My Gorgeous Mobster (JenLisa)

Chapter 10: Bedlam

When Jennie woke up, her arms automatically reached for the other side of the bed, trying to find and touch… searching for Lisa. But the blonde was not there. 
Not fully awake yet, she got up from the bed. She saw a note posted on the bathroom mirror. Her face furrowed as she read the note. Lisa was already at the private lounge by the lake with Rosé, and it also said that Jennie could join them if she wanted to. Of course, she would go there!

But before that, she made a phone call. 
“Hello, halbeoji, why is Rosie here in Utopia?”

“Is there something wrong, sonnyeo?” 

She sighed. “No, nothing’s wrong, halbeoji.” 

“So, what’s the matter, child?” 

How could she tell her grandfather that she felt like her sister liked Lisa? Like, really liked Lisa? She didn’t want to think that, but all of Rosie’s actions and the way she interacted with Lisa—her Lisa—led her to that conclusion. First, her sister hadn’t even considered waking Jennie up; she was still asleep when she invited Lisa to go to the lake. Jennie was certain that Lisa wouldn’t ask Rosé to go out. The Thai would wait for her to wake up and wouldn’t leave unless she had to. 

Jennie wouldn’t even consider telling her little sister about the real deal between her and Lisa. Rosé didn’t need to know the terrible mistake their father had committed. That would hurt her. Rosé was closest to their father. Besides, she might pity Jennie, and Jennie didn’t want her baby sister to feel that way about her.

She sighed again.
 
“It’s nothing, halbeoji. I’m just trying to adjust to being with Rosie again. It’s been too long since we spent time together. Please say hi to Eomma and Appa for me.” She bid him goodbye and ended the call. 

She proceeded to make herself presentable and went to the lake. There, she saw the two swimming. Lisa was wearing a rather conservative one-piece dark blue swimsuit, but nonetheless enticing. Her ash-blonde hair was pushed up in a bun, exposing the rest of her neck for Jennie’s eyes to feast upon. On the other hand, her sister was wearing a skimpy two-piece red and white striped bikini. Jennie could feel herself getting worked up. 

The two women looked beautiful together, and she felt her teeth clench in annoyance. They were laughing and splashing water at each other playfully. Finally, Lisa must have sensed Jennie looking at them and turned her way. 

“Jennie!” A bright smile broke across Lisa’s face upon seeing her, almost making Jennie forget her initial irritation.

“Come on, join us,” Lisa invited her. 

Dammit. Because Jennie wanted to go down to the lake as fast as she could, she hadn’t even thought of putting on a swimsuit. She hadn’t really expected them to be swimming so early in the morning; she thought they were just going to hang out. The view at the lake was fantastic, especially next to the Thai blonde, who was now with her taller, sexy, and slender younger sister. The older Korean tried to calm the irritation crawling up her skin. 

“No, you go ahead and swim,” she said, then proceeded to the VIP lounge area overlooking the lake. 

She sat on one of the lounge chairs in the cabana. To be honest, she couldn’t stay put. She considered going back out and just stay at the swimming area to make sure she could see the two with her own eyes. 
A lot of unwanted and unpleasant thoughts came to her mind. What if Lisa started to ignore her? What if, instead of Jennie, the Thai asked Rosé to hang out? With those questions, anger began to build inside her chest, but she tried not to focus on that and held it in. She realized that she might just be overreacting. 

It was perhaps normal, given the history of her and Lisa’s relationship. Jennie also acknowledged that Lisa had assured her that everything was okay. Besides, maybe her sister wouldn’t be joining them for the rest of their stay anyway.
