah. Of course. I think I’m still a wreck from the break up.”
“Yeah, well he is a douche. Good riddance. Shit, Lily, I have to go. I love you.” Kat kissed Lily’s forehead. “Bye. I’ll call you when I land.” She turned to leave.
“Kat?”
Kat turned around, “Yeah Lils?”
“Australian girls are hot.”
Kat laughed, “Oh, I know. Thus the reason why I’m eager to leave.” She winked.
Lily felt her throat tighten, and she forced out a laugh. “Right. Well have fun, Kitty Kat.” Lily looked down at the floor.
“Anything else?” Kat sounded hopeful.
Lily paused. “Nope! Have fun!” Her smile was weak, as she brought her eyes up to look at Kat.
Kat stared into Lily’s eyes, searching for something, before she spoke. “You know I love you, right?”
Lily fully smiled, “I know. I love you too.”
She watched as Kat closed the door behind her. "I really love you too."
You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb- Spoon
Kat gulped her drink down and pulled Lily onto the dance floor. “Dance with me!”
She pulled Lily closer to her, and placed her hands on Lily’s hips. The bass was thumping, and they were being pressed together by the drunk people around them. Kat’s heart was racing, and every time Lily moved into her, she felt it everywhere. Lily’s eyes closed, and Kat debated whether or not she should say it.
“Lily?”
Lily opened her eyes, “Hm?”
“Do you-“ Kat stopped.
Lily leaned in closer to Kat, sending waves of electricity down Kat’s body, “I can’t hear you. What did you say?”
Kat felt dizzy. Lily’s perfume was dancing through her nose, and she lost all control, “Do you want to get out of here? Back… erm… Back to my place?”
Lily smiled, “Sure, Kitty Kat. Just don’t make any moves, yeah? I’ve got a boyfriend after all.”
Kat waited for the guilt to hit, but she hated Lily’s boyfriend, so only a smirk snuck onto her face. “Can’t make any promises.”
The door burst open, and Kat stumbled backwards, Lily following. Their mouths never separating, their breathing sporadic, their hands everywhere.
“Fuck.” Kat breathed, as Lily’s hands made their way up Kat’s shirt, and under her bra.
Lily gently pushed Kat down onto the bed. She ripped open Kat’s shirt, the buttons popping off.
“Lily!” Kat looked down at her ripped shirt.
Lily giggled, “Sorry.”
"It's fine." Kat pushed Lily over, climbing on top of her, placing her mouth on top of Lily’s, her hands delicately trailing down Lily's torso, her fingers undoing the buttons to Lily's jeans. “I never liked that shirt anyway.”
