CHAPTER THREE! Yay for you. This chapter has a lotta info, so BE PREPARED. Will they finally come clean! Wait, I already know the answer! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I still own nothing but the Smithson family. And this story. It's mine. So, yeah.
"I feel perfectly fine," Lily protested as she sat on the only bench in the park. "Nonsense, I don't want you falling ill again." Lily gestured to the seat beside her. "Sit down. Tell me what you wanted to tell me." Victor nodded and did so. "Lily…this will probably come as a shock to you…but it needs to be said." Victor took a deep breath and wrung his hands nervously. Lily grabbed his hands in her own and he immediately stopped. Silly, she thought. It can't be so horrible that he has to be this nervous! "Lily, I…I think we've been friends long enough for me to tell you the truth." He sighed. "And that truth is, I…I've felt like…like being friends wasn't enough." Lily gasped. Could he…feel the same? Surely it's impossible. "I hope you don't hate me for this, but…I love you." He winced, terrified to hear her response. "Victor…I…" She blinked. No way. Not possible. Absolutely no way…she shook her head. "Go ahead, say it. You do hate me for saying it…I knew it."
"No! Quit the opposite, actually…I love you, too." Lily blushed. "But…what of Victoria? She won't take well to this…" Victor tucked Lily's hair behind her ear and smiled. "I don't care…I love you." Lily's eyes almost watered at his bravery. All of this…for her? She almost didn't believe it. "…how are you going to tell her?"
"I'm not sure…I thought we could think of something…together…" Lily smiled. "That's a great idea." She blushed again. "We…could tell her…together," Lily offered, "it'd be easier that way."
Victor smiled. "You're entirely right, love." He stood up and offered his hand. "Off we go then?" Lily took his hand and stood. "I guess we don't have anything better to do!"
Toldja. That's quite overwhelming, isn't it? Next few chappies should be up in a couple days…R & R until then!
Bye, loves!
