Today I Met The Girl I'm Going To Marry | jensoo

Chapter 44

So Jennie and I have been at my apartment for approximately 30 minutes and things with us are slightly awkward.

It's odd because we've experienced a lot together but somehow it feels like the first movie night we had.

I'm not saying that's a bad thing but I'm not quite sure how to act.

I feel rather fidgety and unsure of what is going to happen.

You know what I'd like?

Besides that.

A night free from thinking, analyzing, worrying, second guessing and trying to get in Jennie's head.

That's what I'd like.

A carefree evening where we just have fun.

It seems like forever and a day ago since Jennie and I have had that.

The only problem is, I'm not exactly sure how to accomplish said feat.

I could offer Jennie a drink.

No!

No!

No!

Did I mention a big fat no?

Alcohol, plus me, equals not good.

What if it's just one drink?

No!

Fine, fine, I get the picture.

Sheesh!

My inner ramblings are being very responsible.

Too bad!

Jennie and I are sitting next to each other and she's drumming her fingers against her leg while we wait for our food to arrive.

I nixed Jennie's pizza idea.

Pizza hasn't exactly been my friend lately.

I opted for Chinese instead despite the potential perils chopsticks pose.

Anyway, we've been sitting here for like ten minutes without a lot of talking going on.

Did I mention that things might be a tad weird?

So, yeah, I'm kind of stuck right now and I can't think of one good idea to get this party started.

I know it's not a party, it was just an expression.

"It was a beautiful day today," I state like Jennie couldn't tell that on her own.

Lame.

And possibly the most cliché way to make conversation.

"Not as beautiful as you," Jennie replies.

Ok, ok, I totally made that part up, but it would have been awesome if she did.

"Yeah, it was," is Jennie's actual response.

Bang up job there, Jisoo, bang up job.

I know!

I can tell her a joke.

Jokes are good.

Right?

I mean, they make people laugh and laughing makes people happy and happy people are, well, happy.

Sweet!

Now, I need to find the right joke.

Got it!

A priest, a rabbi and a dog walk into a bar...

I might just be one dumb joke away from getting committed.
