Hey! I've been really busy lately and its taken me a while to write this chapter, but I hope you guys enjoy!:)
Lily kissed Chris passionately, her lips crushing hard against his. She could hear the rolling waves of the ocean crash onto the shore of the beach. She could feel the warm glow of the sunset tingle on her skin as she wrapped her arms around his neck. She was in heaven.
However, before she could finish enjoying what was left of her dream, Lily awoke to the blue birds chirping in the distance.
She slowly opened both of her eyes to a bright, morning sun. She inhaled the scent of the pine trees and could feel the cold, dewy grass beneath her fingertips. She had fallen asleep on the grassy knoll where she and Chris had spent the previous night. Happily content with where she was, Lily began to drift off to sleep again when she surprisingly felt a warm hand on her right thigh.
She rolled over to her side, facing Chris, and smiled.
She examined him. The light from the sun contoured every shape of his face. His ocean blue eyes sparkled when he smiled, showing his perfect straight white teeth. She had felt as if he was just a figment of her imagination, but he wasn't. He was real, and he was with her.
God, even in the early morning, he is still perfect, she thought to herself.
"Good morning." He said lightly tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Good morning to you too." She said wearily smiling at him with her eyes half opened.
Morning. Morning. Morning! Oh my fucking god its morning! She thought to herself.
Just then her eyes went wide and she bolted upright. "What time is it?"
Chris took out a gold pocket watch and looked at it. "It's ten am. Why?"
Shit! Grandma's gonna kill me! No! No! She's gonna kill me, bring me back to life and then kill me again!
She quickly put on her sandals and ran down the steep trail to the tree house with Chris following her lead.
"Wait, where are you going?" He said grabbing her arm to stop her.
"Look, Chris last night was probably one of the best dates of my life. In fact it was the only date of my life. However, right now I have to go home, because if I don't, my grandmother is going to put me on the ten most wanted list."
"Well, let me at least walk you home." He said taking hold of her hand.
She looked at him contemplating, "Alright."
He smiled and the two quickly walked the ten minute journey to her grandmother's house.
When they arrived they Lily stopped at the end of the dusty drive way.
She took both of his hands, "Thanks, for a great time last night."
"No problem, I hope we can do it again. I really like you Lily." He said and kissed her cheek.
"I really like you too, Chambers."
She then looked down the road at her grandmother's house, "Well, I gotta go. Bye."
He let go of her hand and waved, "bye. I'll call you."
She nodded and turned around proceeding towards the house. She then stopped and turned back to Chris, looking at him for some time.
Suddenly she ran back to him and kissed his soft, wet lips. She pulled away, "sorry, I just had too…" She then let go of his face and turned, skipping towards to the house.
When she arrived at the door, she turned her head and saw Chris standing there with a dumbfounded look on his face. She smirked and turned back around.
She stood there for a while thinking of all the horrible things her grandma could do to her.
It won't be that bad, will it? I mean she can't murder me that would be illegal.
Lily took a deep breath in and slowly turned the doorknob. She slowly entered the house, the floor creaking with every step she took.
She looked around, it was quiet, and the house seemed to be empty.
She breathed a sigh of relief, Now if I can just make it up to my bedroom, I can make it seem like I was here the whole time.
She began to proceed up the stairs, when she heard a voice coming from the living room.
"Well, how was your night?"
It was her grandmother; she was sitting in a large green chair knitting furiously.
Lily smiled weakly, "Hey grandma…."
She threw her knitting needles onto the chair and stood up straight, eyeing Lily up and down.
"Where in the sam hell were you? Do you realize how worried I've been? I have been sitting in that same chair all night waitin' for you to come home! What happened to I'll be home at ten grandma." She placed her hands on her hips, "I should send you back to your mother from all the trouble you've been puttin' me through!"
Lily looked down at her feet and mumbled, "I'm sorry…"
Her grandmother came closer toward her, "Lily, you're gonna have to speak up! I'm old, can't hear too good!"
"I said I'm sorry." She looked up, tears streaming down her face. "But you've have to know, nothing happened last night that should've happened between me and Chris."
"Now, why the hell am I supposed to believe that?" She asked furiously.
"Cause it's the truth..." She looked at her grandmother straight in the eyes before looking down again.
Her grandmother grabbed Lily's chin and brought her face up. She wiped the tears form her eyes and hugged her.
She sighed, "What am I going to do with you Miss Lily Davis?"
Lily smiled, "I don't know, but I really am sorry. I should have known better."
Her grandma pulled away from her and smoothed her hands through Lily's hair, "It's okay sweetie, but next time you call or tell me okay? Or they'll be real hell to pay!"
She laughed, "okay grandma."'
"Now, get upstairs and freshen up. I have bacon and eggs waitin' on the table for you to eat."
Lily nodded and ran upstairs to her room.
I think I'll go and meet the gang today. See what there up to. She thought to herself as she picked out her fresh smelling clothes.
So far, this has been turning out to be a great summer. I just hope it lasts…
