Chapter 36
The Exiled Ice Princess
Ding dong.
Ding dong.
The sound of the doorbell stirred the two ladies back to reality.
“Ugh Room Service.” Jessica growled, still wrapped tightly by Taeyeon’s arms.
“Don’t worry babe--uhm.. I mean Sica-ah. I’ll go get the door. Just rest a bit more.”
Taeyeon blushed after mentioning ‘babe’ accidentally. She was hoping that Jessica did
not catch it, it was just so embarrassing. Gosh. Taeyeon slid smoothly away from the
resting Jessica, doubling her pace to flee her reddish cheeks. Successfully escaping
Jessica’s perimeter, Taeyeon then slid out of the bed and minced her way through the
door, stopping midway to hear Jessica’s voice.
“Okay sure. Thanks....babe.” and Jessica chuckled after mentioning
the word of endearment. Taeyeon’s hope earlier shattered like a fragile glass. She could
only bit her lip and walk the remaining steps away to hide her embarrassment.
After receiving the food and the clothes, Taeyeon then prepared the table, arranging
everything neatly. Several minutes later, all was set. She traced down the steps toward
the bedroom to notify the princess. However, she didn’t found Jessica’s body laying on
the bed, but rather on a sitting position at the edge, her back facing Taeyeon, with a
phone held beside her ear. Clearly, the girl didn’t notice her presence since she was
still immersed in her phone conversation. Turning her heels, she was about to give
Jessica some privacy when she heard Jessica mention her name. She didn’t mean to
eavesdrop but then the topic of the conversation got her curious.
TAEYEON’s POV
“Mm Soojung-ah, I’m with Taeyeon right now.... Yes I’m fine... Oh we just took
a nap a while ago..... Yes it was really good.... I was finally able to sleep
in peace, even though it was only for a couple of minutes.....”
Sleep in peace? What is Jessica talking about?
“Yes Soojung-ah, no more tears this time....”
Why would Jessica cry? Wait.... Is she crying herself to sleep all this time?
“Well, I don’t know for sure if my nightmares are still occurring since I only
took a nap. Maybe after I sleep tonight, I can tell you tomorrow.”
Nightmares? I thought she was not that troubled all along?
“Yes, Soojung-ah. Thank you sis for worrying. Mm... Love you too. Bye!”
When I heard Jessica bid her goodbye to Krystal, my consciousness immediately
snap itself back to reality. Before Jessica notices my eavesdropping presence, I
spoke to her first with a smile plastered on my face, hopefully she won’t notice
that I was here long enough.
“Sica-ah, dinner’s ready. Oh and by the way, I ordered wine. Hope it’s alright.”
Jessica turned her back to me when I called her. Her expression unreadable. She’s with
her poker face right now. I hope she haven’t noticed that I have listened to her
conversation with Krystal. And then she smiled. Hoooh! Relief filled my entire soul.
“It’s perfect Taeyeon-ah. Let’s go.” she stood up and walked towards me.
She grabbed my hand and dragged me to the table.
Jessica seated opposite me, we’re now face to face with each other. Looking at her
face, I felt somehow happy. No scratch that, I am really happy. Being able to freely
watch her while grabbing food and eating peacefully is what I have long dreamed of.
However, her conversation with Krystal keep on replaying on the back of my head.
My own thoughts, questions, worries, and self-blame got me hooked and again
drowned me to my own chaotic world.
“Taeyeon-ah.. Are you alright?”
Jessica’s words snapped me back to reality again. She’s quite effective huh.
“Yes, Jess.. Uhm of course.”
“Really? Well you’re face says otherwise. Don’t lie.”
Jessica’s honest response got some strings in my heart twitch.
She’s still the same Jessica; honest, direct, and caring. And this got me opened up to her.
“You haven’t changed.” I said with a chuckle.
“Funny, you also said the exact opposite earlier.” Jessica said while putting down her fork.
It’s a sign that she wants no more bull pretensions from me.
“Okay, guilty as charged. I’m just thinking of some...things.”
“What things?”
“You don’t have to worry about it. Let’s just eat okay?”
Clearly not happy with my answer, Jessica looked at me for several seconds, and then
continued to eat. It’s quite fascinating that she just obeyed me instead of prying more,
but she’s Jessica, who knows what she’s thinking deep inside.
The silence grew louder and louder. Our table is now wrapped with a very awkward silence.
Jessica’s silent treatment got me guiltier and more troubled deep inside. The guilt came
rushing over my system whenever the thought of Jessica crying in bed every night appear
in front me. She was never able to sleep peacefully because of me.
She keeps on having nightmares because of me.
And before I knew it, a tear escaped from my glassy eyes.
Jessica never seemed to notice it since her eyes were fixed on her plate and so I
immediately wiped it off. Another wishful thinking...
“Honestly Taeyeon, are you in some way bipolar?”
Her question stunned me for a while. Her randomness seems to all the words
in my head, making it hard for me to respond.
“We were fine. We smiled to each other, talked like normal people do.
And now you’reall silent, face frowned. And now crying?
Seriously Taeyeon, your means of getting me pissed is really effective.”
Jessica’s eyes were now fixed on me. She’s really pissed at me right now. I don’t know what to say.
Silence engulfed us again. Clearly not amazed to the coward Taeyeon, Jessica stood up.
“I really thought that this night would go well. I thought we could catch up and maybe,
just maybe, heal each other. But you know what? This night is a mess,
I’ll just head home.”
Seeing Jessica start her way to the couch to fetch her bag, the guilt inside me reached its limit,
making me burst out.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry Sica.”
Jessica looked over her shoulder, back still facing me.
“It’s easier said than done. You always say you’re sorry but you’re not. And now
I’m beginning to think that the word sorry is now loosing its essence, thanks to you.”
“Yes... I know.. But this time it’s for a different reason.” she turned to face me.
Her eyes fixed now fixed on mine. Her face somehow softened.
“What?”
“We all know that sleep is really precious to you. I’m deeply sorry for
taking it away from you.”
“So you’ve heard.”
“Because of me you’re crying every night in your sleep. Because of me you
have nightmares. Because of me you’re troubled. I’m really sorry Sica.”
And before I knew it, Jessica already has her arms wrapped around me.
“Well, It’s not entirely your fault why I cry myself to sleep every night. And now
I get it why your mood suddenly changed. It was because of the phone call.”
She whispered while tightly wrapping me in her warm hug. I was expecting that she’ll continue
to walk out on me but she didn’t. She listened to my words. And accepted me again with her
warm hug. If this type of girl can’t make you fall head over heels, then I don’t know what is.
She’s everything that I could ask for. I really love this girl.
I unwrapped the hug, though we’re still standing close to each other.
The moment got us both stare at each other’s eyes.
With soul breakdancing due to extreme happiness, and heart fluttering with all it’s might,
I closed the distance between us.
And just like how I pictured myself, I cupped her face with both my hands and rain passionate
kisses on her sweet lips. I swear the moment that my lips brushed on hers, I felt like fireworks
were displayed at the background. I felt like I was finally rewarded after the long and exhausting
journey I’ve been through. All those pain and hardships were worth it.
Just a kiss from Jessica made everything worth it.
Breaking the kiss to catch both our breaths, I heard Jessica say, “I love you.” while staring at me.
And I love her too. Not needing words to express my response, I catched her lips again with mine.
This time, hunger dominated. And I found myself pushing her back against the wall.
Once her back was on the wall, I once again claimed her mouth with an occasional kiss, nip,
and on her neck. I heard her moan. And because of her arousing sounds, and her nails
scratching at my back, I knew I hit the right spots.
I felt her fiddle with my shirt. Her hand snaking at my bare back, rubbing and scratching.
And I swear, this got me more aroused. My hands continued to trace her body line, resting
for a good number of seconds at the side of her s, and earning low groans from her.
I s my hand underneath her shirt and rubbed her abs. Another moans from Jessica.
She liked it here huh. I mentally chuckled and continued to dominate her mouth with mine.
We continued like this for minutes, building more heat between us when I heard
Jessica say between our kisses....
“Bed. Now.”
