Lowkey, Wifey | Jenlisa (Book 2)

10 - connections

- Lisa's POV -

Evening hours were about to hit and i genuinely couldn't stop pacing back and forth in my bedroom. Juliet thankfully was downstairs, doing some work related stuff as it was urgent but my mind was constantly on pace.

It would be stupid to not text Jennie and tell her that i can't make it tonight but than again i want to leave so badly. This pure desire to see her again, talk about the most basic stuff was holding such a tight grasp in my mind.

But i can't let Juliet down. It's been so terrible for how i leave early and come back late, completely zero communication between us the past two weeks and till this moment i can't understand why i was and still want to continue that pattern.

I know i like her. Maybe even drifting into the love era. She's been with me for months and gave encouragement to start my career in k-pop again. Juliet is- Well- Fuck! I just can't stop thinking for the betrayed i'm about to give to Jennie for not coming tonight though but i don't have a choice.

I grabbed my phone off the bed and swiped her number, writing out the message as quick as possible before even deeper regret sinks in. I threw it back down and entered the bathroom, switching the tap on to the coldest. I splashed my face with the water, easing in the temperature to calm myself down.

-- One Week Later --

I sat down on the couch, placing the notebook and pen on the coffee table. I grabbed my guitar and positioned it in my lap, going over the strings to try and come up with a melody which i caught onto pretty quickly.

Minutes flied by and a few sentences were already laid on the notebook. Opening my mind so widely yet sinking so deep into it that the lyrics started drifting off about something..

baby, take my hand,
don't fear the water.
as long as we are close
the world is silent.

i just wanna dream.
forget the sorrow.
open my eyes wide again
to see you right next to me

the waves are inescapable.
rising tides is all we fear
but our bodies so warm
oh so warm to melt

baby, let me take those hands,
wrap them around me.
let you feel safe,
oh so safe in love.

-- Flashback --

I watched Lisa pull her hoodie off, dropping it on the sand. "Alright. I'm getting second thoughts." I spoke out, my body already so tensed up from just the wind. "It's okay. I'll just get a dip myself then." Lisa slid her sweatpants off, leaving herself only in a bikini.

"Lisa, wait." I stopped her. "I wanna do it." I watched her lips form a smile towards me after my confession. "Come on." She grabbed the bottom of my hoodie, helping me pull it off and get undressed.

"Oh shit!" I yelped out, hearing Lisa give out a laugh right after. "Not the first time we are doing this, love." She slowly guided me to the water, the feet beginning to enter first as there was no going back now.

It was late. Almost dark enough to not see the beaches shore. Lisa immediately had submerged herself in, allowing her breathing to even out.

"How?!" I looked at her as i was just shivering, afraid to go any deeper than my chest area. "Just take your mind off the cold. Confidence, Jen." She encouraged me further.

And just than, i pushed myself under, in instinct already coming back up as i couldn't take in the cold water.

"This is like death from hyperthermia!" I mumbled the words out mids my shaky voice. "Yet you did it." Lisa's arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me against her body tightly.

"Why on earth are you so much warmer?!" I felt her body heat almost immediately. "Because i'm already used to it." She continued her calm behavior with a smile.

Just taking in the seconds, the sounds of the waves already made me ease into the temperatures. My forehead pressing against hers to feel even more safer.

"It's genuinely great to know that snow is right around the corner." I broke the silence, trying to take my mind off the tensed feeling even more. "Just because of Christmas?" Lisa questioned.

"Obviously but the atmosphere that comes with it is so exciting." I explained myself, genuinely fixated about the topic so hardly to forget the pain that is roaming my body.

"I love you." Lisa completely changed the theme and spoke out. My face lightly up with a smile. "I love you more." My breath brushed against her lips.

I felt her hands pull me even tighter against her. My arms gracefully laying on her shoulders as i caressed the back of her neck, pulling her in.

It felt like the whole world stopped. I can't lie, my body had became numb from the coldness already but having her so close and safe was beyond melting.

-- End of Flashback --

My eyes shot open, seeing the white ceiling i recognize before looking over the bedroom, noticing i'm alone. I pushed myself sitting and slammed my hands on my face, rubbing the tiredness away.

I made my way in the bathroom, staring right back at myself in the mirror in complete disappointment. I couldn't even contain the wave of emotions that started to flow through my body.

Why? What have i done to be in such a place? The second fucking time i am hit with a memory i never wanted to experience ever again for the sake of how fucking much has changed and there's no going back!

I slammed my palm on the counter, continuing it a few more times to try and block myself out from how stupid i feel right now but i stopped my actions as the sound of the bedroom door opening filled my ears.

"Jennie?" Adam appeared in my view through the mirror. "Oh, you're awake from the nap? How do you feel now? Is the migraine gone?" He came further in, forcing me to make eye contact with him. "It's gone, thankfully." I pushed up a smile, seeming completely fine.
