Chapter 26 [ Promise me? ]

2 Peter 3:9

The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

Im standing at the edge of the bed, staring down at the box in front of me..

Something about knowing that Roman is waiting in the Living Room for me to see what i look like makes my skin itch.. i hear a faint sound of him on the phone as i stay still in my locked room.

His voice sounding angry as usual. Something about me craves to understand why he is so quick to anger all the times,

The craving is quickly replaced with a desire to know more about his relationship with God.. it's obvious something is there with him

Whats that one verse..The one about casting anxieties onto the Lord?

Im taken into a daze as I remember his words.. his gentleness, ive never been treated like that before.. and just by my luck its all from a man who wants nothing to do with me.

How do i always manage to pick the men who desire me the least?

My feet stuck in the same position, I try to suck in every emotion that overwhelmed me..

Every feeling roman made me feel at the restaurant, the emotions i must ignore. There is no space for feelings in a deal like this.

I ask myself only too often, is it worth it? It is worth it to have the money and lose everything else? What will a man profit if he gains the world and loses his soul.

What will my emotions be when i walk down that aisle? Will i even make it that far? The haunting words of Elijah are stuck to my brain like a virus,

She picked you

What could that mean? Because surely its not what I expect it to mean. Elijah is my best friend.. but thats all I ever wanted from him, surely its not possible that he could want more from me.

My fingers dance around the plain brown box, partly scared to open it. To see what secret it holds..

I pick off the little note stuck to its lid, turning it around before i read it aloud in a whisper.

"Luke 8:17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.." I begin,

"Tonight some secrets will be revealed... Are you ready?" It reads... i take a heavy sigh out allowing a brief chuckle to leave my lips...

"I knew you still read the word.." i utter before opening the box in front of me, a mass of dark black silk pops out from it,

I use my fingers to pull the top portion out and a beautiful midnight black gown with a long flowing trail and a one shoulder top with a slight bow on its side fell to the floor in front of me, i gasped at its beauty, it's simplicity...
