The RoomMate - Chaelisa

Chapter 23

Rosé kissed the top of Lisa's heading, saddened by the fact that it was the third reservation or booking that she had had to cancel. She wanted her first date with Lisa to be perfect even though it might seem slightly pointless as they've already said they love each other and have been through a lot in the short amount of time they had known each other. 

Soulmates, Rosé said in her head, closing her eyes just resting. She was still aware of everything around her so when she felt a sudden movement, Rosé shot up, slightly startled but was quick to comfort Lisa who had tears streaming down her face.

"I saw it," Lisa sobbed, bringing her knees up to her chest as her mind kept replaying what she had dreamt. "I saw it," She repeated, quietly this time as Rosé wrapped an arm around her and pulled her in for a hug.

"Babe, I'm sorry," Rosé said, reaching for the younger girls hands to hold in her own.

"No, don't apologize, it's fine," Lisa mumbled, wiping her eyes.

"Come on, let's go to the living room, it's not as hot in there," Rosé suggested, bringing the younger girl to her feet and walking with her hand in hand to the living room before sitting on the sofa. The black haired curled her legs up underneath her and laid on Rosé's lap, playing with the older girls fingers while her thoughts were currently occupied.

"Are you hungry yet?" Rosé asked, snapping Lisa out of her thoughts.

"No," She quietly replied, focusing on her fingers intently. The older girl frowned slightly at Lisa's answer as she had usually never once turned down food since they've met and this is the second time now. "Drink?"

Lisa shook her head, not uttering a word.

Both girls stayed in silence for a moment, however it was comfortable. Lisa was upset and continuously filled her mind with images of Yeri while Rosé was thinking about her plans for next week and more importantly, the girl currently lying in her lap.

"Do you want to tell me about your dream?" Rosé asked suddenly, moving her legs so that Lisa sat up. She was surprised, however, when the younger girl subtly nodded her head, deciding to hold the Unnies hands. Taking in a deep breath, Lisa began to tell Rosé what she had dreamt.

"It was real. It's like what really happened. I just know it," The black haired spoke. "I was walking to my house and..." She paused for a moment, taking another deep breath. "And Yeri was playing with her friend and I saw her and waved to her but she didn't wave back, it was like I was not there," Pausing again, Lisa rubbed her eyes roughly, trying not to allow tears to fall.

"You don't need to carry on if you don't want to," Rosé said, noticing how hard this was for the younger girl who still avoided eye contact.

"I was watching her for a bit," Lisa continued, "Then she got up and it was like I knew what was going to happen but I couldn't prevent it. Suddenly Yeri was crossing the road and a car came and then she was lying flat on the road and there was blood everywhere and I was screaming and she wasn't moving and..." The tears then hit Lisa as she started sobbing uncontrollably, falling down onto Rosé and holding tightly onto the older girls legs.

"Okay, okay, I've got you," Rosé soothed, rubbing Lisa's back gently. Rosé hadn't had much experience in comforting people, she never really got close enough to anyone to need to comfort them if crying.

"I hate this," Lisa spat, sitting up again yet still avoiding eye contact.

"Look at me," Rosé said, holding onto Lisa's hands. "Babe, look at me," The older girl pestered. Very slowly, Lisa lifted her head by centimetres, glancing up slowly at Rosé who was staring at her with adoring eyes but then quickly darting her eyes back down.
