LISA – DATE

Indecision. I was picking out my outfit for a date I was hoping to have in a few hours, Lalisa Manoban, my friend whose was keeping me for dinner, said the venue would be a surprise, making me more and more nervous. Something I hated were surprises.

Seoul was cold that night. So I opted for a chic and comfortable look, a navy blue long-sleeved dress with a v-neckline in the breast area. As an overcoat I wore a new black leather jacket that I bought last week and never had the opportunity to wear it, not forgetting the tall boots in the same color.

When I finish putting on the intoxication mask and grape lip gloss, the ringing of the doorbell rings in my ears, I grab my purse and cell phone.

I go down a flight of stairs and reach the ground floor of my house, and in the meantime I hear the bell again. I grab the door handle and pull it, soon seeing the oldest in front of me, she wears light jeans with a white cropped tank top with a black all-star. I think I dressed up too much.

- You are wonderful! - I received the compliment from the eldest. And she gives me a beautiful bouquet of poppies.

- I can't say the same about you... Because you're perfect! - I hesitate before saying the last part to give a suspense. I give the black haired one a hug that doesn't take long to respond, after we separate she gives me a chaste kiss on the corner of the mouth.

Give thanks for the bouquet and before leaving the house put it in a vase with water.

- Let's go? - we agree intertwining our arms as we take the path of the surprise place for me.

- Where are we going?

- I already said it's a surprise...

- Not a tip? Please!

- No, wait and see!

The restaurant was beautiful. I'm simply in love with this place, 따빠마드레 or Tapa Madre, it's a Spanish restaurant they made here in Seoul. We ordered a dish that we had never eaten and one of the most requested called Gambas. A shrimp risotto if I'm not mistaken.

I was submerged in my thoughts about the girl in front of me to listen to the description of the dish, the only thing I paid attention to were the dark brown eyes that gleamed against the city lights.

When the dish arrived, we ate calmly, the drink was some wine with a different name. I was sipping my drink and talking to the woman sitting with her hand on her cheek paying close attention to the side conversation about a new Netflix movie. She was just adorable.

And fascinating if I may say so. Our friendship started a few years ago, specifically three years ago, since then we haven't separated anymore.

Every weekend after my job at a local bar, we'd go out for karaoke near the oldest's house and only leave when the place closed. They were amazing nights, we always ended up drunk sleeping in any corner of Lisa's house. And sometimes we called her close friends. We left the restaurant with two bottles of Soju.

Mine obviously apple, the best. She had her arms around my waist and mine was hanging around her neck. We were just walking through the streets not knowing our direction, a gust of wind hit our faces, hair flying back. - You know what I love most about first dates? - Lisa with a weak voice like a whisper asks me.

- What?

- When one of the people steals a kiss from the other - she turns to me. I was completely red, I didn't need to have a mirror to know that I looked like a bell pepper, I hope that because of the drink it didn't make that much of a difference.

Lisa was staring at me; I was on the verge of sticking my head under the ground. My body felt warm in the freezing cold. My heart missed a few beats.

"I-I don't know what to say..." - Then just let me approach you. Closer and closer, millimeters of distance between our mouths, everything seemed to be in slow motion, everything seemed to be in my favor, the lights a little dim, our bodies almost glued together, the wind swaying our hair, I didn't even care if we were in the middle of the street. It seemed to be just me and her.

Just her and me. The two of us alone with no one to get in our way. Our lips touched, it was a kiss as calm as that night, the moonlight illuminated that moment altogether.

She kissed me like it was the last time. It was all totally magical, I want to stop and replay this moment. I swore that this first kiss on the first date thing was a farce - obviously from only seeing it in movies or series - on tv.

I really liked how she grabbed my waist and pulled me to her, how soft and light her lips were all at the same time. She was the person I wanted and needed at that moment.

As all that is good lasts a short time, the lack of air hit us hard, we separated and pressed our foreheads together, uncontrolled breaths.

- What did you think of this? - We separated calmly, she still held my waist with some strength. I don't answer her because I'm still trying to control my breathing.

A few minutes pass and I stare at her wanting to kiss her again, but as I don't want to be too invasive, I decide to just leave two wet pecks on her mouth.

- I hope that answers your question.

- I don't know, I think I need another answer like that.

- Lili, we're in the middle of the street! - I honestly don't care. What others think doesn't matter to me.

The only thing that matters to me right now is you, only you. She steals another kiss from me, only this time she asked me for tongue passage.

Obviously I didn't deny it. This one was faster and more needy. I want this day to never end, I don't want everything that happened today to be a mere memory, I want this to be my present and future.

We arrived on the sidewalk of my house, we went up the steps to get close to the door. I start rummaging through my bag for my keys, I turn the bag in every way.

I feel a hand hold my index finger, Lisa presses it on something, but my vision was blurred, the drink was slowly making my head dizzy and bewildered.

When I realize it, I'm already facing my shower, while Lisa begged me to take off my clothes so I could go take a cold shower.

- Why do I have to shower in cold water? It's cold enough here! - I complain going into the bathroom and undressing.

- Because you're drunk and it's good to take a shower. - I hear her voice on the other side of the door, I hear her going through some things, probably looking for clothes for me to wear.

After my countless complaints, I go into the box to take an unwanted shower. When I turn on the shower I feel the cold water run down my body while I feel a chill.

I take the soap and pass it on my body, I take advantage and spread the shampoo all over my scalp. I finish washing my hair and body and wrap myself in my towel hanging on a wall hook. I open the door and I come across Lisa with my jacket from the band "The Beatles" and a sweatshirt shorts, it looks like she took a shower because her clothes had traces of water.

- You look beautiful in my clothes. It even looks better on you than it does on me. - I say drying my hair with another towel.

- And I think you look better without. - smile.

- You have the gift of making me ashamed, it's not possible! - I sit on the bed.

- You can lie down there! - I would sleep on the couch, but since you insist... - He lays down next to me.

I turn off the bedroom lights and finally the table lamp. I lay down on the bed with my back to the biggest one, I see that she turned to me because I felt her breath on my neck.

I end up turning around too, finding his face closer than I imagined.

- What it was? Do you need something? - I ask.

- Not only wanted to wish you good night. - she takes a while to speak again - Good night.

- Goodnight.

She steals another kiss from me the same night, that position was uncomfortable so I climb onto her lap, we end the kiss with a long peck, I lay down beside her again, my eyes were heavy and my first reaction was to hug Lili's waist and tuck my head between her breasts and fall asleep right there without saying another word.
