When Universe Conspires

38 - Underground

(Jennie)

I saw a glass of water and a bottle of painkillers on the coffee table in our bedroom when I woke up. There's a note that says:

I'm really sorry babe, I couldn't wake you up you look so comfy sleeping. You need rest anyway, you don't have work today right? Here's Advil for your head and body pains and there's breakfast in the kitchen, I cooked before I left. If you wake up a little too late, just heat them in the oven. I have a 9 am meeting with Alex and Peyton. I'm sorry I'm not there when you wake up. I'll be back at lunch time. We'll eat together I promise! I love you babe! -Lisa

I smiled at the note. Who still writes notes when you can just text or call the person? But I love it. Notes are sweet. She took time writing it. Even her handwriting is gorgeous. Like those calligraphy styles you only achieve when you have it printed out using computer, at least for me. Hers is written manually yet it looks like it was machine printed. Yup, she's a robot!

I ate breakfast happily even though the medicine hasn't kicked off yet. I still have a throbbing headache. But I didn't care. Eating my girlfriend's home cooked meals was all I care about at this moment.

I sent a text to Lisa thanking her for the meds and breakfast. She replied a short 'All for you babe. I love you 😘'

Even her reply can make me smile like a fool. I may look like hell when I woke up but I still woke up in heaven. That's what it feels like anyway.

I decided to just stay home until Lisa comes back. I tried to watch TV but there's nothing interesting so I had to turn it off. I just went to my social media instead. I have like a thousand notifications on my IG page. Oh right, last night was the SG awards night. I kinda forgot. My fans tagged me in every single post they have. I saw heartwarming memes and of course funny ones. I saw memes of me and Jorge while we're waiting for the valet to get the Aston and Jorge was trying to make us ride with him to the after party. It was funny because the meme was almost accurate. They made fun of Jorge. And then the last photo on the memes was a photo of me climbing in the driver's seat of Lisa's Aston Martin. The caption said 'Sorry dawg, got mah own ride. And yo ain't gonna ride wit me. Bye felicia! #ThugJen #JenIsTheBest #ByeFelicia'

I laughed at that meme and put a heart on it. I know it's wrong to like a post making fun of anybody but I hate the guy so I don't really care.

Most of the posts were praises and congratulations for my award. Oh shoot! I forgot to call my parents last night! I hurriedly dialed my mom's number.

Mom: Jennie! Sweetie how are you? We've been waiting for your call last night. But we guess you talk to a lot of people and you're busy after the show so we didn't bother to call you.

Me: Oh mom, I'm really sorry. It kinda skipped my mind calling you. There was an after party for the awards night. My manager urged me to go because there will be a lot of sponsors and producers there, also designers. So I was busy and..

Mom: It's okay sweetie. We knew how your work goes. How are you anyway? I'm sure you have hangover right now.

Me: Hahaha I kinda have that too. I might have drank a little too much. But I went home safe and I'm okay. Everything's okay mom, nothing to worry about.

Mom: We know baby, you're a responsible person. We watched you on TV last night, we're so proud of you. I cried during your speech! I saw your dad rolled a tear down his cheek but he won't admit it! Your brother was hyped the whole night too.

Me: Thanks mom! I hope I can bring all of you next time. I'll see what I can do about that. There was only one extra seat reserved for me. I brought my assistant with me.
