Shreck ends.
"The kdrama ended, Shrek ended, everything ends..."
"Jennie, there are more Shrek movies. I actually want to watch all movies. I think I didn't watch some of the movies in the mid--"
"Shh," Jennie puts her index finger on my lips to make me stop talking.
I just look at her annoyed.
"... No more Shrek today, please..."
I take her finger off my face.
"You just said that you hate that it ended."
"I was not talking about the movie... and let's just watch the next one tomorrow."
"But I want to continue now..." I pout.
"But I don't want to."
I point to the door with my hand.
She slaps my arm.
"Ya..."
She stares at me and now she is the one pouting...
I roll my eyes.
"What do you want to do then?"
"I want to dance."
"Oh-oh-ke."
"Put music on."
"But it's 1 am, Jennie."
"And...?"
"And it's Monday. I-I mean it's already Tuesday and we have neighbours, remember?"
"Stop being so correct, I have loud neighbours too, and I want music!"
I point to the door again and she hits me harder.
"Aish... put headphones then."
"Are you serious?" she looks at me like she's done with me.
"Mhm, I do it all the time."
I get up to go to my desk and throw her my headphones.
She gets up from the sofa with them in her hands.
"So I put them on... and you? I don't want to look like an idiot alone, you're the idiot here."
I chuckle.
"... Put ones too..." she says.
Hm... I walk to my bedroom.
I come back doing a tired but nonetheless... confident, dorky pose with my other headphones on, shaking my hands.
Jennie laughs.
"Happy?"
She smiles widely and puts hers on too.
I go to the counter and grab a bottle of Soju... I need a little courage here. I drink one glass.
Jennie does the same.
"... Ya... you don't need more."
She turns to me, and while maintaining her gaze locked on mine, finishes her entire glass... ignoring me. She places her glass down and gives me a smirk.
Aish...
...
We synchronize our playlist and I can't believe this... we hit play... and the music starts to play loudly in my ears.
♪ [ ~ Starstruck - Years & Years ~ ]
She starts to rock her head, placing her hands on the headphones and... I can't. Seeing her like this is so funny.
She starts to dance more freely with her body and I do the same, but it's not like... sensual... we are just dancing dorkily and I fucking love it.
There's just the low light from the kitchen and the Christmas lights so we can see our shadows moving in the white wall.
Jennie moves backwards and... she trips on the table.
I-
She didn't really fall but it was enough to scare her and make her move her hands towards her heart surprised. I start laughing at her scared face and she starts laughing too.
She, indeed, ended up tripping on the table.
I push it more to the wall, pressing my lips trying not to keep laughing.
...
She leans closer to me.
She starts to mouth the lyrics with her hands on the headphones but I can't really hear her. She's so cute with her tiny jumps on the floor.
She starts to imitate my dance moves.
Aish... haha.
She keeps laughing so hard at my dance moves... but I don't care. I love when she laughs and even more when I'm the reason.
But I'm almost getting worried she's going to have neck pain tomorrow from laughing so hard at me... aish... haha.
This is probably so awkward if someone was watching us because... is just us the ones listening to the music, all the room is silent.
These improvised choreographies that we are doing are so stupid but it doesn't matter...
...
♪ [ ~ Someone To You - BANNERS ~ ]
Jennie leans even closer to me but doesn't say anything, just dances.
We are both feeling the music. She closes her eyes feeling the beat some of the times.
Music in the background can change the way you feel the moment so much... and especially if you relate to the lyrics...
I smile looking at her like this...
~ And if you feel like the night is falling ~
~ I wanna be the one you're calling ~
~ 'Cause I believe that you could lead the way ~
~ I just wanna be somebody to someone, oh ~
~ I wanna be somebody to someone, oh ~
~ I never had nobody and no road home ~
~ I wanna be somebody to someone ~
~ And if the sun starts setting, the sky goes cold ~
~ Then if the clouds get heavy and start to fall ~
~ I really need somebody to call my own ~
~ I wanna be somebody to someone ~
~ Someone to you ~
~ Someone to you ~
I shake my thoughts and keep dancing freely close to her.
...
♪ [ ~ Pretty Please - Jackson Wang, Galantis ~ ]
She pushes me far away and laughs. I furrow my eyebrows and look confused at her.
She does a stupid dance move and smirks at me.
Oh...
I do a stupid move too and look at her... teasing her...
She laughs.
She does another and looks at me.
...
The beat is flowing so freely through my body that... I may have added a little more flirtation to my dance move now... more than I should...
She stares at me for a few seconds without dancing in her turn.
But then... she looks at me with a malicious stare... that is making a hot feeling rush through my whole body.
She starts to dance in a way that I... I stay frozen, looking at her.
I think I'm feeling anxiety... but, what I'm feeling... I know is not just that.
I gulp.
She smirks... ah... waking me up from my trance.
Fuck, I want to hide from her so much right now.
♪ [ ~ Dark - LIAMOO ~ ]
I start walking to the counter still feeling the music, trying to act like nothing really happened... and nothing happened... I'm just walking away from her for no reason at all...
I open the fridge and take a bowl of grapes. I start to eat and turn around.
Jennie had followed me here. She jumps and sits on top of the counter in front of me, still with her headphones on too.
She makes me signals that she wants to eat too.
I walk towards her and hand her the bowl... but she just keeps taking one grape at a time, making me stand close to her to hold the bowl for her.
I look at her annoyed and she smirks.
She starts to stare at me with her dark eyes as she eats the grapes, not saying anything, with an expression that is hard to ignore the tension that she's creating between us.
We are just inches apart, she starts to look at my lips as she bites a grape.
I'm so fucked...
She finishes eating, parts her lips... and changes her gaze to my eyes again.
My heartbeat starts to get louder and faster... the way she's looking at me I feel my body automatically burn.
I grab a grape and put it in her slightly, open mouth.
She moves her headphones more to the side so I do the same.
She eats the grape, swallows it and laughs.
"What are you doing?" she asks.
"Don't look at me like that..."
"Like what...?" she smirks. She's so annoying...
"Like I'm one of your straight friends."
"I know you're not..."
"So don't tease me..."
"I didn't do anything."
"Hm..."
"I was just thinking about doing something," she smiles.
I-
I throw a grape at her face and hits her cheek.
"... Ya," she complains and chuckles.
I walk away from her and take off my headphones. I put them on the counter and I sit on the sofa, breathing out and keep eating.
She takes out her headphones too and I see her checking her phone. She breathes more deeply and types something.
Hmm.
She... ya! Aish... she drinks another shot 'cause the bottle was still there on the counter... I should have hidden that shit.
She jumps off the counter and walks in my direction a little dizzy.
I chuckle.
She starts to smirk looking at me. She puts her phone near me on the sofa, grabs my bowl of grapes, puts it on the table, and she...
°°°
Sh-she straddles me, sits on my lap with her knees on each side and stares closely at me.
Jennie...
I'm going to pass out.
She looks at my lips and then at my eyes again. I feel my whole body burning.
"... Let me kiss you..."
°°°
"You-you can kiss me when you are sober if you want..."
"Hmm," she looks at me angrily, dazed and annoyed.
She takes both her hands to my neck. I feel her fingers move... her nails scratching the skin on my nape. I involuntary shiver.
She leans closer to my face.
"... But I want now..."
My chest and breathing are getting so heavy.
"You're drunk... I-I don't want you to be mad at me tomorrow..."
"I won't... I promise."
"But--"
The light of her phone turns up again... it wouldn't affect me that much if I didn't see part of the message...
[X: Finally you came to your senses, see you soon babe, wh..]
She's still looking at me. I don't think she noticed her phone. She parts her lips and moves even closer.
"... Jennie, please stop..."
She moves away, annoyed and starts to breathe more heavily on top of me.
"Let me kiss you...!"
"I already said I don't want you to kiss me drunk...!"
"And I said you don't need to care if I'm drunk...!"
"But I do...! And... I don't want to be just one of the girls that you kiss at parties when you're drunk... and... be the only one that cares it happen..."
She keeps staring at me. I breathe out and grab my phone.
"... It's 3 am already..."
"And?"
"You should go..."
She looks at me confused with her dark eyes a little wavy.
"Bu-but... I want to say... when you were drunk I didn't leave you...!"
I breathe deeply and tiredly, 'cause she is indeed visibly drunk.
"Okay... but let's sleep already."
She smiles.
"Mhm, take me?" she opens her arms like a happy kid.
I chuckle, grab her and get up.
"I can take you home like last time," I start walking to the door as a joke... but if she doesn't complain I may do exactly that.
She starts to hit me.
"Don't you dare!"
I chuckle.
I bring her to my bed and this time she lets me leave her there without any drama.
"You can sleep like that, right?"
"Obviously, not!"
I roll my eyes.
"Jennie you're not going to make me go grab your stuff, right...? Please."
"You don't need to. I already brought them just in case when I stole your sweater," she coughs.
"... My sweater," she stands up and grabs a bag that... is in my wardrobe.
"What...? Ah... I... okay..."
I grab my pyjamas from the wardrobe too.
"... You can change first then."
"Mhm."
She starts to take off her sweater.
I automatically close my eyes and turn around.
"Not here, Jennie! The bathroom!"
"Why?" she laughs.
I try to walk out of my bedroom with my eyes closed and... I just tripped on the corner of my bed.
I hear Jennie laugh again.
"Aish."
I go out and slam the door of my bedroom.
...
"You can come," I hear Jennie from the other side of the door.
Hmm.
I don't really trust her right now.
I enter with my hand covering my eyes and slowly open a bridge between them.
I breathe out... she's really dressed.
I cautiously go towards the bathroom, pressing myself against the wall, staring at her who is sitting on the bed looking at me. She laughs.
Drunk Jennie is scaring me even more than usual Jennie... because she just does whatever passes in her crazy drunk mind.
...
I open the door of the bathroom and she is already lying on the bed and--
"Ya, that's my side!"
She laughs.
"... I like to be on the wall side! Move!"
She ignores me.
"Lie on top of me then."
I clench my jaw and look at her.
She opens her arms smiling widely.
I can't contain myself and I smile too. Fuck.
"Hmm."
That's deep down all I want, bury my head on her neck, let my body fall in her arms and be embraced by her...
"Come on..."
I move slowly closer to her and start leaning my head down. I let gradually my weight fall on top of her.
Hehe. Ahhh, my heart is so happy, so excited, beating so fast but all in a good way.
I rest my head on the curve of her neck.
She moves to be more comfortable and puts her arms around me.
I put my arm around her too.
Her hands start slowly turning into fists grabbing my sweater like she usually does.
I thought that was impossible, but this is even better than cuddling her. I feel so happy that I want to cry feeling her hugging me.
I'm the one who always wants to protect her so badly, all the time... but... she always makes me feel like I'm the one being protected and safe...
She's the coldest and warmest person I ever met. She's whatever she wants, whenever she wants and I hope she never changes that fearless trait of hers.
...
"Lisa...?"
"Hm."
"I'm not feeling good..."
I get up fast 'cause I'm making pressure on top of her with my weight.
"What do you feel?"
She has her hands over her stomach.
No... my ba-hm-hm.
I start to massage her stomach with my hand.
"... Is it your stomach...?"
What if was my food... shit, we never do anything right...
She nods no cutely.
Hmmmm... I'm starting to feel like I'm being scammed.
I stop my hand movement.
"... What is it then?"
"Come closer."
"Hmm... are you still drunk?"
She giggles.
I breathe deeply.
"... I will take that as a yes..."
I move on top of her and go to... my. Side! I bury my head. On. My pillow! And I stare at the wall.
I already can hear birds outside of how late it must be.
I feel her getting closer to me. She places her head against my neck and her arm around me.
She's cuddling me.
I chuckle.
But she doesn't stop moving her head on my neck, arghh... this girl can't stay still tonight.
°°°
I start to feel her place little kisses on my skin.
I shiver.
She chuckles.
Can she notice I just shivered...?
I turn my head around to face her, our noses are touching.
"... Stop!"
She stares at me pretending to be angy.
"No!"
Her fearless brown eyes.
"You're making these impossible...!"
She smirks.
"... Aishh."
I turn to the wall again.
She starts to hug me again, with her head on my nape, her arm around my stomach, and now...
I chuckle.
She's placing her leg over me too.
"... I'm not going anywhere, Jennie..." I say in a playful tone.
"I won't let you go either..." she chuckles and hugs me tighter... but...
She starts to move her hand upwards from my stomach to...
"Jennie..." I say in a serious tone... and she chuckles, stopping her hand over my heart and staying there.
"Your heartbeat is always so fast... are you still nervous around me?" she chuckles.
"Hm..." I hm annoyed.
I try to breathe more calmly to slow it down but... as I breathe in, I feel Jennie's hand and all her body pressure against mine even more so is kinda useless my attempts.
"... My heart will get used to you as it does with everything... it just needs time..."
"Hmm... but we are talking time like... a little more seconds... a few minutes, or... more...?" she chuckles.
"... Your heart already knows me for like... hm... almost four months."
"Seems more... but, yeah... he's kinda an idiot..."
"Is yours..."
I chuckle.
"Mhm... go to sleep now... and..."
"... Goodnight..."
She chuckles.
"Goodnight... and..."
What is this pause...? Nothing good will come out of it...
"... If you dream about me again... remember I like it rough."
"Jennie! Don't say anything else, just sleep!"
She chuckles and hugs me tighter.
"... Aishh..."
