Today I Met The Girl I'm Going To M... - Chapter 44: Chapter 44

So Jennie and I have been at my apartment for approximately 30 minutes and things with us are slightly awkward.
It's odd because we've experienced a lot together but somehow it feels like the first movie night we had.
I'm not saying that's a bad thing but I'm not quite sure how to act.
I feel rather fidgety and unsure of what is going to happen.
You know what I'd like?
Besides that.
A night free from thinking, analyzing, worrying, second guessing and trying to get in Jennie's head.
That's what I'd like.
A carefree evening where we just have fun.
It seems like forever and a day ago since Jennie and I have had that.
The only problem is, I'm not exactly sure how to accomplish said feat.
I could offer Jennie a drink.
No!
No!
No!
Did I mention a big fat no?
Alcohol, plus me, equals not good.
What if it's just one drink?
No!
Fine, fine, I get the picture.
Sheesh!
My inner ramblings are being very responsible.
Too bad!
Jennie and I are sitting next to each other and she's drumming her fingers against her leg while we wait for our food to arrive.
I nixed Jennie's pizza idea.
Pizza hasn't exactly been my friend lately.
I opted for Chinese instead despite the potential perils chopsticks pose.
Anyway, we've been sitting here for like ten minutes without a lot of talking going on.
Did I mention that things might be a tad weird?
So, yeah, I'm kind of stuck right now and I can't think of one good idea to get this party started.
I know it's not a party, it was just an expression.
"It was a beautiful day today," I state like Jennie couldn't tell that on her own.
Lame.
And possibly the most cliché way to make conversation.
"Not as beautiful as you," Jennie replies.
Ok, ok, I totally made that part up, but it would have been awesome if she did.
"Yeah, it was," is Jennie's actual response.
Bang up job there, Jisoo, bang up job.
I know!
I can tell her a joke.
Jokes are good.
Right?
I mean, they make people laugh and laughing makes people happy and happy people are, well, happy.
Sweet!
Now, I need to find the right joke.
Got it!
A priest, a rabbi and a dog walk into a bar...
I might just be one dumb joke away from getting committed.
"Congratulations on getting your album done," I say to try and get this thing they call talking going.
"Thanks," Jennie beams proudly. "I'm still not convinced it's actually finished though."
Score!
I did something right.
"I'm sure your dad would be really proud of you," I tell her because from the stories she's told me, I have no doubt that's true.
Jennie's whole face lights up. "I'd hope so, he always said he couldn't wait for me to have more number one hits then he did."
I smile at how content she seems.
Ok.
There's only so much smiling I can do before I start looking creepy.
And we're back to square one.
Come on brain, don't let me down.
Please.
Nothing.
I've got nothing.
I think the emotional roller coaster of last weekend fried my brain.
Oh.
That's an interesting phrase.
Why you ask?
Because it gave me an idea.
Nah.
It's a dangerous one.
"Do you want to smoke up?" I blurt out like a total loser.
Jennie quirks her eyebrow at me like I've gone mad.
She's not that far off base.
"You know, like pot, do you want to smoke some pot?" I ramble on.
Yeah, I really needed to clarify what smoking up meant.
Because I'm sure Jennie has never heard that term before.
"I still have that joint left," I finish as I blush.
I blush for two reasons.
The first one being that reference to my unsmoked joint reminds me of the night Jennie came over and saw it sitting on my coffee table.
That was a fun night.
We kissed that night.
I know you remember I was just picturing it in my head.
The second reason I blush is because I'm offering Jennie drugs when she told me she had a drug problem in her past.
I'm a pusher.
I don't mean to be!
I slap my forehead, but not as hard as I should. "I'm sorry, that was completely insensitive of me. I didn't mean to suggest we do that it just slipped out. I wasn't thinking and..."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa," Jennie holds up her hand to stop me from talking like Six from Blossom. "Easy there, Jisoo, you didn't offend me or anything."
"That's good," I reply before I start chewing on my fingernails.
What?
It's not like Bobby's around to see.
"I was never addicted to drugs, I just got caught up in a bad scene," Jennie says while I continue to chew away. "I do dabble in the occasional herbal refreshment so don't worry about it."
Whew.
I feel so much better now.
"Does that mean you want to?" I ask like I'm a teenager.
Jennie shrugs. "If you want to."
"I'm not saying we have to, you know, but yeah, ok then." I really need to practice my ability to form a coherent sentence.
I know this might not sound like the smartest idea but unlike alcohol, I can totally control myself while on Mary Jane.
That sounds dirty.
I giggle on my way to get the joint and I'm sure more giggling will take place once we've smoked.
I wonder what high Jennie will be like.
I guess there's only one way to find out.
Here we go!
"Dude, I cannot eat anymore," I exclaim as I rub my more than full stomach.
I don't recommend eating Chinese food high.
I'm beyond stuffed.
But very happy.
Jennie groans as she pushes her plate far away from her. "I know, but that was some damn fine food."
I can't feel my legs.
This is some primo stuff.
"Dude, it totally was," I agree before I start laughing for no reason.
Jennie looks over at me and the lazy smile on her face is priceless. "You say dude a lot, I never noticed that before."
"Dude, I do not!" I argue.
Dude!
I do say dude a lot.
Heh.
That was almost a tongue twister.
You know who has a really great tongue?
Jennie!
Like the most talented tongue in the whole entire galaxy.
Dude!
I'm baked.
And horny.
Oh no!
I forgot weed makes me horny!
Dude!
Jennie in a bikini!
Ah!
That is so not a visual I need right now.
Wait.
What am I saying?
That is like the hottest image and one I should be eternally grateful for having the privilege to see with my own two eyes.
Jennie in a bikini!
Oh!
Yeah!
Jennie waves her hand in front of my glazed and red eyes. "Jis, what are you thinking about?"
Good one, Jen.
Like I'm going to tell you.
Jennie in a bikini!
I giggle and get even more turned on at the same time.
Think, Jisoo, think.
And come up with something good to impress her.
"Uhm," I pause because my mind is blank. Well, not blank exactly but if I say Jennie in a bikini! she might leave. "Uhm." Another pause in the action. "Vibrators."
Oh my god!
That's worse than saying nothing.
Oh my god!
I should have just said no and not buckled under the peer pressure of doing dope.
Right, right, I was the one who made the suggestion in the first place.
Gah!
Jennie looks amused. "Vibrators? Really? And what exactly about vibrators were you thinking about?"
How I'd like to...
Never mind.
That's too dirty for my brain to handle with Jennie sitting so close.
"How uhm, how vibrators, you know, uhm how they vibrate," I reply and I'm pretty sure what I told Jennie made no sense.
"You are so stoned," Jennie laughs.
"Nuh uh," I protest. "I am completely not stoned at the moment."
I so am.
And horny, I can't forget that.
"Let's watch a movie," Jennie says out of nowhere.
Yes!
She's dropping the subject of vibrators.
Is that a good thing though?
I get up and walk over to my many movies. "What are you in the mood for?"
Me perhaps?
No.
Ok, just checking.
I didn't want to assume the answer was no because you know what they say about assuming.
Know what?
Wait.
Who said that?
"Whatever you want, your choice," Jennie answers in her sexy voice.
I scan my movies until I find the perfect pick.
This is going to scare Jennie so bad.
No, no, don't get mad, I'm not trying to make her cry but maybe if she's scared she'll look to me for protection. Yeah that would be so fucking great.
Hey, you know what I just realized?
If you say sofa king it comes out like...
Actually, I'm not going to ruin the surprise, you'll see for yourself.
I snicker under my breath as I pop my selection into my DVD player.
Dude!
This is going to be awesome!
On my way back to Jennie I get another smashing idea.
"I have chocolate ice cream in the freezer, you want some?" I ask Jennie who then nods enthusiastically in response.
I float over to my freezer to scoop out some ice cream for me and Jennie.
When I return I press play and give Jennie a very innocent smile. "Enjoy the show."
I'm so going to hell for this.
Oh well, nothing I can do about that now.
I turn the DVD off and as I suspected Jennie looks freaked out.
"So, what did you think?" I ask with a bit of a smirk on my face.
Jennie shudders. "That was so wrong." She shudders again and I wait for her to ask me to keep the bad guys away.
She doesn't.
Damn her.
Ok then, I'm just going to settle for teasing Jennie if she won't cooperate.
"Dude, you are such a weenie," I smirk.
"Shut up, I am not," Jennie protests. "It's not my fault that Teletubbies are so fucking creepy. I don't get how that show is supposed to be for kids."
"Aw, you're afraid of a kiddie show," I joke much to Jennie's dismay. "Are you going to be able to sleep tonight or will you need a night light to make you feel better?"
"You're so mean," Jennie pouts adorably.
Dude!
I love her pout.
"I have to go to the bathroom," I announce as I stand up.
I don't have to go the bathroom at all actually but I just got with the most fantastic idea I've ever had.
I run into my room and grab the object I keep hidden in the back of my closest.
Dude!
Jennie is going to have a heat attack when she sees what I'm surprising her with.
I quietly exit my bedroom and then I get down on all fours.
She's never going to see me coming.
I cover my mouth because I get hit with a giggling fit and if I don't stay silent my whole plan will be ruined.
I slide towards Jennie while keeping my eyes on the back of her head.
I slowly move without making a sound.
It's hard though to not start laughing again, especially when I have the Jaws theme song in my head.
Dun dun...
I get even closer to my unsuspecting victim like a lion stalking their prey.
Dun dun...
Dude!
That music is beginning to scare me.
Dun dun...
Ah make it stop!
I hold the object in my mouth as I continue to crawl on the ground.
My eyes are trained on Jennie like a hawk.
Is it just me or am I using a lot of animal analogies?
I'm almost there!
I arrive at the back of the couch without getting detected by the enemy.
Oh great, I've graduated from animal analogies to army ones.
I slowly sit up once I've removed the object from my mouth.
I count to three in my head.
"You're going to get it now," I shriek as I shove my Tinky Winky doll in front of Jennie.
Rosé bought it for me as a joke but now who's laughing.
That would be me!
And that would be because Jennie screamed out, "Stop, don't hurt me," as her body leapt off the couch in the most hilarious way.
Once I stop laughing I have every intention of telling Jennie I'm sorry.
My laughing stops sooner than I would have liked because I frightened Jennie so badly she missed the couch on the way down and hit my hardwood floors with a big bang.
I should check on her.
That would be the polite thing to do considering I'm the reason she landed flat on her ass.
I drop Tinky Winky before I scoot over to the other side of the couch. "Are you hurt?"
If Jennie isn't hurt, and I hope she's not, I will say it's nice for her to do the falling for a change instead of me.
Dude!
That was not a cruel thing to say!
Ok, maybe it was a little cruel.
Jennie narrows her eyes at me and I'm worried she might actually be mad. "I'm going to give you a five second head start before I get up and kill you for what you just did."
Dude!
I bet you she's just joking.
I giggle. "Good one, Jen."
"One, two..." Jennie pushes herself off the ground. "Three..."
Dude!
I better run for my life!
By the time Jennie hits the count of five I've locked myself safely in the bathroom.
I could stay here all night.
I have clean water to drink, a bath tub to lie in and those magazines I have hidden to keep me entertained.
Jennie bangs on the door with both of her fists. "Open up, Jis."
My legs?
Ok!
"Right now," Jennie screams at the top of her lungs.
I'm fairly confident that she's just kidding around and she's not really going to kill me.
Just to be on the safe side though I'm going to wait in here until she tuckers herself out.
I smile even though Jennie's threats of retaliation don't stop.
We shared a lot of laughs tonight just like I wanted us to have.
And whatever tomorrow brings I know I can face it.
It sounds like Jennie isn't about to give up her thoughts of revenge.
I guess I better go find those magazines, because I don't think I'm getting out of here anytime soon.
