If you were given a chance to go back time, would you? Walking back-and-fort I asked myself that question over and over. As I felt the cold breeze coming from the thick air I stared at the stars from above, shimmering through the thin layers of clouds.

"What's on your mind Jennie?"

The voice echoes from afar, turning my head there she was standing tall and proud. "When did you get here?" I asked, smoke coming out as I spoke.

"I asked you a question first my love." She sits by the swing beside me, the snow continuously falling. "Just questions, you know how I am." I smiled, without giving her a glance. A soft chuckle leaves her breathtaking lips, as she replies with a hum. "What?" I asked, my gaze finally on hers.

She was looking at stars from above, her Adam's apple showing. Admiring the view, she looked like she came from a painting, with her long eye lash, her gorgeous circular eyes, and her plump lips. "You look beautiful." The words coming out louder than I expected.

She turns to face me and her eyes softens. Her lips curves into an upwards smile and in an instant she stood up, her gaze never leaving me as she slowly approach me. "May I take the hands of thy lover, and invite you for a dance in this cold,  astonishing night?" Her hands extending towards me. 

As I look directly to her eyes, her oh so gorgeous dark-brown eyes. I couldn't help but smile to myself as I accept the hands of my lover. Guiding my hands, she brought my to her shoulders as she places hers around my waist, swaying through this memorable night. Placing my head against her chest, we swayed together as she hums a song. 

"I love you, so so much." She whispers. "And I love you most, my love." I replied smiling as I do so. "Look at me." She then says, as soon as I look at her, her eyes twinkled and the next thing that have happened caught me by surprise;

"Underneath those dull eyes of yours, I believe something far more colorful are yet to be discovered"


Lisa speaks with her long, slender fingers caressing my face. The tension between us was unbearable, I couldn't utter a single and I could barely keep my balance without having the feeling of my knees trembling.

"I-" It's always like this, I could never have the courage of replying without stuttering whenever she talks this way . The weather wasn't a cup of tea either, the mix of cold air and Lisa's fingertips on my cheeks was enough to make my body weak. I faced the ground covered in shame, saying anything would be pointless now. I stuttered, I lost it. Again.


"Nini"


Her soft voice echoed, I raised my head and was faced by an angel. She always look so beautiful, it's like a painting that's actually alive. I replied in hum and she smiled in respond, whatever this may be, may this heart of mine guide me through this journey. Perhaps A Little Bit of It wouldn't hurt.


"My love, no matter how gray the skies may be, I'm always here with you. The things that disturbs you, I will listen to every word. The more we spent our days together, has it never occurred to you that maybe I would notice how off your mood has been? I know the tragic accident have happened two years ago but my love, please let me help you." 

Right, it was two years ago.. why is it so hard to just be happy and accept that your lover is finally here with you? Guilt? Pain? Mind fucking me I have no clue. It's not that I'm being dramatic but the pain just never leaves, no matter how long it has been or how Lisa feels better now I just couldn't help the fact that she was in a comma for a whole seven months. The memory remains. 

"I'm sorry for being a handful with this whole thing. Sometimes I just don't know what to do, I know I should be glad and thankful that you're finally here with me but, the memory of you having the possibility of not being alive just haunts me still." I replied in a shaky voice, tears falling to the ground as I never bother to look at her.

"Love, look at me"

Should I? Without having any chance to move she touches my chin and made me look at her, her touch filled with softness and care. As she carefully wipes my tears, her head closing in on me, moments later I felt a pair of soft lips caressing mine. Her soft plump, cherry lips kissing mine. As her hands wander around me, embracing every part of me, she pulls me closer by my waist, with moans exciting her lips.

The sound she makes is driving me insane, with her tongue licking my bottom lip I couldn't help but gasp at the sudden action. From then on, I lost control over my body, it was officially under the spell of none other than Lalisa Manoban, the love of my life, the woman I want to spend my whole life with.

The moment we stopped, a glimpse of thin saliva was felt as she placed a few distance from me. "No matter, whatever it is that's bothering you, I'll always listen. You don't have to pressure yourself into telling me, but all I'm saying is my love, as your lover, your best friend, your partner in crime, your Lalisa Manoban is here with you, and will always be here with you no matter what. I love you so so much, the thought of losing you scares me." She spoke in a whisper, reassuring me that she will never indeed leave.

As I let our foreheads touch, I finally am in the hands of the person I love most, the person I'll ever love, the person I fell in love first.

"I love you always and more." I replied, our hands intertwined with one another.

"And I love you most, my sweet, sweet Jennie Kim."
