" And then she went and actually bought the floral shorts! She thought it actually looked good on her" Jennie exclaimed, laughing so hard she had to lean on the coffee table in front of her to steady herself.

" She trusts you too much! I would never have fallen for that in a million years!" Lisa said, laughing as hard, if not harder, than Jennie was.

It had been two hours since the bottle of tequila was brought down from the pantry shelf. And while they had told themselves they would only take one shot each, the bottle was now almost empty and the two were clearly not letting up. Jennie shook her head.

" Oh please, you'd buy a fisherman's boots if I told you it'd make you sexy" She said, grinning and wiping tears of laughter from her eyes. Lisa laughed even harder.

" I'm not stupid to think boots will actually make me look sexy" She said indignantly.

" Beside, I'm already sexy the way I am" the alcohol was clearly boosting up her confidence and, in turn, her cockiness. Jennie bent down and filled up their shot glasses again. Raising both of them and handing Lisa her share, she nodded.

" That you are, my dear. That you are" Jennie agreed. She raised her shot glass higher.

" To us and our unwavering sex appeal" she said. Lisa chuckled and clinked her glass with Jennie's.

" Let's drink to that" She utter. They downed the tequila and leaned back on the couch, both sighing at the same time. They'd been laughing for a while now and both of them were feeling tired. After a few moments of silence, Jennie spoke up.

" I'm betting all the money in my pocket that you didn't think you'd be able to have this much fun in your entire lifetime." She teased her. Lisa let out a chuckle and turned to look at the latter, her elbow propped on the back of the couch, her hand cupping her head.

" You are quiet a little fun box, aren't you?" She replied, smiling at Jennie. The latter turned and gave a slight tilt of the head as if bowing.

" Thank you, thank you. I do pride myself in being an exciting force of nature." Lisa smiled even wider and couldn't help but study Jennie once again, as she so often seems to do it in the past 16 hours.

A tinge of red was already evident on her cheeks, giving Jennie a glowing look. The latter still had on her black dress from earlier, but one side of the strap was loosely hanging on the edge of her shoulder and was in danger of falling to the side. She let her free hand travel to the strap and very gently, secured it back into place. Lisa's touched on Jennie's shoulder caused a tinge somewhere in the pit of her stomach but Jennie did her best not to show that she was affected by it. As Lisa retracted her hands from Jennie's shoulder back to her lap, Jennie raised an eyebrow at her.

" Have I had something on my face since last night? Because you keep on having these moments where you just stare at me and I can't seem to read the expression on your face." Jennie uttered. Lisa shook her head.

" Nope. You just look really pretty. Actually, your really beautiful. Did you know that?" Lisa asked. Jennie had a visible smile on her face as she raised her eyebrows at Lisa.

" I've probably been told that one or two times" She joked. Lisa's face grew serious.

" Well people should say it to you more often. You deserve to hear it every minute." Lisa told to Jennie. She gulped.

IThe look on Lisa's face was not something she'd encountered for the past hours that they've been together. She'd seen her be anxious, embarrassed, thankful, apologetic, happy and sad but this was.. she couldn't quite read it. Was it desire? It seemed more than that.
