Chapter 7
Jennie's Baby
"Rosie, who's that girl with Lisa?" Jennie who was sitting beside her friend asks, she was pertaining to a girl who had her arms linked with Lisa as they entered the showroom. The two women were on the corner where a king sized platform bed was placed. The other girl was sitting on the bed while rubbing the foam gently with Lisa standing infront of her. Weird, but she felt irritated with the scene she was witnessing.
It has already been two weeks that she's following Lisa in the office. And here, in the showroom is where she spends her time and helping Rosie.
She got used with the routine. She will follow the woman whenever she goes to the office, bring her foods when it's lunch time or some snacks, and ride with her on the way home. They went out so many times already, usually to nightclubs or famous restaurants. She's contented to stay in a corner while watching over her with some acquaintance. She saw how easy going and carefree the woman is, how she gets wild when she's with her friends. But despite the cheers and laughter, there are times that she could see her stilled for a moment. And sadly zoning out.
It was her job to keep her out of trouble so when a woman was trying to go near Lisa who does not belong in their group she will come next to her. She'd put her arms around her as a silent message to the girlfriend wannabe's. Lisa didn't seem to mind, because she'll wrapped her arms around Jennie voluntarily.
Every night, she sends Mrs. Manoban e-mails, updating her about Lisa.
In between them, the tall woman didn't dare to repeat that stunt she did at the library to her again. But sometimes she jokingly reminds her about her offer. And when sees an opportunity, the sneaky woman would steal a kiss on her or grope her.
And to admit it, she's affected because she could feel heat in her body everytime Lisa does that to her. She's an hypocrite if she denies that she doesn't like that feeling.
"Ahyu! That's Park Sooyoung or better known as Joy, one of the girls who were dying for Lisa Sajangnim's attention." Rosé answered. "She really comes here most of the time, but always stays inside Sajangnim's office. I actually have no idea why Sajangnim brought her here."
Jennie decided to just stay silent. Her eyes remained watching the two women from afar. Joy is pretty. She was tall and they suit each other. And whichever angle she looks at her, she cannot find any ugly features from her. She felt a pinched in her heart when Joy stood up and hugged Lisa from her waist. The latter looked happy and seemed to enjoy the intimate physical contact. It made her feel more gloomy. And why are there tears forming in her eyes?
"Excuse me for a minute, Rosie, I'll just go the restroom." she told her friend. She just can't keep the emotion in. She has to let it go elsewhere or she might embarrassed herself infront of the people if she just suddenly starts breaking down.
She didn't threw a glance at the couple when she went out of the showroom. Just walked straight towards the restroom. When she entered one of the cubicles she let herself broke down in tears. She stayed inside for five minutes. She didn't come out until she felt calm.
When Jennie came back to the showroom the two were there and talking to Rosie. With Jisoo joining the group.
"Where have you been?" Lisa utter in a sharp tone. Jennie was tempted to slap the hell out of her. This b¡tch act as if she cared about her! "Joy and I are going out. You wanna come?"
"Why would she come with us, Lisa? Who is she?" Even if the woman's voice was sweet, it was obvious that she didn't like Jennie.
'If you don't like me, I don't like you too!' Jennie said to herself internally. She cocked one of her eyebrows.
"I can't go anywhere without her." Lisa replied.
"What? Are you joking?" Joy giggled. "What is she, your nanny?"
Jisoo almost burst out laughing. Even Rosie was smiling. Beside her and Lisa, the two also knew why she's always with her.
Lisa cleared her throat before answering Joy. "Actually, she's my personal assistant. And also like a bodyguard." she denied.
"With that height?" Joy giggled again and regarded her with a probing look.
"Don't underestimate her, Love. You have no idea what she's capable of doing. She can bite you when you least expect it." She was looking at her eye to eye. Jennie blushed with her slight teasing.
"Oh, well, looks like we really need to bring her with us. Okay, it's fine. At least I know now that she's not your girlfriend. I've been wanting to ask who she is. She's been watching us since earlier."
'What a bitch!' Jennie complained angrily to herself. Oh, how she wanted to pull the woman's tongue out! So brusque and sharp.
Lisa was just smiling confidently which added more fuel to her irritation.
"Wait, it's unfair for Jennie to go with you two and leave her gaping around in a corner. I'll come along too so this beautiful young lady won't look like a wallflower." Jisoo said and suddenly puts her arms around her. There is no malice with it. When Jennie looks at her, she wink at her. She smiled. She got the secret message with her eyes.
"Good idea! Imagine how boring it will be for me if I would just watch the two of you. It's much better if there's four of us, you know, foursome." Jennie commented and rests her head on Jisoo's shoulder. And of course it's not enough for her so she held the redhead's hand which was on her shoulder.
It's like an eraser that wiped out the smile on Lisa's face. The tall woman has a very deep frown on her face.
"So, what are we waiting for? Let's go?" she ask still staring at Jisoo.
"You will ride with me." Lisa commanded her. Joy groan.
"Love, why don't you let her ride with Jisoo? They're going to date anyway."
"You know that she has to go with me. Ride with Jisoo for now. Just follow my car."
Joy couldn't do anything more when Lisa grab Jennie's arm. The latter also couldn't protest as the former was gripping her arm tightly. She didn't even had the chance to get her bag on Rosie's table because Lisa was almost practically dragging her but thankfully her friend handed it to her.
"Why are you in a hurry?"
"Why did you agree to go with Jisoo?"
She stared at her in shock. "What's wrong with that? Your friend volunteered, I did not force her. And also, I don't have any plans on becoming your audience."
Lisa sneered. "I can't believe it! Your strategy is kinda different."
She raised one of her eyebrows.
"If you think that Jisoo Unni is the key to your needs in money, then you're wrong. She's not as rich as me."
Ah, so that's what bothers her. Lisa must've thought that Jennie likes her bestfriend Kim Jisoo that made her agree to go on a date with her in an instant. Until now, she must've been thinking of her as a woman who loves money more than anything else.
But instead of correcting her, she just let the woman think what she wants to think of her.
"So, the reason why you're angry was because I like her more than you? Really, Lisa! You're so funny!" she noticed how the woman gripped on the steering tighter. Thankfully, there was traffic so she can't drive faster, which added to the woman's irritation.
"I need money, yes. But I'm not going to make that as a basis for choosing someone I'm going to be with. Not everyone's world revolves around money. There are many who still believe that the things people like you consider as trivial are the most important."
"Things like?"
"Love..."
"Love? You want me to believe that you love Jisoo?"
"I don't love her. But it's not impossible to love her. She's a good and honest person. And she's not an overbearing, cynic beast like you."
With furrowed eyebrows, Lisa glanced at her. She wonder why the woman did not opposed her. The younger woman just stayed silent and not so long after she saw a smile curved on her lips. The woman was even shaking her head while the smile turns into a low chuckle. Her laugh was contagious which made her laugh too. In a blink of an eye the tension inside the car was lessened.
They arrived at the club that Lisa often goes to. They change partners before they enter the establishment. But that only happened because Joy was like a vine wrapping her arms around Lisa. Jennie couldn't do anything but to go to Jisoo's side, who held her hand assuringly.
She's not innocent with this kind of places because she already went to some clubs before she even met Lisa. She's already acquainted with the loud noise and the crowd.
They chose a corner table. Their order has not even arrived yet but Joy already pulled Lisa to the dance floor which the latter agreed reluctantly.
"Do you wanna dance too?" asks Jisoo.
"Maybe later?"
"Okay." Their drinks got served. The red head gave her a hite prime. Jennie was not much of a drinker. Most of the times she could only take up to two light beer.
"Cheers?" Jisoo aimed for a toast.
"Cheers." she clinked their glass together.
While drinking her beer, she watched Lisa and Joy on the dancefloor. The two were obviously enjoying their dirty dancing, like two snakes twining against each other's body. And unconciously, her grip on her glass tightened.
"Let's dance, Chu." she said.
They walked to the middle of the dance floor and went beside the two.
The live band started to play Black Velvet. Jisoo raised her eyebrows when she wrapped her arm around her neck. She grinded her hips seductively following the slow music. The red head pick it up instantly. She ride in and move with the tempo.
Jennie closed her eyes and softly rolled her head while still slowly gyrating her hips. Then she bent her knees, bending down as far she could go, and rolled her hips. She held the waist of her partner to keep her balance. She stood up while slowly moving her hands on the woman's chest. Walking sassily, she went to the red head's back while her hand was touching Jisoo's shoulder. Her eyes was following at her every move.
When she got back to the woman's front, she back-face her. And her hands holding her head like washing her hair, she let the woman touch her arms, going down to her sides until it reached her hips. With half closed eyes, she threw her head back and rested it on the red head's shoulder. Jisoo's head bent down and almost caressed her neck. She face her again. And while slowly tracing a finger on her cheek, Jennie raised her right leg and hooked it on the woman's thigh. Jisoo held her thigh brought her along while slowly dancing.
The song was about to come to an end. Jisoo let go of her and she did a quick turn before leaning on her again. Jennie rolled her hips once more, as she placed a finger on her bottom lip giving her wanton look. And as a finale, the gothic woman wrapped her arms around her back. Jennie slowly bent her back with Jisoo assisting her.
Was that my nanny?
God, she felt so hot! Jisoo is so lucky!
Lisa gulped continuously while watching the pair. She had already forgotten that she was dancing with Joy. Now standing like a statue on a corner of the dance floor like the others who were dancing too earlier. She can't even blink her eyes while watching the woman's every move while dancing. Jennie was graceful and so damned sexy! If only she wouldn't make herself look like a fool she would snatched the lady away from Jisoo.
How nice would it be if she would dance for her. She'd welcome her lap dancing anytime!
After the music ended everyone clapped their hands. Jennie's beaming face smiled back at the crowd. Her cat like eyes just passed by her. The two went back to their seat. She was about to follow them but Joy gripped her arm. Asking her to accompany her to the restroom. Having no choice but to go with her.
"Wow! You're good!" Jisoo complimented her. Jennie was about to say something but the woman's phone rang. "Oh, excuse me. I'll just answer it." she stood up and went out of the club to hear the caller when she nodded.
Jennie was left alone on their table. While drinking her beer she looked for Lisa and Joy but she couldn't find them. She suddenly felt nervous. Did Lisa just escape from her?
She was about to stand up to search for her when a drunk guy came to her front. He was tall and has a slightly big body.
"Miss, let's dance? Just like how you did a while ago." Jennie shook her head and went pass him. The man quickly blocked her escape route. "Come on, don't play hard to get now. I'm a much better dancer than the one you were with earlier."
"Please, I don't want to dance anymore. I'm tired." she reason out. But instead of leaving her alone he grab her arm and pulled her forcibly dragging her towards the dance floor.
"Stop! Let go of me!" when he didn't stop she slapped him on the face. He got angry.
"What a b¡tch!" he pushed her, she lost her balance and fell on the couch. It was slightly dark because their table is on the corner. And the rock song that was currently playing made it harder for anyone to hear her scream. The people inside seemed oblivious to the commotion.
The stranger was about to pinned her down the couch when someone pulled him back. Lisa punched him so hard on the jaw. He lost balance and fell on the floor. But since he was angry, he instantly got back to his feet and fought back. Jennie screamed when Lisa got hit on the cheek. The two continued throwing punched against each other.
"Lisa! Oh, please! Somebody help!"
She searched for Jisoo but she couldn't find her anywhere, maybe she's still outside. Thankfully, the two club bouncer came and stopped Lisa and the guy from fighting. She instantly wrapped her arms around the woman's body.
"Lisa, that's enough, please!" she pleaded while crying. "Let's get out of here."
Jennie assisted her out of the club. The corner of her lips was bleeding and she has a wound on her left eyebrow.
She saw Jisoo outside and called her. The redhead's eyes went wide when she saw her friend's face.
"Sh¡t! Jennie, what happened?"
"T-There was a guy harassing me. Y-Your friend fought with him."
"Oh, sh¡t!" she rolled her eyes.
"I'll take her home. C-Can you please take care of the mess--"
"Yeah, sure. I'll take care of it. You know how to drive?" she nodded. She walked with them unil they reached Lisa's car. She thanked Jisoo before driving the car out of the place.
Lisa was quiet the whole time while Jennie was driving. She was pressing a handkerchief on her wounded lips. Her heart is full of worries.
'I'm supposed to keep her out of trouble. Not get her into one.' she scolded herself. It's her fault. What the heck came into her mind and danced like that anyway?
