Chapter 13
Jessica was lying peacefully on her bed, deep in a beautiful dream when the loud ringing of her phone woke her up abruptly. She shot her body up and swooped for her phone.
"Hey..."
She greeted the person on the other end of the line, her eyes barely open but she was awake.
"Jeez, what happened? How come you're so sweet?"
"Tiffany?"
Immediately, Jessica's voice changed, her expression darkened. She had expected someone else.
"What do you want?" She asked coldly.
"Now that is the Jessi I know. I just wanna ask what you're gonna wear for today. I stood in front of the mirror half an hour already but can't decide. And Taeyeon complimenting on every outfit is sweet but not really helping in choosing one."
"Take pink." Jessica randomly said, wanting to end the conversation as soon as possible.
"But everything is pink already!"
"Then take rose color. I don't have time now. See you later."
Jessica pressed on end-call and tossed the phone carelessly on the night table. She heaved a sigh before lying down again on her tummy, her face digging the pillow. Why hadn't Yuri called her yet?
After their hot night in Yuri's apartment, Jessica had talked with her father and explained the situation to him. To her surprise, both of her parents were fully supporting their relationship - they didn't even wave a second hearing Yuri was their business's rival's offspring. Jessica had mentally smacked her own head, asking herself why she didn't talk to her parents sooner. They could have spared so much drama.
Her father decided to keep Yuri's company as a whole, a branch of their enterprise so to say, and deployed Yuri as the branch manager. Everything was almost like what it used to be, except the Jung Enterprise was watching over Iustit and Yuri didn't get as much money as before. But then again, it didn't matter to Yuri. Not a bit. All she needed was Jessica, and the fact that Mr Jung had employed her, that was additionally making things perfect.
In the first days, Jessica had always accompanied Yuri home and stayed with her except for the weekends. But now, they had to switch the divisions. Jessica stayed with her on the weekends, and went home during the week. It wasn't really appropriate for Jessica to show up at work with love marks on the neck. The first days, the girl tried to cover it with a scarf, but she soon got tired of that piece of clothing as it never stopped giving her itches. Jessica was never really fond of scarves. She then told Yuri to avoid her neck when making out, but her girlfriend refused right from the start.
"I can't." Yuri had waved her hands in gesture of disapproval. "Your neck is the most delicate place, Sica. I mean, you're soft from head to toe, but your cute little neck is the most wonderful part ever. You can't tell me to not kiss it, seriously."
And who could say no to that. It wasn't Yuri's fault she was mesmerized by Jessica's neck, and it wasn't Jessica fault her girlfriend's favorite spot happened to be something she had to show the public. And so they agreed on the newly set schedule, using their time wisely on the three weekend days. However in the week, Yuri would always call Jessica in the morning just to hear the girl's voice. It also became a habit of Jessica to wake up due to Yuri's calls. She didn't feel a bit annoyed, unlike in the past, but even woke up earlier sometimes to look at the phone screen, waiting for Yuri's caller ID to appear. They would see each other in the lunch break later anyway, but then again, they were helplessly in love. Both of them.
It was Saturday today. An exception - Jessica wasn't at Yuri's because they were going on a date later together with Taeyeon and Tiffany and Sooyoung and Sunny. Several hours were still remaining until the actual appointment, so Jessica didn't want to stay up yet. She decided to just sleep in and wait for Yuri to call waking her up. If she got late, it would be Yuri's fault.
"Remember to wake me up, Yuri."
She mumbled half in sleep. Now no one could defend Yuri and tell Jessica the girl didn't know anything about the wake-up duty Jessica had given her. Jessica had told Yuri just now, and whether the girl heard it or not wasn't Jessica's problem. She could peacefully sleep again, without any worries. What were seobangs there for?
However, Yuri didn't call her. Jessica had woken up without receiving any wake-up call. Instead, Ms Ahn was the one interrupting her beauty sleep.
"Miss Jessica..." The woman joggled her shoulder. "You have a guest."
But Jessica refused to wake up. She wanted Yuri, not anyone else. So, stubbornly, the twentysomething girl clutched the blanket closer, facing the other side to avoid the older woman just like a kindergarten kid who didn't want to wake up. As the woman kept calling her, joggling her shoulder, Jessica turned on her tummy, digging her face in the pillow again, trying to ignore the calls.
"I don't want to."
She whined into the soft pillow. She was extremely disappointed Yuri didn't call her. She didn't want to see anyone right now. Jessica heard Ms Ahn heaving a tired sigh before the women stood up and left. She thought the older woman was letting her be and relaxed her stiff body, but growled into the pillow again as footsteps towards her bed, even though soft, gave Ms Ahn away.
"I said I don't want to see anyone!"
Jessica wailed. Her bed shifted as Ms Ahn sat down onto the edge, trying to pull the blanket away. Jessica felt the hand stop pulling as she, stubbornly as always, refused to give up. Ms Ahn's hand began running through her hair, which left Jessica surprised. It had been such a long time since Ms Ahn had woken her up this way. But too bad, she was determined to not get up until Yuri called today.
Suddenly, her hair was pulled aside and her neck was exposed to the air, sending little shivers down her spine. Jessica didn't have time to wonder what was going on when she felt a pair of soft lips making contact with her skin, teeth biting her neck playfully, heating it up immediately. She shot her eyes open at instant and turned around, facing the person she thought was Ms Ahn.
"Yuri!"
There the girl was, grinning at her.
"Good morning baby."
Yuri leaned in, shushing Jessica with a good-morning kiss, preventing a playful punch Jessica was about to give her. Now the girl was grabbing a hold of her arms, enjoying the kiss instead.
"Now tell me why you don't want to get up." Yuri asked as they released the kiss. "Did you forget our date?"
"I thought you had forgotten about it." Jessica pouted, sitting up straight.
"Tsk, silly." Yuri poked Jessica's forehead playfully before standing up. "Come on Sica, we only have two hours left."
Now that her wish was fulfilled, there was no reason for Jessica to keep staying in bed. She took the hand Yuri offered her and let herself being pulled to the washroom. As she was too slow for Yuri, the girl decided to pick her up, carrying her again. Jessica had yelped again in surprise, but didn't complain a word. Instead, she gave Yuri a peck on the lips for being such a wonderful seobang, spoiling her to the nth degree.
With Yuri constantly rushing Jessica off her feet, they managed to get out of the Jung residence in thirty minutes, which was Jessica's personal new record.
"Where's the car?" Jessica asked, looking around as she didn't see the familiar van Yuri was used to use.
"No car today," Yuri smiled as she took Jessica's hand, leading her to the bike on the roadside.
"We're cycling?" Jessica's eyes widened.
"Yep. After shopping, Taeyeon, Sooyoung and I want to take you girls out for a picnic. And we just thought it's lovelier travelling by bicycle."
"It's super duper romantic," Jessica cupped Yuri's cheek, placing a kiss on the girl's lips.
Yuri grinned widely. She knew Jessica would like it.
"And you're sure you're not scared sitting on the carrier?"
"Nope." Jessica giggled. "I trust you. Plus, I've always wanted to try this out ever since I read it in a book once. It's perfect, Yuri."
Yuri smiled, climbing on the bike. As Jessica had hopped onto the carrier, she began cycling off. Yuri felt her heart flutter as Jessica encircled her waist possessively, the girl's head resting on her back. She let go of the handlebar with one hand, laying it on top of Jessica's arms around her waist, caressing the girl's hand gently.
"Ah! It tickles Sica!"
Yuri quickly grabbed the handlebar again, preventing the bike from tumbling over. The girl behind her giggled first, then laughed out loudly.
"What's wrong with you? It never tickles you when I kiss your back on bed."
"If you don't want to fall, you better not do it again."
"All right, I will never ever do it again. Literally, NEVER."
"Seriously..." Yuri sighed. "You're so childish."
And they kept on talking about the most random things, joking about every little thing they saw on the street. Never had either of them felt this blissful, this happy, so in love. Life was perfect having each other and none of them could imagine to ever fall out of love with the person they're with right now. Jessica had turned Yuri into a real human being, instead of keeping the life of the workic that didn't know about anything but work. And Yuri, in return, had helped Jessica getting over her past, learning to accept things that had happened and couldn't be changed. Their love story was a love story Jessica could only read in books before. Now, it had become reality for her, and Jessica couldn't think of anything else she wanted.
They arrived at the mall twenty minutes later. Side by side, the couple entered the super-sized mall with 2500 m? surface, three floors and over one hundred shops. It wasn't just the city's shopping centre but people from suburb areas also came on the weekends, as well as visitors and tourists from other cities and countries. Almost no one knew each other at this place, neither did anyone really care about other shoppers more than the shops, so it was not hard to keep an identity anonymous - even if you were famous.
Yuri and Jessica headed to the escalator to get to the third floor, where the Caf? they would meet the others at was located. Yuri stood behind Jessica on the escalator to make sure no pervert was going to do things to her girlfriend from the back. Jessica found the glares Yuri shot the guys around them overprotective, but cute. She should have thought about something to save Yuri from hungry eyes of shameless girls as well, but it was too late. Jessica had caught a bunch of girls on the escalator next to theirs (but going in the opposite direction) checking Yuri out as if it wasn't obvious the girl was completely taken. Jessica had of course shot them glares, but the girls kept whispering to each other while stealing glances at the clueless Yuri.
Jessica could only sigh. At times like this, Jessica whished Yuri was just the workaholic she used to be. Because as a workaholic, Yuri didn't care about her look, and Jessica didn't have to fret over fangirls. She wondered how Yuri could still keep her body of a goddess in spite of sitting in front of the laptop all day. And dressed in a sporty white tee, blue three quarter pants and all new converse chucks wasn't helping to reduce any hotness. Jessica could only silently thank God for keeping Yuri a workaholic until she came.
"We still have time," Yuri said as they reached the third floor. "I bet no one's there yet. Taeyeon will be late because of Tiffany's tardiness and Sunny because of Sooyoung's stomach."
Jessica giggled. She was about to suggest them doing a little window-shopping when suddenly, the girls from earlier appeared out of nowhere, approaching them.
"I don't care I want to go to the Caf? right now let's go!"
She pushed Yuri forward and almost run with the girl, away from the source of the annoying giggles.
"Sica, slow down," Yuri grabbed her arm, decreasing the pace. "Didn't you hear? They're not there yet. I don't want to run."
Jessica sighed. She couldn't came up with a reason to run, and of course she didn't want to tell Yuri about her stalkers, who had catch up with them and were now walking ten dangerous feet to the right of Yuri. Jessica clenched her teeth in anger as those girls were still whispering and pointing at Yuri, totally ignoring her presence.
"Yuri!" She almost yelled at her girlfriend. "Do I look like your girlfriend?!"
"Huh?"
Jessica took Yuri's hand into hers, tightened the grip and pulled the girl along.
"At least now I do, don't I?"
"Uhhh... Of course."
Jessica snorted, ignoring Yuri's confused look. However, she fumed seeing those annoying girls were not shaking a bit. Instead, they even get nearer to Yuri, one even dared to wave but luckily Yuri didn't seem to notice.
"Sica... you're kinda hurting me."
Yuri's voice caused Jessica to look down at their hands. She was squeezing the poor girl's hand as if she was squeezing orange juice.
"S-Sorry."
"What's wrong with you?"
Yuri stopped in her tracks, causing Jessica to stop as well. She then turned around facing Jessica, showing the flirting girls her back.
"Yuri, I--"
"If that's because of them," she yanked her thumb behind her, indicating the girls. "I don't even care, so why are you jealous?"
Jessica was surprised. Yuri knew all the time. She was about to say something when Yuri let go of her hand, sliding it around her waist and pressed her body closer with a pull. The taller girl crushed her lips onto the shorter's, surprising her completely. With Yuri's sudden force, Jessica had to arch her back and Yuri bent over to keep their lips connected, causing their bodies to bend over the ground in an almost 90 degree angle. Yuri deepened the kiss as Jessica's long brown-blonde hair fell down, hanging loose just like a curtain. Another scene Jessica had only read in books or seen in movies before.
"Content?"
Yuri asked after releasing the kiss, pulling Jessica up again. The shorter girl was still amazed and could only give a nod.
"Let's go."
Yuri grabbed Jessica's hand with a smile, pulling the girl along. When her girlfriend wasn't looking, Yuri turned her head around, giving the girls, who were left wide-eyed behind, a killer wink.
"What was that scream?"
Jessica shot her head back, looking at the squealing girls with narrowed eyes.
"I don't know." Yuri shrugged innocently. "Who cares." Smirk.
---------
"No, Yuri. You have to do it like this... See? It's so easy!"
Yuri grimaced.
"I can't..."
"Yah babo ah~ Put it on the tip of your tongue first... then make it thinner... then just blow and..."
Yuri watched as Jessica created a tennis-ball-sized bubble out of her bubble gum before breaking it with a bursting sound. They were sitting in the Italian Caf?, waiting for the two other couples to arrive.
"I can't..."
Yuri whined. She tried again, moving the bubble gum to the tip of her tongue just like Jessica had instructed.
"Don't stick your tongue out, Yuri."
Yuri rolled her eyes. Everything seemed easy once you can do it.
"I told you to not stick your tongue out!"
"I'm trying!"
She rolled the gum into her mouth again, chewed a few times before pushing it to her front teeth. As her tongue began pressing on the bubble gum, Jessica almost swooped down on her, sticking her tongue into her mouth.
"Hmpffff--"
Yuri struggled at the beginning, but gave in to the sudden kiss soon. It's rare that Jessica got this fierce. Eventually, the other girl released the kiss and they both panted hardly, their nose-tips touching.
"Didn't I tell you to keep your little tongue inside?"
Jessica whispered as Yuri was still breathing against her lips, making her wanting more. Yuri just gave a chuckle, and Jessica had to smile too. She's getting too addicted.
"Oh no!" Jessica suddenly grabbed her throat. "My gum! I swallowed it!"
Yuri's eyes widened for a second, then she burst out laughing, earning a slap on her shoulder.
"It's not funny! It's all your fault!"
"No it's not! Hahahha... You're still the same clumsy kid Sica!"
The hitting and slapping continued and wouldn't have stopped if Taeyeon and Tiffany hadn't come in time to rescue Yuri.
"You're so violent Sica."
Taeyeon shook her head as she sat down onto Tiffany's lap.
"Why are you sitting on Fany's lap?"
Sooyoung and Sunny also appeared, both licking ice cream.
"Why not?" Taeyeon asked back, finding nothing wrong.
"It's supposed to be the other way around, Taengoo." Yuri helped the girl.
"Why?! At home I'm also always on top--"
Jessica, Yuri, Sooyoung and Sunny laughed in amusement as Tiffany pushed Taeyeon onto the ground, blushing madly.
"Fany! What was that for?" Taeyeon looked up from the ground with incredulous eyes.
"Just shut up Taetae." Tiffany looked away, hiding her flushing cheeks.
"Alright!" Sooyoung helped Taeyeon up. "Stop the love fights. Let's go shopping guys!"
And so, the three couples got out of the Cafe, enjoying their date together with jokes, laughs and happy smiles.
