In Too Deep

[TheFrosts]

The scene opens up in the Showtime Mansion in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania the morning after the blow up between Bobbi Jackson and her Angels, Carmen and Giselle.  While that event in no way went how the blonde had planned it to, any efforts the duo had to remove Bobbi from Eliza's clutches had the opposite effect as it allowed them and Michael to bond even more that night after their departure.  Now in the morning we are here in the master bedroom as Bobbi Jackson lays between Eliza and Michael sleeping peacefully, clearly in a much better place mentally then she was the night before.  The sunshine coming in through the blinds of the bedroom over the trio as the blonde sleeps away. Eliza is the first to wake as she covers her mouth to muffle her yawn, then blinks a couple times, like she has to make sure she didn't just dream up the previous night, before a smile spreads to her lips. She looks at the sleeping couple and leans over Bobbi to gently kiss Showtime's lips... then decides to kiss Bobbi as well. They both wake up relatively quickly from Eliza's kisses as they both sit up a bit in the bed.

Showtime: Good morning everyone. 

Bobbi: Mmmmm hey...

Bobbi says tiredly as she wraps her arms around Michael and Eliza gently. Eliza gently purrs as she squeezes Bobbi and Michael against her too.

Eliza: Hope you had as sweet dreams as I did.

Showtime: Slept pretty good.

Michael says with a nod as Bobbi smiles.

Bobbi: Best nights sleep in a long time, which honestly is surprising due to how much of a roller coaster yesterday was for me...

Bobbi keeps the smile on her face, doing her best to think positively and not about the negative feelings that are trying to drag her down. Eliza gently caresses Bobbi's cheek, her own smile briefly faltering as well briefly before she gently kisses the blond beauty again.

Eliza: It was quite the ride, but I'd say it ended well, wouldn't you?

Bobbi nods as she returns the kiss.

Bobbi: Well yea, it ended REALLY well.  But it was a really rough way to get there...

The blonde says as she rests her head on Eliza's shoulder. Eliza wraps both arms around Bobbi, squeezing her close tightly.

Eliza: What matters is where we are, not where we've been.

Showtime: That is true.

Showtime says chiming in as Bobbi wraps both of her arms around Eliza now, speaking softly into her ear.

Bobbi: Thank you for being my girlfriend...I couldn't have gotten through last night without you.

Eliza can't help letting a purr bubble it's way up from her chest as she squeezes Bobbi against her even tighter.

Eliza: Then I was exactly where I belonged.

Michael smiles at the two beautiful women as he sits up more so and gently rubs both of their backs.

Showtime: It's so great to see you two like this, a few months ago you all hated each other.  This is such a nice welcome change that I think benefits everyone.

They both nod in agreement as Eliza caresses Bobbi's cheek tenderly, gazing into her eyes, then smiles at Showtime.

Eliza: Absolutely it does.

Michael leans in to kiss Bobbi then Eliza as the blonde purrs happily, feeling very content right now.  Almost as if everything outside of this bedroom doesn't exist right now. All of her problems are on the other side of that door, and as long as she doesn't have to leave this bed with Michael and Eliza...she can always be happy. Eliza finds herself silently staring at the smiling blond, smiling herself as well. She feels so... content to see Bobbi's happiness.

Bobbi: Hey...you okay?

Bobbi says with a giggle as she gently pokes Eliza on her shoulder. 

Bobbi: I don't think you've ever stared at me like that before.

Eliza lets out a little yelp.

Eliza: Sorry, just kinda got lost in thought there. You mind if I take a quick shower?

Bobbi can't help but giggle again.

Bobbi: Of course not hun, you know where it is. We will be stay here and wait for you to return okay? 

Bobbi leans in and kisses Eliza again. The younger Frost sister returns the kiss, then gives a thumb up as she hops off the bed.

Eliza: I won't be long.

A while later the shapely beauty steps out of the shower, a towel wrapped around her, then steps over to the bathroom sink, wiping the fogged over mirror to look at herself.

Eliza: When Jasmine said it I had no clue what she was on about, but...

She leans in a bit closer, placing her hands on the edges of the sink as she keeps mumbling under her breath.

Eliza: ...yeah, seeing Bobbi smile... it warmed my heart... like I never expected it to. And when she was hurt, it... it hurt ME seeing that.

She pushes a loose lock of dark brown hair behind her right ear.

Eliza: Have I... fallen in love with her? With BOBBI?

She takes a deep breath and closes her eyes, trying to sort things out in her mind. She never intended for there to be anything REAL between her and Bobbi, not from her towards Bobbi anyway, but... even as she laid in bed with the crush of her lifetime and Bobbi... she couldn't tell who she wanted more.

A couple weeks later...

Eliza lets out a sigh as she stirs her drink with a straw, Dominique looking at her from across the table, eyebrow raised.

Domi: The appetizers will be here any minute now.

Eliza: It's not that...

She sighs again as she leans back in her seat, then looks over at her sister and Jasmine, the two of them having invited the long-time rival of Bobbi's out to dinner. It's really a rather fancy place too and all three are dressed in their best.

Jasmine: Is everything alright? You've been acting weird ever since I arrived.

Jasmine sips on her ice tea through her straw as she stares down Eliza with curious eyes.

Eliza: I'm fine, it's just...

She sighs once more as she grabs her drink and takes a big sip from it.

Eliza: Back when you were giving me advice on how I could make Michael my own you said something and I didn't really get what you meant, how it would even be possible...

Dominique raises an eyebrow, trying to think back to that time, while Jasmine places her drink back down on the table and lets out a soft sigh.

Jasmine: See...I knew this would happen, I tried to warn you...but you didn't listen.

The blonde speaks with mixed emotion in her tone so its hard for either Frost sister to correctly gauge how she's taking it. Eliza hangs her head a bit.

Eliza: I feel like I let you down... I made a promise about what I was gonna do, but...

Dominique looks a bit awkward as it dawns upon her what they're talking about. Eliza talked to her about this earlier, of course, but she didn't link it back to Jasmine until now.

Jasmine: You didn't let me down...you just failed to take my advice seriously and now you're much deeper down the rabbit hole than you ever possibly imagined...

Jasmine shrugs slightly as if to say "what can you do" before continuing.

Jasmine: So Alice...now that you found your way into Wonderland what do you intend to do about it?

The blonde chuckles a bit, at this point clearly amused with Eliza's situation. Eliza huffs a bit at Jasmine for the teasing to, but simultaneous she feels a weight lifting off her shoulders at Jasmine not seemingly being upset with her like Eliza was afraid she would be.

Eliza: So would that make Michael the White Rabbit? Well, if this is as bad as dealing with the Queen of Hearts is going to get, I really don't think I have room to complain. It's not how I had planned for things to go, but...

Dominique reaches over and gently rubs Eliza's shoulder.

Domi: But sometimes life takes you in an unexpected direction.

Jasmine: So you're just gonna roll with the punches then hmm? Moving onto plan B so to speak? 

The blonde asks curiously. Eliza shrugs her shoulders a bit.

Eliza: I'm not sure I'd exactly call it a plan, per se. Things just... feel like they're going right. That's not wrong, is it?

Jasmine answers with another honest shrug.

Jasmine: Don't ask me...everyone's situation in life is different.   What will work for one person won't work for another....

The blonde slightly sighs.

Jasmine: I won't lie however, I was quite looking forward to you breaking her heart.   But I guess that's out of the question  now...

Jasmine says as she stirs her straw in her drink. Eliza pouts a bit as she certainly wasn't planning to let her big sister's friend down.

Eliza: I couldn't do something like that. Seeing her sad would break MY heart.

Jasmine dismissively waves it off. 

Jasmine: It's fine. I'm used to Bobbi always getting her way at the end of the day anyways...

She rolls her eyes a bit rather still annoyed after all these years over how lucky Bobbi is as if she has a lucky horseshoe permanently lodged up her ass. Dominique pats Jasmine's back.

Domi: You'll get 'er next time, slugger.

She winks at her friend, then smiles.

Domi: Wouldn't you say a friend's happiness is more important than an old foe's misery, though?

Jasmine: Oh I suppose...

Jasmine sticks her tongue out at Dominique.

Jasmine: To be fair, I was in no way trying to interfere with Bobbi's life until Eliza asked this of me to begin with.

Domi: Yeeaah, that one MIGHT be on me, heh. But I did it for the best of reasons. As well as petty resentment over stuff that happened ages ago.

The tall blond sticks her tongue out too, then giggles.

Jasmine: So you're saying you taught your sister to hate Bobbi before they even met? And I thought I was evil!

Jasmine laughs. Dominique places a hand on her chest, putting on a taken aback look.

Domi: Why, I'd NEVER. My sister if self-educated on that.

Eliza bursts out laughing a bit.

Eliza: I mean, she WAS between me and my crush, so...

Jasmine: You both are terrible...no wonder we get along so well.

Jasmine snickers and Eliza smiles as she reaches over and places a hand on Jasmine's.

Eliza: And no matter what has happened or will happen with my life, I'd really like it if we could get along regardless. You're my sister's friend and I'd be very happy to call you mine too.

Jasmine: Fine by me...just don't tell Bobbi.  She won't take kindly to know her girlfriend is friends with Michaels ex. Heh...

Eliza: Yeeaaah, probably best not to bring it up, just easier for everyone really. But if it ever does come up...

She shrugs her shoulders.

Eliza: ...she'll just have to deal with it.

Jasmine: Hah...good luck with that...

Jasmine smirks. 

Jasmine: You'd really have to have her wrapped around your little finger to get away with something like that.

Eliza can't help smirking a bit as she winks at the blond beauty.

Eliza: And what makes you think she isn't already, hmmm?

Jasmine raises an eyebrow.

Jasmine: Cocky words from the brunette who said she wouldn't fall in love.

Eliza blushes a bit and lets out a huff as she crosses her arms across her chest while her sister laughs.

Domi: I think they might be a bit wrapped around one another.

Jasmine: See that I'm more likely to believe at this point. 

Jasmine laughs. Eliza glares at the blond duo, but then giggles herself too.

Eliza: Fine, that's fair enough, but nobody's gonna tell me who I may or may not be friends with.

Dominique nods in agreement just as the waiter arrives with their appetizers.

Domi: Ah, here we go. Here's to friends, wherever our lives may lead us.

Eliza: Hear hear!

The Frosts raise their glasses and Jasmine joins them as they clink them together and the scene fades out as they dig into the first course of their dinner.
