game of deception | jenlisa

xxii.

Lisa feels like she's on cloud nine. Sure it has been a long and eventful day and there were ups and downs but right now as she's with Jennie, everything just seems so perfect.

Ares' words did fill her with doubts and it made her feel so insecure but Jennie just knew the right words and actions to make her feel better both literally and figuratively.

Luckily, it's just the two of them in the cabin so Jennie told her to take a shower first. Jennie let her use her clothes first as well.

"Now you have a reason to come back here." Jennie tells her.

As Jennie was accompanying Lisa back to her own cabin, they come across Irene with some other demigods. Irene immediately excuses herself from her newly made friends to join Lisa. Jennie also excuses herself and tells them to use the time to catch up and Lisa thanks her again before saying goodbye.

Irene brought food before taking her to a tree house right behind the cabin assigned for the children of Eros.

"You guys have a tree house? This is so nice." Lisa says in awe once they get up. The place isn't too big but there's enough space. There were decorative lights and cushions all over the place. It was simple and nice and it even has a romantic feel to it.

Lisa suddenly raises a brow at her best friend. "Wait, this isn't the part where you suddenly confess your undying love to me, is it?"

Irene laughs at first then she pretends to clutch at her heart. "Ouch, rejected before trying." she fakes a cry.

Lisa relaxes before taking a seat on one of the cushions. She laughs it off. "Sorry, you don't usually take me to pretty places like this."

"It's the only place that I can have you to myself." Irene tells her. "I know you and Jennie have a thing going on but you should still make some time for your best friend."

Lisa guiltily looks at her. "I'm sorry... I haven't really adjusted yet. I'll always make time for you Irene, you know that."

Irene smiles fondly at her. "I'm just teasing baby girl." she pinches Lisa's cheek. "You didn't even deny about having a thing going on with Jennie." she cocks an eyebrow.

"Well you can't deny the obvious." she shrugs. "But nothing is official between us. Jennie and I haven't had that talk yet. I'm honestly worried if things are going a bit fast for us."

"Too fast huh?" Irene gives her a look.

"Yeah... it hasn't even been long since we got to know each other and---" Lisa stops when she sees Irene smirking. "What?"

Irene ends up laughing. "Lisa, the only thing that's probably too fast is the way Jennie's fingers thrusts into yo---"

Lisa hits her with a cushion out of embarrassment. "You jerk, I was talking about my status with Jennie. Take this seriously!" she whines.

Irene wipes off a tear due to her laughter, Lisa looks unamused. "Well sorry, I can't take you seriously because you smell like sex."

Lisa stiffens before actually sniffing herself. Irene continues to laugh in amusement. Lisa only smells Jennie on her because of the clothes and the shower gel she used.

"Not literally," Irene clears up. "I am the daughter of Eros and you know how my powers work." she shrugs. "I smell Jennie's pheromones all over you, you are wearing her clothes and let's not talk about your libido."

Lisa blushes. "I... well we didn't go all the way."

"So something did happen!" Irene laughs. "Come on, give me the details. We actually have a lot to catch up on."
