Author note: Okay, I've had a couple requests to update very quickly. So here it is. I really wanted to not post this now, because I am ashamed of the length. But I did want to ask any of the readers out there, how many of you would like to see a chapter from Lily's point of view? If there's a few of you, I can do a chapter with it. I apologize for the shortness here, but I am working on another story with these two in it! I'll update soon, I promise!
"Hey! How are you?" I was looking right at her, and I saw her lips moving, but for some reason, I could not comprehend what she was saying. I didn't want to seem like the stammering fool I was on the phone, so I assumed it was a greeting... let's just hope it was.
"Hello! I'm good. Shall we get going?" She smiled at me and nodded. Good answer, I was right! I shut the door to my house and walked behind her out to the sidewalk. We walked for about 20 seconds in a semi-awkward silence, until Lily started to talk.
"So, still up for a movie? Cause I was thinking we could do that next time, and maybe this time we could just go for a walk and sit at a park, and just talk. Is that okay?"
Next time... She just said next time! Yes, a next time is definitely okay with me.
"Yeah, that'd be great."
I looked over at her and saw her smiling. Which, of course, made me smile back. She linked her arm in mine and I thought I was going to melt into a pile of goo. She was just so sweet! I can't believe she broke down all my defenses, let alone become friends with me before that. We continued in silence for a little bit. But it wasn't awkward. It was the I'm-enjoying-just-being-by-you silence.
