You Got Me (JenLisa)

Chapter 26

The night went by quickly. Jennie and Lisa have already hit the floor twice, thrice. Maybe more than a handful. Until they both ran out of breath and until Lisa had to take off her suit because she was feeling extremely hot and sweaty from all the dancing. If jumping and just rotating around like a loose top was considered dancing.

Jennie had to keep up with Lisa's energy all night. First, because she was having fun. It had been too long since she last had this kind of fun. And second, because she felt like it was her fault why Lisa was acting like an overcharged energizer bunny all night.

Lisa had downed two glasses of The Slippery Nipple. Jennie had never touched her drink, except when she took a little sip of it and decided that she couldn't drink it and asked Chahee for the Alabama Slammer, instead. So, Lalisa, bold and adventurous that she always was, had offered chivalrously to show off her alcohol-tolerance level to Jennie and decided to drink Jennie's The Slippery Nipple.

"This is for you. I'll do this for you, Nini!" Lisa announced in front of Jennie, in big, booming voice, because the music inside the Orange have gone wilder and louder.

Jennie tried to stop Lisa but she was late. Before she could grab the glass away from Lisa's clutch, Lisa have already downed it, bottoms up.

"Yeah!" Lisa yelled jubilantly, like she had just won an Olympic medal, much to the amusement of the nearby onlookers from the nearby tables who were egging on and applauding Lisa's bravery and foolishness. After all, The Slippery Nipple was 51% alcohol. Two dosage of it would knock the sobriety out of anyone foolish enough to think they could dodge The Nipple's nasty punch.

But Lisa was still on her feet. And Jennie had to keep a watchful eye on her from their table because the tall blond was hitting the floor again, flapping her long arms in the air, dancing in what looked like an overenthusiastic African war dance to a classic Erasure song, along with the equally wild A-yeon, who was still just wearing a lingerie. They looked like two kids trapped in two adult bodies, leading a pack of equally, if not more, wilder and more enthusiastic drunk crowd, claiming and dominating the party like they had the time of their lives.

"Are you sure you still want to keep that child?" a gentle laughing voice spoke closely on Jennie's ear that took her by surprise.

"Oh, hey!" Jennie greeted Chaeyoung Park after she recognized the pretty bar owner and put her phone away. She was taking a short clip of Lisa's hilarious dance moves.

"Hey back at ya!" Chaeyoung said, smiling kindly and somewhat sounding nervous. "May I?" she then asked, pointing at the empty chair beside Jennie. It was Lisa's.

"Yeah, sure." Jennie nodded and smiled back at Lisa's beautiful bestfriend.

"Thanks! What are you doing here all by yourself, by the way?" Chaeyoung asked after she settled herself on Lisa's empty chair.

"My toes are already sore. And I honestly cannot keep up with Lisa's energy tonight. I mean, look at her?" Jennie said, nodding at the direction of Lisa.

"Yeah, I know what you mean. She's a handful when she's drink more than her limit," Chaeyoung said, shaking her head but was looking amused.

She and Jennie were looking over at Lisa and A-yeon who were already surrounded with the bar crowd. They were both laughing and were having all the fun in the world and Jennie was also laughing, herself.

"She is," Jennie muttered and started smiling like the smitten girl that she was whenever she looks at Lisa. "She's funny, though."

It was the first time that she and Chaeyoung would be this close and talking without Lisa. It was weird. It felt weird, especially after what happened the last time. But it was Chaeyoung Park. Lisa's bestfriend and the bar owner. There was no way Jennie would say no to the opportunity. Plus, Jennie had a feeling that Chaeyoung was as anxious to be this close with her as she was with her. After all, they weren't technically friends. Yet.
