Chapter 4

Lydia covered her mouth, the shock of the note paralyzing her body as a whole. "That can't be true! She would never give someone like me her number…" Lydia mumbled to herself. She read the note again, seeing if it was true. The same number as before. Lydia took her phone and opened her phone app. She typed in the number, putting in a cover name. NaNa. Perfect. No one would know! Lydia could feel her hands and fingers shake as she looked at the empty messages.

Should she text her? No, she's busy right now! Lydia forgot her obsessiveness got her there early and it was already 20 minutes after she left, and that the meet and greet was getting ready to start. So Lydia just pressed saved. Lydia was smiling ear to ear. The prettiest idol she has ever seen wants her! Her! She was just some random college student that happened to run into her. Her mind was running laps in her head. After Lydia processed everything, she realized something. There's nothing really left to do. She doesn't have much going on right now. No classes, no friends that are available right now, nothing. Everything that needs to be done, is done. But one thing. Her apartment. Lydia arose from her bed. She looked upon the dirty room as a wave of dirty clothes and clean alike stood unfolded and unwashed. Her dressers, collect dirt as they hold cups and bowls. Lydia groaned as she knew what she has to do.

After an extensive cleaning session, Lydia slumped over on her couch the whole apartment was officially cleaned. She checked her phone as she moaned from cleaning. It was around 4p and she had a lot more time to spend on doing something. Lydia lifted her head to the feeling, thinking of what to do now. She suddenly remembered that Yuna's meet and greet was over. Maybe she'd respond to her by now.

"Hi!!"

…..

Lydia could feel her hands shiver and shake again.

"Hey!"

"HOLY SHIT!" Lydia screamed. Her back jumped from her seat, curling her body inwards towards her phone.

"Woah, I didn't expect you to respond!"

"Really?"

"Mhm!"

"Thank you again, I can't thank you enough you really saved my ass back there!"

"No problem! Who wouldn't help you?"

"Well, let's just say I've had experiences."

Lydia felt for Yuna, she couldn't comprehend that someone or some people rat her out to people as annoying as the press.

Yuna lay flat on her bed, phone in hand. Her fingers pushed softly on the screen as her legs kicked back and forth like a little girl. Yuna was smiling cheek to cheek. She was happy that Lydia had reached out to her and got her note. Lydia responded back to her counting their conversation. Yuna giggled like a schoolgirl.

"Your name was Lydia, right?"

"Yeah!"

"Okay, I'll put that into my contacts!"

Lydia...Lydia. Her name was a drug. Her pretty ginger hair. She still remembers it. It was crazy that someone like Yuna was drooling over someone like her. A commoner as most of her fake celeb friends would say. Yuna heard the doorbell of her hotel ringed. She dropped her phone on the bed and made her way to the door. Through the peephole, she saw a light strawberry-like blond boy through it. Yuna opened the door, seeing Kenji holding a bottle of rosè and other snacks that were held in a bag. "Hey, YuYu!!!" Kenji exclaimed softly. Kenji stepped into the room and placed the items on the marble island. "So, how was it?" Kenji asked. "Oh.it was actually better than expected…" Yuna drifted. Kenji expressed confusion. "What's going on in that head of yours?" Kenji said, waving his hand over Yuna's face. Yuna's eyes opened as she felt the air from Kenji's hand. "Nothing..well." Yuna hesitated.

Kenji raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean Yuna?" Kenji sat down on the island, unwrapping the seal that covered the rosè bottle. Yuna sighed as her face flushed. "Okay, before the meet and greet started, I got chased down by paparazzi. I was saved by this girl. Something...something was different about her." Kenji was grinning on the inside. "Keep going?" Kenji pushed. "She was amazing. I was pressed against her body. I felt so safe and warm. I ended up talking to her for a while as I signed a few things for her. For once in a long time, I felt like I was treated like a human being. Not just a celebrity, just me.." Kenji couldn't hold his grin. "Oh?! Has YuYu found someone!!!" Kenji exclaimed. Yuna chuckled softly as the blush covered her face like a mask. "Did you get her number?" Kenji asked as he poured them both a glass of wine. "Yeah, I gave it to her. I was just talking to her before you arrived actually." Kenji's mouth was gaping but soon turned into a smile. "Who is this girl that's got you so giggly?" Kenji quivered as he took a sip of the wine. "Her name is Lydia!" Yuna softly exclaimed as she picked up the glass. "Hm...Lydia. I love that name, so Victorian era!" Yuna was confused by Kenji's statement but brushed it off as she knew he says weird stuff about people. She can never tell if it's a compliment. "Mhm! This really hits the spot. It's been a long day." Yuna sighed. "You know what, we should stop by the art museum. I've wanted to go see it but I never had the time." Kenji wished.

"That sounds like a good idea, to be honest." Yuna agreed. Yuna thought for a moment. Looking back, Lydia did mention that she was an art major, and it was the last year for her in college. She might be able to run into her there. But, Yuna's confidence is run threw the ground with her and her feelings for the pretty girl. "Well, have you thought about staying here in this city?" Kenji sat down his glass, barely full of any more wine. "Well, yeah but I like exploring the world. And staying in one place is boring." Yuna teased. "Girl, you have enough money to explore wherever and whenever you want sweetums." Kenji scoffed. Yuna rolled her eyes as she put down her glass. Kenji's eyes shot open, almost as if he realized something. "What?"

"You should go house hunting!" Kenji squealed. "Meh. Boring…" Yuna moaned. Kenji furrowed his eyes at her, scoffing as well. "What if you and that girl go together? Then It won't be boring, hm? Does that suit you better?" It did sound like a good idea for Yuna. A way to explore the city and to get to know Lydia. Yuna pondered on the idea, thinking of all of the things they could do. Daydreaming of the perfect date with her. Yuna was going delusional over Lydia.

Lydia shoved herself under her blankets, wanting to take a nap. Lydia tried to close her eyes, but couldn't seem to do it. Something or someone was keeping her awake. Someone was in her mind, their warmth aura around her. Their hands were creeping around her neck. Their chest pressed against hers. They whimper from being afraid of someone or a group of people. Lydia twisted and turned around in her bed. Her eyes squeezed tightly, her eyelids wrinkling up. Her blue eyes pierced through hers. "Yuna…" Lydia whispered to herself. Lydia's own words woke her up as she raised her body up. Lydia took a pillow and squeezed it between her legs and arms. Lydia's face warmed up like an oven, her face flushed with a scarlet red. She still remembered Yuna's chest pushing into hers. Her hands roamed around her body. She felt so sensual and warm. She missed her touch, her warmth, and her smile. Lydia loved the conversation they had before. It felt so natural and lovely. Lydia couldn't deny her feelings for her. She had already had a sort of a crush on her idol. But she just thought it was a regular celebrity crush. But after their interaction, she was drooling for her love and attention more than ever.

Lydia took the note that Yuna gave her and looked at it for a while. She didn't notice the heart on the sheet of paper, shaded in with a pink pen. She smiled, knowing that Yuna still wanted to know her. She felt so loved, even if Yuna didn't love her like that or even liked her. Maybe she did it for pity. But who cares, she still had some feelings about her. Lydia opened the drawer and stuck it inside of there. Lydia flopped back down on the bed as she stared at the ceiling. Lydia couldn't stop smiling. She hasn't felt like this since middle school. She giggled thinking about how nice it would be to be loved by someone like Yuna. Her attention and affection. It sounds nice to have.
