"Don't act like you don't know. Since when did you become a bird-brain?" With a lazy tone, Lisa continued talking to Jupiter.
Jennie laughed inaudibly beside her sudden indifferent wife, afraid she'd totally lash out on her. The night is still young and pretty to spoil and quarrel. So she fixed herself and tried to be the elegant and formal lady that she is.
"I'd be lying if I tell you I don't. Seeing her again made me happy. She looked great." Jennie, without her knowledge, aggravated the situation more, not to mention her cheeky smile and her dreamy eyes.
"Then get back with her. She'd definitely love that." Lisa then turned her cold gaze to her high at haze wife.
"Why would I? I already have a wife." Jennie melted the cold gaze with her gummy smile, looking right through Lisa's eyes with her assuring ones.
Lisa wanted to believe her wife but afraid her lovesick mind was just playing dumb games with her, so, she disregarded the truth in Jennie's eyes that could have washed away her uncertainties.
"You won't have, after the deal. Is that why you wanted to end this quick?" Sorrow masked Lisa's face with the thought of Chaennie together, loving each other like there's no tomorrow, against all odds like they used to be.
"Getting back with the possible pain? Reviving the someone I never thought I could be, just to keep her with me? It's too difficult to even imagine. I have no energy left for going back at all of it again." Jennie turned her eyes again on the moon with a contented smile. But relief never came to yo paranoid girl Lisa.
"But you still love her. Is it not enough to try again?" Lisa was aware she's rubbing salt to her own wounds but one thing she's after here, Jennie's happiness.
"I'm already fine just by seeing her looking well. As for love, I think that's just how it works. It don't die." Jennie smiled meeting her wife's worried gaze.
"Are you afraid you'd be hurt again?" As usual, without thinking, Lisa inquired not convinced with her wife's comforting smile.
"I was once. But you came." Jennie smiled genuinely at her wife with her heart thumping loud, close to jumping off the bridge.
"What's good with being safe, we'll all die?" Jennie added cocking her head at her wife, trying to make her remember her logic."I'd rather die falling than die doing nothing at all."
Jennie looked normal on the outside, the very opposite of Lisa. Lisa whose existence was evidently shookt from her high expectations falling short then soaring high up again.
"But then to fall is not our choice." Jennie ended her riddles with another riddle, smile never leaving her beautiful face.
But Lisa's face was squeezed as fuck, as if her wife was talking to her in Boombayah language.
"Let's go home." Jennie didn't wait for Lisa's not coming reply and reached for her puzzled wife's hand.
Walking ahead, she hid the heavy warmth on her face and her crazy beating heart from her wife.
And Lisa followed through, senseless.
