Chapter Five
"Lily..." The way he whispered my name, it sent shivers up my spine. It was as if he wanted only me to hear what he was saying. Like I was the only person in the world that mattered. The way he said my name made me feel like I was on top of the world. And I loved that feeling.
"Yes Travis?" I looked at him and saw something I didn't like. It was doubt. It was confusion. It was all the thing's I had hoped had vanished. I looked at him questioningly. I finally mustered up enough courage to speak. "You don't feel the same way, do you? I don't believe it! Here I am pouring my heart out to you and you don't feel the same way! I am so stupid! I should have known!" I realized that I was talking more to myself than I was to him but I didn't care. I paced back in fourth in front of him until I felt a pair of strong hands grip my shoulders.
"Lily, it's not that. It's just...I need some time to think. Please. For the past two years I've been trying to get my mind off of this. I can't just start up again exactly were we left off." I felt like he had kicked me in the stomach. I thought I was going to throw up. But I understood where he was coming from so I simply nodded. I took a few deep breaths to calm down my stomach. "Are you alright Lily?"
"Yah, I'm fine. But while you're thinking about it I also want you to think about this." I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled his face closer to mine. The instant his lips met mine I felt a familiar rush that I hadn't felt since we last kissed. His hands cupped my face as he pulled me deeper into the kiss. My mind turned to mush and I had to lean on Travis just so I could stand. I was so happy because for the first time we could kiss without anyone getting upset over it.
As we pulled away I felt a cold gust of wind gush over me and couldn't help but feel empty and numb. I looked up at him and saw a look of complete and utter shock on his face. His eyes were wide and his mouth was slightly open. His face was pink from lack of air. I slightly jumped when his eyes quickly darted to me.
"That was...did we just...I-I give you my answer tonight...Mickey's, eight o'clock. Is that okay with you?" I waited a moment before I answered. I was replaying what had just happened over and over in my mind. I couldn't believe that I had just done that. I broke out of my trance and looked up at him.
"Uh, eight o'clock. Sure, I'll be there." As Travis walked away I checked my watch. Six hours, ten minutes and counting. This was going to be a very eventful day. Yup, yes it would.
