Jennie
Pulling into the cobbled driveway of a beautiful flat condo that looked more like a glass house for a doll, the throaty engines purred to a halt as the car switched off. As ever the chivalrous person that she was, Lisa swiftly made her way to my side and pulled open the door. Offering me her hand which I gladly took, we made our way up the short steps as the door was flung open.
Immediately Lisa let go of my hand as insecurity slammed into me. An exasperated smile tore at her mouth as her sister appeared on the doorway. From such a close vantage point the similarities between the siblings were hard to be missed. They had the exact shade of rich blonde hair colour and warm amber eyes and even that same pink mouth. Defined cheekbones and that ever present air of sophistication filled out their looks that redefined beauty.
"Lali..." She said poking out her tongue at Lisa.
"Rosé, I told you to stop calling me that." Lisa said to her sister, while sulking cutely.
A giggle escaped my throat causing both siblings to look my way. A flicker of surprise passed through Rosé's eyes as she mentally assessed me. Self-consciously I pulled down the hem of my top worrying my lip in the process.
"Rosé, this is Jennie." Lisa said as a slight introduction, "Jennie, I would like you to meet my sister Rosé."
"It's a pleasure to finally meet you." I said to the shocked blonde.
A slow smile overtook her angelic face as she stepped forward and pulled me into a warm hug.
"The pleasure is all mine." She stated in a soft cheerful voice before scowling at Lisa, "You could have told me you were bringing company I would have gotten dressed up."
What did she mean?
Even without makeup, her creamy skin was flawless. Her natural curls hung just about everywhere framing her sweet face and the stylish romper she wore made her look teenage-like and playful.
"I should get you a dozen nun outfits and the mappings to the nearest church." Lisa replied back scowling at her short romper as we headed inside.
"And I should get you all-new hair products for that balding spot." She said grinning wickedly at Lisa, "Do you need me to fix that piece for you Lali?"
And for a while the sibling banter continued all in good fun as we relaxed in the backyard enjoying the heat and overlooking the pool before Lisa's phone rang, interrupting the conversation.
"Hey mate." Lisa said grinning into the phone.
I noticed she was doing that a lot today, something about her was remarkably different. She was so light hearted and carefree, it was such a joy to watch.
"She only smiles like that for one guy." Rosé said to me, "And that is especially reserved for the Korean version of Lucifer."
"I'm sorry!" I said laughing out loud at her, "Who?"
"That was Chanyeol." Lisa informed.
"Him." Rosé said to me as a scowl made its way to her lips as though she plotted murder in her head.
From her heated look I concluded that there must have been some bad blood between them.
"I have to head down to the office to collect some documents." Lisa informed as she rose from her lounge chair, "I'll be back soon."
Nodding, I took the chaste kiss that she placed on my lips and felt my mood immediately saddened as she left. There was silence in the air as Rosé pensively stared at me. Any minute now I was waiting for her to bash me or make a negative statement but none came until she finally spoke.
