JENNIE'S POV

I wake up to my mom gently shaking my arm

"Hey, mom"

"Hey sweetie, your dad and I arrived home from work. How are you feeling?" She asked smiling at me

"I'm good," I said smiling back at her then widening my eyes as I remember Lisa

"Wait, where's Lisa? Or did I sickly hallucinate her coming here? Or did I dream it? It was a good dream if that's what it was" I mumbled out

My mom laugh and points beside me

"Lisa is next to you. She's sleeping, Jisoo called and told me she would be coming over"

"Oh, she came," I said smiling at Lisa as she peacefully sleeping

"You know, I approve of her" mom comments

"What?" I asked looking at her in shock

My mom smiled and explain "Any girl that comes to check up on my daughter and stays to look after her is a good one. You two look good together"

"I have no idea what you are implying mom, but nothing is going on between us" I blurted out

My mom laughs again

"Jennie, it's okay. It's okay to admit you have feelings for her. Anyone can see it"

"Oh my gosh, are you giving my relationship advise?" I whined in embarrassment

"Well someone has to. Plus I ship you two" she chuckled

"Mom" I whined

"Please stop" I added laughing with her

"What? I may be old but I know what you kids are saying these days" she replied

My mom smiled at me and added "Hey, your father and I are making food. Come down in a bit, okay. And invite Lisa"

My mom walks out of the room and I turn to face Lisa, I can't help but reach over to caress her cheek

She looks so cute when sleeping, she would probably fight me on that, but I don't care

I pull my hand back and jump when I hear Lisa say "Hey, did I ask you to stop touching me"

I roll my eyes and push her farther away from me, She grabs my arms. She pulled me closer to her and wraps her arms around me

We are face to face, but good thing she still has her eyes close or she would have made fun of me for blushing so hard

"How are you feeling love?" She asked

"Better now" I replied smiling at her

"Why? Because I'm here with you?" She teased

"No, because of the medicine, but without you, I probably wouldn't have gotten up to get the medicine, so thank you"

Lisa finally opens her eyes and I am completely mesmerized

We stare at each other for a few seconds before she speaks up

"So, do I get a reward for all my hard work?" She said seductively

"Hard work? You hardly did anything" I teased

"Hey, getting up from this comfortable bed to give medicine was so hard" she whined

"You're a force to be reckoned with, Lisa" I answer rolling my eyes

"I know, so do I get my reward?" She asked with pleading eyes

"Fine, fine. What do you want?" I asked

"You know what I want," she said staring at my lips

My heart starts pounding like crazy of a sudden and my breath hitches as I try to comprehend what she just said

Lisa leans closer and put her hand below my jawline and lightly caresses my skin with her thumb

She leans even closer and all I have to do is lean forward to kiss her

Lisa closes her eyes and I panic. Are we going to kiss?

Wait a second? I'm sick!

I widen my eyes and quickly put my finger between our lips. Lisa opens her eyes in shock and looks at me weirdly

I pull back and blurt out "I'm sick, I don't want to get you sick, because then you would have to miss work and maybe school next week and I don't want that to happen"

Then Lisa widened her eyes in shock and sits up immediately

"Shitt! I forgot about work!"

I glance over at my clock and see that it's almost 7 pm. Lisa was supposed to be at work about 4 hours ago

"How did you forget about work?" I asked in disbelief

"Something distracted me," Lisa said rolling her eyes at me

"Had to be a really good distraction then because you could get fired, Lisa"

Lisa sighs then looks over at me intensely "You're more important to me than work"

I'm speechless. How am I supposed to respond to that? I can't even comprehend what she just said to me? Am I that important?

"You're important to me to Lisa, that's why I'm worried. You said you needed the money, what happens if you get fired?" I asked her

"I don't know" Lisa replied looking down at her hands

I scoot over to her and grab her hand, I intertwine our fingers like she always does

"Hey, no matter what I'll always be here"

"Even if I get fired and become poor?" Lisa said smiling at me

I smiled back and said "Yes, of course"

"How about if I flunk chemistry?" She continues

I rolled my eyes "First of all you are not going to flunk chemistry and second of all, I still wouldn't leave you. Remember what I told you that first day I tutored you?"

"I suck at chemistry" she teased

I scoff and shake my head "I told you. I would never give up on you. I'm keeping my promise Lisa and I'm adding another promise now"

"What are you promising now?" She asked

I lift my pinkie finger and point it to her, she rolled her eyes at me and lift her pinkie "I promise I won't leave you"

I intertwine our pinkie and smile at her. She gives me a beautiful big smile and my heart melts

It's so cute!

"Girls, dinner is ready!" My dad yelled from downstairs

"You hungry?" I asked

"Of course, I'm starving" We get up and head downstairs with our stomachs growling in anticipation
