Jennie
"Jennie?"
I scooted into the backseat of the Lyft, "That's me." I pasted a smile on my face.
The driver looked at me in the rear-view mirror, "Coming back from vacation?" she asked as she pulled away from the curb.
"Yeah, a much needed vacation." I lied.
The driver chuckled, "I hear that. I really wish I was on a trip this long weekend rather than working."
"You and me both." I thought to myself. Pulling out my phone, I texted Alison not knowing if she was up yet.
Me: Hey! Want to grab breakfast?
A reply came almost immediately, surprising me.
Alison: If you're asking that just to make me jealous because you're in Paris, it's working. LOL but I'm actually on my way to my parents place. It's kind of a reunion kind of thing.
Alison: How was your flight though?
My thumbs paused at the question, Alison knew that Taehyung and I were going to Paris for the long weekend. But I was always apprehensive about telling her about my relationship problems with Taehyung because she already didn't like him.
Me: It was fine :) went by pretty quick actually.
Alison: Must be nice LOL
Alison: I'd say have fun but that would be super fake of me. So instead, I'll say I hope you choke momentarily on a baguette while you overlook the Eiffel Tower LOL
Alison: I say all of that, with love :)
I rolled my eyes at her messages with a smile. The car pulled over a couple of blocks from my building. The driver turned around with a shy smile on her face, "Has anyone ever told you, you look exactly like the actress, Jennie Kim."
I laughed as I put my hand on the door handle," I get that a lot. "I stepped out of the car, "Thank you for the ride." I smiled as I shut the door and walked towards my building. As I rode the elevator up, I couldn't help but think about how pathetic I was. Waiting for over five hours at an airport for my boyfriend only to get stood up, with no phone calls, no text messages, and no explanation.
I needed a glass a wine, or maybe just the entire bottle.
