This Means War

Chapter 9

Jennie's POV

I woke up feeling a lot better but I felt really warm and I smell something really familiar. I plucked my eyes open and I saw some skin, I was resting on someone's neck and I was hugging them tightly. I loosen my grip and try as gently as possible to break away so the person wont wake up. When I'm in a good distance, I saw that it was Manoban whose holding me.

She fell asleep beside me, what the hell happened? How did I end up home? All I remembered was the drive back home. I must've fallen asleep on the way and she carried me inside my room. But how did she end up beside me in bed?

I looked at her peacefully sleeping.. It's been a long time since we both slept on the same bed. It's hard to pretend not to remember anything, I leaned in to get a good look of her face, I have always thought she was beautiful, well she still was but every time I look at her, the hurtful event kept flashing back to me.

I always have been admiring her, she was always so carefree, so easy to be with, I was always comfortable with her with anything... as a matter of fact I was too comfortable back then that I couldn't bare the fact to be away from her for even a second, I kept missing her, I always wanted to see her, I'm always looking forward what tomorrow will bring cause I knew I'll be with her.

I knew I had feelings back then for her. And some part of me still misses my lili, but it's not the same anymore, I already decided to move on, you might think I'm cold hearted but really I was just broken when she left and didn't kept her promise. I continued to stare at her sleeping state, is it better to just hate you? Or I'm just afraid to get hurt by you again?

I keep asking myself, why did you even came back and trying to win my heart again? I don't want to be the same girl you met a few years ago, I'm not her anymore. I leaned in more and stare at her before kissing her forehead. Then I stood up from my bed and went downstairs.

I saw my mom at the living room watching the replay of How I met your mother. She turned to me, must've felt me entering the living room.

"Honey, how's your sleep?" She said while walking up to me.

"It's fine, mom." I replied.

"How's Lisa doing?" I was taken aback by her question.

"She's uh.. sleeping." I said while furrowing my eyebrows.

"You hungry? I'd cook dinner. Go get Lisa." She said and I just nodded at her as a response.

I walked to the fridge and took the pitcher and I poured some water on a glass. After I drink some water, I sighed and went upstairs to my room.

But when I entered my room, the bed was empty then next thing I know I was pushed down towards the bed I immediately turned and saw Manoban smirking at me then she straddled me on the bed.

I squealed. "Mommyyy--!" I tried to yell but it was muffled by her hand.

She shushed me. "Ssshh.. you don't want mom to find us in this position right?" She asked while smirking. Tch.. she got a point tho..

I rolled my eyes at her and she started to remove her hand away from my mouth.

"What the hell are you doing?" I asked looking annoyed as hell.

She didn't respond to what I said, instead she was just staring at me and I couldn't look away. I know she's slowly leaning on to me cause her face is getting nearer and nearer every passing second.

I knew she was only inches apart but I can't help but stare at her, and in a flash, reminds me of how she looked back then.. I knew what I felt for her before is something strong that's why it hurts so much when she left me. I suppressed my tears from falling, I knew it would hurt to see her again after a long time but I never knew the pain I felt before is the same feeling she's giving me now just by being this close to me.
