Awkward As Ever

Continued From Here!

Clyde huffed as Lilly shoved past him and got in the cab, which he got into as well and shut the door, wrinkling his nose at the smell of liquor and cigarettes, both were familiar to him but it had been a long time since he had tried the latter. He shifted in the cab as they sat together and went off to the Imperial hotel, such an expensive place but he knew she was a spoiled rich girl and had all the money she needed.

"Geez... Let's stay on holiday if yer gonna pick that place." Clyde muttered dryly before the two arrived at the expensive looking hotel before they even knew it. All with Clyde wondering why he was still with Lilly, but he pushed it aside, he was tired and ready to wind down.

Once the cab stopped in front of the fancy hotel, Lilly handed the driver the fare, and got out of the smelly cab, not waiting for Clyde to follow. She couldn't wait to get out of Clyde's jacket and into a comfy bed. And then she remembered... she didn't have any pajamas. Oh well.

Once inside the beautifully lit lobby, the cheerleader sauntered up to the desk, where the well dressed receptionist eyed her jacket. "(No judge, just give good room,)" Lilly growled in the best japanese she could, handing over her card.

Looking back to see if Clyde was following, she huffed out a sigh. "(Two bed, please.)"

This hotel was.... Expensive looking. Clyde was paid good and a had enough money to live pretty nicely but even he didn't like wasting his money on big ass, expensive hotels when he had to say in Tokyo. It wasn't a bad place at all, it was nice and clean but it wasn't really him.

Clyde was letting Lilly take care of everything while he was eyeing the little dining room where most people had breakfast, making Clyde wonder what he should have in the morning before he decided to pop up behind Lilly.

"Havin trouble? Most of these gals speak english, ya know." Said the cowboy with a wry grin.

As the receptionist was taking her information and processing her card, Clyde slipped up behind her, and had to be snide. As tired as she was, she was in no mood for even light jeers. So the cheerleader rubbed her temple, nursing a exhaustion induced headache. She really hoped that there was asprin somewhere in the hotel room. She was going to need it if she wanted to get any sleep.

"I need to practice," she said bluntly. When the receptionist handed her her card and the key card, she made her way to the elevator, pressing the button at least 5 times, impatient for it to arrive. Finally, the doors slid open, and she entered, waiting for Clyde to follow.

"I'll say." Clyde muttered, knowing how dry Lilly responded to him, honestly wasn't as fun to mess with her anymore and he got into the elevator with her without much trouble at all, save for withholding a laugh as she mashed that button a couple times.

"Well... It's been... Fun, Lilly but I'd like ta' have my card so I can crash for the night." Said Clyde as he held out his hand, expecting the key card.

Lilly leaned against the elevator wall as Clyde entered the elevator with her, pressing the ninth floor button right away, the doors closing and the elevator starting it's slow path upward. Lilly took the moment to stretch her achy, tired arms while letting out another yawn. Every second she wasn't laying in bed was torture.

The cheerleader glanced at Clyde when he asked for the key card, the bags under her eyes betraying her exhaustion. "Rooms here are not cheap. I got one room with two beds," she said, whipping out the green, glossy card. She didn't really want to share a room with him, annoying as he was being, but even she wasn't above saving a bit of money here and there.

After what felt like forever, the elevator came to a stop and the doors slid open. Pushing herself away from the wall, Lilly stepped out and wandered a few doors down to their room.

Clyde's eyes widened at Lilly's response, showing his surprise and clear worry as to what had just happened and what on earth was going to even occur!?

"We're roomin'!?!" He asked as if to make sure didn't hear it wrong but he knew what he heard and it was a shocker. He had it in his head to say something snarky but he just couldn't right now.

"...Fine." He said like it would be the end of it. "'Priciate it but I coulda got one room ta' split the costs..." He muttered softly.

"Whatever." He finally added like he didn't care.

Lilly wasn't too fond of sharing a room with Clyde either. Having sex with him was one thing, but sleeping near him was another. But now that she saw how flustered it made him, it made it worth it to get one room.

"Oh, get over it," Lilly said as she unlocked the door to step inside. The room was enormous. There was a large, 45 inch TV on one wall across from the two king sized beds, which were both fitted with red sheets. There was also a fancy bathroom, stocked with full sized bottles toiletries, as well as a medicine cabinet. Which Lilly hoped was stocked.

"Besides, I don't care how much money you make as a 'main eventer.' One room here would cost you a paycheck or two" Lilly added. She peeled off Clyde's jacket and tossed it onto the floor, leaving her in just her bra and skirt before heading straight to the bathroom to check the medicine cabinet. "Oh, thank god." Lilly grabbed the bottle of aspirin, popping it open and quickly downing two pills.

Clyde just huffed in annoyance from behind Lilly as she unlocked the door and allowed the both of them inside the very nice looking hotel room with the nice TV and large beds, along with everything else a person could need or want... Probably even room service too!

"Wow." Clyde said as he stepped inside and scoped out the fancy pad, knowing he could really get used to sleeping in a place like this, paying little to no mind to Lilly before she removed his denim jacket and stood solely in her black bra and skirt, a sight that had Clyde a little red in the face as he ogled the cheerleader he was going to be sharing a room with.

He immediately told himself this was bad and he should stop. Right. Now.

Still, part of him wanted to just talk with her. To convince her to give up on Mercy and just move on with her life and do something better... He knew, sadly, that he would have to forget about her as well and just move on. Such a thing felt impossible.

"Well... I'll admit it, Lilly. Ya got nice taste in hotels." He said as he kicked off his boots and plopped himself on the bed closest to the bathroom, sprawling himself out on the comfy bed that felt like a cloud.

After downing the two pills without so much as water to wash them down, Lilly took a deep breath, brushing some hair from her face. She looked out of the door to see Clyde eyeing the expensive room like he'd never seen anything so elegant before. She imaged he probably hasn't. No surprise.

An his staring didn't go unnoticed either. Not that it mattered. He'd seen her naked already.

Lilly stepped out of the bathroom walking to the foot of the bed Clyde was sitting on and sitting down as well. It felt great to sit on something that was actually comfortable. The train ride sucked, the cab ride sucked. Everything about the last half of the day sucked.

"When you are raised like I was, you tend to have nice taste," the cheerleader said, using a hand to rub at her temples. The aspirin couldn't kick in fast enough.

Lilly's thought went to the worst part of the day. Mercy. No matter what she did now, Mercy was out of her reach., and she'd never get a real revenge. And she really didn't want to accept that. But now, she really didn't have a choice.

"Can I ask you something?" Lilly asked, not looking at him and staring down at the floor.
