: the one when exes see each other again

a/n: this is an excerpt of a fic i wrote for another ship.

p.s. ctto of the photo edit attached.

.....

it looks like everything went back to black once more. the sound of her name tingles into every nerve inside my body, how much more if i'm being graced by the curves of her face once more.

once more.

i tried to bury every inch of the memory, but i know it's going to stay for a while from now on. it came back like a rapid stream of the rivers or a shock of current hitting every corners of my soul.

i heard her name, once more.

"lisa?" dara tried to shake me off from my reverie. "are you okay?"

"i-i-look i'm sorry, i was thinking about something else." i gulped to relax myself, but honestly it didn't help.

"oh okay, but yeah, jennie will somehow supervise you while we're away. she knows every detail and don't worry, she's a little creative as well so i'm pretty sure you guys will get along."

nothing, i heard nothing. all i hear is the beat of my heart trying to pace itself down.

but why am i like this? i shouldn't be, right?

i still haven't seen her and she's already making me feel this way, same old jennie.

...

i'm lalisa manoban, lisa to lessen the burden. i'm a 26 year-old up and rising wedding coordinator in the metro. it's obvious that life has been good to me basing on my career, but on the contrary, it's down right making me suffer on finding the perfect one for me.

i have zero luck on love. you see, i'm a lesbian, a femme in particular. though our community is slowly being accepted in the society, it's still really hard for people like us to find the right person based on our preference. it's hard to find the right person who you can trust and cherish at the same time.

also, my past experience on love isn't helping. someone broke my beautiful perspective on love and relationships.

jennie kim.

how could i ever forget such beautiful but deadly name?

and what better way to make this scenario happier than having to meet jennie after many years with that unsure closure?

it has been years i haven't talked and seen her. things were left unsaid. lies could have been thrown. a heart was broken.

one was left with all these questions.

and with luck being on my side and playing with me, i have her sister-in-law as my new client. worse? I have to somehow work with jennie all through this planning.

i'm going to see jennie again after all these years.

all i know is that my heart isn't at its calmness right now.
