Lisa
I wake up alone and pat the other side of my bed, annoyed to find it empty. I yawn and make my way to the bathroom to freshen up before walking out of my room to find Jennie. She's in the kitchen wearing nothing but one of my t-shirts and it looks hot on her. I walk up to her and wrap my arms around her waist from behind.
"Morning, baby," I whisper. She turns in my arms and wraps her arms around my neck. She smiles up at me and my heart skips a beat.
"Morning," she murmurs. She rises to her tiptoes and presses her lips against mine. I cup the back of her head and deepen our kiss, taking my time with her. She tastes like toothpaste and coffee. I grab her waist and lift her on top of the kitchen counter. Jennie wraps her legs around me and pulls me closer. I groan and nip at her lips. "We should go back to bed," I murmur. I'm already hard again.
We both jump at the sound of a door closing behind us. Jennie looks up at me with wide eyes when Jaehyun walks into the kitchen. He looks just as awkward as we do, but he recovers far quicker.
"Thank God you two got back together. I don't think I could cope with Lisa's miserable ass for one more second," he says, grinning up at Jennie.
I lift her off the counter, and she looks at me in question. I just shrug. "He's my best friend and he lives with me. I couldn't not tell him."
Jaehyun shakes his head. "If you two are going to subject me to any type of PDA, then I demand to be fed."
Jennie laughs and walks over to the coffee pot to pour him a cup. "Fair enough," she says. Jaehyun takes the mug from her and ruffles her hair like she's a child. The outrage on her face is cute as fuck.
She glares and pushes him toward the dining table. "Do that again and you can forget about being fed," she warns him. Jaehyun smiles as he takes a seat. I help Jennie finish the breakfast she was making and use any excuse to sneak little touches and kisses in. By the time we have breakfast on the table, she's as frustrated as I am.
"How did you like the coffee cup?" Jaehyun asks Jennie.
I groan and run a hand through my hair. "She didn't even finish the damn coffee. I ended up having to throw her coffee on the floor to show her the message."
Jaehyun bursts out laughing, and Jennie blushes. She places her hand over mine and I raise it to my lips. Jaehyun looks away and smiles. "I can just tell you two are going to be one of those sickeningly sweet couples."
I shrug and grin at my girlfriend. "We're not like that," I say, and Jennie nods in agreement. Jaehyun looks at our entwined hands and shakes his head.
"You guys gonna tell Rosé?"
I glance at Jennie, and she shakes her head. "We just kind of thought we'd enjoy dating first," she murmurs, and Jaehyun grimaces.
"Yeah, she'll find a way to make your relationship about her," he says bitterly. Jennie frowns at him but remains silent. I can't even blame Jaehyun for his resentment toward Rosé. She really fucked up with him.
"I don't think we can hide it for very long, though," Jennie murmurs. I nod. At some point we'll need to tell her, but I'm definitely not looking forward to that.
"Hey Minx," I whisper. Jennie leans into me and looks at me with raised brows. "Will you go on a date with me tonight?"
It's been years, but we haven't ever truly dated. We had that first date in the lake at the summer cabin, and then Jennie's sixteenth birthday, but neither was a true date. I want to make up for all the time I missed, and I want to spoil my girl just a little. Saying I love you isn't enough, I want to show her I mean it.
Jennie blushes and nods at me. "I'd love to."
I'm antsy the rest of the day. I dropped Jennie back at her dorm after breakfast, and I've been counting down the minutes since. I've never been an insecure person, but today I actually changed my shirt three times. Jennie has seen me in pretty much every outfit I own, and she's seen me grow through all my awkward phases, but I still want to look good for her. It's like being in an official relationship with her makes everything feel brand new.
I'm nervous by the time I leave. Jennie asked me to pick her up around the corner of her dorm, and I hate that we're going out of our way to hide our relationship. I never should've agreed to that, but I also don't want to deal with Rosé once she finds out. I kinda want to enjoy some peace and quiet with my Minx, before Rosé inevitably blows up.
"Hey," she says as she walks up to me. I lean back against my car as my eyes roam over her. She looks amazing tonight. She's wearing a loose summer dress that showcases her boobs beautifully. She's so stunning… I can barely believe she's mine.
"Hey," I whisper. I pull her toward me and kiss her, but she pulls away. I frown, but she avoids my gaze and hops into my car.
She's quiet on the way to the restaurant, and I can't help but worry. Does she regret making our relationship official? I don't understand why she isn't as excited as I am.
Thankfully, her eyes light up when I park in front of La Familia. She grins up at me and I step out of the car and run around to open her door. I grab her hand and entwine our fingers as we walk to the entrance. Lita smiles at us when we walk in and glances at our joined hands, her eyes dancing with excitement.
"You two came to your senses, huh?" she says. I nod and lean in to hug Lita, lifting her right off her feet.
"I told this girl she was crazy for not making you her girlfriend," she tells Jennie.
I nod in confirmation and Jennie blushes. "Don't worry, Lita," I tell her. "She's mine now, and I'm not letting her go."
Lita claps me on the back and leads us back to the same table we had last time.
"You look far more relaxed," I say. Jennie looks up at me, startled. She bites down on her lip, her expression falling.
"I was just worried about being seen with you. I don't want Rosé to find out. I know we'll have to tell her eventually, but I don't want to do it right now."
I sigh and nod. "I know what you mean, but I also don't want to hide it. We're finally together after so many years, it seems stupid to keep it hidden for even a second longer."
Jennie nods and smiles sadly. "I know, babe. Just a few months, though. Let's just have a few months together before we tell her. I have a feeling things won't be the same anymore once we do."
I nod and look away, unsure what to say. "What are you going to tell her, though? How are you going to justify spending nights with me or hanging out together?"
Jennie looks down and I just know I'm not going to like her answer. "Random hook-ups and tutoring?"
I sigh and close my eyes. "We tell everyone this summer, okay? The academic year is almost over, anyway. We'll tell them when we go home. This summer I want you in my bed, Minx. I want to be able to throw my arm around you on the sofa and go on dates without having to make any excuses."
Jennie smiles at me and nods. Truthfully, I'm just glad we're finally together. Part of me is glad we're on the same page, though. A few months of dating without any pressure from my family is exactly what we need.
