LISA'S POV

"Wakey wakey beautiful" Someone whispers to me while gently poking my cheek

I groan and turn over to cover my face with the pillow

The bed dips a bit next to me and suddenly I'm being attacked by kisses all over my neck

"Come on Lisa. it's morning, you need to get up"

"Nooo!" I whine out causing her to laugh at me

She continues to kiss my neck

"Stop please" I beg to open my eyes slowly to look at her. "If you keep that up we will end up doing something else and your parents might be caught us again"

"I'll stop" she squeaks out adorably

She tries getting up but I pull her back into bed and hold her in my arms

"I said no more neck kisses, now leave me alone" I explain kissing her on the cheek

Jennie laughed "Yeah but you're very hormonal. Me being here turns you on"

"Hey! I'm not that sex-crazed, I can restrain myself. Plus, I remember yesterday you were the one pushing me down on the bed and ripping my clothes off" I tease her

Her face gets bright red and she tries to move away but I have her trapped in my embrace. She tries to hide her face in the crook of my neck and I can't help but start laughing

"You're such a pain" she mumbled

"Okay true, but you love this pain in the ass," I said pulling her back so that I can see her face

She gives me a gummy smile that makes my stomach go crazy with butterflies

"Yeah I do love you" she whispered while bopping my nose with her finger

"Girls! Breakfast is ready!" Jennie's dad yelled from the kitchen

"We should probably go, I don't want my dad to have a heart attack by accidentally seeing his daughter making out with her girlfriend," Jennie said getting up. She extends her hand out for me to grab and I do

Jennie helps me stand up and we walk into the kitchen, still hand in hand

"Breakfast is served," Jennie's said showing us the table that is full of food. There are pancakes, eggs, bacon, toast, orange juice, and coffee

Wow, I've never had a breakfast like this. I was lucky to find cereal and milk at my old apartment with my mom

"Bon appetit" Jennie's dad said sitting down at the chair. The rest of us sit down and begin to eat

"After we are done, I'm going to need you to give me your social worker phone number so we can sort everything out," Jennie's mom said

I nodded and I probably looked terrified because Jennie puts a reassuring hand on my leg

"Don't worry, I'm going to make sure nothing happens to you, Lisa. We are not going to leave you alone" Jennie's mom added

"Thank you! Thank you all for everything" I said everyone smiled at me and we continue eating

After we are done, I help put the dishes in the sink. Then I dig through my bags to look for my social worker's phone number

I grab it and hand it to Jennie's mom

I leave her alone so she can talk on the phone and I go into the living room and sit next to Jennie on the couch. She can tell I am a bit tense so she puts her arm around me and I lean my head on her shoulder

We watch a random show with her dad while her mom talks in the background

After a few minutes her mom comes over to us and Jennie's dad turns off the TV

"I talked with the social worker, unfortunately, she hasn't been able to talk to your mom. She's been trying to call for the last few days"

"That's pretty normal. I'm usually the one who forces mom to answer the calls from the social worker. however, since I haven't been there she hasn't answered the calls" I said

"Yes, well originally the social worker wanted to help you with a place to stay. Since you're already 18, you have aged out of foster care or group homes. So they were thinking of having you go to a shelter for a few days until they figure out a way to help you more" Jennie's mom explain

"However, I told her that will not happen, you will stay here until they figure out how to help you"

"But I don't want to be a burden" I  murmured

"You are not a burden. You are a child who should have never been forced to act like an adult at such a young age. You will stay here for as long as you like" Her mom added

"I promise to help out around the house and get another job to pay for rent"

"It's okay, don't worry if you want to find a job you can, but save the money for college" Jennie's dad said

"That's a good point! The only condition you have for staying here is that you must go to college or university when high school ends" Jennie's mom added

"That's the plan. Attending college, I want to continue studying. Also, Thank you so much for opening your arms to me and giving me so much love" I replied with tears rolling down my cheeks

Jennie pulls me in for a hug and her mom and dad walk over to join the hug

After a few seconds, they let go, except for Jennie who continues holding on to me

"I need to do something special for your parents and you too" I whispered to Jennie

"No you don't, your presence is enough. Hugging and kissing you is enough, just seeing you is enough" she said, I can't help but wrap my arms around her neck and pull her in for a kiss

"I'm still going to do something nice for you" I added making her roll her eyes at me

"Fine, what do you have in mind?"

"How about I invite you to dinner tonight. My treat for you being such an amazing girlfriend?"

"Sounds tempting. Will dessert be involved?" She asked with a smirk

"Of course" I replied she grabs my chin to pull me in for another kiss

"Jennie! You're not a guest, so help me with the dishes!" Her mom yells from the kitchen

Jennie groans and gets up

"We will continue this in a little bit" she wink before she walks into the kitchen and I relax on the couch. Time to think of places to take Jennie tonight

I need to make up for us getting caught by her parents the other day

I intend to make today an amazing day for my beautiful girlfriend
