Jennie Layed back in bed, her mind ceasing to stay calm. A million and one thoughts and questions whirled around on an endless loop. All she wanted was peace, she didn't want to think about it all right now, so much had happened in such a short about of time she needed to be able to stand on firm ground before she went off sprinting in the other direction.
Two days had passed since Lisa had first entered her bed, three days since the party and five since the wedding. Her mother and step father were due back in just a few days. So much had changed and so much would continue to change.
Lisa continued to come to her throughout the day, they'd make love and then she'd disappear and Jennie couldn't help but be hurt by it. She knew there were no strings, and that there never could be but still the hurt was there. She found it hard to resist her, she wanted her to much. Whenever she was near her body sparked to life.
Jennie had wondered if she was the only one she was currently seeing or if she was just using her at home as an easy way to get release. She wanted to ask her but fear curbed her tongue.
Her phone pinged.
Leaning up she swiped it from her side table before letting her body drop back on the bed with a soft umph.
Irene: You getting ready yet?
Jennie stared at the text completely confused. Getting Ready for what? She replied.
She waited impatiently for Irene to answer. It wasn't long until her phone pinged again.
Irene: For the party. Lisa texted, like, the entire school stating there was another party at your place tonight. I was just wondering if you were ready or not.
A Fire of fury filled her.
How dare she! She thought to herself.
Me:No, I had no idea she was even throwing another party.
Jennie rose from her spot on the bed, as she walked closer to her door she began to hear the slight sound of chatter.
Not caring that she was dressed only in a large over sized t shirt and a pair of checkered night shorts she headed down stairs. The sound of talking became louder as she neared the livingroom. Just as she turned to enter she collided with a hard figure.
"Oh sorry Jennie"
Looking up Jennie smiled politely at Jackson. "It's ok it was my fault I shouldn't have tried to take the corner so sharp" she replied.
He grinned, his white teeth looking bright compared to his surfer tan," You ready for tonight?"
She forced the smile to stay on her face, "I wasn't planning on attending" she gritted out.
Jackson's face fell and he looked suddenly put out like a lost puppy, "oh. Well if you do decide to come um... would you like to be my date?"
If Jennie wasn't so into Lisa she knew she'd have no problem falling for Jackson.
"Um... I'll think about it ok?" She said politely.
He nodded.
"Is Lisa in there?" She asked nodding her heads towards the livingroom entrance.
Jackson chuckled shoving his hands deep in his pockets, "yea she's in there inviting people. She's restless, if I were you I'd sleep with ear plugs tonight I wouldn't put it past her to sleep with multiple girls tonight"
Jennie saw red, she didn't even have it in her to respond to Jackson. Instead she turned on her heal and headed back up to her room.
How could she have been so stupid?
Lisa was Lisa, she'd never change, she used people and that's exactly what she'd done to her. She expected that her name calling and rude remarks would start back up now that she'd have no use for her.
It may sound stupid, as if she were jumping to conclusions but it would explain why she was distant and only came around when she wanted sex.
She decided to reply to Irene with all new intentions. I'm going to get ready soon. Wanna come over and get ready here?
It didn't take long for Irene to reply with a yes. It was only thirty minutes later when Irene arrived and stood knocking on her bedroom door a large backpack in hand. She grinned and stepped forward into the room, Jennie stepped around her shutting the door behind Irene.
Ten outfits, two hair styles and one tantrum later both girls stood at the top of the stairs, dressed to party. Irene had chosen a rather small red mini dress that barley touched the middle of her thighs, her brown eyes were surrounded with a thick eyeliner and dark eyeshadow, glitter roamed her chest and arms. Her black heels looked dangers and her upswept blonde hair hung in loose curls.
Jennie smiled at her friend, her own attire was a bit risqué. A very short dark wash jean skirt and a tummy baring lace crop tank, she'd left her long brown hair down, small single loose curls filtered throughout and her make up was light.
Jennie felt good about herself, she walked down the stairs with Irene confidently enjoying the stares of everyone that caught sight of them.
"I'm going to grab us something to drink" Irene yelled leaning into Jennie so she could hear her over the loud music.
Jenni nodded and watched Irene disappear into the crowd. Her stomach suddenly became a nervous pit as her eyes stole across the room, sweeping across everyone, looking for her.
By the time Irene came back with their drinks Jennie still hadn't seen Lisa.
But apparently Irene had.
She grinned like a Cheshire Cat, "Come on" Irene said tugging on her wrist.
Jennie followed blindingly, "Irene where are we going?" She asked.
"I saw Lisa" she said, Jennies heart sped up and her palms suddenly became sweaty, "and your boy toy is in there to"
Jennie stared at the back of Irene's blonde head.
Boy toy?
They continued further into the house nearing the downstairs sunroom. People from school stared and whispered. Some even had the gal to point at her. No longer feeling confident Jennie's eyes strayed to the floor. she knew what they were talking about. Jiyong couldn't keep his mouth shut, he'd boasted about taking her virginity and now the entire population of the town knew about it. She was so ashamed with her self, she should have waited instead of giving it to that large oaf.
Irene tugged her past the double glass doors into the sunroom. Jennie's chest tightened painfully at the sight before her.
Lisa sat on the small couch with the blonde bombshell from her mothers wedding. She was perched on her lap, her hand on her exposed upper thigh. She threw her head back and laughed at something she said.
Jennie wasn't sure if she was ready to kill or cry, how could she have been so stupid?
That seemed to be the question of the century.
Lately all she did was make bad decision and sleeping with Lisa was now one of them.
She'd never lost her player ways she'd just simply played her to the right tune to get her to fold and she'd fallen right into her hands.
She shouldn't be allowed to make decisions anymore.
A warm hand settled on the curve of her lower back, she looked up at Jackson's surprised face.
"I thought you weren't coming?" He asked.
Jennie forced herself to smile, "I changed my mind"
Jackson looked like a kid on Christmas morning, "so does this mean you'll be my date for this evening?"
Jennie wanted to say no but she didn't want to hurt his feelings and she wasn't even sure she should be making this decision by herself.
Jennie glanced quickly at Irene who gave her an encouraging smile, her eyes filled with support. Jennie was going to consider that a push in the right direction, a decision she didn't make so it had to be the right decision.
She leaned into Jackson, the smell of sunshine and men's shampoo clung to him, "yes I'd like that"
His arm came around her shoulders and she relaxed into him. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad.
Bambam and Kyungsoo stood near the wall to wall windows in a heated discussion. Irene moved closer to Lisa as she began talking to Solar.
Jennie trusted Irene, she didn't think anything would come from her and Lisa. Sure, Irene obviously had a crush on her but she doubted she'd ever act on it and from the looks of it she doubted Lisa would ever act on it either.
A few more people walked into the sunroom despite their group already in here.
"Do you want anything to drink?" Jackson asked leaning in close, so close she could smell the mint from his breath.
Glancing into her now empty cup she looked up at him and nodded. She wasn't even sure how she had finished her drink so quickly, she didn't even remember drinking it.
Jackson left her side, walking out of the room. The moment he left Jennie felt the weight of a stare from someone she wasn't to fond of at the moment.
Lisa was watching her, her eyes appraised her as she pulled a cigarette from its box. Jennie watched as she smoked, her hair disheveled as she knew she'd run her hands through it to much. Her black t shirt and dark wash jeans looked to good on her. They watched each other threw the smoke, their eyes betraying nothing.
A chill past over her raising the hairs on her body. Even as they both fought the attraction, their bodies continued to react to each other's.
