Need You To Need Me | Jenlisa

XV.

Lisa had followed Jennie around her house, still unsure on where the girl was taking her.
But the brunette didn't turn around once, she just kept walking silently through the infinite hallways of the house. Even when no one was around, Lisa observed, her walk radiated confidence.

Lisa kept her eyes on her the whole time, entranced by the brunette's silhouette, knowing that even if she was to take her to the gates of hell, she'd still follow her. Willingly.

Jennie stopped in front of a white door at the second floor. Lisa knew where it took.

"Don't tell me you're bringing me to the rooftop"

Jennie didn't answer, she just turned her head slightly towards Lisa and threw her the most genuine smirk she had ever seen on the girl.

"Jen, it's January. We're gonna freeze our asses off" Lisa kept talking even while they were making their way up the stairs.

"Or better, I'll freeze myself to death, while you and your weird bionic genes will chill outside like there aren't twenty degrees"

Something that Lisa had noticed and had always envied of Jennie, among other things, was her resistance to cold. The brunette just never seemed to get cold whatsoever. That's why Lisa used to jokingly call her her personal heater.

Jennie still hadn't answered but Lisa kept herself from complaining any further since she was already short of breath from the long set of stairs.

Once they made it to the top they had to open yet another door that'd get them into the rooftop.

It was clear that it wasn't used much. The brand new outside furniture that the Kims had bought with the house were still covered with big plastic sheets, preventing them from getting ruined.

But certainly only the weather and not human activity could have done that. In a place where the summers were too hot to breathe and the winters too cold to go outside, those fancy plastic sofas had never had the pleasure of being seated on.

The only thing that had been used a couple times was the Jacuzzi that stood in the corner of the space. Lisa remembered when the year before on Jennie's birthday the four of them had had the crazy idea of going to the rooftop in their bikinis and launching themselves into the hot water.

Lisa was too lost on reminiscing last year's event that she almost missed how Jennie stood beside her, staring, for the second time that day, into nothing.

A small puff of breath periodically left Jennie's slightly parted lips. Her chest was going up and down regularly, leaving nothing to indicate that she was standing outside in January with only her shirt on.

Lisa, on the other hand, was feeling the cold in every ounce of her being. She was sure that if her hair could talk they'd be screaming for bloody murder right now. It wasn't a while before she started shiver. The only noise detectable, her teeth grinding on each other.

"You can hug me if you're cold, you know" Jennie said, always keeping her cool.

"I'm... good" Lisa managed to say between a shiver.

Jennie didn't say anything, she just took a step towards Lisa, placed herself in front of her before wrapping the blonde's arm around her waist.

Because of their height difference, the position worked perfectly. And Lisa hated that.

But at the same time, having Jennie in her arms like that felt too good to be true. Inhaling the older's fragrance she felt protected even though, in that position, it should have been the contrary.
