Lily stood waiting at Mickey's for Travis, Ray and Robbie on Saturday afternoon. Everyone was supposed to meet there at 2pm to discuss what they were doing on Monday night for Victoria day, but no one was at Mickey's yet.
"What are you waiting for?" Mickey asked Lily as she sipped on her third chocolate milkshake.
"The guys. They said they'd be here at 2...but it's almost 2:30 and no one's showed up yet" Lily said sighing and turning around in the swirling chair just as she say Ray and Robbie walking in. "It's about time someone showed up!" Lily said as she jumped off her seat.
"We were waiting for Travis at Robbie's house and he never showed, so we left" Ray said jumping up on a stool to sit down.
"Travis was late?" Lily questioned as she looked at Robbie then at Ray.
"Yes, we phoned his house… his mom said that he was gone out to get something and would just meet us here" Robbie said shrugging.
Lily furrowed an eyebrow and checked her watch again. Travis was never late for anything especially if he said he would be there.
"As long as he shows up." Lily said as she finished sipping on her chocolate milkshake and pushed it away from in front of her.
Ray nodded and then looked from Lily to Robbie "So what were you thinking of doing?"
"Well" Robbie started to say and then let out a little laugh "I was thinking of maybe going and watching some fireworks"
"Sounds good" Ray said nodding a bit and biting his lip.
"Actually, I was thinking that maybe we could go
near the lake to watch them. The stars get really pretty at night around there"
Lily said smiling as she turned around in time to see Travis walk through the
door of Mickey's. He smiled and slid a bag he had into his school bag and
walked over to everyone.
"Travis man, it's about time" Robbie laughed as Travis sat down behind Lily.
"Well, I had some things to do" Travis said
mater-of-factly, "What are you guys talking about?"
"Where were going to see the fireworks" Robbie said and Ray quickly interrupted.
"I think we should go to the lake like Lily said… she's right, the stars look nice at night"
"The lake? That would be… good" Travis said directing most of his attention towards Lily but looked at the other guys quickly and smiled.
"Great! So Monday at the lake then?" Lily asked looking at Robbie and Ray.
"Definitely, around 7 or so?" Ray asked looking back at Lily.
Lily turned to Travis who nodded who in turn looked at Robbie who nodded.
"Awesome" Ray said getting up to leave "I told my
mom I would help her get some of our stuff in order in our kitchen, I'll talk
to you guys later!"
"Bye" Lily, Travis and Robbie said as Lily waved to Ray.
"So, what are you two up to?" Robbie asked looking from Lily to Travis and settling on looking at Travis. There was a silent moment, as no one knew what to say.
"I was thinking of maybe going to the station, and going through some stuff." Travis said shrugging as his hand not so knowingly played with a coaster on the table.
"Cool" Robbie said smiling then getting up "I'm gonna go home and work on some homework so I have the rest of my weekend free"
"Alright! We'll see you Monday!" Lily said smiling as she waved to Robbie.
"Bye" Robbie said as he walked through the door of Mickey's.
Travis slowly moved his arm over Lily's shoulders. No one talked for a minute, but suddenly Lily piped up
"So, do you want to do something?" Lily asked turning to face Travis.
"Sure. I actually got you something. That's what took me so long. I didn't want the guys to know where I was so I told my mom to tell them I went out to get her something. Anyways, I hope you like it" Travis started to go through his school bag when he found the small box. He handed it to Lily and smiled "Here, open it."
Lily looked at the box for a second trying to think of what it was. She sighed inwardly as she opened the box "TRAVIS!!!! You didn't have to. No wait you didn't need to!! BUT thank you soooo much!!!!" Lily said as she threw her arms around Travis. In front of her lay a guitar pick that resembled her very first guitar pick that she ever had. Travis had it made so that a sterling silver chain was going through it, so Lily could wear it.
"I wanted to. I saw it the other day, and since you had shown me the guitar pick that you have that was your first guitar pick, I thought I'd pick it up for you. The guy said that they're very rare and that I'm lucky I found it" Travis said as he hugged Lily back and kissed her cheek softly. He let his hand run through her hair for a second. Lily smiled down at the small box that the necklace had been placed in.
"Can I help you put it on?" Travis offered looking at Lily with his zen filled looking appearing back on his face.
"Of course you can" Lily said smiling as she moved her hair off her neck and watched Travis place the necklace over her neck and do it up. She could feel his breath on her neck and she promptly smiled and turned around to face Travis. She let her hair go back down her neck.
"Lily…" Travis said looking at Lily softly with a slight happiness playing in his eyes.
"Yes?" Lily whispered moving her face closer to his.
"Monday night, after the fireworks, I have a surprise for you" Travis said as he let his lips softly rest of Lily's.
"Travis, you don't have to" Lily whispered as she kissed Travis and smiled. Travis took her hand and kept looking her eyes.
"Once again though, I want to. It will be fun and you'll love it, I promise" Travis smiled and ran a hand over Lily's hair and stood up. He pulled Lily up by her hand and said "So, where are we going?"
