Jennie

I'm nervous the entire way back to Woodstock. Lisa and I haven't really discussed what we'd do or say when we went back, and I'm worried.

Rosé storms into the house excitedly while Lisa and I follow behind her.

"You're being really quiet. You okay?" Lisa whispers. I nod and help her carry our luggage into the house. I know my dad isn't home yet, so there's no point in going back to my own house yet. I might as well say hi to Helen first.

Helen smiles at us as we walk in, her eyes glittering with unshed tears. She walks up to Lisa and me and hugs us both, forcing us into a group hug. Lisa chuckles and throws her arms around us, lifting us both off the ground.

"Missed you, Mom," she says. She smiles up at her and grabs our hands.

"I'm so glad you're back," she says, her voice trembling. Rosé throws herself at us and joins in on our hug, squeezing us all tightly.

"Yeah, missed you, Mom," she says.

Helen leads us all to the kitchen and the three of us smile in delight when we find the counter filled with our favorite foods. She went all out for us.

"Helen," I murmur. "You shouldn't have."

She throws her arm around my shoulder and shakes her head. "All my babies are finally back for the summer. I'm just so happy, Nini. The house hasn't been the same without you three."

I hug her tighter, my heart breaking. I don't like the idea of her being at home all by herself. She's gotten so used to having us around.

"I have a dozen recipes for us to try, Nini." She glances over at Rosé and grins. "And I booked a spa day for the two of us, Rosé."

Rosé squeals happily, making me laugh. She's been in high spirits all week, and I'm happy to see her so excited. I was worried she'd hate coming back, or that she'd be bored. I'm hoping her excitement will make it easier for her to accept the news of Lisa and me dating.

I glance at her as she takes out slices of cake for the three of us. Helen made each of us our favorites. Lisa grabs my slice of chocolate cake and grins wickedly before taking a bite. I lunge toward her and snatch the fork out of her hand.

"Don't even," I warn her. Her arm snakes around my waist and she pulls me flush against her, my breasts crashing against her chest. Lisa grabs the fork from my hand and brings another serving to my lips. Just as I'm about to close my lips around the fork, she pulls it away and shoves it in her mouth.

"You… you... you don't even like chocolate!" I shout. I glare at her and grab my fork back, turning my back to her in annoyance. "I can't believe you ate my cake."

I pull my plate toward me and wrap my arm around it protectively. It isn't until Helen bursts out laughing that I remember we aren't alone. She glances at Lisa and me and smiles in relief. "I see you two are back to your usual antics. I knew being in the same city again would be good for you two."

Lisa looks into my eyes, silently telling me this would be a good time to tell her, but I shake my head. I'm nervous. I don't know for sure how to tell her, but I don't think right now is the right moment.

Lisa looks disappointed but nods. Helen chats non-stop as we all eat our cake. It's obvious she's beyond happy to have us back, and I'm terrified of ruining her happiness so soon. I know Rosé isn't going to like us dating, and I don't want to create any conflict.

"Come on, let me help you take your luggage home," Lisa says. I nod and rise, grabbing one of my bags while Lisa gets the rest. She's quiet as we walk into my house, and I know she's annoyed with me.

"This week, okay?" I murmur. Lisa sighs and carries my luggage up the stairs. When we reach my bedroom, she drops it all on the floor before sitting down on my bed. I walk up to her and sit down in her lap. I cup her cheek and turn her face toward mine. Lisa looks at me dejectedly.

"I love you, Jennie. I love you with my heart and soul. I know things aren't going to go as smoothly as we want them to, but I also won't hide how I feel about you. We've done enough of that. It's time we start living our life."

I rest my head on her shoulder and press a gentle kiss to her neck. "I love you too, Lisa. Let's tell them at the end of this week, okay? Let's give your Mom a bit of time with us before… you know."

Lisa nods and tilts my face up. I kiss her and smile as I push her flat on her back. She grins wickedly and looks at me through lowered lashes. "You know what, baby? I've never had you in your bed."

I chuckle and straddle her, not at all surprised to find her hardening already. Lisa turns us over so she's on top and kisses me until I'm breathless. Her lips move to my neck and she trails a path down to my chest.

"Off," she says, yanking on my clothes. I giggle and grab her t-shirt, pulling it over her head. We're both impatient as we undress each other. I pull her toward me as soon as we're finally naked in my bed.

Lisa leans over me and kisses me so tenderly that my heart feels ready to burst. "More," I murmur. "You can't stay away too long. Besides, my dad should be home in an hour or so."

Lisa groans and glares at me as her fingers find their way between my legs. she keeps me right at the edge, and no matter how I squirm or plead, she won't give in.

"Please, babe. Come on," I urge. Lisa chuckles and reaches for her jeans. she grabs a pouch from her back pocket and holds it up for me to see.

"Payback for the goddamn Brussel sprouts dessert. I'm upping my game, Minx."

Shw takes out a device that's shaped like an egg and grins as she pushes it between my legs. I bite down on my lip and look at her in curiosity. Even while we've been dating, we never stopped playing pranks on each other, but they've never been this daring. My heart is racing when Lisa grabs her phone and uses an app to turn the device on. It starts vibrating deep inside me and I nearly come there and then.

"I dare you to keep it in throughout dinner, baby," she says, grinning wickedly. "Try not to come."

She laughs and I try my best to glare at her, but I'm feeling too damn good. "Ugh, playing dirty, huh?"

I'll need to think of a way to get back at her for this. She's definitely going to keep me right at the edge for hours. "Damned Devil," I mutter under my breath, making her laugh.

Lisa leans in and kisses me, pulling away to look into my eyes. "I love you, Minx. You're the girl of my dreams. You know that, right?"

I nod and thread my hands through her hair. "I love you more, Lisa."

She shakes her head and kisses me again. "Impossible," she whispers. I pout when she pulls away and grabs her clothes.

"I've stayed away too long already. Mom will definitely come find me soon. Tonight, though, baby. One way or another, I'm having you."

I fall back on my bed as Lisa walks out the door, intent on making myself come at least once. There's no way I can get through dinner otherwise. I'm going to be a needy mess by the time I finally get Lisa alone again.
