Pinky Promise

Chapter 2 About Us

Garrett's POV

14 years later...

I take a deep breathe in, sucking in that cool fresh mountain air. I let it fill, then cool my lungs just calming my rapidly beating heart from the invigorating activity that has completely consumed my morning.

It's not what you would think was happening.. sadly enough, but it has been an incredibly fun morning to say the least. Lilly and I have been playing disc golf all morning long and into the early afternoon, just enjoying our time together. We went out before the sun rose just to enjoy the sun rise together like we do every single Saturday morning.

"GarBear!" Is heard behind me from Lilly yelling, letting me know what's headed my way. I stop, squatting slightly then bracing my body for the impact, that is my little bestie.

Since we are of course older and bigger I'm now about a foot taller than Lilly. I have my same dirty blonde hair and blue eyes.. but now I'm pretty lanky in my body stature. I have muscles for sure but not bulky muscular by any means. Lilly is still her beautiful stunning self that I have known since day one. Her long dark hair even longer than before. She has curves like a woman should in all the right places, giving her an almost hourglass figure. Her eyes are still the most beautiful part about her, besides her smile. Her eyes just sparkle and with them being big doe eyes you can see every bit of emotion in them, which is usually happiness.. She is a very happy woman for the most part, so she is smiling all the time luckily for anyone around her, which is mostly me..

Of course she doesn't have her lisp anymore since she has all of her perfectly white teeth grown in. Her smile is bright and infectious like it has always been but not just to me anymore, but also to everyone around us.

Her body hits my back like a brick wall, latching her arms and legs around me like some sort of spider monkey to a tree. Her hair flips around us almost like wearing a cape with it's length and thickness, as she lays her head on my shoulder from behind. I wrap my arms around her legs like I always do, just repositioning her so I can continue our trekk across the open land with her attached to me.. Mostly because there is no other way I would like to spend my day.. I don't care how tired I am. There is always time to hold Lilly like the little flower she is.

Once I'm happily adjusted, I take hold of the handle of my disc golf cart that I have to help hold my bag and discs, pushing it in front of me, along the pathway.

Her amazing scent fills my senses as I feel her hug me tighter, I get lost in this moment until she brings me back to reality with her angelic voice in my ear softly saying. "So you never told me how your date went last night GarBear?"

I groan at that, because I honestly never really give anyone else a chance because I know all I want is her.. No one seems to compare to her, but I can't get the guts to tell Lilly how I feel especially after so long.

So I just enjoy our times together and maybe sometime I'll get the guts to say something to her, depending on the situation of course.. Right now I can't even tell her that, because she has a boyfriend as of right now and I hate him with with fiery passion that consumes my soul.

He just uses Lilly because she is so sweet and kind of gullible. While I was out on my date last night, I knew Lilly was working and saw her boyfriend Jaxon out on a date with another girl, frenching her like there was no tomorrow.

I confronted him of course, which he didn't like, but he said he wanted to be the one to tell Lilly.. So I told him I would give him a chance to tell her himself.. but that if he doesn't tell her today then I was going to. I have spent all morning with Lilly and her phone hasn't gone off once.. meaning he hasn't told her yet and the anticipation of, if and when he is going to tell her is getting to me.

"My date sucked.. she didn't get any of my jokes or references and had this blank stare for most of the dinner. I had to make everything very simple to understand, if I wanted any reaction at all from her.. I don't think she had one thought in her pretty little head.. But after dinner, once I dropped her back off at her house, she did kiss me." I explain to Lillith as she says in my ear. "Ooooh a kiss?! I bet she loved that.. At least there was a highlight to your night, that I thought would be so much better." She says to me causing me to shake my head and retort, "Honestly the kiss wasn't good."

"How could the kiss not be good with you? You have the best plump kissable lips ever. If I do say so myself." She says reaching around, squishing my cheeks and lips with her hand as she kisses my cheek softly.

"Well no one seems to kiss like you Lilly.. you ruined me for any other woman.. nothing compares to you." I state to her because she in a way did ruin kissing for me no matter how humorously I made that comment sound.

Lilly was my first kiss.. Lilly helped me out because we both got a party invite in the 5th grade, to our first real boy-girl party and we were told that there would be kissing games to occupy our time.

I was nervous since I had never kissed a girl before and definitely didn't know how. So Lilly decided to help me by practicing with me, being my first kiss and giving me pointers then showing me... and I think it was that moment there, that let me know I was head over heels in love with her.

From the moment her hands touched my cheeks, pressing her soft gentle lips to mine. The way she smelt and tasted was something unforgettable for myself at least. Nothing else has compared no matter how hard I have tried to move on a move past Lilly... Everytime I have kissed anyone else I can only think of her when I close my eyes.

I have even stayed a virgin because I can't see myself doing more than kissing with anyone else besides Lilly.. But since she always has a boyfriend, I have never had a chance to even try to be with her.

That's partly the truth, but at the same time I have had plenty of opportunities to tell her, I just haven't taken them because I'm scared of the rejection and then losing the only best friend I have ever had. I can't see my life without her, so I haven't been brave enough to take the risk of telling my feelings for her to her.

"How could I have ruined kissing for you? You're the best kisser I have ever encountered, but don't tell Jaxon I said that." She says into my ear making me smile pretty big.

"Well she had bad breathe after dinner and the kiss was way too spitty and there wasn't even tongue so I don't know how it got so spitty.. You ruined kissing for me because you're the only one who I feel comfortable doing it with, because you know how to kiss me the way I like.. So no other girl has a chance compared to you." I try to confess slightly to her.

"I think you just don't give anyone else a chance but I can't figure out why.. You're such an amazing guy and you deserve to be happy.. I just wish you would give a girl a chance. Any girl would be lucky to have an amazing man like you by her side." She says so sweetly to me, making me smile once again because that seems to be the effect she always has on me.

"I think I have..." I start to say my confession not caring if she has a man or not.. as I get interrupted once again. As is tradition at this point.. everytime I have gotten the guts to say it. something always happens to stop it..

Her phone is ringing loudly in her pocket as she jumps down from my hold. She takes her phone out of her pocket, answering the call then putting it to her ear.

"Hello?" I hear from behind me as my heart starts to race thinking it might be Jaxon breaking the rough news to her.

I hear her humming in response as she answers back, "Um.. ok.. I'll see you then.. Ok.. I Lov..." is as far as she gets as she looks at the phone realizing she got hung up on.

"Is everything ok Lilly?" I ask curiously, wanting to know what was said... mostly because I'm nosey when it comes to her life.. I have always been involved in every part of her life and I'm going to keep it that way if I have anything to say about it.

"Um.. I don't know.. Jaxon has been acting strange lately.. almost distant, even with his touch and then he took a completely left turn talking about moving in with me because he loves me.. Now he just called and said he wants to talk with me today at his place.. I don't know what about though, but today is our 2 year anniversary, so maybe that's what it is about.. Maybe he is going to ask me to move in with him.. I'm excited to hear what he wants to talk about." She says to me clapping her hands.

I can't help feeling bad for her, knowing what conversation is to come.. because she doesn't deserve this heartbreak and I would tell her right now if I didn't give Jaxon my word.

We continue to trekk across the park and to her place where I spend most of my time anyways. "Hey Garbear, do you think you can help me decide what I'm going to wear to see him before you have to go to work?" Lilly asks me sweetly staring up at me with those big beautiful eyes I love so much.. I don't think I could ever tell her no, just because of that look alone.

"Yea of course Lilly." I send a smile her way as she continues prancing besides me with not a worry in her head at all. "Did you want me to give you a ride over there too?" I ask hoping she will want me there with her for this.

But to my dismay I watch her shake her head. "No that was the curious part. he said I had to come without you.. but he knows how I feel about you so it's just weird that's all." She says making my head flip in her direction.

"What do you mean he knows how you feel about me?" I ask with anticipation in my heart for her answer.

"Well I haven't told you this before.. but the reason I have broke up with some of my ex boyfriends, is because they didn't like me being around you and I told them too f*#king bad because you're going to be in my life forever if I have anything to say about it. So I have broke up with men for you and I warned Jaxon when he had a problem with me hanging out with you that I would dump him for you in a split second So don't push my buttons with that subject." She says this with so much sass making me smile even bigger.. I had no idea she had a choice of her new guys or me and she told the new guys bye.

"Awe you love me?!" I say mockingly to her as she smiles up at me playfully elbowing my side retorting, "Of course I love you dork.. You're my everything." This comment alone makes a smile appear on my face that not even she could slap off.

We get to her place as she unlocks it for us to enter. I shut the door behind us as I ask. "So what are you planning on wearing tonight? You don't stink too bad at all actually, even after our long morning so I wouldn't worry about a shower." I say with humor in my voice as she scoffs and flips me off.

I watch her flip off her shoes, walking into her room and waving for me to follow her and of course I would follow her anywhere if she asked. I plop down onto her bed grabbing her book that's laying on here and flipping through it while sitting back, as she starts the music that fills the silent room. She sings the words to the song, walking to her closet and picking a couple of outfits out to pick from.

I watch her grab her shirt at the bottom seam. pulling it up and exposing all of her upper body to me besides what's under the bra that's on. She tosses her shirt to the dirty clothes hamper. She gets undressed in front of me almost everyday because of the close relationship we have always had.

I just sit back checking our her stunning features that are in my line of sight, I can't help but gawk at her gorgeous body.. I wish I could touch every last inch, having fun with it all.. but no matter how many times I have seen her body I have never disrespected her, by touching without her consent. I love her too much to do that.. Anyways if she does anything with me I want to make sure she doesn't regret one bit of it.

She then undoes her button on her pants pulling them down, stepping out then throwing them to the dirty clothes hamper as well. I just find my eyes trailing all over her voluptuous curves. I look away and clear my throat hoping I don't look like a creeper to her at all. I just love everything she has to offer.

"Do you think that you getting undressed in front of me and walking around me in your bra and underwear might have something to do with your ex boyfriends not wanting you to be around me?" I ask almost playfully as I hear her scoff from across the room.

She grabs an outfit as she slightly turns around and replies, "You have seen me in a bikini plenty of times what's the difference between that and this?" she asks pointing at her bra.

"Well for one thing those are see-through and I know bikinis are not.. but also that's a thong and not a full bottom like with a bikini.." I explain to her as she glances back at me again and states, "Well if you don't like it or I'm bothering you Gary, just tell me." She says as I seem to just stare at her plump bubble butt shaking my head. "No it doesn't bother me one bit actually, I was just wondering if that was part of the reason why.. because of how comfortable you are with me." I explain to her still enjoying the view before me.

I watch Lilly shrug her shoulders as she retorts back, "I honestly don't care what any man thinks about you or our relationship, because I will never get rid of you.. you really are my everything and you know I would do anything for you."

I smile big and respond without hesitation, "You know I would do anything for you too Lilly."

She slips on a dress and spinning around in it.. letting it cascade around her body then back to where it's suppose to hang. It's a casual but comfy looking dress that accents all of her curves perfectly since it is tight under her bust and flares out from there.

"How does this look? Or should I wear this one? I'm just nervous for whatever reason.. I'm just getting a strong gut feeling and I don't know why.. but I just need to look perfect." She says to me as I state to her, "You always look perfect.." She gives me a look that says give me an actual answer, so I continue. I roll my eyes at the fact that she doesn't believe my honesty.. so I answer honestly. "The dress you have on looks way better than the dress that is in your hands so just keep that one on."

She smiles big spinning back around putting her other clothes ideas back into the closet. She bends over reaching down into the bottom of her closet for a pair of shoes. My eyes trail up her thighs and staring at the little bit of butt I can see.

She is just beautiful in every way and I don't know how she has such trouble with her guys.. but maybe it will all work out in my favor. She slips on her shoes as she fixes her hair and make-up still singing the music.

I stand up and stretch out above me, closing my eyes tight yawning. I feel arms wrap around my torso, gaining all my attention so I look down to see it's Lilly of course. "Thanks for your help. I hope you have a good night at work." She says into my chest. I wrap my arms around her pulling her into me more, just wanting to hold her against me forever.

"You know it's not problem at all, if you change your mind and want a ride then let me know.. I probably have to go get ready for my shift anyways." I state as she smiles up at me still not letting me go, but I don't mind one bit, I'll hold her as long as she will let me.

She breaks her hug as she stands on her bed so we are face to face. "Love you Garbear. I hope you have a great night. I'll text you and let you know what's going on with Jaxon when I hear." She explains to me as I nod at her not caring about Jaxon only caring about her.

She wraps her arms around my shoulders as she leans in and pecks my cheek. I wrap my arms around her frame holding her to me as I say into her ear, "I love you more Lilly." I kiss her cheek as well. I feel her grip loosening around me to my dismay as I reluctantly let her go.

I step back from her, waving as I leave the house before I do anything to cross line with her. I need to get ready for work anyways.
