A Wistful Summer's Night

Chapter 21: The Truth

Of course, Jimin beat me here. It was inevitable when he had his car and I had to come to my apartment on foot. Technically I was first to step into my apartment as I had the key so if you think about it...it was a draw.

"Pizza is here!" I call out to Jimin and walk into the living room with three large pizza boxes and a bag with our large bottle of Pepsi.

"On second thought maybe we got too much food," I say.

"Nah, one of them is a dessert pizza remember," Jimin says.

"That's true." I grin, set the food on my coffee table, and sit next to Jimin on the sofa.

Bzzt. Bzzt. Bzzt. Bzzt. Bzzt.

"Your phone is going off again," I say.

"It's fine, ignore it."

"Jimin, I bet that's your manager calling you."

"It's not."

"Jimin!"

"Okay fine, I'll check!" He grumbles and grabs his phone. "Oh, it's my Mum."

"Ring her back!" How can he ignore a call from his Mum?

"Alright, one second." He stands up and raises the phone to his ear. "Hey, Mum did you call?

He steps away from the sofa and I open the pizza boxes. Oh man, these smell so good. I pull the bottle of Pepsi out of the bag. Ah, right we need cups and some napkins.

"Do you want ice?" I say to Jimin from the kitchen.

"Ah, what? Yeah, I'll have some ice. What did you say, Mum? Yes of course I'm eating enough!" I giggle.

I pour our drinks and head back into the living room. "Yes the filming is going well...I'll come down and see you when they air the first episode."

"I'm gonna choose a film!" I say.

"No wait let me pick with you-I'm just hanging out with a friend Mum. Ugh, please don't read the news."

"Yes okay, I need to go now - no wait don't put Dad on!" He sighs "Hi Dad." He mouths sorry to me.

I smile and shake my head at him. It's fine, silly.

"Did you try turning the computer off and on again, Dad? Oh, it's working now? Wow, what a shocker." Jimin rolls his eyes.

I turn the T.V. on and choose a movie to play. "Okay, yes, yes. I'll talk to you soon, bye love you both. Okay, bye-bye."

"Right, I'm turning my phone off now," Jimin says, sitting beside me.

"What if your manager tries to call?"

"Then he'll have to wait, I want to spend time with my girlfriend." He wraps his arms around me and kisses my neck all over. I giggle and press play on the remote. "What are we watching?"

"Wait and see..." I keep my eyes glued to the T.V. The words Pride and Prejudice appear on the screen.

"Layla, again!?"

"It's a great movie!"

"We've seen it a hundred times."

"But Mr Darcy!" I gesture towards the screen with the remote. Jimin rolls his eyes and I jab him with my elbow "Come on you love it." I grin.

He pouts and looks off to the side "Jimin." I poke him but he doesn't move "Okay fine! I'll put something else on."

He reaches over and pins me to the sofa, his face only inches from mine "Uhh...Jimin?"
