THE AVENGED OF LALISA MANOBAN

22 - FEELING'S?

Lisa's POV...

Night

We're currently on the sofa, and Dad's already asleep because he has to go to the farm early tomorrow.

"What do you want to watch?" I asked Jen, who's currently picking from the food I laid out on the table.

I bought a lot of food, just in case we get hungry, but it seems like something's missing.

Wait...

Soft drinks?

Does she even drink those?

But those are bad for your health...

And the food I bought is junk food anyway...

Ugh...

Juice it is.

"Jen, stay here, okay? I'll just go to the store to buy some juice. You pick what we'll watch," I told her. I saw her nod and smile, so I immediately went out.

Oh right, we only use DVDs because we don't have signal or Wi-Fi here. But it's okay, Sul bought a lot of new DVDs for our movie marathon. We've already watched 13, and he bought 30 new ones. Hehe, I took them without asking. He can deal with it.

When I got to the store, I saw they were about to close, so I quickly went over.

"Hello Aling Berna can i loan again? Hehe," I said to Aling Berna, the store owner.

"Oh, it's already late. What do you need, Lisa?" she said. So I told her I needed juice and bought a lot of it.

"Thank you, Aling Berna. Papa will pay for this, okay? Hehe," I said and went back home. But I stopped by downstairs to make the juice. I got some ice from the fridge and a muddler from the container near the plates and started making the juice.

After that, I got two glasses and went upstairs.

As I went up, I heard Jen laughing.

"Come here, Lisa. Look how cute," she said to me.

It turned out she was watching Minions.

I put the juice on the table and sat on the floor. It's more comfortable sitting on the floor.

I felt her come closer and sit on my lap. She even took my hand and hugged me, then continued watching.

"Ah, J-Jen," I said.

It's awkward because we're like a couple. We're not.

"Please, I'm cold," Jen said, trying to be cute. So I just let her.

"Ah, Jen, I'm sorry, okay? I left without you. I feel guilty because you're my guest, and I just left you alone. I'm really sorry," I apologized.

She looked at me and smiled.

"It's okay. You always go with that leech," she said. But I didn't hear the rest of what she said because she mumbled it.

"Why don't you go with them? They seem fun to be with," I asked, confused.

"I don't like them. I mean, it's just... It's annoying.It ruin my day," she said, looking back at the movie. She then grabbed some chips and ate them.

I didn't understand what she was saying.

What ruins her day?

Does she think I ruin her day?

"J-Jen, do I ruin your day?" I asked her sadly. She quickly looked at me.

"What? Of course not. I'm talking about Irene!" she said angrily, rolling her eyes. I laughed.

Why are they so angry at each other?

"Why are you so mad at her? She's not doing anything to you," I said to her, squeezing her cheek. She's so cute.

"Because she's taking what's mine," she said.

Wait, Irene's a thief? I thought she was already rich. Why would she take anything?

"What is she taking from you?" I asked.

"It's none of your business. Just watch the movie," she said, turning back to the movie. She adjusted her position, took my hand again, and hugged me. I hugged her back tightly and smiled.

We just watched the movie, and she's still in the same position. While we were watching, Jen fed me because my hand was wrapped around her.

------

"You're awake, come on, have some coffee," I said to Jen, who was approaching me.

"I'll just make you some coffee, just sit there," I told her.

While I was making coffee, I felt someone hug me, and I knew it was Jen. Dad had already left.

"J-Jen," I said nervously because she was pressing her face against my neck and sniffing it.

"You smell so good, Lisa," she said, pulling away from the hug. I turned to face her.

Jen---

She hugged me again and buried her face in my neck.

"So fragrant," she murmured, so I pushed her away.

"What are you doing, Jen?" I asked her, looking around, worried someone might see us.

When I looked at her, I saw that she was hurt, sad, and disappointed.

"S-sorry, maybe someone will see us, what will they---" I couldn't finish my sentence because I felt something on my lips.

Wait.

It's Jen.

Jen kissed me.

What the...

Jen is kissing me, but I'm not kissing her back.

Wait.

This is my first kiss.

And she just stole it.

But it's okay, it's her.

Wait.

Just kidding.

We're not that weak.

We've moved on.

Jen pulled away from the kiss and looked at me.

"I-I like you, Lisa," she said, looking into my eyes.

But I couldn't say anything.

I just stood there, looking at her.

I wanted to speak, but nothing came out of my mouth.

"Lisa?" she called out to me, noticing that I was just staring blankly.

"Lisa?

Are you okay?

Lisa?"

Then I felt a sharp pain on my cheek, so I immediately touched it.

"Ouch, that hurts.

Ouch, why did you hit me?" I asked her.

"It's your fault, you wouldn't talk," she said.

"W-what did you say earlier?" I asked her.

"I like you, Lisa, I like you," she said seriously.

I didn't know if I should be happy or not.

Part of me was happy because she liked me. I thought I had moved on, maybe I had, but when she came here, everything came back. It seems like I'm falling for her again.

And another part of me wasn't happy because I knew she was still with Taehyung. She only came here to apologize and take a vacation.

"How? Why? You're just joking, right?" I asked her.

"I'm not, I'm serious about you, Lisa, about my feelings for you," she said.

"Since when?" I asked.

"Since you left. I don't know, but I miss you so much, and I get angry when you're with someone else. I want to get mad when you're with someone else, but I know I have no right because you don't like me anymore, and we're not together," she said sadly, looking down.

I smiled.

I took her face in my hands and turned her towards me, and we stared at each other.

"I-I like you too, and you don't know how happy I am with what you're saying right now, but what about your boyfriend?" I said, and I saw that she hesitated.

"J-Jen?" I said nervously, wondering if she was having second thoughts about liking me.

"I'll handle that, Lisa, just be with me," she said, smiling. So I hugged her.

"So you're my girlfriend now?" I asked.

"No! Court me first, you idiot," she said.

"Okay, fine," I said, releasing her from the hug.

"Don't go near that Irene, okay? My head gets hot when I see you two together," she said angrily.

So I laughed.

So she's the one he was talking about last night.

"But she's my friend, of course I'll approach her," I said with a pout.

"Go ahead, go to your Irene," she shouted and was about to leave when I grabbed her hand.

"Please, I don't like Irene, she's just my friend, and I like you, only you," I said, kissing her lips.

"That's right," she said, rolling her eyes.

"Okay, go sit down, I'll just make some coffee," I said, and she nodded.
