the art of perfect snogging | ✓

07: stay a little longer

Two minutes was an improvement. Two minutes was good enough for her to not seem suspicious. After Jisoo spitted out the stem into the trash bin she made her way next to Rosie and laid down against the blonde's bed.

"So that's the first lesson, our next lesson's going to be tomorrow or whenever we're both free?" Rosie shifted and faced Jisoo, who had her eyes closed.

"If I didn't know any better, I'm going to think you're extending the lessons because you want me around." Jisoo kept her eyes closed while a smirk graced her lips.

If she only knew how Rosie was just as frustrated as she was and if she only knew how true those words she held actually were.

Rosie ran a hand across her hair, tousling it, and it only made her more seductive than she already was. She lied down beside Jisoo and stared up the ceiling.

She tried to deafen herself or at least mute the questions that had been bothering her.

She really wanted to kiss Jisoo, and the way that want had suddenly appeared had shaken her to her core because she was certain she had never been attracted to girls.

Nonetheless there she was, she had actually agreed to this whole mess of lessons about snogging, just so that she could possibly kiss Jisoo some more; it was as if she was taking the crumbs, because the actual bread was given to another girl.

It was fine though, right?

It was fine, she was being a good friend for helping Jisoo better herself, she was being a good friend for helping Jisoo get the girl. It was totally convincing, the heavy weight on her chest wasn't really saying otherwise, she was going to ignore that.

It was fine. This was okay.

She wasn't attracted to Jisoo at all. It's 2019 and everyone was bloody gay, but not Rosie, totally not her.

She just wanted to kiss Jisoo and her heart shaped lips were so irresistible. That was it, she was curious, it wasn't like she was going to fight to death just to win Jisoo's heart. All she wanted was to feel Jisoo's lips against her own.

Things were crystal clear to Rosie (or at least she somehow convinced herself that after that moment of rationalizing); she did find Jisoo beautiful but that didn't mean she was going to date her, she only wanted to kiss her because that was totally...normal, people liked the idea of kissing their friends, they snogged as friends and they were going to snog as friends yet again (hopefully), there was nothing homo about it at all.

"Hey," Jisoo had her elbow propped against the mattress, she was resting her head against her palm, while she lied on her side and watched Rosie's face. "You don't have to keep on teaching me, you know?"

Rosie inclined her body and shook her head, "Huh," She furrowed her brows together, "Do you not want me to teach you?"

"Nope," Jisoo popped the 'p' and smiled sheepishly. "I do want you to, why would I ask you if I don't?"

"Then, we're going to continue the lessons." Rosie gave Jisoo a small smile, "Since I won't teach you if I don't want to."

Silence had washed over them, it was one of those moments, typical sexual tension rising as their eyes meet, then soon their gazes fell to each other's lips, they both swallowed down their desires, and the worst part of this was how they were blind about how they wanted each other when it was blatantly on their faces.

They still couldn't see the obvious fact as Jisoo leaned in and Rosie stayed where she was. A little more push, a tilt to the side then their lips would meet again.

"Are lessons really done for today?" Jisoo held on the hem of Rosie's shirt.

"Maybe we—" Jisoo's lips were hovering and lingering just right above Rosie's own, she felt Jisoo's lips for a millisecond, "—we can see the progress you've made?"

"Hmm," Jisoo closed her eyes and she felt the warmth of Rosie's breath against her skin.

The smell of her skin was so good, Jisoo wanted to press her nose against her skin, now she let her hand moved to Rosie's hip and held her there, in place.

"Soo, what are you waiting for?"

Jisoo then broke into singing, "Love me like you do, la la love me like you do!"

"Touch me like you do, ta ta touch me like you do..." Rosie could not help but continue.

They both broke in laughter, Jisoo's forehead now rested against Rosie's, whatever they were thinking of doing were totally forgotten as they basked in each other's giggles.

Rosie had given up and stumbled down against her mattress, Jisoo followed and settled herself against Rosie's collarbone.

This was good, this was nice, just two friends tangled into each other's being, without minding the outside forces and even their undying desire for each other.

The Universe and the gay Gods were going to give them both their moment. Let's give them their moment. They both deserved it.

"What were we laughing about anyway?" Jisoo asked as she looked up at Rosie.

"I have no idea," Rosie wiped the tears that laughter brought with her finger. "You're such a fucking dork."

"Don't you know a whale's penis is called a dork?" Jisoo asked, another batch of giggles bubbling inside her chest.

"Yeah?" Rosie looked at Jisoo now, "You're totally a whale penis."

"So I'm a dick?" Jisoo sat up now, feigning a hurt expression on her face, she put a hand against her chest, her mouth was shaped in an 'O' as if to mock shock.

"Yup," Rosie smirked and put her arm behind her head, making it as a pillow. "You got a problem with that."

"You're an arse then!" Jisoo poked on Rosie's sides.

"Oi, hey, that tickles."

"Huh?" Jisoo immediately smiled slyly, mischievousness glassed her eyes, she moved and straddled Rosie.

"Chu, no!" Rosie tried to push Jisoo off of her.

Jisoo remained where she was though, and finally she trailed her fingers along Rosie's sides, being gentle as a feather to make the tickling sensation worst. Rosie squirmed and squealed, she tried to stifle her laughter, but Jisoo's tickling was adamant that she just had to burst or else she was going to turn completely red.

Rosie's arms were flailing around and eventually it went to Jisoo's face, hitting the shorter girl, which emitted a disgruntled noise from her.

"Soo!" Rosie was finally avail to sit up as Jisoo was totally focused on her nose, which was hit. "Oh my goodness, oh gosh," It really wasn't quite obvious how panicked Rosie was, right?

Her hands frantically cupped Jisoo's face, she tried to take Jisoo's hands away so she could be able to look at the damage she's caused.

"I'm really sorry," Rosie apologized.

"Kiss it better." Jisoo pouted.

"Really now, you started it!" Rosie laughed but she still kissed the bridge of Jisoo's nose, "There you go, Dick."

"Thank you, Arse." Jisoo looked quite pleased, she then softly pinched Rosie's cheek and laughed some more. "Anyway, I have to go."

"What?!" Rosie shook her head and clung onto Jisoo, "Nooo, stay a little longer, I'll help you with your homework, please..."

Jisoo felt like her heart melted upon seeing the way Rosie widened her eyes in a pleading manner, it was difficult to reject her that way, "You don't like being alone?"

Rosie nodded while pouting, "Yeah, mum and dad come home late."

"I felt that," Jisoo smiled and kissed Rosie's forehead, "I'll stay, but you must feed me."

"We have Shepherd's pie, let's just heat it up."

"Good thing I'm low maintenance then."

"You better be, Dick," Rosie laughed and they both stood up from the bed together.

"I'm really hungry, practice was exhausting."

The two of them made their way to the Park's kitchen, Jisoo's homework in hand, she wanted to finish them while she and Rosie continue to spend time together.

It turned out Jennie didn't have to expect for a crying Jisoo that night.
