We picked a taxi, at least that's what she said, she didn't have a car yet. Never been in a car before and I felt like throwing up but stayed calm. Jennie looked so happy and was telling stories. I couldn't help but wonder if this was her always, she looked so lively, I had noticed that she didn't have any friends in the hotel, but was just casual with everyone else. She seemed awkwardly closer to me and cared about me.
"We are here," she said and the taxi stopped. Paid for the ride and then got out of the car. I wasn't out yet so when she got out she opened it for me and pulled me out immediately. She pulled me along with her running.
" It feels so free here," she said and I nodded. At least this was better than the hotel.
"Stand here, I wanna take your picture" This caught me unaware. I didn't even know how to strike a pose. I looked at her and said no but she begged and I had to accept because she wasn't going to stop anytime soon. But I stood like a soldier, I don't know how to pose and I was not going to struggle because I had refused and she kept on bugging me.
"Do this" she showed me and I nodded my head in refusal. There was no way she was going to make me do that, at least not willingly. Well, I admit atlas I had to do what she told me but I didn't do it willingly. She had taken almost a hundred pictures of me and I was wondering if she was getting tired.
"You have beautiful pale skin just like the Koreans, only that they are slit but you somehow have a bigger body," she said and I looked at her weirdly.
"Are you saying I'm fat?" I asked and she nodded her head quickly in refusal. " You ain't even closer to being fat, I mean look at you with an hourglass body, you have a very beautiful body you know, super gorgeous, no huge boobs, and nothing looks exaggerated in you, beautiful curves and beautiful green eyes, I've never seen anyone with green eyes before, it's very rare, you smile so surely too..... I've been thinking that maybe you look like a goddess" Well, I had just asked one question but it came back with dozens of answers.
"Alright... let's just do what we came here to do," I said pulling her hand as we walked together.
We did a lot of shopping, it was fun, especially trying out new things but the main key theme here was to listen carefully and open your eyes widely. The only boring part was that I had to try on all the clothes that she purchased, put this on, taking them out and she seemed happy sending me on and off the changing room. By the time I was done, I wa more than exhausted. Let's talk about the phone she bought for me, it was just like hers, an iPhone 13promax, that was really expensive, actually the bill for everything she mouth for me was a huge amount of money.
" You don't have to use that much money to buy me things next time okay?... but I'll refund it when I get paid" she looked at me and smiled then her face turned sullen.
"I'm just happy to spend it on someone, what's the use of it when I have no one to spoil though?.... Let's go here's the cab" she left me confused but I followed her to the cab.
Well, the whole car ride she was quiet, and not as I had expected. She's somehow talkative but right now she was sad every time I looked at her she tried to smile or say something funny and then laugh, which maybe I didn't find funny at all. Maybe I had made her sad but just can't think of anything bad I've said, cause the last thing ice said is just that she should be spent a lot of money on me and that was because I didn't want to be a burden to her. The silence continued until we got to the hotel. We went directly to my room because almost everything we were carrying was all my things, she didn't even buy heralds anything at all and that is why probably I felt guilty that II might be spending her money much more than she is.
It was around seven in the evening and we had eaten a lot so we were going to bed. I arranged all the clothes and shoes and everything was in place. She was curled up in the bed in her own world I'm sure she didn't even notice that I was done with what I was doing.
"Hey, are you okay? I asked after getting on the bed and sitting next to her. She nodded her head and smiled.
"No, I'm not gonna believe that, I've just known you for less than three days and I'm sure you are not fine so you can't definitely lie to me... Did I do anything? If so I'm sorry, just please stop being sad" I said calmly but with sincerity.
" Can you not refund the money, it'll make me feel bad if you do so... " she said and I looked at her with blank eyes.
"Why it's your money and I should return it to you... You've done more than enough for me and returning it doesn't mean that I don't appreciate what you have done for me, simply means that I'm grateful and I don't want to be a burden... you can use the money to send your family or do something important to you" I said convincingly.
" I have no one, no family, and I've never had friends before, my mother died some years ago, and all this time I've been struggling to get a life, I wish I had someone else in my family but I always alone, that's why I live here in the hotel instead of a house, I just want you to be my friend that's all, I want someone I can talk to, someone who cares about me, someone I can buy things for, laugh with and someone I can call a sister... If you really wanna pay me then just pay me that way please" she was crying saying all this and I really felt it.
" I want someone to call a family Gianna, tell me is it wrong to ask for that? cause that's all I want? " she asked and I looked at her, if I really had tears i'd be crying with her too.
"It's okay... I'll be that for you... If you want a family then you have one with me... now and always" I said hugging her, she didn't stop crying and her sobs increased.
