The Atlanteans Bride

Chapter 2

Lizzie p.o.v

After picking up my washing basket myself and Skylar go into the cabin as Skylar sits down onto the couch I put the basket on top of the counter. I notice that Skylar is nervous about something bit I am not sure what then i sit on the chair across from him. I am not sure what this is about oh maybe he doesn't want to me my friend anymore or maybe........

Skylar - Lizzie are you ok?

His voice beings me out of my thoughts I can see the worried look on his face which feels like he's confirming what I was thinking of but I cant lie  him so I say what's on my mind.

Lizzie - sorry I was just wondering what this could be about could it be that you don't want to be friends anymore?

His eyes widen but I can't look at his face.

Skylar - what?! No Lizzie that's not it at all.

I look right up at him.

Lizzie - so this isn't a friendship break up?

Skylar shakes his head no and I feel my heart so down since it was beating so fast.

Skylar - of course not lizzie, you mean more to me then anything or anyone in this world.

I feel the red rush to my cheeks could this may he actually likes me? Skylar runs his hand though his hair and he's blushing too.

Skylar - that was actually one of the things I wanted to tell you, Lizzie I know you have been though a lot but I would like you to know that I like you as its not just as a friend I have for a while now. I didn't know how to tell you incase you didn't feel the same and it would ruin what we have.

Oh my god he does feel the same.

Lizzie - well I am......I actually like you as well Skylar.

Skylar - you do?

He seems surprised at my confession but the truth is I am more surprised at his I am really relieved that he feels that same but what was the other thing? And what will happen between us now?

Lizzie - I am relieved you feel the same as me I really am but.....

Skylar now  has a saddened expression on his face.

Skylar - but what?

Lizzie - to be honest Skylar I am a little scared that if we go start dating and it doesn't work out it will ruin what we have now.

He sighs then gets up and cones over to me then kneels on front of me.

Skylar - I feel that way too but I am more afraid of not having you in my life at all I am willing to try and make you happy if you are.

Lizzie - oh Skylar that's all I've ever wanted is to be happy but after.....

I freeze my hands start to shake violently Skylar must have noticed it cuz he takes my hands in his causing me to jump a little as I look into his eyes.

Skylar - Lizzie I am not him whatever he done to you I will never do, he was just a goddam coward and I will never let him hurt you again.

I give a weak smile.

Lizzie - can you promise me two things?

He nods his head I want two things for him to promise me.
