Pulling into the gravel driveway of the large property, Vinyl giggled. Octavia had just told the girl about the time her sister had thought she was trying to steal the twin's boyfriend.
"The worst part is, she knows I've never been into guys!" The cellist laughed. Vinyl's heart fluttered at that and she got a faint blush. Luckily, Tavi seemed not to notice, as she was too busy trying to suppress her own laughter.
The purple eyed beauty suddenly glanced up as the vehicle stopped. She shoved Vinyl playfully and smiled at her before sliding out of the car.
"Just gonna stretch my legs a bit before I head off," the DJ explained, climbing out as well. A hand grabbed hers and pulled her forward in the direction of the house.
"Nonsense. I insist you hang around for a while," Octavia replied quickly. "A-after all, Father will want to meet you."
Is she...blushing? Nah, can't be... Valarie sighed and kicked her door lightly closed as she followed obediently. Just because she's not interested in guys, doesn't mean she's interested in girls either. She could be a potato.
The taller girl pulled her through the door and quickly turned. "Just a forewarning, my father is a bit...large..." she whispered, letting go of the pale hand. Vinyl's shoulders slumped slightly at this. "Father, I'm home!" Octavia called into the house, the sound of a fridge door closing answering seconds later.
A giant of a man entered into the hallway, heading happily towards the slender girl and wrapping her in a bear hug. "Howfur wis mah wee bear's foremaist day at th' freish schuil?"
The short girl stared wide eyed at the display, wondering how Octavia wasn't turning purple at this point. Vinyl tugged awkwardly at the hem of her white suit jacket, the large Scotsman making her feel exceptionally tiny.
The hug seemed to last quite a long time. Albeit, the teenager in question's parents weren't exactly the affectionate type, so for all Vinyl knew, it could have been a very short parental embrace. All in all, the hug only lasted about eleven seconds.
As they broke apart, Octavia whispered inaudibly into the huge man's ear. He cocked a bushy blue eyebrow and frowned slightly, straightening up to his full towering height.
Arthur Philharmonica studied his daughter's face for a moment, amethyst meeting amethyst in a calculating gaze. To most, it would seem threatening, or cold. Octavia, however, knew otherwise. Her mouth twitched a dismissive smile.
The man turned his thoughtful gaze towards the formally dressed teen, noticing her for the first time. As his face formed into a kind grin, the raven haired teen's heart gave a gleeful leap, glad that he approved of her new friend.
A hand reached up to run through his short deep blue hair and his shoulders relaxed.
"Ta fur takin wae me mah bairn back hame," he spoke, eliciting a confused frown from the shorter girl. Octavia stepped forward, turning to glance at her dad. "What he means is, thank you for bringing my baby back home. He often forgets to speak in a manner that most people understand when he is at home."
Vinyl scratched the back of her neck, a sheepish smile gracing her soft features. "Oh, uh, it was nothing really. I'm Vinyl, by the way." She held out a hand in greeting.
Arthur shook it, careful not to overdo his grip. "Arthur Philharmonica."
"Well now I see why Tavi's so freaking tall..." she muttered under her breath, eliciting a hearty chuckle from the man. Valarie balked slightly at the sound, the volume sending a shudder through the floor.
Glad to see they're getting along well, she thought, smiling faintly. Arthur then proceeded to usher the two teenagers towards the kitchen, having to step halfway through the living room door in order to give them the room to move.
"I'm going to make a phone call," he said as he dropped his dialect for the sake of company. His voice was still heavily accented however. "Why don't you girls grab a snack and head upstairs?"
Octavia led the teenager into their kitchen, heading straight for the fridge. She opened it and pulled out one of her father's beers, holding it out for Vinyl.
"Sorry Tavi, but I plan on driving later," the blue haired girl stated, gently denying the beverage. She had passed the test. But she still had a long way before Octavia would fully trust her. Remember, she's still a spikey-blue haired rebel...
After they selected a beverage and snack, the raven haired musician procceeded to drag the shorter girl upstairs to the rec room. It was quite spacious, with various games such as foosball and pool. There was even a poker table in the corner.
Almost in unison, the teenagers flopped onto the oversized sofa adorning the far wall, intsantly sinking into its plush cushions. Octavia let out a small sigh, glad to just be home after her long and nerve wracking day. She looked over at Vinyl as the girl slid down the plush couch, giggling slightly at the look of bliss on her face.
She found herself studying the girl's features. Her pale skin, the way her head moved ever so slightly in synchronization with her breathing.And then her purple gaze drifted downwards. Her slender frame, the form-fitting suit, her b cup br-
She mentally smacked herself, eyes quickly shifting to watch the door frame. Calm down, Octy. Geez. The voice of her sister rang through her head.
