Okay, so maybe it was a tad bit wrong to ask Bennie if he knew a 'Gia' that went to the academy and to go through describing what she looked like as if she were right in front of her. She felt like a stalker and yet she really had no time to be stalking people. Or maybe she just sounded obsessed? No, she never obsessed over anything other than her weight and her bucket list and this Gia chick was officially added to her list after the way she reacted to her asking her out basically on a date. No, Louie hadn't gotten mad over the obvious rejection by running outside and barfing. It was a bit confusing, since she was pretty sure Gia wasn't into boys...Or was at least curious about chicks.
Gia. Like the model only without the Aids, drugs, and not having a boyfriend and a girlfriend at the same time (she had to look her up because she didn't get what she meant by that, really). But her name wasn't entirely what stuck in her mind-just one word: Beautiful. She really hadn't felt that weird butterflies-murdering-each-other feeling since she was what? Fourteen and dating a much older female who was the first one to tell her all about the bucket list and that she should live her life in the moment instead of thinking so far ahead. She taught her how to think nontraditional and it seriously made a huge difference in Louie's life...Or maybe she was just chasing after the initial feeling of warmth and glitters and sparkles she now lacked and that made her feel so empty she just kept running away more and more often on some feeble attempt of looking for someone somewhere in the world to make it go away.
Or maybe she was about to find out that she was great at obsessing and being a stalker. Maybe she should take it up professionally...
Heavy sarcasm there.
But, all in all, she found out her last name through Bennie: Gia Leviton. She'd heard of the Leviton family and the many kids. Did she care? No. Bennie said she was new money. Did she care? No, it only made her like her more. She liked that she had a bunch of siblings, she liked that she used to be dirt poor and was suddenly rolling in it; it showed that she actually had a sense of value and was not all about appearances...At least that was the whole new money deal and why the old money kids hated them...What Louie tried to emulate with her easy going, hippie like behavior. So it was what? Midnight...a little past it actually, and she was wearing her old Nirvana tee shirt which was way too big for her and looked like she had worn it out more than she should have, some itty bitty Calvin Klein briefs, and then some ratty looking Chucks. It had been a good week since she last saw Beautiful at the bakery and she had been trying to figure out which dorm was her's to return her coat.
Yes, she forced herself to remember not to forget to give her back her coat which was actually extremely difficult. So to remind herself, she put the coat on her bed post at the end of her bed so she saw it every morning and every night before she went to bed. She was going nuts-she had to be...But anyway, that was beside the point. She was now standing across the hallway, starring at Beautiful's door, wondering whether she should knock or not. She left a very fun video game night with a bunch of guy friends just to bring her back her coat which was in her slender arms. Her hair was messy as it always was but up in a messy and lazy bun, and she was biting her lower lip slightly in contemplation. This shouldn't be hard...She just wanted to fuck her right? No, she didn't...Well, she did...She would actually love to get into Beautiful's pants but she really did want to know what made her barf. Was it nerves? Something she said or did? She didn't even touch her...Most chicks would have either jumped in her lap like a happy bitch or let Louie jump in their lap and screw right there in the bakery. But Beautiful ran outside and barfed.
She barfed.
Okay she wasn't going to kid herself-the rejection did hurt mostly because the last person to do that was, well, her mother. The night she confessed that she never wanted to get married because she didn't like boys her mother simply ran out of the room and barfed in the toilet in the bathroom and then her father told her to get out of the house and go on one of her many trips and not to come back until she 'turned back to the old Louie'. But this was her. Lesbian. Dyke. Vagina loving Louie. She was never different-she'd been this way since birth. Her first kiss was with the neighbor's older daughter when they were still playing with Barbies.
Sighing deeply, Louie forced herself to move her fist up and knock on the door. She just had to return the jacket...And then get in her pants to make the rejection go away and remind herself that no one could reject her...Okay she would be realistic-that wasn't going to happen...But she would get into her pants eventually. She had to...It wasn't just that Gia was Beautiful...it was the fact that Louie's pride and already damaged ego was slowly starting to cloud her own judgment.

So she’d asked, politely, if the antique white baby grand piano she’d bought with her own money in the city could be put in her dorm room, and after a couple of days of protesting, the school had finally given in with a bit more pleading then she’d originally intend to put forth, and she’d since skipped every single class in order to sit there and play it, the white ivory keys reaching to meet her hands as she pressed down on the pedals, making sweet, rich music out of a series of buttons and keys. It was amazing to her how she could string something together so easily and end up with a song that she knew, that was on the radio, that someone else had written. When she was feeling particularly boisterous, she’d sing along to the lovely music, the piano drowning out her voice despite the usually correct tone and inclination on all the right parts of the song. She could sing, that was for sure. She could sing and she loved her damn languages, but she never, ever progressed far with either. Too much stage fright to stand up there and play in front of ten people, let alone a hundred or a thousand. So it stuck inside the confines of her four walls, the music pouring out of her easily and fluidly, her thoughts and emotions focused solely around the sound of the song as she heaved back and forth on the piano, her once gentle keystrokes becoming harsher as the frustrating leaked through her fingertips. She was so tired of her family, and so tired of going out, and if she could, all she’d do was lay around in her room and stare at the ceiling, making patterns out of the popcorn, and occasionally she’d get up and order Chinese food, but it would pile up outside of the door because she’d never get out of bed to go get it when they delivered it, and then she’d have an affair with the delivery boy to pay for all the stockpiled Chinese food, but it would have gone bad, so she’d never get the chance to eat it, and she’d simply wither away until there was nothing left. Talk about a life plan. It sounded idealistic, if nothing else. And maybe, just maybe she’d get up and play the piano in between stints at the phone and laying in bed. But probably not.
And on top of her nearly psychotic piano-playing, she’d been desperately, chronically ill for the past week or so. After she’d puked at the bakery, she had to stop periodically on her way back home to throw up, and now was about the only day out of the whole week - a Friday, so it wasn’t like she was really missing anything - she’d been able to get up without feeling nauseous enough to toss her cookies onto the Persian rugs. She’d felt bad for Louie at first, who she still remembered with a clarity that was slowly scaring the shit out of her, and then she’d felt even worse when she realized that she’d left her jacket on the chair in the stupid, stupid bakery. With the rest of her damn Pain Au Chocolat. She was pretty sure just the thought of her expensive, furry jacket sitting forlorn and lost had been enough to trigger another bout of nausea. All together not a very attractive way to spend the time. And just as she was getting back into the horrible memory of walking down the street by herself, underdressed for the weather, there was a knock barely audible over the sound of her completely loud and obnoxious playing. She stopped abruptly, silencing the chords by slamming down the lid over the keys, the relatively large dorm room looming with the eerie silence that had chased her playing.
By the time she’d made it to the door and opened it, it had completely slipped her mind that she was only in a black lacy bra and a pair of underwear, both of which she’d gotten from Aeropostale for way less then they should have sold for. Again, not too big on the designer duds thing. More comfortable. And that was evidenced by the wear and tear on the edges of her bra, old, but still pretty enough to serve her purpose, which was just lounging around. And it wasn’t like she was fat. She was far from it, verging on stick-skinny, but with enough curves to get her by. Blue eyes landing on a slightly shorter girl, she took in the shirt, the underwear, the chucks, and a grin stretched across her lips. “Louie! I was just thinking about you.” and then she spotted the jacket in her hands, a white, fluffy beast, and she was about ready to flip a shit, her insides bouncing around a million miles per hour. “Come in, come in!” and that was about the time when a draft came in from outside, and she realized she was in nothing but her underwear. Swallowing back a lump in her throat, she pushed open the door the rest of the way and motioned inside, attempting to ignore the slight color that had come into her cheeks with that horrendous realization. Play it off like it’s normal. Just. Do. It. “It’s a bit messy…” which was an understatement. There was an assortment of music books everywhere, the TV was on, flashing that annoying electronic snow, because the cable box was broken, and a couple of aba ndoned bowls of cereal sat in the dorm sink. She quickly shut the door to the bathroom, which was worse, and flashed a quick grin. “But make yourself at home anyway…? I’m really sorry for the other day, I wasn’t feeling well at all, and actually I was sick just up until.. Today.” she winced, knowing it probably sounded like a lie, but she was usually utterly incapable of lying, so at least there was that as reassurance.

The second the door opened, Louie's eyes couldn't be on her face. Was she trying to hide this little fact?. No, of course not. Without any shame, she arched an eyebrow and smirked at the site of her, all feelings of self doubt evaporating and she didn't want to hand over the coat. What if she put it on? That wouldn't be a good thing. She looked delicious like that...Half naked. She might as well be naked, right? She would suggest it if she stopped talking long enough to let her regroup her thoughts. This was pretty different from the last person she met at that bakery. Maybe she should hit on her again and see if she raced to the bathroom to barf. That would be hilarious...Not really.
When she said she was thinking about her, Louie couldn't help but let the typical oh really? look fall onto her attractive features. Louie was about ninety nine point nine percent sure she didn't even cross her mind half as much as Beautiful crossed her's. Then again Louie had way better distractions like other women, the parties, the drugs, and traveling...but it was only a week or so, so all she really did was screw two chicks and went to a party every night. It worked. It always worked and it was her favorite and only remedy other than running away physically to another country, "Oh really?" she didn't believe her. Of course she didn't. People didn't just so happen to think about Louie in any sort of way other than Where the fuck is she this time? and that was about it. Other than that she didn't cross people's minds unless they were looking for a good time. Interpret that however you would like....It's probably meant in that sense.
She stepped into the dorm, not really caring that it was messy. Louie's was no different only it was full of stuff she bought and laundry she never did since she just bought new clothes. She wasn't a laundry-doing person. She found it a bit pointless when there was so much clothing in the world and people who needed to live off those five cents per tee shirt in those sweat shops. Give them work right? They needed to feed their families too. Or maybe she was just lazy as shit when it came to house work...Yeah that was probably it more than the other. She simply made herself at home, as was asked, by lazily plopping on the window seat, using her coat as her headrest against a few music books that were there and using the others on the other side as a foot rest so she made a slight V shape with her slender frame, "Right. Totally believable," Nope-she didn't believe her.
She didn't know Beautiful enough whether to know if she was lying or not anyway so either way she probably wouldn't have believed her, "So, Beautiful, heard you're one of the Leviton kids, yeah?" a slender arm had reached down and grabbed one of the music books, cradling it a bit in her hips as she flipped through it, "Sounds annoying as shit, really," she shrugged, "I don't know how you handle it. I'd never be home...Less than I already am anyway," she was keeping the topic on Beautiful, in a way of trying to pry for information to get to know her better. It was a bit ridiculous that she wasn't trying to be more sneaky with it but Louie wasn't an entirely sneaky person. She did what she wanted when she wanted to and if she didn't feel like being sneaky then she wouldn't be. It was why she couldn't be in a relationship because if she decided to cheat, she wouldn't be able to cover it up. Then again, no one caught her interest like that other than Clara...
And it felt wrong, going after Beautiful in hopes of getting something like what she had with Clara but, well, fuck it. She had nothing better to do with her time other than her bucket list and Beautiful became part of that bucket list as of last week. The goal? Get in her damn pants and take her virginity because apparently she was totally virginal. She had to be if she was throwing up when someone hit on her.

Gia was genuinely an honest person, she it took her by surprise when the truth wasn’t accepted. Instead of rebuking with something that might offend in hopes of retrieving an acceptable reaction, she merely dropped her chin until she was staring at her feet, for just an instant and then coughed to disguise her discomfort with the fact that she wasn’t being believed at the moment. It really, really wasn’t something she knew how to handle. Shoving a hand through her loose, messy hair, she frowned. “I guess you don’t have to believe me if you don’t want to, it’s just that skepticism isn’t exactly appreciated when I know I’m not lying. How could you know what I’m thinking, anyway?” she questioned, crossing her arms over her flat, slender stomach in something like proof, her frown deepening instantaneously, until of course the other girl came inside and made herself comfortable. Being from the south, even if Texas didn’t exactly count, there was little she liked more than seeing someone happy in someone else’s space. It felt like being at home and being warmed and welcomed, and not to mention the girl was obviously not one much for staying in one place so long, so it was a bit of a compliment that something like that would happen. Maybe she crashed down on people’s couches all the time, Gia didn’t know. She didn’t really care, either. She still took it as a good thing that she was staying to chat, right? Or maybe it was just her outfit. Either way, the previous insulted way she’d taken her excuses, however true they were, had evaporated as she hunted for a particularly high pile of books and other assorted things to seat herself on, considering the bed was in the other room and her couch was currently occupied by a tall, skinny, beautiful specimen of humanity. If only she could be that small. A quiver of longing flowed through her, and she cut it off at the neck instead of further embracing it, nervously tapping her fingers on her hip as she heard the words the made the entire room tilt at it’s axis.
It was dark in there, thank god. She would have seen the incredible paleness that came over her as her cheeks drained of their color immediately, a nervous sort of laugh escaping from her throat. She couldn’t deny it; she was a Leviton through and through. But she could, fortunately, save herself by agreeing. It did suck. Gia nodded, her hair bobbing around her shoulders as she crossed her arms again, uncomfortable so far away and suddenly a bit chilled through the glass that was at her back. “They’re my family, I can’t get away from them.” unfortunately. That was the unsaid word and it was obvious she wished she could disappear off the face of the earth when anyone ever brought up her last name. the connotations that went along with it were pretty horrible. Whore. Slut. They were all words that could be associated with her mom and then with her family, too. Everyone assumed they were garbage, but that wasn’t the worst part. The worst was knowing they were damned justified in thinking that, because they really weren’t anything but trash that needed to be taken to the curb. She still marveled at her ability to maintain a somewhat normal life, if she never brought it up. “And even if I try, they just come after me. Are you not home often?” she questioned, tilting her head and forgetting momentarily about her own problems in favor of learning some this maybe-perfect person may have had.
“So,” she stated, watching her flip through the music book, moving closer so she could sit in the nook between her arms and her hips, the indent in her body. Louie didn’t take up much room on the couch and neither did Gia; they both fit reasonably well. “Do you play?” she questioned, indicating with her head to the book in her lap and then to the piano in the far corner. Obviously she played, but it wasn’t obvious whether or not someone like Louie, who was very, very artsy, or she looked it, if she wasn’t, actually played.

"They stop coming after you after a while, though," she said softly and a bit absently but it was something Louie did often think about. They only came after her once. Once. And it wasn't even her parents, it was Baas who came after her and when he realized she wasn't going to go home with him, he didn't come after her again. None of them did and maybe she was running in hopes that someday someone would come after her instead of her constantly having to chase everyone else. But she knew better than to dwell on it. She would always be chasing after people...It was what she did best other than everything else she was pretty good at. She was good at getting what she wanted without having to be discreet about it. It was like putting her own signature on everything she touched and did.
"I only go home for birthdays," she glanced over at her with a soft grin, "Other than that I'm not really all that welcome," she chuckled as if it were an inside joke of her's. She wasn't welcome by her mother until she was either (a) pregnant (b) heterosexual or (c) a combination of both because if she was still gay and pregnant, her mother could probably look the other way but if she was a combination of both her mother would be ecstatic and probably would have chased after her every time she ran off to go fulfill another item on her bucket list. She never did tell her mother that she was on the list. It was the very last item: Say sorry to mom.
And she never actually called her mother 'mom'. Not since she was five years old. After that she was Ms. Vanderbilt.
She was a bit into the book which was basically full of notes and songs she knew but could never play because though she could easily read music, she only knew one song and one song alone on the piano and it wasn't that difficult of a song. Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven. The only reason she knew how to play that song was because Clara loved it so she forced herself to learn more than just reading music and eventually she was playing it in it's entirety to her in their bungalow in Brazil late into the afternoon, both as naked as the day they were born after a long night of sex and morning sex. Clara would lounge on the top of the piano and watch as Louie concentrated on the piece but would always end up stopping halfway because Clara would be on her lap wanting to hump the crap out of her again. It was how it always was with them...physical. The emotional was there but it wasn't often... Louie could never complain though-to her she was head over heels and no one could change her mind about it.
"Only one song," Louie's voice was a bit quiet as she said it, "I haven't played it in a while though..." she flipped through the pages until she got to the page of Beethoven and the only song she knew how to play on the piano, "That one," her eyes wavered a bit on the words and the notes as they formed in her mind and the images of Clara smiling and laughing again, her whispering sweet nothings into Clara's ear when they were laying on the beach looking at the stars, tracing the curve of her spine, running her fingers through her dark locks...And then she was looking up at Gia and she was glad she probably couldn't see the look of longing in her face and the sudden pain that struck her chest at the thought of Clara-the only person she currently loved and hated all at the same time.
"But you should teach me something," she smiled, sitting up and closing the book, "I probably won't learn anything since I'll be distracted by you, Beautiful," she winked at her, "But it's worth a shot. Teach me something," she got up in one smooth motion, grabbing Beautiful's wrist gently to somewhat drag her to the piano so she could learn a new song. A song that would remind her of Beautiful...and forget about Clara.

It must be horrible to not be wanted by your family. Well, horrible and so freeing that it almost made Gia pass out with a the undeniable joy that it would bring her. Finally free of her ridiculous, garbage associated last name and able to spend the rest of her life living it the way she wanted, without the unwanted press coverage because no one would care. Out of the seventeen kids, she was probably the least interesting. Chloe was far better, far more fun to talk to and be around and sometimes, she wished she could just let her be the one who had to do everything. But she felt the unbearable responsibility of taking control over everything and that could leave her some pretty uncomfortable positions, if she wasn’t careful. But still. Nothingness. It was her ultimate goal, wasn’t it? It was everyone’s ultimate goal. To die. It was what happened in the end and maybe, just maybe, she’d considered pursuing it a bit quicker then she should have. She’d starve herself to death, before anything else happened. Her kidneys would just shut down or she’d become dehydrated from not having enough food in her system and eventually croak. But maybe they’d leave her alone, then. Maybe her sixteen family members would finally realize that she didn’t want them, she didn’t want any part of them. Releasing something of a laugh that allowed Louie to realize she was partly serious, she stated the next fact without much thought and immediately wanted to revoke it, just for the connotations it held. “Maybe I’ll come with you the next time, then. See if they come after me.” but of course she wouldn’t, because she had a responsibility to go to school in the fancy, expensive academy they’d put her in, and so far she was doing well. Or well enough. There wasn’t much to excel at because the curriculum wasn’t that difficult, to be honest.
And before she could really contemplate what was happening, she was sitting at the piano next to Louie, her slender figure showing goosebumps off like they were the new accessory because the big, bay window was right behind her and there was all the cold air coming through it. It was chilly but worth it, because the cold heightened her senses and made it easier to focus on the keys, to hear the distinguished notes and everything else that was going through her mind. “Um.. I don’t really remember the title,” she stated, a bit nervous as she always was when she was playing in front of an audience. It didn’t make much of a difference who it was, be it her brothers and sisters or maybe a kid she liked back at home, but now things were different and she was tapping the keys in front of someone who’d been around the block way more times then she had, who’d done things she couldn’t ever think of, who had more money to her name then there were atoms in a plastic cup. Swallowing hard, she started on the heavier chords, moving her foot on the pump in accordance to the rhythm and singing along to the melody, her voice high and clear, as it was when she was speaking but amplified by the bronze chords just inches away from her rapidly moving hands. It wasn’t an easy song for a beginner, but considering the day and the time, she figured they had a while and Louie knew how to play Moonlight Sonata, so this really wasn’t a step up at all, merely just another milestone that would help her transition into something like a regular playing pattern. God knows she could afford a good piano, if she wanted it. The best in all pianos, if she so chose.
“Okay, you start off here…” she murmured, placing her hands on the keys because she couldn’t actually read music, which would explain all of the music books. She was trying to teach herself and it was going unsuccessfully, for the most part. She could, however, hum a melody and then usually get it down on the keys within a couple of minutes, so it wasn’t surprising that she could play most songs. Just the level at which they were played varied. “and that’s eight times, and then you hit this one,” she sounded a key an octave over at the same time, deepening the note. “And then back up, a couple more times, and then you begin the melody with your left hand. she was singing it, subconsciously, as she played, a habit that she found impossible to break despite years and years of trying. “Have you got it?”

Louie's eyes watched Beautiful's slender fingers, memorizing the notes as they were played. She was imagining the music sheet in front of her and the notes forming on them because that was the only way she knew how to play...If she sat there and took the time to read the notes and take her times. She could do it though, right? It was Beautiful. She'd learn for Beautiful. So after forcing herself not to get distracted by the goosebumps that formed on her pretty skin, she watched her fingers on the white and black keys and when she stopped, she slipped her hands under her's and repeated what she played. She knew the song...knew the melody, the rhythm, the notes, and the chords but what she didn't know was the timing or how to actually play it because she never played it before. One could memorize a music sheet but playing it was different from writing it down or simply having it in one's mind, "Let me take you out," she continued playing it along with her but slowly, still trying to figure it out as she went along though she rarely messed up.
She glanced over at her slightly, "One weekend... she was blunt about it because it was obvious Louie liked her even if it was currently just a puppy crush and basically just to get in her pants at the moment. Louie was known for sleeping around with people but it it wasn't in the way that it made her seem like a slut because she was so down to earth about it like some hippie who was all about the love that it just seemed normal. She wasn't like Bellamy Montague who openly was just a total downright whore. No, Louie wasn't a bitch and was loveable and that was probably why people just didn't call her a slut. After all, she only slept with guys when she was extremely drunk or high and there weren't attractive females around.
"Just once and if you don't have fun I'll stop bothering you," did Louie feel like she was bothering her? After she threw up, yes, she felt like she was probably slightly annoying her with her antics at trying to get her on a date. With one leg on either side of the bench, she gently ran her fingertips over her skin, slowly smoothing away a few goosebumps that left a daring trail behind. She stopped at her shoulder where Louie lightly brushed her lips before leaving a small peck. It was like she was attempting to convince her...but obviously wasn't pushing it any further than what she just did. It was only one weekend. There was no harm in that, right? And she wouldn't miss school so she couldn't use that as an excuse and this weekend nothing was really going on event wise at the academy or the city either. She highly doubted, by the way she spoke about her family, that anything would be going on on that front either and if she was home on a Friday night playing piano? Chances are she probably had no plans this weekend with friends either. So in Louie's mind it was a win win situation. Louie got to hang out with her some more and get to know her and all Beautiful had to do was tag along and have fun.
But in all seriousness if she didn't have fun she would stop bothering her and move on to the next chick that came in her line of sight. No point in trying to get into someone's pants that were bolted down and had its own home built security system, "What do ya' say, Beautiful?" she looked up at her with slight puppy dog eyes as if somewhat begging her to just spend the weekend with her. Louie knew exactly where to go and what to do and it honest to God did not involve sex. She seriously did want to get to know her...at least on a superficial level because one could never have to many friends...Or friends with benefits...that always works too...

It was amazing, Louie’s ability to pick up the music without trying very hard. Or maybe she was trying, but her determination didn’t seem very full of effort, and it sort of made Gia jealous. Sure, she could hear a song and play it, but when that was different then knowing the music sheet for it as well. She smiled, though, happy with her ability to show the girl a new song and teach her how to play it the right way, or at least how she liked to hear it played. It was pretty, slow and meaningful. For her first tattoo she’d decided that getting something from the lyrics would be a good thing to have on her permanently. She loved it now, and she doubted that would change as time passed. Maybe she could be like all those other people with their inked skin and draw strength from a couple of bolded words outlined on the flesh that would last her from her until eternity. Eyes slowly closing and opening again, leisurely, languid blinks, she slid her hands off the keys once Louie had it and looked at her, watched her play. It was peaceful, it was calming, as it nearly always was, and Gia found herself longing for something that could take her away to a different place and didn’t involve a heavy, expensive instrument. Catching herself before she lifted a piece of the other girl’s hair out of her face so she could see better, she turned her hands back down to the keys and watched as the rhythm went by, and soon enough a question was out of Louie’s mouth to destroy the silence and tear it to pieces. It wasn’t something she’d contemplated, to be honest, because she knew something like that wasn’t one of her better decisions and Gia had absolutely no idea how to handle what was going on in her life at the moment, let alone stand beside someone while they figured theirs out. Unless she meant go out in a friendly way, which there was some residing doubt that she did. She’d admitted to liking the same sex in the bakery, and there was nothing wrong with that, but Gia couldn’t… it wasn’t right. For her.
There were times when she found herself staring at the enchanting female figure, the hips and the width they contained, and the clothes of the other girls in the school, but it was only once or twice and she’d look away as soon as she realized she was doing it. So why did she want to say yes to her so badly? Why did she want to go out with her, not just as friends? She bit her lower lip, the tell tale sign that contemplation was occurring in her brain, and debated the options. She could stay inside her room, lounging around in her underwear as she was now, for the remainder of the weekend. That would provide, what, maybe two, three hours of entertainment tops, and the rest would be spent bored out of her mind? She could hang out with her family, and that would be good for a while, until she realized that she didn’t actually want to be associated with them out of sheer embarrassment. Things weren’t going to stay so smooth forever. Honestly, she just wanted them to settle down and help her figure out what was going on in her own life before she had to do everything else in god’s name to make it all right for them. Unfortunately, things never worked that way and Gia had to help her family before her self, which might explain why she despised them so much. It wasn’t that she actually hated them as individuals, just that she could think of umpteen other things she’d rather be doing than be called a Leviton in public and acknowledged as one of them. So slowly, she nodded.
Her breath hitched as Louie’s lips touched her skin, her lungs refusing to continue pumping air into her system in accordance to the lovely, lovely girl at her side. She wanted to touch her, to brush her fingertips over the tanned, smooth skin and move away the strands of hair in her eyes. To tell her that if she wasn’t welcome at home, she could come to Gia’s room and she’d make it all go away, because obviously it bothered her. She could say she didn’t want a home, but everyone needed a place to call their own; if you didn’t have that, the only thing you had was yourself and the clothes on your back. It wasn’t a very nice existence, she understood that much about living nomadically as Louie seemed to do. She nodded again once she could retain a steady breathing pattern, offering a shy smile, her head turned towards the girl, sitting sideways, but instead of actually looking at her, she was staring at the nirvana shirt. It was good that the lighting inside the room was dim; she was flushed from the exhilaration of giving in to at least one of her wants. “Yes, I’ll go out with you.”

When she said yes, Louie had to contain her excitement and the only way to do so was bit hard on her lower lip as the large grin fell on her face. It wasn't a smile that someone could say made her look devilish or like she was about to trick the other female in some way. No, it was honestly one of excitement; of getting to know Beautiful, getting away for the weekend with someone instead of alone, and maybe not thinking about Clara whenever she had some spare time which was why she honestly stayed busy and around people so often lately. Thinking about Clara made her bones, her muscles, and her heart ache tremendously. To have someone beside you one minute and the next their gone because of you...Having the white sheet put over them because of you...Resting six feet under the ground because of you. It didn't matter how many different ways she tried to look at it, Louie still felt guilty and probably always would. It was an accident...But an accident that happened because of her own stupidity and no one else's. She took responsibility for it mentally...Even if the police didn't pin the blame on her because she paid them off.
"As much as I don't want you to put clothes on," she spoke softly a bit as she did before as if still trying to keep the silence but failing epically, "It's cold out, Beautiful...And our weekend starts now," she smiled again. Yes, the weekend started right now because it was Friday night. If they wanted to get the whole weekend, they needed to start on Saturday morning but they wouldn't get to where Louie had planned until Saturday morning...She was just hoping Gia didn't mind traveling because where they were going was a place she knew she would love. It was the beach, the rain forest, the wild life, the tranquility, the thrill, the sheer beauty of nature all in one location and she was sure Beautiful would fall in love with it just by looking at it for the first time just like Louie did.
Swimming with dolphins, lounging lazily on a beach house, watching the sunset, having the sounds of the forest as your own personal orchestra, bonfires to keep them warm in the cool nights. It would be a nice change from the winter weather here in Milan, Italy. New Zealand was the perfect getaway and she was hoping she would like it...Louie had honestly put a lot of thought into it though she didn't think Beautiful would agree to go. That totally caught her off guard a bit to be honest. It was probably why she was so excited at the moment. However, she still sat there, not entirely wanting to move away from her. She was just as the nickname Louie gave her and it didn't help that in one weekend she would probably want her more. The untouchable...only because they were the same gender. New Zealand's islanders at least didn't care about gays. Louie tried to avoid those places as much as possible unless she knew of an underground gay community so to speak. It wasn't that's he couldn't get along with straight people because she got along with everyone...She just felt more accepted and less alienated when around people who were going through the same type of rejection she was going through.
But Louie eventually forced herself to stand, moving Beautiful's hair a bit out of her face before giving her a peck specifically on the cheek. She was pushing her luck with her actions and she knew it but it was a risk she was willing to take, "Plane leaves in an hour and a half..." Yes, Louie knew the flight schedules, why? Because she was constantly on planes to the point where she might as well know. It was like the first thing she googled every morning from her phone other than the weather just in case she felt like flying somewhere that day in that particular time.

She felt insane, going along with a plan that might involve something like sky diving or walking through the jungle. That’s at least how she pictured Louie, despite the girl’s relatively calm and placid exterior. Brushing her fingers through her hair, she offered something of a nervous smile and a sweet, quiet blush when she mentioned how she didn’t want her to get dressed. In all reality, she welcomed the idea. “What should I bring?” she questioned, slipping off the bench to rummage around in her belongings and find something that covered way, way more of herself then was currently on display now. As was typical of the girl when she didn’t feel like she had anyone to impress, or just when she was going on a flight and didn’t feel like dressing up in anything special, she slipped into that comfortable, urban-bohemian style that reflected her home life absolutely perfectly. Some things were slightly mismatched but she managed to make them work regardless, favoring long, flowy materials to things that would clink to her slender figure and make her stand out all the more. Among other things that she put on her figure were a sweater, a green army style shirt with a pocket that she could stick whatever in, and a long, lace maxi skirt that was so delicately stitched she could hardly run it through the washer for fear of ripping it to pieces. On her feet were a mere pair of sandals, nothing special since they wouldn’t be showing anyway, and she stuffed a bag to the brim with a couple of clothes of every size, running into the bathroom to stick her toothbrush, toothpaste and a couple of vitamins she practically lived off of into the layers of material. Realistically, she knew the weekend would go by really fast and she might just come back wearing what she set out in, but if there was one thing that struck her about the other girl it was the fact that she hardly seemed to go by a stereotypical plan. There really wasn’t anything normal about her and that fact both enticed and scared the living shit out of Gia, who’d lived her whole life by the book and understood only how to play the game by those rules.
Biting the inside of her cheek, she shuddered, barely visible, as Louie’s lips touched her skin once more and resisted the urge to turn her head and catch her mouth with her own, the impulse something she’d never quite experienced in this high of an intensity and frankly, didn’t care if she ever did again. She didn’t want it, she didn’t want to feel the level of rejection and go through all the trouble people (she supposed, somewhere on the inside, she knew the truth, however reluctant she was to admit it) that were gay went through. It was nice, to finally meet someone who could make her feel like this, to see how she didn’t have to pretend to be someone else to make this one specific example of humanity happy. But it wasn’t probable. She knew her parents would be furious at the thought of her turning out gay; she knew they’d probably excommunicate her and never talk to her again. That wasn’t what she wanted. Despite how much she’d distance herself from them on purpose, there was never a day that went by when she didn’t talk to at least one of her seventeen siblings and however much she may express her disdain towards them for making her an anomaly, she loved her family. Something would be wrong with her if she didn’t. “Doesn’t your family have a plane?” she questioned, slightly curious as the inner workings of the girl before her. She didn’t know her last name, but judging by the opposition to old money, she was either one of them or new money who’d been tormented; either way, Louie was loaded and there was little doubt about that in Gia’s mind. So why wouldn’t they have a plane? Her family did. Always. There was always a plane waiting on the tarmac for whenever they wanted to go somewhere. “I mean, I don’t mind commercial, but.. It just seems like you’d have one, is all.” she added to the end, justifying her words and perhaps messing up in the process, she wasn’t too sure.

"You don't need anything," Louie answered without any real hesitation to it. Louie went everywhere simply with the clothes on her back and a wallet with money and she was basically good to go. If she needed clothing she would buy it. Toothbrush? Buy it. She probably left something in ever country she visited. It wasn't something she did intentionally but it was whatever. She couldn't be worrying about so many materialistic things when she was too busy having fun to honestly give a crap about whether or not she should put her hair up in a pony tail or leave it down and windblown. She didn't need to worry about whether she should wear the pink bikini or the orange one piece. Either way, she was going to go out whether she looked like a hobo or not.
"Yeah, they have a plane," she chuckled,"The Vanderbilts give a plane to each kid when they turn sixteen," she glanced over at her, "Minus me," she shrugged, obviously not bothered too much by this fact. They didn't give her anything for her sixteenth other than a phone call telling her she better be back in school by September and not off humping up the females in Brazil. Louie got gifts from her siblings as she normally did but her parents? They were still pissed at her...Minus not too long ago when they decided maybe marrying her off to the Headmaster's son would somehow magically turn her straight.
Going toward the door, she glanced over her thin and bare shoulder that was visible since the neck of the shirt was a bit stretched out form being worn so often, "I just gotta stop by my dorm real quick to grab Monty, Goya, my wallet, and some pants and we can go," she was biting her lower lip again to contain her excitement. Sure they were flying commercial but it wasn't horrible. Hopefully she wouldn't flip out like Clara did when Louie gave their first class seats Louie spent tons on to a couple of newly weds...Louie always ended up giving her seats to someone if they looked like they needed it more...It wasn't something that happened every single time she went on a flight because it was only when she noticed it and Louie was a pretty oblivious person. So after grabbing Gia's wrist gently, she slightly pulled her to the exit of the dorm building and then down the pathway outside to the other female dorm building full of old money chicks with sticks up their asses. Her room was on the second floor and had absolutely nothing special to it on the outside other than a sign with a female stick figure on it.
The inside of her room was probably beyond messy which would explain why she didn't mind Gia's room at all. But her room was a different kind of messy. It was mainly only stuff. There were clothes everywhere in piles so there were mini walk ways and the wall between the living room and the bedroom was basically a giant fish tank full of different types of tropical fish all merrily swimming along. First thing she did was go straight to her bedroom while speaking, "Hey Monty, baby," sounded like she was talking to a puppy but instead an albino python, small for its species, was slithering off the bookshelf and onto her arm while she reached up for a cage, "Beautiful, this is Monty," she chuckled, "And that," then another python that was a bright yellow slithered out, "Is Goya," she chuckled, "I gotta give them back to a friend of mine so yeah. No worries, they don't bite," she laughed softly , not being bothered by Monty lounging lazily on her shoulder and Goya following her like a lap dog. Hey, they kept anything from coming into her room so it was like her own personal security system.
Letting Monty slip off and into the cage, Goya following him, she closed it and then slipped off her shirt so she was completely topless and then slipping off the breifs so she was basically in her birthday suit, she tossed the articles of clothing wherever and went over to a plastic bag full of clothes with the tags still on them and grabbing whatever and slipping it on. The end result was an over sized striped forest green tank top, pastel blue shorts, messy brown boots, mismatching pink and purple ankle socks, and then she was grabbing her wallet and she was set, cage in one hand carrying it with ease. She looked over at Gia and grabbed her wrist gently again, "Hope you like warm weather," she chuckled while closing the door behind them and then heading out to get a cab to go to the airport. This was definitely going to be a fun weekend...She was beyond excited for it.
