LISA

Roseanne: "wait! monkey please wait! Let me explain!"

I stopped from my tracks and turn my back to face her. I saw Jeon and Seulgi still at the back as they stop themselves from getting near us.

Jeon tapped Seulgi's shoulder and they walked out the scene giving us the moment to talk about what happened earlier.

Lisa: "5 minutes Roseanne Park! 5 minutes.."

I'm so damn angry at the moment as I am still recollecting my thoughts on what 5 minutes earlier as I see her tears are over flowing her eyes.

I'm so mad not because she kissed me in front of everyone nor in front of Ruby Jane and friends cause I know when I explain it with her she will definitely understand.

I was so mad thinking that she wasn't thinking straight that I am her bestfriend and she must thought about it first before doing something that will ruin our friendship.

She walk forward and I know how her eyes are pleading with guilt.

Roseanne: "p-please. I'm sorry. I was just jealous and all this time Ican't help myself but think on how many girls you were involved with and now I know there's something going on with you and that RJ with how you stare with each other! I know she was in your room last night! I know you like her! I'm so jealous Lisa! and thinking how could you give attention to someone we just knew but not me?! all this time I am forcing myself for your attention and hoping one day Lisa!One day! you will see me not just your best friend but --"

Lisa: "stop it! I don't want to hear it!"

I turn my back on her and ready to walked out when a pair of hands wrap around my torso.

Roseanne: "I love you Lisa. Since the day I laid eyes on you"

I was taken aback. I can't move but I want to runaway. Shocked wrapped my whole body as Roseanne's arms tightly wrapping around me like she don't want to let me go. I can't utter a single word as the things she did for me for the past years went inside my head. NO! It can't be!I didn't noticed that I am already crying. The thought of losing our friendship and losing Roseanne hurts me like hell. But how can I look at her when all this time, I was hurting her without me knowing. All the days I talked about Jennie, on how I missed her, love her.. I didn't know she was secretly hurting.

I am hurting my best friend.

Roseanne: "please.. let's just try Lisa. I don't want to lose you"

I slowly releasing her hands away from me as never looked at her again.

Lisa: " but you already lose me the moment you forgot how I cherish you as my best friend more than anyone else. thank you for everything Roseanne"

Her last screamed of my name is the last words I heard from her as I walked away from her. ---

I found myself on the near downtown of Loze're drinking inside a bar, alone for almost 2 hours. 


waiter :" avez-vous besoin que j'appelle quelqu'un pour venir vous chercher ?" ( do you need me to call someone to pick you up? ) 

Lisa: "d-do I-- do I look like drunk? hehe. you don't understand don't you?" 

I'm  drunk. yes. But obviously, I knew what is happening around me but the vodka makes me a little hyper and aggressive as I can't control what comes out on my mind and my body move. 

Lisa: "I saiddddd--" 

Lady: "c'est bon Marque je peux la gérer. Je suis son amie." ( it's okay Mark I can handle her. I'm her friend.)The waiter bow down that made me amazed and looked at where the voice of a woman came from and saw a pretty lady on my left side who talked to the waiter, looks so familiar.

Lisa: "excuse me miss? I think you--you.. not my --" Lady: "olaenman-ida lisa. naleul al-aboji moshaessneunga?" ( it's been a while Lisa. Dont you recognized me?)

I stared at this multilingual human being switching from French into Hangul  making me feel that I knew her somewhere. 

I scratched my nape when my thoughts of her as one of my flings that I had one-night stand with came across my mind that brought my lips grinning. 

My tipsy mind lost real quick when her hand landed at the back of my head, smacking me. 

Lady: "I'm not one of your bitches Lisa. I know that wicked smile" 

Lisa: "wehh? what's that for?!" 

Lady: "maybe it will help you to remember me stupid!" 

I scratched my head as I remember a classmate of mine in studying Hangul way back in Korea that really similar to her. The one who likes to smack some heads when she was laughing her ass out. 

Lisa: "jeoldae andwae! jeon somi?" ( no way! Jeon Somi? ) 

Somi: "I told you it helps" 

Lisa: "deabak! what are you doing here? I thought you're going back to Canada for good?" 

Somi: "hmmm.. I did and when I graduated, I travelled different countries for a year then I went back here cause I love this place.. I mean.. It's peaceful here and you? what's the famous Lalisa Bruischweller doing --? " 

I quickly covered  her mouth to shut it cause I don't want anyone to knew me and treat me like a VIP. 

Lisa: "shut it. I made a fake name just to be a simple human being once in my life. For the record. I hate the attention from the City." 

She held her both hands up  to surrender. 

Somi: "For the record too, this place is isolated from the City so no one is interested for some entertainment going  around" 

Lisa: "i know that's why I'm staying here  for a while" 

Somi: "alone?" 

I shake my head . 

Somi: "let me guess? you are with your girlfriend but then you had your break up awhile ago that's why you're here alone emptying  a bottle of vodka" 

I smirked then looked at her with my heavy eyes. 

Lisa: "so what are you? a papparazzi?" 

She laughed as if that's the best joke she heard. 

Lisa: "I'm with my friends but they're at the hotel so--" 

Somi: "wait! remember Roseanne Park? the one who plays guitar always? I've never heard some news from her." 

I choked at my own drinks as she chuckled and gave me some table napkins from that the waiter quickly gave her when she just lift her finger. 

Somi: "did I said something that made you remember an awful memory?" 

Lisa:  "no no.. sorry-- it's just that--" 

I let out a deep breath , put down my glass after drinking it and turn my body to face Somi. 

Lisa: "Rose'-- I mean Roseanne works in my company" 

Her eyes grew just before her glass licked her lips as she looks at me in slow-mo. 

Somi: "so you mean-- you and Rose--" 

Lisa: "no no no. not that. okay it goes like this-- "

Somi put settled her glass the face me with her whole body twisting her chair to meet my angle.

Lisa: "Roseanne decided to come with me in Paris .. So we went to same university and she applied for the job in my company then voila! she's my secretary AND! my best friend" 

She lean forward as she stares at my eyes. 

Somi: "just best friend?"  

Lisa: "wh-why do I need to lie?" 

She lean backward and laughed at my reactions. 

Somi: " come on! you didn't know she was into you did you?

My eyes grew wider. 

Lisa: "h-how did you--"

Somi: "oh! so you know?!" 

I turn myself back to the counter and continue my drink. 

Lisa: "an hour ago?" 

I said that made her shocked. 

Somi: "oh my-- You're unbelievable!  all of our classmates were gossiping about that you and Roseanne had something romantic in between" 

Lisa: "for real?" 

She nods without looking at me and I felt humiliated not because of the gossip but the oblivious thing that I didn't noticed.
