to capture a killer

kill for you

TWENTY-TWO

When the sun's rays hit Lisa's face the next morning, prompting her up for the day, it was still early and she was still in Jennie's arms. A tangled mess of limbs and naked skin grazing against each other makes Lisa's lips turn up in a content smile as her belly warms. 

She turns into Jennie's neck to shield her face from the blinding rays and kisses every inch of the skin exposed to her, enticing Jennie from her sleep. The Korean woman scrunches her face before groaning and stretching out. 

They had never woken up together before; this was new for them. A slight trepidation rises in Lisa whilst Jennie wakes and realises Lisa is in her arms. It only eases when Jennie pulls her closer and kisses her forehead and Lisa reminds herself that she has nothing to worry about and that she had promised Jennie she would trust her, so she would until she gave her a reason not to.

Jennie grunts as she comes around and Lisa gasps in surprise when she feels fingers lightly travelling up the back of her thigh towards the inside of her leg.

Lisa wasn't a morning person and was not accustomed to sharing her personal space with someone, especially at this time. But she finds as two fingers slip inside of her and make her scream in ecstasy within minutes of her waking up that she might be quickly growing fond of mornings.

After a morning that went much like her night, Lisa hops in the shower to start fresh for the day. Jennie suggests they take one together to save water but Lisa knows that they have things to do and didn't need another distraction to stop them from stabilising their future. 

The cheeky look on Jennie's face encourages her to lock the door before getting in, but it ends up proving futile as ten minutes later whilst she's under the shower she is hugged from behind. A smile spreads across her face and she can't bring herself to even feign annoyance.

After a shower together, Lisa leaves the motel with Jennie and watches through her window as the dull streets pass her by, feeling slightly dismayed. 

"I didn't know Paris was like this," she mumbles as she leans her head against the window.

"We're in a poorer area, that's why. Paris is beautiful, especially if you know where to go, which I do. I'll bring you back for a holiday one day."

Lisa just hums, but she perks up when she feels Jennie's hand on her thigh. She sits up straight in her seat and smiles.

"So, where are we going today?"

"There's a guy. I need to get access to the rest of my money before we can go into hiding."

"Where will we go?"

Jennie shrugs. "Wherever you want, I guess. Just as long as it isn't in Asia," she pauses, "or New Zealand."

"What about South America?"

"Anywhere in particular?"

"I'll get back to you."

"Do it soon," Jennie says as she pulls up beside a small run-down house. "Wait here. Take this just in case." Jennie takes a gun out of the glove compartment and hands it to Lisa.

Lisa takes it and loads it. "Let me come in with you."

"No. I need you to keep watch for me out here, okay?" Jennie leans over and kisses Lisa's cheek.

"Okay," Lisa agrees without argument. 

"I won't be long," Jennie promises before getting out of the car. Lisa watched as she walks up to the house and knocked. Not thirty seconds later, she is let in.
