“Entertain me,” Lisa demands as she hangs upside down on Jisoo’s couch.
Jisoo grabs a brain teaser on her desk and throws it at Lisa. “Here, see if you’re smart enough to figure this out.” She turns back to her computer so that she can watch the film her coach gave her.
Jisoo can hear Lisa fiddling around with the brain teaser. A couple of minutes later, she feels the brain teaser hit the back of her head and it bounces on the desk. She looks at it and saw that Lisa actually solved it. She shouldn’t be surprised though. “Don’t you have work?” Jisoo asks. “Go write your erotica.”
Lisa shoots up from her spot. “I told you that in confidence!”
“It’s just you and me, Mosquito,” Jisoo points out.
“Nice that’s new,” Lisa says, nodding in approval.
“Yeah because like a mosquito you’re a pain in my ass,” Jisoo says. She glances at the calendar application on her computer. “Don’t you have to go grocery shopping?”
“No,” Lisa says as she continues to let the blood flow from her legs to her head. “Speaking of pain in the ass, when’s Bona getting back?”
Jisoo shrugs. “Her flight is coming in tomorrow, but I have an away game so I’ll be gone.”
Lisa sits up. “Aww, you’re more fun when she’s here.”
Jisoo whirls around glares at her. “Excuse me?”
Lisa gives her an innocent smile. “I mean you’re always fun, Chu. So much fun.”
“Thought so,” Jisoo says as she turns back to her laptop. She has been mopey lately. It’s not her fault that Bona and her just barely see each other with their respective careers. She misses Bona.
Her phone chirps with her alarm. Lisa sighs and grabs her orange backpack. “I guess I have to go pick up Asher now. You and Bona are still helping me move into my new house?”
“Yep. Rosé and Suzy said they’ll help too,” Jisoo says. “Lock the door when you leave!”
Lisa throws her a thumbs up before leaving. She drives to Asher’s school, hoping that she won’t see Jennie again. To be honest, Lisa is terrified of Jennie after what happened. She parks her SUV and goes by the fence to wait.
She watches as kids filter out of the school, some running towards their parents, most were walking sluggishly, probably tired from school. As usual, her kid was chipper, running towards her with his arms wide open.
“Incoming!” Asher yells, making several heads turn as he throws himself at his mother.
Lisa staggers back but catches her son. “Nice landing.”
“I thought so too,” Asher says. He drops himself on the floor as Lisa grabs his backpack from the floor. “Are we grocery shopping today?”
“Yep,” Lisa says. “We need to stock up the fridge.”
“Then tacos after?”
“Tacos after,” Lisa confirms.
Asher fist pumps and runs ahead to the car once they cross the street. He hangs in front of the SUV pulling on the door until Lisa opens the door for him.
