Chapter 8
Jennie woke up feeling tired. She didn't need to look at her face to know it was probably a mess, but she didn't care. She was completely ashamed, not of her face, but of her break down in front of Lisa, and worried because a part of her didn't mind it. It felt right to be held by Lisa. The day before was her annual nightmare and it was nice to have, for once, someone to count on. She was holding to that for so long. It felt good to get it out, to divide her pain with someone even if she could not talk about it.
She tried to go back to sleep, but the sudden smell in the air didn't let it happen. She could be wrong, but it was definitively coming from her own house. Lisa.
Jennie wanted to lurk a little. Lisa seemed completely integrated in her kitchen. Like she was born to be there.
*Oh, Jennie. Please. Your promised... remember? No feelings again. You know the end game. A broken heart. You can't lose your time thinking like this. She is not for you. You know it won't happen*
Jennie was so engrossed in her own thoughts that she didn't notice Lisa saw her.
"Hi."
"Hi."
"Are you alright?"
"Yes. I'm... I... I'm sorry for everything. I just don't know what took me over."
"I was really worried about you. Do you want to talk about it?"
"No!"
"Hey, calm down. I am just offering. Don't feel obligated to anything."
"I'm sorry."
Jennie blushed. Lisa's heart almost stopped when she saw that. It was not usual for her to see a grown woman to do that anymore. Lisa had to suppress a smile.
"What did you cook? I hope it tastes as good as it smells."
"It's really nothing. Just some eggs, bread and orange juice. I was preparing it to take to your bedroom."
"So, breakfast in bed? Not a good thing to do."
"Why?"
"I can get used to it."
*I can be here every morning* Lisa bit her lips to avoid telling Jennie what was in her mind. She would do everything to prepare breakfast for Jennie through her whole life. *Wow! You are thinking about a whole life with her already. It is serious, huh?*
Jennie ate her meal. After a while, Lisa heard her whimpering with pleasure.
"Lisa. What did you put in the eggs? It is delicious."
"That is my secret. If I tell you, my mother will kill me." Lisa smiled.
And Jennie couldn't breathe. *God! She is gorgeous! How can she be so delicious in the morning? *
"Lisa"
"hmm"
"Thank you for everything."
Lisa looked at Jennie to see a single tear sliding down her cheek. Lisa came around the island in the middle of kitchen and caught her face. Lisa used her thumb to caress it and could hardly hold herself to avoid kissing Jennie.
"It is ok. Whatever happened to you I just want to say that I'm sorry."
"Thank you."
Lisa kept looking at Jennie lips wanting badly to just feel that soft skin against her mouth. Jennie closed her eyes for a moment wanting desperately to be kissed. Instead, she heard Lisa say.
"It's... it's better for me to go. I... I... just want to give you some privacy."
