A/N: I swear I didn't know about the Scotty/Christina thing when I started this fic (typing it up took longer than I assumed) I wasn't even in the news yet (oooo, am I telepathic??)
But I assume that with her there it was a bit obvious. Anyway, I just decided writing this fic coz I liked the idea of Chris hitting on Scotty and what Lilly would think of that, especially after Discretion.
Don't know how long it will be since I'm still working on the second chapter, but it will all depend on my muse sigh But do enjoy!
Also, as always, English isn't my native language. Sorry the errors, eh

And review of course! Please! -baby face-
--------------------------
When she heard the soft click of the lock Lilly knew her sister was home and for some odd reason her heart started pounding faster and she felt an unusual sense of nervousness fill her within. She wanted to ambush her sister and ask her about that scene earlier today, yet she just wanted to stay quiet about it, after all it was none of her business.
Wasn't it?
She kept telling herself it was no big deal, nothing she should be worried about. And even if -a big if there- they were dating -what she was sure was just a misunderstood of her- she had nothing to do with it. She should be happy for her sister, for her finding someone so sweet and understanding as Scotty...
Wait a minute... Did she just say sweet?
Gosh, Lilly, play it cool. Maybe there is nothing there. Maybe you're just reading too much into it.
But what the hell? Why did Lilly even care?
"You're gonna break it."
Lilly looked up with a start at her sister's voice and then down at her hands that were harshly squeezing a porcelain cat. She dropped it on the table and got up. "So... where were you? It's kinda late. "Yes, she had hidden the real meaning of her question behind some sense of concern and she still had the late hour on her side too.
"Nowhere important." She shrugged, grabbing a banana from the fruit bowl on the table Lilly was just occupying.
"Hum... Really...?" Lilly couldn't help but let a hint of suspicious slide out with the words.
Catching that Chris stopped biting on her banana and stared at Lilly. "Yeah... Why?"
"Nothing." She answered what Chris thought was too quickly and made her interest pick up, wondering why Lilly was doubting her. "It's just late and you never got home late. I was just wondering."
"Wondering? It seems more like you're doubting me." She couldn't deny the fact that Lilly was trying to cool it off and she was feeling annoyed that Lil doubted her, because she had no reason to. "Why would you even doubt me?" She crossed her arms and stood in that protective pose she always used when dealing with her sister.
Lilly seemed to pick up on her attitude and even though she didn't was to fight with her sister, there was, still, that tiny bit of her that wanted to keep that sisterly fight on. And the fact that she had seen one thing and her sister was telling her another -if anything for the matter- didn't help at all. "Oh, I don't know. Why did I ever doubt you before?"
Chris threw the rest of the banana in the garbage with more harshness than it was needed. "God, Lilly! What's the point of trying if you don't do the same?"
"Maybe," She started, but noticing her voice was louder than she intended, she stopped to lower it down and voiced the thoughts in her head just seconds ago. "Maybe because I saw one thing and you're telling me something entirely different."
"What in the hell are you talking about? I'm not lying!"
"I saw you leave with Scotty today."
Christina literally froze in place, a face of complete disbelief on a she tried so lamely to stop a bubbling laugh at the absurdity of the situation. "That's it?? That's what this is all about?"
Lilly made a face, frowning in confusion. "What do you mean..." But she was interrupted by hr sister's fit of giggle.
"If I knew you were interested on him I wouldn't have made a move on him. But of course-"
"What?? I'm not..."
"-You never show your true feelings so it's a bit -not, make it a lot- difficult to know what you want."
"I'm not interested on him!" Her voice reached a higher level, to show over Chris' voice, what worked for she stopped talking and looked blankly at Lil.
"Then why are we having this conversation?"
The question caught Lilly off guard, but only for a few seconds as her quick mind thought of something to say. She wasn't interested in Scotty, of course not, that was obvious but she couldn't deny that the thought of Scotty and Chris wasn't appealing. The only thing Lil could do was to throw the ball back to Chris. "Because Scotty is a nice person and I don't want to see him hurt, what, with you in the picture, will most likely happen.
"You know what, Lilly? Screw you. I don't know why you care so much about this [crap] now!" She threw her arms up and gave her back to Lilly, leaving her alone in the kitchen.
Lil immediately followed her. "Oh, so that's what this is to you? [Crap]?"
"For the love of God, Lilly" Just leave me alone" You never cared before so it would be nice of you keep on not caring."
"That's just because none of your men was my friend! I don't want to look at Scotty every day embarrassed, wanting to apologize for what my sister did to him, for messing with him."
"So I guess it's all about your feelings."
"No! It's about other people's feelings besides yours!"
"Let me deal with it, then." Chris made all the effort she could to lower her voice down. "Let me leave my life for a change." She stopped in front of the bathroom door and looked at Lilly in the eye. "I met this nice, cute, smart, funny, handsome guy, that happened to be your co-worker. If you can't appreciate what's right beside you, you have no right to be angry because I can."
With that, Christina entered the bathroom and closed the door before Lilly could say anything back. Even if she wanted to say anything she wouldn't be able to for she was so dumbfounded by Chris' verbal lashing that Lilly found herself in a very rare lack of words and smarty comebacks.
Because, truly, she didn't know what to say, not for that. What kind of revelation was that anyway? Why was Christina so keen to say all that stuff about Scotty? It wasn't like she was in love with him or anything, right? It was Christina after all.
Shaking her head she turned to go just when the bathroom door opened and Chris' head popped out. "And just for the record," Lilly turned again and faced her sister. "Yes, we left together, but he was only being nice enough to take me to the bus stop." And with that she went inside again.
Again off guard, Lilly decided that not thinking about an answer or about it at all would be better than to hurt her head thinking of everything.
But she was so wrong. She couldn't sleep at all at night for all she could think about was it.
------------------------------
The next morning Lilly could barely keep her eyes open and the smallest ray of light made her eyes hurt and close them even more. All the thinking she had tried not to have the previous night did her no good and only filled her head with a bunch of questions and doubts and a whole lot of other things she would rather not think of. Plus her sister being there was already very stressing.
Dropping her things on her desk, Lilly sighed rather loudly, cursing whatever God up there for the lack of sleep, which, by the way, caused her to arrived at work too early for her liking.
"What are you doing here this early?"
She flinched at first, then something in the very bottom of her belly shook and apparently it meant her whole body should do it too. Now she couldn't say if it was from nervousness, uneasy or excitement. "Hey Scotty." She gave him a quick look as she greeted him, then brought her eyes back to the belongings on her desk. "I just didn't get enough sleep. And since being home wasn't helping anyway..."
"Have you had your coffee yet? That'd help I bet. Keeping you awake now, I mean." And he gave her that smile that usually wouldn't make her knees shake, but it did this time. What the hell?
"Ah, I have my coffee, yes." She lifted the mug so he could see it. "And what are you doing here so early?"
As he took his overcoat off, he talked to her. "I have some paperwork to finish. Thought I could use the time before everyone arrived." And he showed his smile again. Damn.
"Oh." Was her only answer as she sat and kept herself as quiet as one could be.
As if noticing her reserved attitude, Scotty sat down on her desk and concentrated on all the report he still had to finish.

End of chapter 1
I'm not sure when I'll post the next chapter because I'm still working on it, but it won't take long, hopefully.
