TEMPTATION | JENLISA G!P (COMPLETE)

CH 27

I sit twirling the engagement ring around my finger. The diamond twinkling as the sunlight hits it. Lisa really outdid herself on this one, the oval cut stone itself is set beautifully perched off the silver band which is encrusted with smaller diamonds. I asked her where she purchased this magnificent object only to be shot down by one of her famous smirks and a tap of the nose, although i have an inkling that she had a hand in the design. Walking around in public however has become an issue for me, this ring is probably the same price someone would expect a house to cost which automatically increase the threat level in my mind.

The ring wasn't actually presented to me until a hour after Lisa got down on one knee; I was so overwhelmed by the whole day, situation, the woman herself that I completely forgot i was suppose to have a ring. And of course the couple of rounds of beach sex successfully dispelled any thoughts of a diamond. Beach sex whilst is fun, naughty and highly pleasurable it does carry a few consequences which can put a dampener on what should be nothing more than a dirty memory. The day after was when I learned a new skill, how to extract sand from places you didn't even knew existed.

That was yesterday. Today..

I have a feeling will be the complete opposite. Lisa and I are off to the Kim's to inform the family of our news and my anxiety is at a all time high. The last time I felt this on edge was possible the first time I was to meet the clan only this will be 10 times worse. Back then I was simply being introduced as Jisoo's girlfriend and was expecting a quiet, albeit slightly intimidating Christmas, the events that occurred over those 2 days have changed my whole life and everything has been flipped on its head. No longer am I Jisoo's girlfriend, I am Lisa's fiancée. Amelia is still frosty towards me, she is polite and kind when she is forced to be but I still feel her reticence and who could blame her. Perhaps i was a little presumptive regarding the progress with my future mother in law. I honestly believed we were beginning to repair the damage to our relationship during my recovery period but as soon as i was able to leave the bed and no longer required her medically she began to break away and now we are almost back at square one. I have no idea what Lisa was thinking when she organised this little family reunion, we aren't ready I feel to all sit in one room and pretend everything is sweet as a peach. Feelings have been hurt, trust has been shattered and secrets have been rife this year. The gathering could have been considerably less stressful if we had just invited everyone over to Hera but no V is currently speeding us along the highway up to the Kim's residence.

As we pull up to the house along the long, dust driveway Lisa squeezes my hand intended as a comforting gesture and runs her thumb over my engagement ring. I pull it off and place it safely in my purse. My finger feels naked without it on even after only a day. I stare at my future wife. This woman is mine for the rest of eternity. How did I get so lucky? There she sits in casual attire; her white LV knit sweater over a black basic tee, ripped jeans, a pair of sneakers. She looks edible and if it wasn't for the fact I was about to be thrown into the lion cage I would fully utilise the power this ring gives me and jump her. Lisa notices my appreciation and rewards me with a knowing wink before she climbs gracefully out of the car and around to open my door. Always the perfect gent.

"Mom. Dad". Lisa greets her parents as I subtly hide behind her statuesque frame. I am an adult for fuck sake and I cowering behind her! Get a fucking grip girl!

"Lisa.." Her mother kisses her cheeks and rubs her arms "Its so good to see you honey. I was surprised to receive your request for dinner. Is Mrs Jones ill?"

"No she is fine. Its just that it has been a while since we all were in one room together". Lisa eyes darken as she recalls that last time, it was when I was in hospital after the shooting. She reaches behind to grab my waist and pull me into her side, gently kissing my hair. Amelia and William watch the interaction and I see their hostility thaw a touch.
