THE DEAL

25 A tale of two tails

"Tell me!" Jisoo followed Lisa into the coffee corner and watched her pour herself a cup which was very uncharacteristic for the con-woman who always complained about the abysmal that was bureau coffee. 

Lisa ignored Jisoo and drowned her coffee in sugar. 

"Tell me!" Jisoo nudged her elbow, not willing to give up. This was not her most professional interogation technique but she figured with Lisa it would work at some point if she was annoying enough.

"Tell me or I'll actually force that soup down your throat that you just concocted there." The agent threatened with a disgusted look at Lisa's cup. Nobody took this much sugar with their coffee. 

Lisa threw her an amused, yet kind of apprehending look as if she was trying to figure out wether Jisoo was serious about it or not. "How did you manage to become an agent?" She mumbled out under her breath, blowing on the scorching hot coffee. She wasn't sure herself if she really wanted to drink it or not. She had just wanted to give her hands something to do to relieve the anxiety she felt after getting shot down by Jennie. And she had wanted to escape from Jisoo, but the smaller woman was like a pittbull when she put her mind to something. Biting Lisa's leg and not letting go, figuratively speaking.

"Yah! Don't get smart with me now Manoban! I know something is up and I might be able to help so tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell meeeeee!" She resorted to poking Lisa in the ribs until the con-woman put her cup down and smacked Jisoo's hand away.

"Stop it already! Fuck, you're annoying today. Does your wife know how annoying you are?" She flashed back in anger. 

Jisoo grinned like the little shit she was. "She does and she married me anyways! You could benefit from my relationship advice if you talk to me." She winked and Lisa went white in an instant. Was she really so easy to figure out when it came to women? 

Jisoo's smirk grew bigger at the reaction she was getting from Lisa. Her methods might be unorthodox but she was getting results, she triumphed silently in her head. 

"Wanna catch some fresh air with me on the roof Lisayah?" She asked her in a much softer voice than before, flashing her eyes back and forth between Lisa's to get her point across. They could talk privately on the roof. Lisa slowly nodded.

"And pour that away. Now."

Lisa nodded again and put her full cup of disgusting bureau coffee in the sink in slow motion before following Jisoo. 

The door to the roof closed behind them and Lisa breathed in and out deeply. She watched Jisoo who walked up to the edge that was protected by a sturdy brick wall that was about waist-high. At least for people of Lisa's height. Not Jisoo's. Or Jennie's. 

Urgh. Just the thought of the cat-eyed agent drove a cold dagger through Lisa's chest. She felt like she was the one who fucked up. Yet, she wasn't really sure. It takes two to tango. And Jennie had been the one to close the gap between them. Not Lisa.

Lisa remembered really wanting to close that gap and kiss her but she would have never done it, hadn't Jennie made the first move. It was something about respect and taking a professional relationship where Jennie was her boss, to a different level. And Lisa would have never done that without clear consent from the other woman.

She sighed again, joining Jisoo at the edge. 

"You know, sometimes I just wanna spit down there and see who I can hit with it." The dark-haired agent declared randomly.

Lisa snorted at that beyond amused. She could tell Jisoo was waiting for her to say something instead of pressuring her even more. She got her to come to the roof with her annoyingly fast, so she was visibly backing off a little now. Lisa appreciated that. Because technically, she wasn't ready to talk. But she kind of had to because there seemed to be no talking to Jennie.
