Because I Love You | jenlisa (ON HOLD)

Chapter 5

LISA

Lost in thought, I looked at the keys in my hand and frowned. I've had a Jeep at my disposal for two days now and I just don't know what to do with it. Just accept this strange gift and drive around with it. I couldn't and won't do it.

Who knows what else she will want to ask of me, maybe she wants something from me in return which would be pretty stupid since I didn't even want to do the whole thing, but it would be a possibility.

When my phone rang briefly, I put the keys aside and then picked it up. I actually expected my friends to have messaged me, but it was an unknown number. I immediately pressed the message and read it in confusion.

Unknown Number: I'm waiting for you at the door - J

After reading the message, I immediately sat up on my bed and opened my eyes in shock. Nervously, I immediately closed my phone and ran through my hair in stress. Thousands of questions were swirling in my head, making me just feel more confused and nervous.

I've only met this Jennie twice in my life and she acts like we're together or something. Giving gifts and nightly visits. Should I tell my dad about this? I would like to, but I was afraid something would happen to him. After all, he is a very aggressive man and would act rashly and stupidly, and Jennie doesn't look like she would really accept something like that. So I guess I have to deal with it myself.

I jumped out of bed and quickly put on a thin jacket which was lying on the floor, and quickly ran to the mirror but when I saw my reflection in the mirror, I immediately screwed up my face in disgust. I looked like as if I had risen from the dead and been run over a thousand times. A little exaggerated, but it's very close to what I'm seeing right now.

I didn't really care. After all, I somehow don't care how Jennie saw me now. She should then make herself pretty for me and not me for her.

I went to my closet and looked for my hidden box that had a variety of things in there. From diaries to pocket knives. I took a blue pocketknife that I once stole from Dean and put it in my jacket pocket. Then I closed my closet, grabbed the car keys and quickly dashed out of my room.

My parents and brothers were already asleep, which meant I could put on my shoes in peace in the hallway. I then quietly opened the front door and left the warmth. In the darkness, I slowly ran towards the street and looked for her, my heart racing and when I actually recognized her at the end of the street, I immediately stopped moving.

I could only see her silhouette, as our street was always very dimly lit at this time of day, but I knew immediately that it was her. Her overwhelming size and well-trained body just screamed for her.

I took another deep breath and pulled myself together again. With slow and unsteady steps I walked over to the woman who stood in the darkness. The closer I got to her, the more nervous I became. Slowly I was finally able to recognize her better. She was leaning against a car, her hands crossed over her chest and her gaze was fixed on heaven.

She also noticed me at some point and looked down at me from the stars. When she saw me, I saw a slight smile on her face.

"You came." She said, whereby I swallowed hard and came to a stop a little further away from her. 

The last few times I had always seen her in sports clothes but this time she was dressed quite smartly. A black dress with her jacket open and lacquered heels that looked quite expensive. Her hair was even slicked back, which showed off her cheekbones more. All in all, she looked like those models that you would immediately climb into bed with. Not that I would do that...

"Just to give you back." I said, then stepped closer to her and pressed the keys into her hand. She looked into her hand with a furrowed brow, while I then quickly stepped back again.

"How come? Didn't you like it? I could get you another model." She said and looked at me again. I opened my eyes in shock and couldn't even realize what she was saying. Is she really through with the world now?

"What? No! I don't want a car from you. Why should I want one? We don't even know each other." I said angrily, looking at her with wide eyes.

"Nothing that can't be changed." She said calmly, pushed herself away from her car and then slowly came towards me. I swallowed hard as I then slowly stepped back and looked at her in disbelief.

"Don't you think that's pretty weird? You're a complete stranger, you give me a car and then come to me that night? I don't want any of that." I said confusedly, whereupon Jennie smiled slightly and came to a stop in front of me.

"You sure, that you don't want it?" She then asked me and looked at me so intensely in the eyes, which just confused me even more. She took a step closer to me again, and I immediately reached into my jacket pocket and looked at her admonishingly.

"Don't come any closer to me." I said, trying to sound strong. But my heart was racing like crazy and I could already feel my hands starting to sweat.

"What if I do? What do you want to do against it?" She asked me amusedly, tilting her head slightly to the side. If she wasn't so hot, I would say she was like those disgusting psychos like in the movies.

When she came closer to me again, I clutched the pocket knife tightly in my hand and pulled out harshly. Just as I wanted to hold it out to her, she beat me to it and grabbed my hand harshly. And then in a few seconds she turned me around and pressed my back firmly against her chest. Eyes wide, I breathed in and out quickly and pressed my lips together.

"Let me go." I said angrily and tried in vain to free myself from her tight grip but she pushed me closer and closer to her, then gently took the knife from me and threw it on the floor.

"You probably didn't think that would work." She said amusedly against my ear, which gave me disgusting goosebumps on my skin. When she actually pushed my hair to the side, I closed my eyes angrily and clenched my hands into fists.

"I'm serious. Let me go, Jennie." I said angrily as she gently stroked my neck. I then heard her laugh slightly, and then she actually let go of me again. I immediately moved away from her and turned back to her in a frenzy.

"As you wish, cara mia." She said in her Italian accent while looking at me with a smile. She's welcome to shove her petty pet names up her ass.

"If so, take the car from here. Go away and just never come here again." I said irritably and looked at her admonishingly. Instead of her getting scared, she laughed quietly and shook her head in amusement.

"I can't do that." She said, making me wrinkle my forehead in confusion. She slowly walked towards me again while holding up the keys.

"I don't care what you do with these keys. As long as you have it with you and can always use it when you need it." She said, putting the keys back into my hand. I looked up at her with wide eyes as she stopped again a few centimeters in front of me.

"And I can't stay away from you either." She said more quietly and looked deep into my eyes. Again I noticed how warm I suddenly felt and how nervous this damn woman made me.

"Why?" I asked her in a quieter voice and looked into her eyes, stunned.

"Because you belong to me, Lalisa. And that's been the case since the first moment I saw you."

Shocked, I opened my eyes and looked at her speechless. This must all be a really bad joke.

"I don't belong to you. I never will. So leave me the fuck alone." I said angrily and then walked away from her again. While she grinned, I immediately turned around and ran back towards my house with angry steps.

"Lalisa!" She suddenly called after me, whereby I stopped again but didn't turn around to her.

When I looked up at her angrily, she just looked at me with amusement. Which really provoked me and pissed me off.

"Ci vediamo, belleza!"

I rolled my eyes in annoyance and even though I didn't know what she had said, I gave her the big finger backwards. I heard her laugh quietly in amusement, which just made me even angrier.

After that I simply ignored this psycho and quickly rushed home.
