My little devil

splenderific

Two months later.

"Rosie, darling... have you seen my phone?"

Lisa and Rosé were getting ready to meet Alice for lunch.

This had been planned weeks in advance. Alice had called to let Rosé know she'd be visiting for a few days, and of course, Rosé told her about Lisa. Alice proceeded to interrogate her sister, and Lisa was there to hear the entire conversation since Rosé had the call on speaker.

"How long has this been going on?" Alice asked.

"A couple of months."

"Are you serious? Have we drifted apart that much that I don't hear about you dating someone until months later? That stings a little, Rosé. You used to tell me everything. We used to talk every single day when you first got to New York. Now I'm lucky if I hear from you every couple of weeks..." Alice sounded somewhere between hurt and annoyed.

"Alice..."

"No, Rosé. You know it's true."

"I'm sorry. Really. Let me make it up to you. We'll have so much fun when you get here. I even asked for the days off. And you're going to love Lisa."

Rosé went ahead and made plans with her sister for the three days she was going to be in New York. On the first day, Alice would go with them to the diner. Then they'd show Alice the city and take her to see a Broadway show. The second day was supposed to be filled with trips to art galleries and museums. And the third and final day would be spent in Lisa's penthouse. Lisa had arranged a brunch with her friends, as per Rosé's insistence -Rosé thought Alice would get along with Lisa's friends. Later on, they decided to also invite Rosé's friends, Jimin and Yeji, and Hyunjin. Lisa had yet to meet Hyunjin, but from what she'd heard, he was a very interesting character.

Lisa was nervous to meet Rosé's sister. Her previous relationships never got far enough to meet the family, as one would say. She never even met Vera's parents, and their relationship was pretty long-term. But that was mainly because she was young when she met Vera, seventeen to be exact, and Vera had been ten years older. Come to think of it, Vera had completely taken advantage of Lisa's innocence at the time. She took her virginity, her heart,and the years that Lisa was supposed to be finding herself. Instead, the last of her teenage years were spent worshipping and chasing Vera like a slave does its master. It was no wonder that Lisa spent the better half of her early twenties trying to figure out who the fuck she was without Vera.

But all that didn't matter anymore. What mattered now was her very real relationship with Rosé, one she wasn't willing to risk losing. Lisa would do anything in her power to make this work, which is why she shoved her nerves aside and offered to drive Rosé to the airport to pick Alice up.

"I think you left it in the living room!" Rosé shouted from the bathroom.

Like was looking around her room for her cell phone while Rosé was getting all dolled up to go pick up her sister. The blonde was practically living with Lisa. She barely spent time in her own apartment.

Rosé was taking forever, and it was starting to annoy Lisa. "Rosé, so help me god if you're not ready in fifteen minutes... you've been in there for more than an hour!" Lisa had been ready ages ago.

Rosé poked her head out of the bathroom.

"I'll be out in ten!"

Lisa let out an exaggerated sigh and rolled her eyes, leaving the room. Rosé had been insufferable today, bossing Lisa around from the moment she woke up. After weeks of dating Rosé, Lisa had found out that the little devil was quite the bossy firecracker, as submissive as she was in bed, she was the complete opposite out of it. Lisa wasn't sure how she felt about it yet. She was so used to being in charge, in and out of bed, and this new dynamic with Rosé was reminding her of the seventeen-year-old girl who bent and kneeled to Vera's every whim. And as much as she loved Rosé and wanted to give her the world, she didn't want to follow orders, she was lalisa manoban and she was in charge. She had to be.
