Chapter 32

Jennie's POV

I thought Lisa was going to pull away from the kiss and regret tempting me to make the first move, but instead she slid her hands up to my neck, going even deeper into the kiss. I didn't feel any hint of lust as her soft, warm lips wrapped around mine, sucking on my lower lip from time to time.

She was kissing me like as if she has never kissed any girl before, and I felt the exact same way. It felt like first time for the both us, even if technically, I have kissed her before in my dreams. It's crazy how it felt and tasted just the same, maybe even better.

There's a huge difference when you know that it's real and that it's actually happening. It's almost as if I was floating on air.

"Jennie..." Lisa murmured into the kiss. "You know what this feels like?"

Before I could ask her what it felt, she kissed me one last time before slowly detaching her lips from mine. "This feels like dejavu"

"Lisa," I smiled. "Do you believe me now?"

"I never completely doubted you, Jennie," she said, keeping her gaze on mine. "It was just too crazy for me to take in when I first heard about it, but then after that I knew you were telling the truth since my visions and your dreams were the same. But right now, I've never been so sure in my life. I know I've kissed you before. This is such a familiar sensation and I can't even explain what I'm feeling right now."

I kissed her lower lip softly and shook my head. "You don't have to explain it, because I know exactly what you're feeling. I've been feeling it for a long time now, and it's about time you felt exactly what I was talking about."

Unfortunately, our little magical moment was interrupted by the pizza boy who rang my buzzer. Lisa quickly took the pizza from him and gave him the payment, telling him to keep the change. The boy, who probably noticed Lisa's reddish lips, gave us an awkward smile before leaving.

"There are free mints in there," he said before quickly heading out of the building.

"Well, that was a nice ending," Lisa grinned sarcastically as she placed the box of pizza on the kitchen counter. "A nice and awkward one."

"Who says that was the ending?" I chuckled as I pulled her by the collar towards the couch.

"Nah, I take it back," she smirked, before plunging himself on the couch and pulling me over her lap. It's like we both instantly forgot that there was pizza.

Our lips found their way back to each other as we kissed like as if we missed each other right away after that interruption. I willingly opened my mouth as her tongue entered, causing me to let out a soft moan.

It's like she was savoring every bit of what she subconsciously missed in the past. Her hands were roaming all over my body from my neck to my back while taking deep breaths in between.

I couldn't even begin to explain how thrilling this whole thing felt like. I've missed touching her and kissing her so much. I've missed the taste of her mouth on mine and the chills she'd give me whenever we would touch. Everything that was happening right now went beyond my wildest dreams . . . literally.

I started to trail kisses down to her neck, slowly sucking on her sweet spot. I could already feel the heat when she suddenly broke the kiss, motioning that we should stop.

"Jennie, wait..." she mumbled, looking quite ashamed of what she was about to say. "I think we should take things slow first."

"Oh shit," I cursed, feeling my cheeks getting warmer by the second. "I'm sorry if I was going too fast. I just got really excited and. . . ."

"No, no, no," she quickly cut me off. "Don't be sorry. I totally understand where you're coming from. It's just that this is all new and crazy to me and I don't want whatever we have to be completely based on lust. That's not how it should be, even if it sounds tempting."

"I know what you're trying to say and I get you," I smiled. "It's totally not a problem at all.

"Don't get me wrong though. You're really turning me on a lot," she cheekily grinned, moving her mouth closer to mine. "Those cute, pink plump lips of yours are driving me insane... as well as your soft skin and captivating catlike eyes. This is one strong temptation that I have to fight for a while."

"Just for awhile, huh?" I winked, teasingly brushing my lips over her.

"Don't torture me, Jennie or you're going to get it," she warned.

"What if I want to get it?" 

"Jennie!"

"Okay, okay, I was just teasing you," I tossed my head back and giggled.

Lisa trailed her finger up my cheek as she leaned back into the kiss. "You're so cute. You're going to make this very hard for me without even trying."

"I mean it though," I said after stopping the kiss for a second. "I understand what you're saying and I really don't mind taking it slow."

"Thank you," she smiled, kissing me again. "You're amazing."

"Are you still interested in the pizza we just ordered? It might get cold," I chuckled.

"This is why people have microwave ovens, baby," she smirked.

"I love it when you talk dirty to me," I laughed, leaning my head against her chest, near her heart, which happened to be beating really loudly.

We ended up having the pizza for breakfast instead the next day because we both fell asleep on the couch after a night of cuddles and movies. I guess none of us felt hungry that night after what happened between us.

"Jennie?" I heard Lisa call while I was showering in the bathroom. I was close to being late for work again but right now I didn't really care. "Do you have an extra toothbrush I can borrow?"

"Yes, I have one," I answered back in a loud tone. "It's the blue one inside the white compartment right beside the sink."

"It's here in the bathroom." I added, wondering what she was going to say next.

"Uh, do I just go in?" she asked. "Are you fully covered behind the shower door?"

"Yes," I replied, stifling a giggle. I never really lock my bathroom door whenever I would shower. I guess I got used to Kai barging in before whenever he pleased.

"Right. Um, so I'm going in now," she awkwardly announced behind the door.

"Okay, Lisa. The toothbrush is clean, by the way. It's just a spare one."

I heard the bathroom door slowly creak open. Seconds later, I heard her footsteps as she walked inside.

"Sorry for coming in while you're showering," she said. I could hear her opening the compartment as she spoke. "I'm just in dire need to brush my teeth because I can't possibly have morning and pizza breath before I makeout with you again."

"You know I wouldn't really care, right?" I smiled to myself with the thought of her being all flushed up.

"I know but still," she insisted. "Thanks for this. I got some toothpaste too. I can use the kitchen sink."

Before I could answer, she left the bathroom and quietly closed the door behind her.

I leaned back against the cold tiles of the bathroom and closed my eyes as I continued to scrub my body. I was absolutely and utterly in-love with the world's biggest gentlewoman, and nothing could turn me on even more.

Lisa drove me to work this morning, just like how typical girlfriends would. Though I'm a hundred percent sure she didn't see me as her girlfriend yet, I had the complete freedom to fantasize.

When I got to my desk at work, Irene was already leaning her arm on my cubicle, giving me a teasing grin. "Was that Lisa who dropped you off?"

"How'd you know?"

"I peeked out the window," she shrugged. "And you have a hickey that's begging for attention right now."

My face turned red as I covered my neck by pulling my hair back to the front. Just the thought of Lisa made me miss her already and we haven't even been apart for more than five minutes.

"Kim! Kang! In my office please!" I heard Sihyeon yell.

"Ugh. What does she want?" Seulgi muttered behind me.

"Sucks to be you guys," Irene whistled, before disappearing back into her office.

Sihyeon had such a loud and commanding voice that made her sound angry even when she wasn't. I was already immune to it.

When we got to her office, she was already sitting on the opposite side of her long, meeting table with her huge laptop covering her face. "I'm sure you guys have heard about the success of Kim Minseo's movie premiere. Good job, guys."

"I had a quick meeting with her over coffee yesterday," she went on. "And she wants us to work with her again on her next film, which she intends to premiere in six months. Unlike last time, we have more time to prepare for this one, which also means early promotion for the film."

"What film is this, if I may ask?" Seulgi questioned.

"It's a sequel to her recent one," Siyeon replied. "I know film companies normally don't release sequels until a year later, but since she works for himself, I guess she calls the shots."

"Why is she in a hurry to release it?" I asked.

"She wants to enter the SK Indie Film Awards," Sihyeon said. "I'm sure we can help her with this right? She paid us well, and I can guarantee that we will earn so much more with this next project since we will be working with her for half a year."

"The SK Indie Film Awards?" I repeated.

"Apparently, Ms. Kim has some serious competition. She briefly mentioned that she had some sort of a row with her partner so now they've gone separate ways, doing their own projects," Sihyeon explained.

Seulgi gave me an eyeroll and i just gave her a subtle nod and sighed. We know how hard it is to work with Minseo.

"Do you have any problems with this project, Jennie?" Sihyeon raised an eyebrow.

"Uh, n-no ma'am," I stuttered. "Everything's fine."

"Totally psyched about it," Seulgi added in a nonchalant tone.

Sihyeon went on and started to blab about things that didn't even concern me. She tends to make meetings really long and useless, which sometimes serves as an advantage because it's a great way to kill time.

I was starting to get bored when I saw a couple of text messages from Lisa on the screen of my phone.

From Lisa

What are you doing?

Oh yeah you're at work haha

Do you want to have some frozen yogurt tonight?

I recently discovered I can write stories and text at the same time, which is why I never use text lingo because I might switch them up.

Okay I'll stop talking now.

I smiled to myself and sent my replies.

To Lisa

Why are you so cute? And yeah, I'm totally up for some yogurt. I'm in a meeting but I'm totally fine with texting coz my boss is being a total bore zzzzzzz

I have something to tell you, btw.

From Lisa

What is it?? Did you realize that I wasn't the girl from your dreams all along??

To Lisa

Lmao what? No!

From Lisa

Oh. Ok. So what is it?

To Lisa

Wait. Maybe I should just tell you later in person?

From Lisa

Oh yeah sure, if you think that would be better.

No, you need to tell me now because I won't be able to focus on anything today if you leave me hanging like that. Pleeeeaaase?

I silently chuckled to myself as I typed in my reply. I glanced at Sihyeon and she was too busy being a complete bore anyway. When I looked over at Seulgi, she was scrolling through her phone too.

To Lisa

i miss you.

The sound of Sihyeon slamming her laptop shut interrupted my thoughts. "Alright, meeting adjourned. I want ideas for the film promotion by tomorrow, five pm sharp. Anything else you want to discuss? Questions?"

"We're good," Seulgi and I said at the same time, both looking up from our phones. It's something we always say whenever Sihyeon ends a meeting so we got so used to saying it together.

"Okay. Now go back to your desks I need to work."

When I unlocked my phone, there's ons message from her.

From Lisa

I miss you bigtime.

To Lisa

I have to go back to work. Fml.

From Lisa

What does Fml mean

To Lisa

Oh. Fuck my life.

From Lisa

Well ok then FML times infinity.

To Lisa

Tell me about it. See you later?

From Lisa

Yes please. I need you. I'll pick you up at 6?

To Lisa

Sounds great :)

From Lisa

See you babe.

Babe, ugh. I've never wanted to get out of work so bad in my life.
