Chapter Eleven
Jessica rolls over and looks at her clock to read that it was half past one. She groans and rolls out of bed; she makes her way out into the hall way only to hear laughter. She heads to the stair way and looks over the railing to see Tiffany smiling and giggling with Yuri, Taeyeon, and Hyoyeon. With a skeptical look she walks down the stairs and makes her way past the living where they were all sitting into the kitchen. Tiffany spots her sister and follows her into the kitchen only to see Jessica waiting for her arms crossed.
“What are they doing here?” asks Jessica.
“I invited Yuri over. She was hanging out with Taeyeon and Hyoyeon so they tagged along,” answers Tiffany.
“Why would you invite the lying idiot over?” questions Jessica.
“Because…she likes me,” replies Tiffany, “and I want to like her.” Jessica raises an eyebrow, “what?! You make it loud and clear that you don’t like me anymore. So if you’re moving on with a midget, I can do the same. Except mine’s not a midget,” smiles Tiffany as she turns around and leaves leaving a speechless Jessica. Jessica follows her sister out to the living room and watches as Taeyeon ignores her present. During which she took the time to examine the older girl. Something about her was different today.
“She’s looking at you,” whispers Hyoyeon to her older sister.
“I know,” remarks Taeyeon with a triumphant grin before looking at her phone. “Well we have to go.”
“Now?” asks Tiffany, “But I was actually having fun.”
“Yeah well…family business stuff,” states Taeyeon as she heads to the door still ignoring Jessica. “Yuri?”
“Oh...my father will just fill me in,” responds Yuri as she looks at the pouting Tiffany.
“Okay.” Taeyeon opens the door and leaves with Hyoyeon. As the closes with a click Jessica corners Yuri on the couch.
“Spill…I want to know everything about the midget and I want to know now,” states Jessica as Yuri cowers in fear.
“I told you already…if you’re interested just date this one. There is no reason to dig into her past and stuff.”
“Jessi,” whines Tiffany trying to get the older girl’s attention.
“I want to know,” growls Jessica.
“Jessi leave her alone,” states Tiffany. Jessica shoots a glare at Tiffany making the younger girl back down before turning back to Yuri.
“Spill now!” Yuri shakes her head. “Fine…I’ll figure it out on my own!” huffs Jessica as she storms back upstairs leaving the two younger girls down stairs. Tiffany turns to Yuri and shrugs her shoulders. They hear the bedroom door slam shut and open within a few seconds followed by the slamming of the bathroom door.
“I think she likes Taeyeon,” states Yuri.
“You think so?” questions Tiffany sounding slightly sad.
“Well…I don’t know…maybe…maybe not. But Taeng sure got her all riled up.” Jessica rushes down the footsteps and out the door with Tiffany and Yuri watching. Slamming the door shut Tiffany turns back to Yuri with a sad smile. “Well…um wanna go for a walk?” asks Yuri while standing up. Tiffany nods her head and grabs hold of Yuri’s hand allowing for the younger girl to lead her out of the house.
*****
Jessica heads towards the bus stop. She needed to get to the mall. There was a certain tall person who she wanted to question. As she rounds the corner to the bus stop she spots Taeyeon and Hyoyeon talking to some guy who was standing outside of a black car with tinted windows. She watches as Taeyeon and the male shake hands before the guy climbs back into the car and speed off leaving the girls at the bus stop. She waits a while before approaching the bus stop and to her surprise Taeyeon continues to ignore her. She could only roll her eyes as she stands a few feet away. As she turns her back to the girls Taeyeon looks over at her with a grin.
