Wouldn't have imagined I'd be somewhere this nice when I got up this morning...

[_rockprincess]

(continued from here)I looked around Savannah's room, just taking in how perfect it all seemed, how inviting and comfortable it looked. It was unlike anything I had now, or even had back in Sunnydale. We weren't exactly dirt poor back then, but we didn't have anything like this, or any hired help...any of that. Not that I begrudged Savannah any of

Comments

I giggled softly at her reaction. "Sure," I nodded. "We can get more pillows and build a fort for the two of us. Then Maria will have to come up here to fatten us up." I tugged her over so she'd actually sit on the bed and not act like she couldn't touch my stuff.

"Beds are also to sit on and chat on, Casey." I grinned and unwrapped the bowl of sandwiches, "Finger food?"

[_rockprincess]

"Right." I laughed, making myself comfortable on the bed and grabbing a sandwich. "Sounds mostly plan like to me. Though I'm not sure how to explain to Mike that I'm living in a fort made out of pillows in your bedroom." I giggled, taking a bit. "He'll probably think I've lost my mind."

I chuckled softly biting into one of the tuna sandwiches on top. "He'll understand. We can make him a little fort too." I offered with a grin, kicking my shoes off onto the floor.

[_rockprincess]

"I'm sure your parents are gonna be just thrilled with an 18 year old guy living in your room." I smirked, "Not that I think Mike would like the idea to begin with...he kinda likes taking care of everything himself." I told her.

It was pretty much literally everything, too. I was sure if he could find a way around it I wouldn't even be allowed to go busking anymore.

My smile widened towards her, "Yeah, somewhere like that. Juliard is like... the ultimate dream. You have to be next to perfect to be accepted there and what you compete against is people with as much talent with the same dream as yours." I let out a breath, "So, yeah, nice dream, gonna at least try. If I don't I'd be failing anyway and that's the worst that can happen."

[_rockprincess]

"Exactly." I smiled, "I'd much rather be striving for my dreams and falling a little short than playing it safe and getting no where near them." I agreed. "If I fail, then at least I tried...but if I don't even try? What was the point of even bothering to dream big?"

Seemed like good logic to me. You want big things to happen, you have to believe you can achieve them.

I took another mini-sandwich from the bowl. "Exactly. You understand this sort of thing. You don't know how many times I've tried to talk to my dad about this."

I handed a Pepsi to her.

[_rockprincess]

"Thanks. I understand it because I live it." I pointed out with a smile as I accepted the pepsi and popped it open. "I spend half my day at school trying to figure out how much time is left before I can go downtown and play when it's nice out...which I know is insane, I should be focusing on school...but..." I trailed off. It's not as if my grades suffered. Or at least not usually, and never enough for Mike to worry.

"Anyway...I think it's kinda hard for people that don't have that same drive to actually get it. People tend to act like it's just a hobby, that I couldn't possibly ever do it for a living. Except that I kinda already am in some ways..."

[just_savannah]

"I wasn't exactly expecting to do it." I blushed brightly. "It's not as if I go around kissing everyone... not like I'm a kiss slut or anything like that. I actually... I haven't." I started.

"That was sort of a first..." I admitted quietly, still red in the face.

[_rockprincess]

"Mine too." I told her softly. "And the list of things we both haven't done until we met keeps getting amusingly longer." I smirked slightly, trying to lighten things a bit. It wasn't if she didn't look adorable right now, but I could tell she was really embarrassed and she didn't need to be.

[just_savannah]

I laughed softly at her comment. "Guess we're like... two sides of a coin or something." I brightened, smiling softly to her. "Which makes me feel more confident that it was good, you know?" I laughed again.

[_rockprincess]

"Yeah, I guess we are." I smiled brightly to her. "It's pretty cool, if you ask me."

"And the kiss was really good...not that I have anything to compare it to or anything...but I liked it." I told her softly, then added on even softer, "Can we do it again?"
