Love Is So Sweet - Chapter 36

After a long day with the weirdly excited Jun, Lisa returned home to her apartment, and in the front door of her apartment, there was Jeniffer snickering. Seeing Lisa coming home with a lot of shopping bags, made Jeniffer smile even wider.

“Welcome home Lisa. So how was your date with Jun?”

“It was not a da-” Lisa was about to pass by Jeniffer while answering, but then she stopped abruptly and then her face gained a tinge of red. Lisa’s back was facing Jeniffer but even though she couldn’t see what expression Lisa had at this moment, Jeniffer could still see Lisa’s ears turning a bit red.

Jeniffer was surprised that she was right. She was only teasing Lisa and wasn’t really expecting it to be a real date.

“Oh, sh*t it really was a date! Come on spill, tell me everything.”

Lisa opened the door to her apartment and was about to rush in and close the door, but Jeniffer was able to react on time and stopped the door from being slammed to her face.

“Come on Lisa don’t be like that. Just tell me what happened.”

Lisa looked at Jeniffer’s face and it was then she knew that Jeniffer wouldn’t stop pestering her about this. Even if she backs out now, she would probably continue pestering her tomorrow, and the following days until she gets what she wants. So it would be better to confront her now and be done with it.

Once she decided on what to do, Lisa allowed Jeniffer inside her apartment. Jeniffer quickly came in and bowed her head, which made Lisa feel weird.

“I’m sorry if I’m a bit pushy, but I’m really really curious! If I ever get a boyfriend I’ll immediately tell you all the details of my relationship. So SPILL!” Jeniffer was getting a bit giddy, it was like she was a teenager again.

Lisa was about to answer Jeniffer and tell her about the fake relationship she and Jun have. But then she remembered what Jun said while they were shopping.

…

“Oh, I forgot to say this, but you mustn’t tell anyone about us being a fake couple. If anyone asks, even if it’s Karla or your family members, you should answer by telling them that we really are a couple.”

“You want me to lie to my grandparents?”

“Yes, just tell them that you’re seeing someone. That’s all you need to say to your grandparents if they ask. Also, no need to tell them anything if they don’t ask alright?”

“…Fine…”

…

Jeniffer was already expecting this answer, but when she heard it she still couldn’t believe it. Her mind stopped working for a second before she suddenly burst.

“WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?! WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME?!” Lisa was taken back by Jeniffer’s sudden outburst that she stepped back a bit.

“We actually got together the day before you saw him enter my apartment.”

“What! Really?! Damn it, I knew you two seem awfully close. I did doubt it when he said that you two were just office friends, but damn… I guess my couple radar isn’t working properly.”

“Couple radar?”

“That’s something I call my sixth sense in telling who is a couple and who’s not. The first time I saw you two together, I really believed Jun when he said you were office friends, but for some reason, I felt like that description was a little bit off. Now I know why it was off, it’s because the two of you were really a couple.”

“Alright now that you know, you should go.” Lisa quickly tried to push Jeniffer out.

“No, I want to know how your date went. I see that you bought a lot of stuff, or did he buy those things for you?” Jeniffer pointed at the bags Lisa brought into her apartment.

“It’s just a few dresses and some shoes. He kept on insisting and I couldn’t say no.”

“Sure,” Lisa then took out the clothes and shoes and showed it to Jeniffer whose eyes were sparkling.

“These are all Chanel! Is Jun loaded? You hit the jackpot, Lisa!” Jeniffer looked at all the branded goods that she could only dream of having.

“What did Jun say when he saw you wearing these clothes?” Jeniffer asked while checking each item with a bit of envy. After a few seconds of silence, Jeniffer looked at Lisa and wondered why she wasn’t answering. Jeniffer then saw Lisa blushing very hard.

“Oh, come on. Showing me a reaction like that, you just made me want to know more. What did he say that could make you react that way.”

“…” Lisa remained silent.

“Alright if you tell me what he said, I will leave right now.” Hearing Jeniffer’s offer, Lisa was tempted but she was also embarrassed to say what Jun said. After a few more seconds of thinking, Lisa finally decided to tell Jeniffer what Jun said to her.

“He said I look beautiful.”

“Oh, that’s such a normal response. I thought it would be much juicier than that.” Jeniffer shrugged her shoulders a bit disappointed, but then Lisa continued to talk.

“I told him it’s because the clothes are very nice. Anyone wearing them would look beautiful, but then Jun looked at me with a serious expression and said… Oh, you misunderstood, what I meant to say was as long as you’re the one wearing them even rags can look beautiful. It’s not the clothes that made you beautiful, it’s you that made the clothes beautiful.” Even recounting the scene made Lisa blush furiously.
