No Strings Attached

Chapter Six

Jennie spent the twenty minutes packing her stuff neatly into the luggage or into the wardrobe. She was a typically neat person but she wanted to ensure that everything was spotless. Afterall, Lisa was coming to her hotel room later. After she finished packing, she plonked herself onto the couch and enjoyed a glass of red wine before heading for the shower.

Ding Dong

Jennie stepped out of the bathroom and skipped her way to the door. She opened it without looking through the peep hole since she knew who it would be.

“Hello!” Lisa greeted chirpily.

“Hey, you’re early as usual. Come in,” Jennie commented as she held the door for Lisa.

“For you.” Lisa was grinning from ear to ear as she held a white box up for Jennie to see.

Jennie took the box from Lisa’s hand and headed towards her dressing table.

Lisa was surprised to see Jennie opening the door, dressed in the hotel’s white bathrobe instead of casual clothes. Her hair was wrapped in a white towel while the bathrobe was loosely wrapped around her body. Lisa’s thoughts went wild as she imagined the sexy figure beneath that bathrobe. She placed the box of cakes onto the dressing table and sat on the chair while waiting for Jennie.

“Give me a moment while I change,” Jennie said as she disappeared into the bathroom.

A few minutes later, Jennie emerged from the bathroom wearing a loose fitting blue blouse and a pair of pink cotton shorts. Her damp hair caressed her shoulders as she sashayed towards the dressing table. Lisa tugged at her collar, feeling blood rushing all over her body, as her eyes followed Jennie as she walked.

“Thanks for the cakes. You have not seen anything I’ve done yet, no need for advanced payment,” Jennie said as she opened the box and peered at its contents.

“It’s only polite to bring something when visiting someone. Take these as a welcome gift. I made them this morning.”

Lisa stood an arm’s length away from Jennie, keeping her distance. She knew that if she were to stand too close to Jennie, she couldn’t guarantee that she could keep her cool.

“Lisa, which one do you want? There’re so many nice ones, I can’t decide,” Jennie furrowed her brows at the selection of cakes. She grabbed Lisa’s arm and pulled the latter closer so that they could take a closer look at the cakes.

“How about green tea chiffon cake?” Lisa suggested, trying to keep a straight face. She was shaking inside, worried her legs might give way due to Jennie’s touch. She could smell the scent of green tea shower foam Jennie used and she liked it.

Shower-fresh Jennie…nice smelling Jennie…oh what am I thinking?! Lisa willed herself to think of the cakes and keep her mind off Jennie.

“I can’t finish a slice by myself, so you’re gonna have to share it with me so that I can try the rest of the cakes.” Jennie pulled Lisa towards the couch.

It was a rather tiny couch since the hotel room wasn’t very huge. Their arms touched as they sat next to each other and Lisa looked away bashfully, feeling the warmth on her cheeks and ears.

“Hmm, it’s good,” Jennie complimented. Lisa grinned, feeling happy that her cakes were appreciated.

Jennie cut a small corner of the cake with her fork and held it to Lisa’s mouth. “Say Ahh…”
