Girlfriend For Rent

Meeting Her (II)

Lisa's POV

So I found out that the girl who hyped me up all night's name is Jennie. I offered to pick her up from her place, but she rejected. She was the first one to ever reject my request.

I could not sleep well at all since you know, she's my final hunts.

I arrived at the cafe very early because I could not sleep anyway and ordered my choco drink.

I was lost in my thought when I heard murmurs from people at the other tables. My eyes then move up to meet a pair of cat eyes that also stared directly into my eyes.

'Is she really going to be my girlfriend?'

She was wearing Chanel clothings that embraced her body shape so well. Her revealing shoulder could easily give heart attacks to men in the whole town. However, her aura, everything about her screamed class, elegance, and pride.

"Hi girlfriend." I said. Yes, Lisa, act cool, ACT COOL! Wait why was she looking me like that? Was she checking me out? 

"em ... h-hi" Why was she stuttering? Was she scared? Was I too direct or did I say something wrong? Act cool, Lisa, you can do it!

"let's go to our seat, people are staring baby." I unknowingly whispered to her ear. They should know that this lady over here belonged to me, only me. At least for today.

'What is wrong with me?'

----

"So, let us properly introduce ourselves." She said with a stern voice. Maybe she wasn't interested in me. It was like she's coming here for a business.

"Hi, my name is Jennie, Jennie Kim." She initiated.

"Okay, hi, my name is Lisa. Just Lisa." I said out of courtesy in response.

"Alright, Just Lisa. Let's make our deal quick so we both could have a proper breakfast." Deal? Oh right, the fake girlfriend rental thing. Why did I forget that? Focus! Wait what did she call me?

"Ms. Kim. My name is Lisa. Not "just" Lisa." I clarified. She wanted to talk business, fine, I would just follow her act.

I didn't want to tell her my full name. You will know the reason soon. Promise.

She asked me several questions and she seemed to be a very careful person but a bit insecure. It was funny though that she thought I could read mind when her face wrote all her thoughts on it.

Then I handed to her the rules the company imposed to which I made some changes.

"Are you a princess?" She asked right after reading all those rules. I knew the rules are quite ... emmmm ... hard but I didn't think it was impossible to follow.

"No." I answered.

"Oh wait! Oh my god! are you a celebrity?" I really wondered what really went on in her mind.

"No." I then leaned closer and whispered: "From now, I am your girlfriend."

Yeah Lisa, you're the top listed, show her what you got!

She told me she also wanted to make some rules, which I thought was fair enough since I also made some.

She took sometimes to think and write down all the rules that seemed to came to her mind at the time with a earnest look on her face. With her taking her time, I also took mine to write down some notes.

Once she finished, she handed the napkin to me and waited for my reaction to her rules.

"Don't you afraid you'd fall for me?" I asked her a with smirk. I mean ... look at me, who wouldn't want to like me?

"I should be the one saying that. You can't find such a girl like me." She replied with a smirk back. That was kinda true as well. So I diverted my eyes from the paper and looked at her directly in the eyes because I thought she had something that I had been searching for in my whole life.

"If you don't steal my heart, I won't steal yours." A thought came to my head and I unconsciously said it in a tiny voice one couldn't hear clearly.

We went through a few more rules which I did not think was difficult for me to handle.

However, when she confidently said she's straight, a part of me feels like a empty space.

We restarted our self-introduction to get to know more about each other, but to be honest, most of the time, when I did it, the renters would talk all about themselves while I just took notes since I did not bother much to even tell a piece of information about me.

'Why is it different with her?' I did not know as well. Maybe I would like to be her friend?

Oh I also told her about the Trial Period thing. It did not even exist but it was a newly added incentive, but she did not need to know, right?

A part of me really wished she would never reject me after the Trial Period. And all of my thoughts were in a halt, every negative thought seemed to stop when I heard her say:

"you're saying you can still reject me after all these talk?" Did a sad voice come with that statement?

"Do you think I'd let you go easily baby?" I said while caressing her cheeks looking straight through her eyes. A tinge of red appeared on her cheeks since she could not hide as much as me.

"Em... errrr I-I don't know." She said.

"I won't let you loose that easily Nini."

Why? Maybe because I had finally found the best material for my project. Lisa, you're a damn lucky girl.
