"A Promise is a Promise"
Chapter 2
"Dill?" I asked with astonishment.
The man looked surprised and then stares at me. Now it was his turn to widen his eyes.
"Scout?" I nod my head excitedly. "God Almighty!" Dill then gives me the biggest hug we have ever given each other. "I've missed you."
"I've missed you, too. Please come inside." We walk into the dining room. "Sit down. Make yourself at home. Would you like some coffee?"
"Sure." I walk into the kitchen and I start to make coffee. For some reason, I feel nervous. Why I am, I'm not sure. It has been a long time since we've seen each other. And he has changed. He's gotten taller and. I don't know.
Once the coffee was ready, I poured it into a cup for Dill. And when I walked into the dining room I found Dill staring at my garden.
"Here you go Dill." I pull up a chair next to Dill and sit down.
"Thank you. So how've you been?" Dill asks me.
"I've been okay. I missed you badly, though."
"So have I. I've been planning on coming back to Maycomb so many times."
"But why didn't you?" I was a little hurt that he hadn't.
"I don't know. I guess I was scared."
"I understand. By the way, how did you how know where to find me?"
"Atticus. When I arrived, went over to your old house. I met Atticus and he told me to come here and sure enough, I found you."
"So why did you come back?"
"I missed you, It's as easy as that."
My face turned red with embarrassment. I looked down at the table. I changed the subject quickly. "So where are staying?"
Dill looked surprised. "Lord, I don't know. Maybe I can get a room at the hotel."
"Well why don't you stay here? I got room."
"Okay. Thanks Scout."
I smiled. "You've changed."
"So have you. Since when have you been wearin' dresses."
I laughed. "A long time now."
"Well you look lovely."
"Thank you." I turned red again. Dill was starting to make me wonder about him. He wasn't acting like himself. It made me feel weird.
"Scout?"
"Yeah?"
"I-never mind. I need to go get my things from my car."
"Okay. But where's your car? I didn't see near my house."
"It's at your old house. You know that house brings a lot of memories."
I smiled. "Yes, it does. Those were good times."
"Yeah. Well let's go walk over there."
As we walked over to Atticus's, there were so many things going on in my head. Dill was messing with my head. I couldn't figure him out. I decided I'd call Jem later that day. As I walked with these things in my head, Dill down toward me (he was really taller than I was) and smiled ever so sweetly. I smiled back. As we came to the front door, Dill opened the door and we took our hats off.
"Atticus?" I called out.
"Scout?" Atticus came out of the living room smiling at us. "Hello, Scout. How are you?"
I give him a hug. "I'm fine Atticus."
"Good. So what is the reason for your visit?"
"We just came here to get my car, Mr. Finch," Dill said.
"Oh, well go ahead. I need to go to town. Take care, kids."
"Bye, Atticus," I said as Dill and I head out the door. WE walk over to Dill's car.
"Go on in," Dill says to me as he opens the car door. I nod okay. He gives me a hand, which I take graciously, and get inside. Dill gets in the driver's side and we drive in silence. Once we got to my house Dill helps me out of the car. As I started to walk, I tripped.
"AH!"
"I gotcha," Dill said as he held me. I stare into his eyes. Those beautiful blue eyes I waited 8 years to see. Dill holding me made my back hairs stand up. He then helped me stand up. He asked, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah. I'm okay. Thanks Dill."
"No problem." He gathered his bags in his arms and we walked to my house in silence.
To be continued.
