This One's For You ☆ JENLISA

Strawberries and Cigarettes

I saw you outside my window one night with your leather jacket and black pants. "Uhm miss, excuse me but who are you? It's already night time and you're creeping me out." I said then took a step back. You made your way to me and asked bravely if I have a lighter for you to light up your cigarette. Wow. She doesn't look like a bad girl tho. We talked then suddenly you asked me to hang out with you for awhile. My parents would be mad but, one time doing it won't hurt, does it?

You walked me to the park. Asked me things about me and made me laugh to all of your silly jokes. We stopped laughing and when I glanced at you, I saw you looking at me with a smile on your lips. I was startled when you suddenly pulled my waist then locked our lips together. At first I was shocked. I mean, who wouldn't?! The stranger you met just for an hour, now kissing you?! I'm panicking but I feel myself already enjoying the kiss. Ugh. Thank you, self!!

After a few months of knowing each other, you finally asked me to be your girlfriend! It wasn't an expensive-like proposal but, hey! Whatever you do, I still think you're the sweetest! We're inside your car, you held my hand then asked me if I wanna be your girlfriend. Who am I to say no to you?! "You Monkey! What took you so long? Of course yes!" I yelled in your face then you pulled me into a hug. You whispered something that made me widen my eyes. "Finally.. after two years of wanting to be with you, you're finally mine, Jennie." You told me you were at the same class with me back when we were still at college, you adored me even from afar and you finally got the courage to introduce yourself to me that night we first met. I smiled then burried my face more into your chest. I just loving hugging you like this.

You weren't replying for almost a week now. I decided to go to your apartment to see if I'd find you there but instead, I found nothing. Where are you? I lied down to my bed all I could think was you. These pillows and sheets smells like you.. even my clothes. I miss you more and more... I hopped in my car to go and have some drinks. Maybe a few wouldn't hurt, right? But then I saw you right at the counter of the bar, making out with other woman. What is this? Is this the reason why you aren't contacting me? I guess you're back at your games..

I let you breathe, I gave you space. It's been two months since that night at the bar. It hurts but there's nothing I can do. Sometimes I just wanna rip my heart out of my chest cause it won't stop from hurting. I hated cigarette smokes even before but it made me hate it much more cause it reminds me of you. I am currently here at a convenient shop when a familiar scent run through my nose. Strawberry.. nah! Stop it, Jennie. Just move on! I turned around, headed to the exit wanting to leave the place immediately when an arm pulled me and buried my head to that person's chest. I looked up to know who it is when I saw you. You freakin' Monkey! I hugged you even more which made you chuckle while crying. "I'm sorry baby for being such a jerk. Let me in in your heart again. Please. I won't do it again." Instead of giving you a proper answer, I clung my arms into your neck then claimed your lips.

I just got home from work and I'm so tired. I lied on my bed when you carried me in a bridal style then walked to our car. "Excuse me but, where are you taking me? I'm tired babyyyy." I whined. "We're driving the night." Then you gave me your ever so sweet smile that eventually made me give in to whatever you want. Your entire being is my weakness, you know? We're both singing our hearts out while we're on our way to nowhere. I looked at you while you're driving, I smiled when I remembered our past. You fooled me once, but I'd gladly be a fool over and over again if it's for you. You turned your head to my side and smiled. Fuck, after five years of being with you, you still make my heart race! You stopped the car, I looked around and found that we're here at the shore. "Let's walk around, love." You held my hand and intertwined it with yours. Ahh.. this feels so good. Having you here with me, everything feels so good. I gasped when I saw you took out a box from your pocket. What the hell are you doing?! Oh my god. "Love, I know I made alot of mistakes but you still stayed with me. I appreciate your whole being and I thank the heavens above for giving me such an amazing person like you. Here, infront of you, is a woman who promises to make you smile in every day of our lives. And also, here infront of you, I'm asking you to be my forever partner. So... Jennie Kim, would you want to change your surname to Manoban? Will you marry me, baby?" All through out your speech, I was ugly crying. I held your nape and gently kissed you. "YES, YOU DORK! A MILLION YES!!! I LOVE YOU!!"

I guess I'll be sticking with a strawberry scent with a smell of cigarette with you forever. And I won't effin' regret it.
