Jennie
Somehow, my glass is empty again. I take a break from dancing and head over to the bar. The bartender is busy, so I lean against the bar table and drop my purse in front of me. I dig my phone out and flick through it.
I have a confirmation email from Audrant Bakery, an updated email thread between Ren and the landscapers, and a couple of missed calls from Taehyung. The words blur in my vision, and I have trouble concentrating, so I click away.
One missed text. 822-A Seoul number. I click on it.
Lisa: It's Lisa. Where are you?
I can't stop the grin that crawls across my face. I debate whether or not I should answer, but she's already seen that I've read it, so I have no choice now, right? That's the excuse I tell myself, anyway. My fingers fly over the screen.
Jennie: Magpie Tavern.
Jennie: Bridesmaids are in full swing.
Jennie: We're having fun. You'd hate it.
I don't want to be the girl who waits by the phone, so I click away from messages. I scroll back through my emails without reading anything, and then click back on my messages, far too eager and impatient. My heart leaps when I see Lisa typing back.
Lisa: Because I hate everything?
I snort a laugh at that.
Jennie: Yes.
There's a longer pause between texts now. The bubble which pops up tells me that Lisa is typing, but it takes her a few extra seconds to actually send the text.
Lisa: I don't hate you.
Jennie: Aww.
Jennie: That's practically a proposal coming from you.
Lisa: I think I've had enough of weddings for a lifetime.
I bite my lip. I'm feeling bold, silly, and drunk. My mind drifts to memories of Lisa. Lisa's strong hands on my hips. Lisa's lips gracing my throat. Lisa. I know I should put down the phone, but instead, my thumbs betray me and type out another text.
Jennie: Send me a picture of your junk.
Jennie: ;)
Lisa: Or I can come by and give you the real thing.
It takes a lot to embarrass me, but I feel my face go completely red at that. I stare at the text, debating how to answer. I want her. That's the easy answer. But I know better than to get involved with the bride's family... at least, I should know better...
