The Kim [Addams] Family

TWO.

Jennie lets out a small groan as she shoves her face into her pillow, trying to block out the filtering sunlight from her grand windows. Jennie had a light headache from the night before, and her body is a bit sore from dancing, but it doesn't stop the smile from overtaking her face from the memories of the night.

Lisa.

Jennie actually squeals into her pillow at the thought of her name. Last night felt like a glorious dream made of dust and moonlight. Too perfect to be true, Jennie almost wouldn't believe it, if Lisa hadn't left her her pocket watch. Jennie throws her hand out, patting around the bed for the watch. Her fingers feel the hard, circular shape and bring it up to her face to look at.

Jennie holds it above her face with the chain. Intricate carving detail on the silver watch can be seen in the sunlight. It certainly has been through many things. Some details have been worn down by constant rubbing and there are quite a few scratches on the outside shell. Jennie presses the button to open the cover, staring at it with heavy, barely awake eyes. The inside is also slightly tarnished from heavy use with a greying glass. Jennie wasn't able to see all these small details last night when she was too busy saying goodbye to Lisa.

After Jennie had tried every trick to delay Lisa's departure, begging for another dance, trying to get her to tell more stories, she had worked herself into a small mood. Lisa noticed and was very worried, it pained her to see Jennie so sullen, she was about to cancel her important meeting but Jennie snapped herself out of it. She was being dramatic.

Jennie quickly fixed her mood and reassured Lisa she'd be fine with a wet waterline. They stood at the doorsteps to Jennie's house as Jisoo and Chaeyoung stood in the doorway, watching over as they said their goodbyes. Jennie could tell she wasn't hiding her emotions as well as she should because Lisa still wouldn't budge from the steps. Lisa held her hands tightly, eyebrows creased and a frown on her face as she searched over Jennie's face.

"I promise, I'm fine. I was just being dramatic again, my love." Jennie reassures, for the hundredth time.

Before it was Jennie begging Lisa to stay. Now it was Jennie begging Lisa to leave. Lisa doesn't look convinced as she reaches into her suit pocket and pulls out the pocket watch she used before.

"Here, keep this with you at all times. It's a physical manifestation of my promise to see you as soon as I can." Lisa said, as she put the watch into her hands. "It's a very important watch, passed down my family line and used by each person, so you know I'll be back for you. In the meantime, keep it safe."

Jennie nods determinedly as she cups the watch, ready to take great care of it. "I will,"

Lisa smiles as she sees the sad emotions on Jennie's face be wiped away by determination. "I know you will, cara mia."

After that, Lisa planted a kiss on her forehead and headed off in her vintage car. Jennie stood on the doorsteps watching the car leave until it blended in with the dark cloak of night.

Now, the morning after, she hasn't let the watch leave her body. She spent the rest of the night with her sisters, watch in hand, and went to sleep with it clasped to her chest. The big smile on her face wouldn't leave.

Jennie is so happy, the lull of sleepiness has completely disappeared. She lays, spread out like a starfish, on her huge bed, made for more than one person but Jennie liked the space.

One side of her bed was against a dark, glossy wall, and was parallel to the balcony doors that ran along the long side of her L-shaped room. On each side of the balcony doors were several big window panels, framed with dark wood, that let in lots of natural light during the day and allowed Jennie to see the sky at night. To her right was her big vanity table and an emerald green chair beside her racks of clothing. To her left was the short jut of the L-shape room where one door led to the hallway and the other to her ensuite. In the corner was her grand, full body mirror and on each side of her bed were bedside tables.
