so, do we like each other or not? // JENLISA

Chapter 14

A shiver woke Lisa up. She opened her bleary eyes and groaned, feeling the cold breeze from the totally unnecessary air conditioning tickling against her shoulders. Throwing a hand out, she groped around for the covers and realised they had mostly disappeared from her side of the bed. When she looked over her shoulder, she found them all bundled around Jennie’s greedy body.

"Right," Lisa muttered, grabbing hold of a corner and tugging it back towards her. For a second she thought she'd been successful, until she heard a groan of annoyance from beneath the comforter. It started pulling away from her again, and Lisa snapped.

"Jennie. You have all the covers and I'm freezing."

"Go get a blanket then," Jennie mumbled, her face hidden.

"No," Lisa said, taking hold of the nearest side and tugging harder. She managed to salvage approximately one quarter of the duvet and clung onto it as tight as possible, right before Jennie took it back again.

"You're being a child," Jennie grumbled, sounding marginally more awake now.

"You're the one who insisted on having the fucking A/C on and then took all the covers for herself," Lisa snapped.

"Don't swear this early in the morning. And don't wake me up again."

"It's not that early."

"It's too early for your dramatics," Jennie sighed. A hand slowly appeared from beneath her side of the comforter and grappled for one of the multiple cell phones on her nightstand. Then, "Oh, shit. I'm late."

And just like that, she was up and out of bed. Lisa blinked after her, calling out, "I thought it was too early for swearing?"

Jennie ignored her and disappeared into the bathroom. Lisa used the opportunity to tug the covers towards her and wrap them around her icy body.

Jennie reappeared 20 minutes later, the smell of her perfume following her out of the en suite. As she dug around in the closet for an outfit, Lisa rolled onto her other side so she could watch her.

"Are you going to be out all day?" she asked as Jennie put on the most perfectly fitted black pants she'd had ever seen.

"Yes," Jennie sighed, taking a white shirt off its hanger and pulling it on. Lisa slowly sat upright, bringing the covers up to her chest to cover her naked body, and rested her arms on top of her knees. "Will you be alright on your own?"

"I'll be fine," Lisa said. "I'll probably go do some exploring. When will you be back?"

"Around six, I imagine," Jennie said, grabbing a pair of earrings off the vanity table and walking back to the bed. She sat down on the edge of the mattress and, as she was putting the diamonds in her ears, turned to look at Lisa.

She laughed. "You look very well-fucked, Miss Manoban."

Lisa blushed, lifting a hand to smooth down her knotted hair. "I have no idea why that might be."

Jennie shot her a knowing smile. "I might have an inkling."

Warmth pooled in Lisa's stomach as she had a very vivid flashback of the night before. She wasn't entirely certain she wouldn't spend most of the morning lying in bed with her hand beneath the sheets, just remembering the way that Jennie had moaned her name.
