THE PROMISE

Chapter 9: Let's take a chance together

I know that my love for you is real
It's something true that we do, just something natural that I feel
When you walk in the room, when you're near
I feel my heart skip a beat, the whole world disappears

And there's just you and me
Falling head over feet
Let's take a chance together

I know, I know, I know, I know
We gonna make it
'Cause no one else can make me feel
The way that you do, I promise you
I know, I know, I know, I know
We gonna get there
Today, tomorrow, and forever
We will stay true, I promise you

JUNE 2009

MILEY'S POV

Nick and I were sitting on the couch of our living room. My dad left a while ago for a 3 day seminar in New York. I asked Nick if he could keep me company tonight since I'll be all alone.

I don't know what happened and how it happened but Nick kissed me out of the blue. I felt his soft lips on mine and I felt them move gently against mine, they were so sweet and I can't help but kiss back. He pulled me closer and the kiss got deeper, getting our tongues involved in our little act of intimacy. We both pulled apart when air is needed but it felt heart breaking, I wanted to kiss him again and feel his lips mould with mine like missing puzzle pieces but my mind was telling me the opposite thing. I pulled away more and I saw his change of expression.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that. Oh crap."

I looked in his eyes and for the first time, I don't know how to read his feelings right now.

He moved closer to me and caressed the side of my face. I can tell he got nervous by the way he touched my face.

"I know this is weird but I have to say it. I think I... I like you more than a friend. No, I think I love you. Ughhh, it sucks because I don't know what to do..."

"Nick..."

I think he didn't hear me because he didn't stop his rambling.

"But I just want you to know. I'm sorry I kissed you. You're just so damn cute, beautiful, and adorable. Oh my God, did I just say that? If this is freaking you out? Just tell me, I'll do my best to control my feelings just to save our friendship."

That's it, I thought. I crashed my lips on his and held him tight. Our lips parted and being the gentleman he still is, he didn't slip his tongue in my mouth. We just tasted each other's lips. Damn, his lips tasted so sweet that I want to suck on them until it go sore. I pulled away before I could vacuum his lips with my own ones.

"Shhh, let's give it a try."

Nick smiled and gave a sigh of relief. I wrapped my arms around his waist and he did the same thing to me.

Nick and I were lying on my bed. He'd called his mom that he'll be staying with me tonight. So here we are, lying on my bed, making out. Didn't you see that coming? The second I felt his mouth all over mine, all I wanted is to kiss him every damn minute in my life. God, his sweetness is intoxicating and his touch makes me shiver. I didn't think Nick and I would end up this road. I always thought of him as my brother but I know deep inside that our friendship is deeper than we both expected, I mean, I always think that he's more important than any other friends or boyfriends I had.

We both pulled apart and panted. I laughed and leaned my head on his chest. I am enjoying this so much. The thought that I'm making out with my best friend sent me to a wild and naughty state of mind.

"Oh God, I didn't think we'd do this crazy stuff."

"Me too, I've never felt like this before. I've never felt like kissing a girl all day if that was possible."

"Honestly, I never thought we'd be kissing this way, but you're so damn..."

I leaned in and slipped my tongue in his luscious mouth, tangling it with his, I can't help it! He's so kissable. Damn, he tastes so damn delicious; I'd kiss him all night.

After breaking the kiss, he pulled me up so we would be facing each other and he caressed my cheek. He stared at me as if I'm a precious stone or something, and it made me blush.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"You're so beautiful, I can't believe I didn't pay attention this much to you for the past years we've been together."

"Thank you."

"Do you want to go on a date with me tomorrow?"

"That sounds good."

I leaned on his neck and enjoyed his scent. He ran his fingers through my hair till I fell asleep. I seriously love this day.

We were walking towards the entrance of the Carnival. We both know we love adventurous rides like roller coasters and everything so we ended up here.

We went to the lovers' tunnel first. It was a boat ride to a tunnel with a nice melody of romantic music. We hopped in the boat and sat next to each other. He wrapped his arm protectively around my waist as the boat moved. I pulled out my camera and snapped some pictures.

"Well, this is nice."

I looked sideways and saw him leaning in for a kiss so I brought my lips to his. Few seconds later, the boat slid down, stating that the flooring isn't even. We both pulled away and grabbed on the handles of the boat as our boat slid down again.

"Oh my God, I thought this would be a romantic tunnel with music, dim lights, and even flooring."

My heart jumped when the boat slid down again, and again... Oh God, I wanna get out of here.

When we got out, Oh thank God, I thought we won't be able to get out! We went to ride the roller coaster, the wild river, octopus, bump cars, and lastly, the Ferris wheel.

Nick and I sat beside each other in the Ferris wheel as we goofed around, taking pictures and enjoying the view. He pulled me close and kissed my cheek.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Aren't you asking already?"

I giggled and he pouted at me. I get this giddy feeling and butterflies in my stomach when he pouts at me.

"Awhhh, you're so cute!"

I pinched his cheek and took a photo of him swiftly. He took the camera from my hands and kissed me.

"I feel sorry for myself because I can't resist you."

I laughed and he did too.

"So what is the question?"

"Uhm... Do you want... Errr... Would you..."

He continued rambling and I kissed him gently to shut him up.

"Yes! I want to be your girlfriend!"

He smiled widely at me and I hugged him tight. He hugged me back and kissed my cheek before he took my hand in his. He grabbed something from his pocket and pulled out a silver bracelet.

"I know you lost your mom's bracelet so I bought you a new one. It's a charm bracelet."

He wrapped the bracelet around my wrist and locked it. I examined the charms; there was a key, a heart, a tiara, a ballerina, a music note, a dog, a bike.

He picked the charms one by one, explaining its meaning.

"The key is a cheesy thing that symbolizes that you hold the key to my heart. The heart symbolizes your perfectly good heart. The tiara means that you're my Princess. The ballerina symbolizes how a great dancer you are. The music note is for your music obsession. The dog means you're an animal lover. The bike means nothing, really."

I was nearly in tears but I laughed-real hard on the meaning of the bike charm. He sure knows how to make me laugh.

"It's just that I needed another charm and the bike looked cute and it reminds me of our bikes."

I smiled happily and kissed him lovingly.

"Thank you. I love it so much."

"Wow, I've never seen that smile for a very long time."

"What smile?"

"That smile you're wearing, it's your genuine smile, it signifies you're really happy."

"Wow, you're a geek."

"I'm your geek!"
