Eyes Don't Lie ✩ Jenna Ortega (G!P)

| Y/N's POV |
(not proofread)

I was awoken at midnight by the baby's kicking. I groaned as I sat up in bed. Daisy was lying on Jenna's side of the bed, her nose tucked under the girl's pillow. I sighed to myself - I did the right thing for putting Jenna in her place but I still obviously missed her, you know?

I reluctantly stood up and began to walk downstairs, the baby now having a craving for pizza right now. I stepped foot in the living room to see Jenna awake, the glow of the tv shining on her pale face. She sat with her chin on top of her knee, her eyes solely focused on it until my figure came into her view.

"Did I wake you?" Jenna's voice was hoarse, raspy to the core. I could tell she cried a lot.

"No. The baby was kicking and now we're craving pizza." I nodded with a tight lipped expression, preparing to move but Jenna stood up. "Yes?"

"I'm sorry." She sighed, I slightly rolled my eyes. "I know saying those words mean nothing unless I do something about it."

"You're right." I hummed, crossing my arms.

"Baby, I am so so sorry. I should've communicated better with you. I was just so fucking exhausted. It's really not an excuse but it's the truth." Jenna reached out for my hand, I let her as our fingers intertwined. "You do not need to forgive me, I don't deserve it. But let me show you how sorry I am, okay? I promise I'll do better."

"Really?" I asked, tilting my head a little.

Jenna nodded. "Absolutely." She sniffled and cleared her throat. "How about I make you that pizza and you go pick a movie that we can fall asleep too, yeah?"

I smiled a little as I swayed in thought. "I like that idea." Jenna smiled in relief, going to the kitchen but I pulled on her hand, kissing her lips softly. "I love you, but if you ever pull some shit like that again, I'll kill you."

"Yes ma'am." Her eyes were wide with alert yet chuckled alongside me. I let her hand go as she walked into the kitchen. "I love you more, by the way."

"I know." I muttered with a smile, sitting on the couch and picking a movie out for us.

—————

"Ain't she just so cute?" I could only assume it was Lloyd's voice ringing through my head. Jenna and I fell asleep pretty fast last night about halfway through the movie we watched.

My eyes fluttered open to see Lloyd and Jenna hovering over me. "Huh?" I mumbled incoherently.

"Morning, my love." Jenna crouched down to my level, kissing my forehead. I looked over to see Banjo in Lloyd's arms and Daisy sitting beside me where I lay on the couch. "You sleep okay?"

"For the most part." I grunted as I sat up with the help of my girlfriend. "What's going on?"

"Nothing, baby. I'm making amends with Daisy here, gonna take her for a walk. I was wondering if you'd want to come... it could be a cute little date. With Starbucks?" Jenna raised a brow when my interest was piqued.

"I'd love to." I ran my hand over Daisy's head, scratching behind her ears as she thumped her tail against the rug happily. "And I'm glad you're being nice to Daisy again."

"Yeah, she's a good girl." Jenna kissed her nose, rubbing her belly. Daisy barked with joy. "Plus I need to give my wife more attention so this little date can be a start."

"Mm, as long as I'm not replaced with Daisy, we'll be just fine." I reassured. Lloyd kissed my forehead when he walked by, sitting on the ground with Banjo, playing with his toys with him.

"No one could ever take your place. Not even a cute Doberman." Jenna smiled teasingly, both of us glancing at Daisy whose head was tilted, her tongue sloppily sticking out with a lopsided grin.

"A very cute Doberman!" I exclaimed in a baby voice, grabbing Daisy's collar and pulling her towards me, scratching her head.

"Okay, okay. Daisy, up. To the door." Jenna demanded softly, Daisy following instructions immediately as she waited patiently by the door. "Let's go, Cara Mia, I'll help you get dressed."

—————

The date was one of the best we've had in a while. It certainly wasn't much but it always felt enough when I was with Jenna. The only reason Daisy was allowed inside Starbucks was because she was a service dog. Or more like a protective dog.

She was like a bodyguard to us and looked intimidating to a lot of people. Deep down, we both knew Daisy was just a sweetheart but would seriously hurt anyone who tried to do something bad to us.

Jenna blabbed on and on about her working experiences with Tim again. I would watch her with a soft smile, sipping the lemonade refresher in my hand. These moments were definitely some of my favorites.

We say a worker approach us with a kind smile. "We thought Daisy here might like a pup cup." She bent over a little, holding the small cup towards Daisy. Daisy did a little sniff test before dipping her tongue in it, scooping up the treat in her mouth with ease.

"She likes it. Thank you." Jenna chuckled, patting Daisy's back as she licked the worker's hand.

"Anytime." The worker laughed, returning back to work. I looked at Jenna who was giving Daisy belly rubs.

"Baby?" She immediately looked at me when I called for her. "Can we go home and take a nap together?" I knew Jenna needed more sleep and I was deeply craving her cuddles as well so it sounded like the perfect idea.

Her face lit up. "I would love to." She stood up, throwing away her's and I trash. Jenna grabbed Daisy's leash while holding her hand out for me. I happily grabbed it, allowing her to spin me into her side, her lips pressing against the side of my head.

She made sure to get Daisy in the car first so she could pay attention to me and helping me get in the car safely. Jenna adjusted my seat, buckling my seatbelt for me as well as turning on the AC for me since I have constant temperature swings.

"Ready, beautiful?" She asked, adjusting her mirrors and looking at me with those eyes.

"Always. I'm tired." I chuckled and leaned over, kissing her lips softly as she let me play whatever songs I want on the way home.

When we did get home, Daisy joined Lloyd in his room so Jenna and I could take the most peaceful nap of our lives. I never felt more comfortable or safe in my life.
