Femme fatale - JENLISA

CHAPITRE 23 - PROCHE

UNKNOWN'S POV

"How long?"

"How long what?" 

"How much longer do we have to play this game?" he asked me with pleaded eyes. He may have looked strong on the outside, but he wasn't. The more time passed, the weaker he became.  I knew he'd give up right away. He was never a badass. For months he was consumed by the sadness and anger that made him powerful, but it didn't last. Even though I felt like yelling at him, I knew it was useful because it wasn't his fault.

"Liars must be punished. So we will not stop until she apologizes and regrets everything she's done," I suddenly got up from my chair and put away an old picture whose borders were turning brown. I gently placed it in a box of cookies and put it in the drawer. I was about to leave the room but he stopped me by saying something I refused to listen to.

"But what if she's already done it? I think she's really in love," 

Turning with an abrupt movement, I found myself facing him, holding his shirt collar firmly and looking him straight in the eyes. He was suddenly frightened and regretted in the moment what he had just said.

"Don't even say it again and even it's the case, I don't care. Got it?"

"Yes," he sighed and looked at his shoes before I released him and left the room which held so many memories. When the fresh air finally came to fondle my face, I allowed myself to close my eyes and take a deep breath before continuing on my way. With a determined step, my fists clenched in my pockets, I knew I was getting close to what I wanted.

We'll meet soon, Jennie. 

JENNIE'S POV

One night at Lisa's allowed me to sleep peacefully, which I haven't had in a few weeks. Despite the long hot shower, I could still smell her perfume soaking into my skin. It was as if I belonged to her wherever I went, I felt like she was always with me. The images of our naughty session in her office made me smile. We behaved like teens who had just acquired a taste for sex. 

I didn't realize that my smile was creepy to the employees who were passing by when Jisoo intervened before someone called social services.

"Stop that because you are seriously weird with this smile," she allowed herself to fall into the seat in front of me with her coffee in her hand. I looked at her with a wicked expression on my face when I saw her condition. When she crossed my eyes, she immediately rolled her eyes and slightly blushed. What happened this morning is that Jisoo called me. When I picked up the phone, everything seemed normal until I heard some background noises that sounded a lot like kissing noises followed by a whimper that I guessed was coming from Jisoo. I knew right away where she was and what a crazy night she'd had.

"Don't even say it. Plus, I'm mad with Chaeng. I told her to shut up and she didn't," she scoffed and gulped her coffee avoiding my eyes. 

"Sex is normal so stop playing the prude, especially with me," 

"Sorry but we aren't like you and Lisa," I refrained from laughing as her cheeks grew redder and redder. Jisoo was a very expressive girl who wasn't afraid to show and tell what she had in mind, only at the relational level, she was always reserved.

"Okay, let's pretend I've never heard you two having sex. Why did you ask me to come to your place of work?"

"Jennie!" she whined and looked around her if her colleagues didn't hear me before she threw me her empty cup.

"I'm kidding!"

"I hate you,"

"Aw I love you too," I gave her doe eyes causing her to fake throwing up. Soon she changed her demeanour and her face became serious. She looked worried, uncertain, and if I hadn't caught her in the middle of a session with Chaeng this morning, I might have thought they had had a fight, "What's wrong, Chu?"
