"I think I like you, Lisa."

I'm a fucking coward, I know. I was supposed to tell her the truth but the fear of losing Lisa overpowered me and made me blurt out those words. I really do like her and it's been too long since I felt this way, I don't want to let this go that easily.

What if.... I just don't tell her the truth?

I mean it's not technically lying if I just don't tell her and it doesn't really matter that much. Yeah. That could work. I'll just talk to Jennie about it, I don't think she'll mind. I won't be claiming her work but Lisa doesn't really have to know, right?

You won't be mad if I don't tell you, right Lisa?

Lisa P.O.V.

"Two regular stacks of pancakes, a cup of coffee and a hot chocolate, please." I told the cashier and paid. We're now at a nearby diner getting our breakfast. I am really gonna be late for work now but I don't mind really. I'm not working on a case right now so I guess I can be a little late. When I got our orders I made my way to find the table Jennie got for us. I quickly spotted her in the corner, looking out the window. I slowly approached her, nearly dropping the tray when she looked at me and smiled. 'I will never get tired of that smile' I thought to myself.

"That smells so good. How much was it so I can pay you later?" She asked as I was sitting down across her. I gave her a stack of pancakes and her coffee before answering, "It's my treat, remember? I hope you don't get mad at me for laughing at yo-" 

Groooooooooooooowl~ 

My stomach growled. A little louder than hers was. 

It was her turn to laugh. She laughed so hard she was basically tearing up. I got embarrassed at first but hearing her heavenly laugh made me thankful it happened. It was everything I imagined it would be and so much more. It made my soul leave my body for a solid five seconds. "I guess I wasn't the only one who needed this breakfast. Let's eat?" she said, calming down after her fit of laughter but still flashing her gummy smile. I melted.

While eating we just talked about anything and everything. I tried to make her laugh every now and then because, well, I wanted to hear her laugh again. I want to keep her happy. I want to see her smile. I am so drawn to her I don't even know why. We are total opposites in some things: She loves dogs and I love cats, I love going out and she loves staying in, she loves coffee and I don't, I'm tall and she's short—

I mentally laughed at the last part and hoped that she didn't notice.

We finished eating and went to the parking lot. I wanted to drive her home but I was REALLY late and she has her own car anyway.

"Thank you for the treat, Lisa. I had fun and I hope I can return the favor some day." Jennie said while showing me her gummy smile. I want to protect that smile and make sure it doesn't leave her face. "I had fun too, Jennie. Maybe if we meet again, you can." I smiled back.

I want to see her again soon. I want to know her more. Is it okay? I mean, I just want us to be friends. Good friends. Close friends? I mean it makes sense that I want to be close to her if I like her sister, right?

"So I guess I should go now. You have work too and you're very late."

"Don't worry. I'm great at my job so they won't fire me for being late."

"Whatever you say, Manoban. Bye!"

"Wait! Y-you should get my number!" Did I fucking stutter?? Great job, brain.

She raised her brow, "What?"

"I mean, you should have my number since I'm a cop and I c-can help you in an emergency."

Real smooth, Lisa.

"Really? Hmmm let me think about that..." she teased me then smiled right after. Then she put something in my hand, "Here's my number since I'm a doctor and I can help YOU in an emergency, too" she gave me her card and got in her car afterwards. "Be sure to text me within the day, Manoban!" She shouted before driving away, leaving me stunned with a stupid smile plastered on my face.

Damn that woman and her effect on me....
