LISA POINT OF VIEW

Lisa had gone from store to store to find the absolute perfect one for her. It was simple and elegant, because she knew she didn't like anything that was over extravagant.

After finding said perfect one, she'd walked around the town calling and making reservations. Between trying to accomplish a romantic night with Jennie and trying to keep up with showing her listed houses she was fit to be tied.

She hadn't even gotten a chance to call her and she couldn't afford to drive all the way there to see her with everything going on.

She walked out of the jewelers feeling a little happier, she'd returned the ring she was going to propose to Esther with. As she was walking out she spotted a certain brunette heading her way. Her long black floral dress billowing in the soft breeze, her hair was curled wildly and blue eyes squinted at her as she zeroed in on her target.

She sighed in irritation, she really didn't have time for this drama.

"Lisa!" She shouted getting her attention including the bystanders walking by.

She stopped walking and pulled out a cigarette from her pack, she lit it knowing she wouldn't come to close seeing as she hated the smell.

She watched as she scrunched her nose in distaste before stopping just far enough away that she wouldn't be caught in the billows of smoke she was letting out.

"How...um, how are you doing?" She asked, her eyes dripped with hopefulness.

She smiled, knowing it would piss her off, "great actually"

"Oh" she said softly, her face flashed red with anger, "I was hoping we could talk"

She took another drag and it took everything in her not to tell her to go to hell. Instead she asked "about what? There's nothing to talk about"

She stomped her foot in anger and she so badly wanted to laugh at how childish she was acting. This was a whole new side to her, she'd never acted like this while they were together. She was always so up beat and happy.

Was this who she really was or had she brought this out in her?

"I love you Lisa, I know I've done wrong but you have to and I think we should try and work through it" she pleaded.

The sound of cars driving by and people talking roared in her ears and she couldn't believe she'd suggest such a thing.

"Well?" She promoted sidling a little closer to her despite her still smoking.

"No" she said finally.

"No?"

"No" she said again, the girl was obviously hearing impaired.

She let out a shriek and clenched her hands onto fist. She didn't even see it coming. She swung back and clocked her right in the jaw. Her throw was weak and sloppy and from the way she howled in pain she was sure it hurt her more than it did her. Her jaw stung but nothing beyond that.

They had a small crowd gathering close by, watching them, waiting to see what she'd do. Esther chest was rising and falling, tears falling from her eyes and for a moment she saw her as a small wounded deer that simply needed her help, that was before she caught sight of her hand pulling back to hit her again.

She caught her wrist in mid air putting some pressure beneath and watched her eyes widen.

"Do not do that again you fucking bitch" she growled out between clenched teeth, "get the hell away from me. I don't want to see or hear from you again. We're over. Simple as that. Fuck off" she said releasing her harshly. She stumbled back wide eyed before glancing around at the group that had gathered before rushing away down the street.

She sighed and turned her back, her eyes connecting with the curious eyes of the towns people. They gave her questioning looks but nobody said anything.

People began to disperse.

Lisa tossed her cigarette aside and began walking back towards her car.

A day later, she had everything ready. Despite the crazy fucking mess that yesterday had been she'd gotten everything she had needed to get done, including selling one of her high marketed houses. Lisa felt as if she were floating, completely high on life.

She stepped out of the shower, the tile instantly cooling her feet. Wrapping a towel around her waist she walked into her room snatched her phone from her side table and dialed her number.

It rang and rang and rang.

"Hello?" She sounded breathless.

"Did i interrupt something?" She asked. She trusted Jennie so she wasn't suspicious, she was just wondering what had gotten her so out of breath. Was she ill?

"Just my morning run" she said panting.

"What are you doing tonight?" She asked praying her schedule was free. She probably should have asked her before she set everything up.

"Well I'm supposed to be at the restaurant tonight"

She pinched the bridge of her nose," well do you think you could come out with me instead?" She asked.

"I don't know Lisa there's a lot to do. I'm still short staffed, the new employees won't be in until next week" she sighed.

She closed her eyes praying for the best, "please" she practically.

There was a heart stopping moment of silence before she said, "yes, fine, what time should I expect you?"

She did a victory dance, her arms swung up punching the air, she couldn't stop grinning, "Six o'clock"

"Ok" said before they both said their goodbyes and hung up.

Dressed in dark washed jeans that hung low on her hips, paired them with a long sleeve button up dark blue over shirt with a plain white t shirt beneath. Her tried to comb her hair but had instantly hated it and ended up running her hands through it.

She grabbed her wallet, phone and keys before leaving the house.

Her stomach was a nervous pit. A small amount of doubt swarmed around making her uneasy. Would this night go as planned?

She pulled up to her house and strode from her car to Jennie's front door. Before she even had the chance to knock, the door swung open.

Fucking hell. She was going to have to fight off all the young and old men who thought they had a chance with her little mix with a fucking s baseball bat.

Jennie Kim was without a doubt the most exquisite woman she'd ever met.

That long gorgeous strawberry blonde hair was curled into beautiful soft waves down her back, her make up was light only truly serving to enhance her breathtaking hazel eyes. Her usual pink plump lips were coated with a sensual red.

Her black lace dress reached just above her knee, the dress was plastered to her form, enhancing her subtle curves. The sweetheart neckline gave Lisa a small hint of her plump breasts. The thin straps that held up the dress were completely made of lace and would be easy to rear should she decide to make a desert out of her.

The black strappy heels added about two inches to her height.

"You look so dashing" she said winking at her.

She laughed, watching Jennie smile sweetly, "dashing?"

"Oh yes" she said eyeing her with unabashed hunger.

"If you don't keep your wandering eyes to yourself were never going to leave this house" she growled leaning forward to kiss Jennie sweet lips, "get in the car" she demanded.

She watched Jennie visibly shudder as her eyes darkened but she obeyed while smiling to herself.

Lisa knew she loved when she took control and told her what to do.

As they settled in a thought occurred, "are you wearing your plug?" She knew she wasn't, which was her own fault. She hadn't been around.

"No" she said softly.

Lisa grabbed Jennie's hand and gave it a squeeze, "don't worry about it." She pulled out of the driveway and headed back through town. "What did you think about it?"

Jennie blushed and glanced out the window, "it was uncomfortable at first but by the end it wasn't so bad"

"Good" she said.

They drove through town and ended up on the highway towards her place. The sun was settling and rays of red and oranges shimmered across the lake as they drove by. Jennie was awed.

Thirty minutes later Lisa pulled up to her favorite restaurant The chandelier. The entire place was modernized, from the outside in.

"It's gorgeous" Jennie said eyeing the building with interest.

"Thinking of remodeling?" She asked as she let her hand drift to her lower back, ignoring the twitch in her pants as she guided her inside the building.

"Definitely not. It wouldn't look right with my restaurant" she said even as she eyed the shiny decor.

As Lisa predicted men leered at what was her. Both young and old swimming across her form before eyeing her with blatant jealousy.

That's right you fucking pricks, she's coming home with me, she thought to herself.

They were greeted and seated, their drink orders were taken and delivered. Once the food arrived they both dug right in.

The closer the end came, the more nervous she felt. Her hands were shaking and sweat had built at the back of her neck. This was the most nerve racking feeling of her life.

The small box in her pocket suddenly felt like a ton of bricks, she was sure she was going to notice it.

"Lisa this place is amazing. Thank you for brining me here"

"You're welcome" she said.

It was now or never.

Lisa stood from her seat and placed herself down on one knee, immediately she felt the beady eyes of everyone in the building.

Jennie gaped at her, her mouth forming a surprised O.

"Jennie Ruby Jane Kim" her tongue suddenly felt swollen and tied, "we wasted five years of not being together, I refuse to waste any more time with you. I love you, I always have and I always will. Will you do me the honor of being my wife?"
