Meet Me When I'm Asleep

Chapter 27 - The Authors

Lisa's POV

For the past two hours after eating, we've done nothing but bike around the city and take a couple of minutes to rest in between. Everyone else was probably in deep slumber already while I didn't even feel tired at all. Rosé called me that she'll be at Irene to wait for me and probably she was snoring now.

It's already late but i was still so energized and I could go on and on for hours.

"I think the guards have stopped looking for us," Jennie said, hoping back on her bike as we looked for a new place to go. "We can just sneak the bikes back in there before morning and no one would even notice."

I shook my head and chuckled. "You know what, Jennie? You don't look like the mischievous type at all."

"What do I look like then?" she asked, her eyes glimmering in wonder.

I leisurely biked beside her in the middle of the road while glancing at her from time to time. "You look like a precious princess who's been living within the four walls of her castle her whole life, and then finally, you get the opportunity to escape and actually live for the very first time."

"Wow," she brought her feet to the ground, stopping the bicycle from moving. "That's not normally how people would describe me."

"Really? What do they usually say?"

Jennie shrugged. "They say I seem shy and innocent."

"Ha," I snickered, pulling my hat lower to cover my ears. It was starting to get really cold. "I've only known you for two days and I already highly doubt that."

"How so?"

"Well, I'm positive you're not shy at all," I smirked. "By the way you talked to me and approached me for the first time, including all the things you told me, I gotta say you've got some balls. . .for a lack of a better term. And for the innocent part, that's one thing I have yet to discover."

I watched in amusement as her cheeks turned from pale to pink. She blushed and stepped back onto the pedal. "Sometimes you just have to go for what your heart tells you to do, no matter what the ending may be."

"What is our ending, then?" I probed.

"Oh, Lisa," she smiled, coaxing me to follow her with my bike. "We've only just begun."

We rode our bikes all the way to the end of a street we didn't even recognize. She got what she wanted. We did get lost in the city, and I wasn't even complaining one bit.

I had to question myself several times why I was doing this. I liked girls, but as far as i know i was never this friendly. I believe wasn't the type who would just go with any girl who'd throw herself at me. But Jennie was different. Not that she threw herself at me or anything, but she was really forward in a way that was making me want more without even knowing exactly why.

I kept telling myself that I just met her two nights ago, and now I'm roaming around the city with her at five in the morning.

"What are you thinking of doing this time?" I asked as Jennie parked her bicycle in front of a tall building.

"Come with me and you'll see," she smiled, holding out her hand to me.

I didn't even hesitate to take her hand in mine and see where she was going to take me. I even wiped my hands in my pants because I felt like it was getting really sweaty. As of this moment, I had no idea what was happening anymore.

I felt my body shudder the moment our hands touched. I pulled back for a second, but grasped her hand tightly before she could even react. Her smile widened as she pulled me behind her back.
