HOPELESS ROMANTIC

CHAPTER 22

LISA'S POV

"LET'S EAT." I SAID WHILE WIPING OUR TEARS.

"OK, LET'S GO." SHE SAID WHILE CHUCKLING.

WHILE EATING I THOUGHT OF A QUESTION TO ASK HER.

"MAY I ASK YOU A QUESTION?" I ASKED.

"YEAH SURE." JENNIE SAID.

"IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T LIKE IT... BUT WHY DID YOU ANSWER ME WITH A 'YES',YET IT'S TOO EARLY." I ASKED.

"I CAN'T SAY 'NO'. I WANT TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH YOU... BUT IT REQUIRES TIME CAUSE LIKE YOU SAID IT IS TOO EARLY." JENNIE REPLIED.

"AFTER FIVE YEARS." I SAID DIRECTLY INTO HER EYES.

"FIVE YEARS." SHE REPLIED WHILE ALSO LOOKING DIRECTLY INTO MY EYES LOVINGLY.

"DO YOU HAVE A MAP." I ASKED.

"WHY?" SHE ASKED CURIOUSLY.

"BECAUSE I AM GETTING LOST IN YOUR EYES." I SAID THAT MADE HER BLUSH.

"YAH..." SHE SAID.

"WELL IT'S YOUR FAULT, YOU KEPT ON LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT...I LIKE IT, NO SCRATCH THAT, I LOVE IT." I SAID.

"OK, HERE I GOT ONE." JENNIE SAID.

"BRING IT ON." I DARE HER.

"I HOPE YOU KNOW CPR, BECAUSE YOU JUST TOOK MY BREATH AWAY!" SHE SAID THAT MADE ME SPEECHLESS. IT'S RARE THAT SHE COULD GET ME WITH HER PICK UP LINES.

"YOUR SHOCKED ARE YOU?" SHE SAID BUT I JUST ACT COOL.

"OK, WELL HERE'S A BETTER ONE." I SAID.

"WE'LL SEE." SHE SAID AS SHE SMIRK.

"I WOULD NEVER PLAY HIDE AND SEEK WITH YOU BECAUSE SOMEONE LIKE YOU IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND." I SAID.

JENNIE'S POV

AS LISA DROPPED HER LINE, I CAN'T HELP BUT TO SMILE LOVINGLY. HER EYES SAYS IT ALL... IT'S NOT JUST A PICK UP LINE, SHE MEANS IT.

"STOP IT." I SAID AS I COVER MY FACE WITH THE TABLE NAPKIN.

"YOU GIVE UP." LISA SAID.

"NO, OK HERE..." I SAID BUT SHE JUST SMIRK.

"I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR THE GIFT." I SAID.

"WHAT GIFT?" LISA ASKED.

"I'VE BEEN WEARING THIS SMILE EVER SINCE YOU GAVE IT TO ME." I SAID.

"AAAWWW, SWEEEEEET." LISA SAID.

"YOUR TURN." I SAID.

"I ALWAYS THOUGHT HAPPINESS STARTED WITH AN 'H',BUT IT TURNS OUT MINE STARTS WITH 'U'. " LISA SAID THAT MADE MY HEART EXPLODE. AISH THIS MANOBAN.

"GOTTA ADMIT IT'S PRETTY GOOD BUT MINE IS BETTER." I SAID.

"SPILL." SHE SAID.

"DO YOU HAVE A PENCIL? CAUSE I WANT TO ERASE YOUR PAST AND WRITE OUR FUTURE." I SAID THEN SHE HOLD MY HAND.

"WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO ERASE MY PAST IF YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE IN IT. IT MAY NOT BE PERFECT LIKE SOME OTHER FAIRYTALE STORY... OUR PAST IS NOT LIKE SOME OTHER DISNEY PRINCESS AND PRINCESSES, OUR PAST DOESN'T HAVE ANY HAPPY ENDING, BUT WE'LL HAVE IT IN OUR FUTURE." LISA SAID THAT MADE ME STOOD UP AND WENT TO SIT ON LISA'S LAP AND HUG HER TIGHT.

"I LOVE YOU." I WHISPERED.

"I LOVE YOU TOO." SHE WHISPERED BACK THEN KISSED THE TOP OF MY HEAD.
