All Janet could do in response was shake her head and laugh. She knew Lenora wouldn’t have been able to express herself like this in front of just anyone, so Janet took a moment to appreciate how damn cute she was before she lost the opportunity. “Yeah. Gracefully, she says. Gracefully as in how I landed with a loud thud and stopped breathing for like five seconds… because that’s fuckin’ graceful, Lenora,” she continued to tease her making sarcastic comments. “I know, my career is definitely a highlight in my life I need to be focusing on. Honestly, if I didn’t have to go tour around half the world most of the time, I would be living here if I wanted to. Besides, I’m not as big as any other rockstar. The band? Well, my drummer, Sean, recently got an offer to play for a small tour for up and coming rock bands, so he’s doing great. My bassist, Freddie, is doing alright, has a new boyfriend that’s hopefully not gonna last less than two weeks. And Kevin… there’s really nothing new about him or else I’d be informing you right away. He’s like my brother… well, except for the time where we dated for three years, but that’s something we both agreed to never speak of again to each other. Plus, you’ve known him as long as I have, although you’re not as close to him,” Janet said as she rambled about the men who ran her band. They were all like her secondary brothers to her apart from her own little brothers back in Salem. Of course, Janet adored Darrell, Derek, and Jack way more than her own band, since she had been with them the very start of their lives. At some point in time, Janet had thought about how her hanging around the band was affecting Lenora. Would she have been happy for her? Was it a positive reaction or negative? Of course, she would never know. Janet had been using groupies, marijuana, and her own problems to cope with her inner demons of feeling alone. Every time she would hook up with a woman, it always had to be in the form of a tall blonde, no brunettes, no redheads, solely blondes, and Janet knew exactly why she was interested in that type of woman but didn’t want to admit it for herself. Janet gave the other woman a warm smile and waited patiently for her best friend to climb in bed with her. “You know me, unfortunately, my patience level is extremely low. It’s always as if I’m impatient about something every day of my life. What? So you’d leave me as a chaperone? I worry about Zack enough as it is! Having to deal with more kids would worry me in losing them. Wouldn’t the whole follow-the-leader scheme work for them to comply anyways?” she asked curiously. Once the two were comfortable, Janet’s eyes never left Lenora’s sight, taking in every inch of her. Over the years, she had gotten more beautiful, so for Lenora to say that to her made Janet’s heart flutter and her stomach turn. Janet didn’t pay attention to the fact that Lenora was slightly joking around, so she responded with much sincerity, “I don’t need to. You’re… You’re perfect in every way. Just.. beautiful.”
Listening to the details of the lives of Janet’s band, Lenora had to wonder what exactly went on when you were a rockstar. Was it like the movies? Was it all drugs and sex and booze? She didn’t see Janet any different than the girl from her childhood, but she certainly wasn’t the same. Was she? The same, yes, but not quite. Lenora couldn’t put her finger on it. She was curious if Janet felt the same staring back at her. Except the look in the other woman’s eyes never wavered. An unfiltered love and devotion that Lenora searched for her whole life. It was the very look her parents gave to one another. “I’m glad Sean’s got the offer. But I’m not sure if that means he won’t be playing much for you?” she checked, eyebrows knitting together and willing Janet to decide on whether her reaction was a positive or negative one. “Freddie will find himself his soulmate. In time. Might not be this one, or it might be. But he will,” the blonde added with a smile to her face, a hopeful one for the man. Even if he might’ve not been looking for that at the time. She wasn’t too sure if he was as hopeless of a romantic as she was, after all. He could very well be enjoying his fame and groupies, and passing boyfriends. “Yeah I figured about Kevin. Just thought I’d ask,” Lenora continued on with a small chuckle. How could she forget their affair for three years? It was a wild one. And one Lenora tried to push away from her memory, no matter the amount of times it was brought up in conversation. “Are you...dating anyone right now?” The last she had heard, her best friend was currently single. However, these things changed in a matter of hours. You never could predict who you’d run into - and fall in love with. Just the other day, Lenora had swooned over the man who worked at the local florist shop. But just like all her brief daydreams of being in love with someone she merely passed by, the image disappeared as soon as he rang her up and she exited the shop. Giggling now at the idea of Janet playing chaperone, the daycare teacher nodded her head next to the brunette. “Oh you’d be surprised. They’re not that...robotic. They don’t just fall in line when you need them to.” Noticing the look again, but louder somehow, in Janet’s eyes, Lenora shifted slightly in the bed, “Am not.” Despite her shy behavior, flattered was the correct tone in her voice. She moved closer, bumping her nose against the other woman’s arm, before resting a hand flat against Janet’s shoulder. Her face slowly rose to peek back up at her best friend - a careful and hesitant expression flickering across her features. Until a smile flickered too and she leaned up to sneak a small kiss to Janet’s lips, lingering in the proximity for a moment, “Sorry...” Her voice was barely a whisper, a confused one at that. “Um... Don’t know why I did that, sorry.” She shook her head until some blonde strands fell in front of it, hiding her embarrassed smile.
