New York

Chapter IX

Jennie wished she had never asked Lisa to take her to the hotel, if she only they would be this awkward, she would have let Lisa do her at the narrow alley, in the heart of New York City. In fact, it would be kind of exciting, she had never done sex in public before, in sooth, Jongin is the only person she had sex with and to be honest, she only felt satisfied on rare occasions, but Lisa has managed to satisfy her with just a kiss and a subtle touch.

The walk to the hotel was somewhat perplexing, none of them said a word. Jennie felt embarrassed but she cannot deny the fact that Lisa's kiss was within limits better than any kiss she had shared with Jongin.

But Jennie cannot just ask Lisa to do a rerun of what they had done earlier at this disappointingly crowded elevator, but why are these people using the elevator at 3:43am? Aren't they supposed to be sleeping? she knows she hates crowded elevators, but she hated it more now. If she and Lisa were alone in this rectangular metal cage, maybe they are now lost in some passionate French kiss, instead, they stand awkwardly side by side not sparing a look at each other.

As soon as the elevator dinged at the seventh floor, Lisa and Jennie quickly made their exit. Jennie does not know if it was a good thing but, she followed Lisa anyway.

The room was generic, a king-sized bed at the center, a standard looking table, and a bathroom. Jennie subtly looked at Lisa, the doe eyed woman seems to look at everything but her, but it was her idea, wasn't it? To do sex in here and thinking about that, makes her tingly. She must smell good, what about a little trip at the bathroom to freshen up.

"Can I freshen up? You know." Jennie awkwardly smile, subtly implying that she wants to smell good before they do 'it'. Lisa nodded with an unexplainable look on her face. Jennie quickly made her way to the bathroom, this is embarrassing.

"Do you want me to order something?" Lisa asked, phone on her hand Jennie peered from the bathroom door.

"Sure." Jennie smiled. Lisa was about to dial when she saw Jennie from her peripheral vison bowing at her. Lisa furrowed her brows, confused at what Jennie is doing.

"I'm sorry, Lisa. About wha-"

"It's okay." Lisa said cutting Jennie's apology. The feline eyed woman thinks Lisa is still mad but who would not? She just made Lisa realize how much of a failure the woman is, actually, maybe Lisa knows it already, and her big mouth added more salt on Lisa wounded confidence.

Jennie bowed at Lisa once again, "I'm sorry." Jennie apologized again. Lisa nodded and dialed room service dismissing the feline eyed woman, Jennie closed the bathroom door, she felt defeated, embarrassed, and a bit disappointed. Here she is in New York City, in a standard looking hotel with a stranger she had known for more than two hours, readying herself to get laid by that stranger herself. Jennie groaned. She stared at herself at the mirror in front of her. "What are you doing?" Jennie asked at her reflection, expecting the girl in the mirror to reply but after a few seconds, the woman from the mirror still hasn't replied. Jennie chuckled; she might be losing her mind. Jennie sighed and run a hand through her hair, massaging her scalp lightly. "You know what, fuck it. I just want to forget everything and be numb." Jennie said slamming her hand on the marbled surface of the vanity.

When she opened the bathroom door, Lisa was standing beside it, as if waiting for her already. Lisa must be the eager type Jennie said fiddling at the soft edges of the white bathrobe that she is wearing. Jennie was about to kiss Lisa when the doe eyed woman passes by her, apparently, Lisa wants to use the bathroom too. Jennie pursed her lips in embarrassment, thanking the heavens above that Lisa cannot see her face, crimson red, from all her dirty thoughts.

"I ordered Tagliolini for you. I hope you don't mind." Lisa said perplexed. Jennie turns to face Lisa, the doe eyed woman spoke again, "But, I also ordered two burgers and fries, if you wont like my Italian choice." Lisa said, quite uptight.
