Kiss Me

Chapter 7: In the Still of the Night

The chirping birds woke Jennie up and she snuggled closer to the body beside her, seeking for warmth, as the cold breeze hit her uncovered arms. Long arms instantly wrapped around her body, giving her warmth. Jennie smiled and fell back to sleep.

“Nini?” Her sleep was once again interrupted by Lisa's voice.

“A minute, please,” she groggily answered, not opening her eyes.

“Baby wake up..” Lisa sweetly said and kissed her forehead.

“Baby one minute,” she answered again and pulled Lisa closer to her, their bodies pressed against each other.

“Baby it’s already nine in the morning.” Lisa rubbed Jennie's back. “And it’s a really nice day to be sleeping inside,” she added.

“Liliii~” knowing that her girlfriend won’t stop bugging her, Jennie dejectedly opened her eyes.

“Good morning,” Lisa greeted with a full bright smile.

“You’re so cute,” Jennie said and kissed Lisa on the lips.

“Go wash up now, we have to go somewhere.” Lisa instructed and squeezed her butt, making Jennie yelp in surprise.
Lisa's laugh filled the room.

“Lili, what the hell?” Jennie playfully smacked Lisa's arm, slightly pushing the girl away.

“Okay, okay. Hurry up already.” Lisa said and stood up from the mattress. She extended an arm to Jennie, pulling the girl to get up.

“Where are the others?” Jennie asked when her eyes landed on the empty mattresses.

“Beach.” Lisa answered and gave Jennie a towel and clean clothes.

“You went through my luggage?” Jennie's eyes widened when she saw her things.

“Yeah, why?”

“Did you—oh never mind.”

After washing up and eating breakfast, Jennie found herself being dragged by her girlfriend to God knows where. She was too lazy to protest so she just let Lisa drag her around. They went into the back of the house and into the woods until a hill came into view. Lisa happily grinned at her as she told Jennie how she came across the hill this morning.

“Let’s go..” Lisa again pulled her towards the foot of the hill.

“Baby, I’m tired. Can we go back now please?” Jennie complained as she fanned herself with her free hand.

“I’m sorry, just a little bit more, please?” Lisa stopped and faced her then fixed her hair that had been sticking out because of her sweat.

“Fine,” Jennie said as they started walking again.

They climbed the hill with Lisa dragging Jennie, not letting go of her hand as they struggled to climb the top.

After fifteen minutes of struggle, a plane on top of the hill came into view with a lone tree and the coasts of the nearby places as its backdrop. Lisa smiled contentedly and looked beside her. Jennie, however, doesn’t seem to mind the beautiful view the hill offered as she closed her eyes and leaned her head onto Lisa's shoulder.

“Tired?” Lisa asked and wrapped her arm around Jennie's waist reflexively.

Jennie nodded against Lisa's shoulder.

“Let’s sit under the tree so we won’t get sunburns.” Lisa continued walking, pulling Jennie with her.

She took off her backpack and took a blanket from it as soon as they reached the tree. She spread it below the shade of the tree, facing the coast, and then beckoned Jennie to lie down as soon as she was finished.
