Inexperienced | JENLISA

I straightened my dress as I took in my outfit for the day. Yesterday was a mess. I just prayed I never saw Taecyeon again, and that he kept his mouth shut about what I said. To say I brought crazy cat lady to a whole new level was an understatement.

Works for a cat magazine, works with cats, writes about cats, is a virgin, confessed to being a stage five clinger, and professed love on the second date—yup, confirmed my single status for the next forty years.

Blowing out a heavy breath, I pulled my hair out of my curlers and ran my fingers through the strands. Pleased with my hair and white sundress, I put on a pair of my brown sandals, grabbed my purse, and headed out my door. It was time to have brunch with my parents.

I was halfway to the front door when someone cleared their throat behind me. I turned to see Lisa leaning against our couch, wearing a pair of khaki short shorts and a white polo shirt that clung perfectly to her body. Her hair was styled like normal, and she was wearing a pair of brown sandals as well. God, she looked beyond yummy.

"Good morning, love. Where do you think you're going?"

Shocked Lisa was in the apartment, let alone talking to me, I turned to face her and replied, "What are you doing here? I thought you weren't coming home until Monday."

She shrugged her shoulders and started walking toward me.

"I was hungry, thought a couple of plates of French toast would do the trick."

"You're going to brunch with me?" I asked, a little shocked at the turnaround in emotions from Lisa.

"I am," she smiled as she stood right before me. She grabbed my hand and kissed the top of it. "I'm sorry, Jennie..."

The woman was apologizing to me when I was the one being an ass. How could I even think about turning her down the other night? I was so damn confused.

"No, stop, stop apologizing. I'm the one who should be sorry. I shouldn't have been so, so..."

"How about we don't?" she interrupted me. "Let's just drop it and go have a fun day on Long Island, eating French toast and playing Yahtzee."

"It's not a guarantee we'll play Yahtzee," I laughed.

"Love, when it comes to your parents, it's always a guarantee. I just hope I get the neon green dice this time. They're lucky."

"I'm sure if you make it known you're putting the neon ones on reserve for after brunch, you'll be able to play with them."

"I better, last time I had to play with the red dice, and we just didn't mesh well."

"Red is so not your color."

"It really isn't," she smiled that charming smile at me, and then pulled me into her body and kissed me on the top of my head. "I missed you, love."

"I missed you, Lisa. Especially after yesterday."

"Oh, yeah." she cleared her throat and said in a serious voice, "How's it hangin', love?"

"Ugh, I hate you and Jisoo," I replied while pulling away and walking toward the front door.

Lisa caught up to me and turned me around while laughing.

"No, you don't. You love us."

"Unfortunately."

"Tell me, was it really that crooked?"

I nodded and replied, "You know how a giraffe's head extends perpendicular from his long neck?"
