TEMPTATION | JENLISA G!P (COMPLETE)

CH 11

"You have some nerve!"

I glare at the woman before me. She looks a mess; her face is blotchy and red from crying, those usually rosy defined cheeks are now stained with mascara, gone is the stylish outfit she was wearing this morning, it has been replaced by her light pink pyjamas with bunnies all over, she always wears these when her latest fling has dumped her ass. I haven't seen these for a few months that's because Jisoo was keeping her well satisfied. She is just standing there whimpering and I can't bear to look at her. The rage is eating me up inside and I know if I don't get into this apartment soon, there will be a scene. I push past her and slam my purse on the kitchen counter. It's plainly obvious that she wants to talk now and I won't be able to just lock myself in my room. I am going to need some Dutch courage if we are going to do this. I spot a half open bottle of scotch in our drinks cabinet, I usually can't stand the stuff but right now I need something strong.

" Where have you been?" she murmurs, watching me warily as a swig back the amber liquid.

" Why do you care? I'm sure our precious Jisoo has already called and filled you in on the day's events." She hesitates before answering me which I know means that Jisoo has been in touch.

" I- I haven't heard from Jisoo.."

"STOP LYING!" I scream "Stop. It. I have known you, lived with you for nearly 5 years now I know when you hiding something. At least I thought I did before Christmas".

" I'm sorry Jen, I'm so so sorry.."

" This is what's gonna happen Rosie, you are going to tell me everything, any question I ask I want answered. Honestly. I think you owe me that much don't you?" I snarl and Rosé nods. Her head hangs down and those perfecting manicured fingers are fidgeting in her lap as she perches on the edge of the couch. I sit opposite on the armchair we bought a few years back, it was an impulse buy in Ikea when we were on one of our pretend we are proper adults and buy home furnishings for our new apartment in the city days. The memory hurts my heart, Rosé is the closest thing I've ever had to a sister, we do almost everything together.

" Why Jisoo? Out of all the women on earth you choose my girlfriend. Have you seriously slept with them all?"
I know I am being bitchy but right now the hurt I am feeling is over-riding all other emotions.

" I have always found her attractive.." I glare at her, fighting the urge to rip her hair out. I wanted the truth and this is what i am getting. "..I tried Jen, I really did. I went out when Jisoo came over, I slept with other guys to block it all out, even after the first time I pushed her away refused to acknowledge what we did and how I felt but the pull became too strong.." Rosie's voice is barely a whisper at this point. I suppose I relate in away, Lisa and I are dealing with similar issues.

" Who made the first move?"

" It was mutual. There had been little moments, if you wanna call them that but nothing until you went to your mother's. You had left for New Zealand on the Thursday morning and I was getting ready for class. The doorbell went and I answered it, she came looking for you because you had arranged to meet or something, I told her the situation and offered her a drink. One drink turned into 7 and then.. it-it just happened.." I close my eyes and a tear trickles down my face. The knife keeps twisting further and further into my heart.

"Was i ever close to catching you?" She nods, and i take a deep breath suddenly remembering the time i arrived home after class to find Jisoo here acting strange and jumpy. Now i know why.
