The Devil's Sweetheart

56

Her one line of misunderstanding would have erased the happy moments they shared if Lisa was not cautious enough and come transparent with her. Although they were not officially a couple in the past, they almost behaved like one, that's what he felt. The three words were at the tip of his mouth and he wanted to tell those three magical words when he confessed his feelings but it's not the time and he knew Jennie would not accept it if he made it simple, after all, she is an attention seeker. She would shamelessly ask for a huge one or more she would nag him for not giving a proper proposal. If everyone is born crazy, only she remained that way.

When Jennie has taken the initiative to kiss him, Lisa was like a dog with two tails. She hates being touched by a man and now she has turned over a new leaf. He was proud that only he was the one to bring her out of that state. His thoughts were broken when a sweet mellifluous voice seeped into his ears.

"Lisa...." Her voice babbled happily like a mountain river.

"Hm?" When the name escaped from her lips again, it threw him to the edges causing him to have a buck fever like novice hunters experience a nervous excitement at the sight of a game. From the day, they knew each other, she called out his name for the first time when they were drowning in each other's passion and he was in tenterhooks expecting to hear his name to boot. With the vigor she was calling his name, his heart is racing at a zillion horsepower speed.

"Lisa....." Jennie called him all over again. They were still in the secret room and like a koala, Jennie was cuddling him, except that her face is now resting on his shoulders. Even when he wanted to carry her out of the room, she didn't let him. She wanted to be in the secret room for a while which he has taken an effort in designing for herself.

"Hm...Tell me, sweetheart."

"I like your name." All in honest, Jennie liked his name when Reese talked about Lisa for the first time, and instantly she liked the name and even felt jealous that her mom has not thought of such a unique name for her. "Ask me what's in your name that I liked? I will tell you the answer."

Crazy idiot, Lisa thought. Then she should have answered it straight away. Why asking me again? It's like posting a picture on Facebook or Instagram and asking friends to post a comment on it and then shamelessly replying a thank you to the post. He was sure that she would be doing these kinds of things. His brother has a habit of doing this kinky stuff.

"What's the thing you liked in my name? Is the question okay for you, madam?"

"I guess it's fine. Since you are begging for my answer, I will take that opportunity. Your name has everything you do. Did you find my answer cute?"

"Damn cute." But phsyco, he kept the thought to himself.

"Thank you." She added with a sheepish smile. "When did you capture the photos? I never knew you are so good at photography." She was amazed by his photography skills. Although she has seen it already when he taught her the basics, it was still a surprise that he is talented in everything. She felt the photos a little similar to her beloved photographer, except that he is more into capturing animals, galaxies, and landscapes.

"From the day you came to Seattle. I secretly captured them. I kept it as secret thinking that you would bark at me if you ever find them." He explained.

"I am not a dog." She hit his shoulders with her fists.

"And they said, the barking dog never bites but didn't you bite Jisoo?" Recalling the memory of that night, he chuckled remembering her funny feasts after inhaling nitrous oxide.

"He deserves it for not allowing me to see you," Jennie added. "Put me down. I can walk."

"No." He instantly decided.
