CHAPTER 33: "This I Swear." ✋️😊💙

The next day, I arrived home finally from my flight.

Despite feeling the jet lag, I set my travel bag in my room and went over to plop down onto my king size bed.

I sighed in relief while allowing my body to get use to lying on my own mattress again. I was so close to drifting off to sleep but that's when I remembered.

"Right, I need to call Skye..." then I sat up and pulled out my phone, all I have is her Instagram right now so I decided that I'll video call her on there.

I held the phone out while I waited for the girl I have feelings for to answer. I saw myself on the screen of the phone when the video call was ringing.

For a bit, I used the screen of the video call as a mirror while I fixed my dark, short hair a bit then rested my hand behind my head, chilling.

Then the video call revealed that Skye didn't join the video call after ringing 14 times.

Since she didn't answer the first time, I tried again, calling her for the second time.

No answer.

I video called her for about five more times until I decided to give up and set my phone down as I stroked my hands down my face, stressfully.

I let out a soft sigh as my lips curled down some "I guess I did got her upset after all......."

I'm fully aware that she told me she wasn't upset but for some reason I felt like she only said that to make me feel better when deep down, she probably was upset and disappointed.

I just knew I had the right to beat myself over the fact that I canceled our second date. I felt angry with myself and at the same time, felt so close to being at the verge of developing tears.

So I decided to lay on my side, letting my eyes rest to probably sleep away the guilt. I slept for about 13 minutes until I heard my phone ringing.

This caused me to wake up while I slowly sat up, rubbing my eyes and let out a yawn as I reached over to grab my phone.

I saw that it was Skye Blue calling back!

The sleepiness instantly wore off and I quickly answered the video call and saw Skye appear on the screen.

She soon spoke up "Heyyy Ryan! I'm sooooo sooooo sorry for not answering straight away! Sorryyyyyyy.........I left my phone charging while I was out. I promise I wasn't avoiding you" she said apologetically.

I could tell by the look on her face that she felt bad. I was relieved to know that she wasn't upset with me or angry.

Taking in a deep breath, I smiled softly to her

"Oh no, no it's cool, I kind of figured you were busy or something.." I said.

Actually no, as you read, I was mentally beating myself up with guilt and assumed that she was upset but I didn't want to tell her that.

"Yeah, I was out on a little errand but I'm back. So how are you?" Skye asked me while flashing me that lovely, delightful smile.

I kept my warm gaze on her and replied "Better now that you're here on my screen, haha" I cooed.

Skye can be seen placing one hand over her chest "Aaaawee, Ryan that's sooo sweet!" She said with her adorable, flattered smile.

My cheeks warmed up causing the blush to creep in "Yeah. I just wanted to call and let you know that I would love to make it up to you. I know you stated that you weren't upset. But I was, cause so badly I wanted to spend more time with you since I enjoyed our last date"

"Aaawe, poor babyyy" Skye teased playfully while she giggled softly.

"I'm serious. Deep down, it was killing me that I killed our second date.....It made me feel guilty..." I lightly frowned.

Sweetly she responded "No, don't be silly. You have absolutely nothing to be guilty about. It's not like you stood me up. If you did then clearly I wouldn't be speaking to you like I am now" She reasoned.

Honestly this was something that I really needed to hear because she has a very valid point. All the guilt I had suddenly poofed away as a smile appeared on my face.

"You're right. Thank you, Skye. I needed that." I said sofyly while feeling comfort.

"Of course! And you're welcome! So if you want we could meet up next week at AEW? I don't have any matches but I plan on talking to Tony about my future booking for the next show." Said Skye.

Without hesitation I replied "Yeah! I would love that very much. Also, from now on, I promise not to cancel ANY of our dates again. This I swear..." I spoke sincerely while I held up my pinky for her to see and brought it to my chest as I gently rubbed it in a circular motion.

Skye then added out to me "UNLESS if you have an emergency or if something important comes up, I'll understand always. As long as you don't keep me hanging without a word, then we're fine"

I smiles to her more on the screen "Then it's a promise! I'll never keep you hanging or stood you up, I swear it. We'll both have an awesome date together, just the two of us" I spoke with commitment.

Skye replied gleefully "Yup! Just the two of us. I look forward to next week"

I chuckled softly hearing how enthusiastic she is which us undeniably cute. "I'll see ya then my precious bluebell" I cooed once more.

For almost two hours in a half, we were both talking non stop, I was making her laugh and she of course gets a laugh out of me.

It felt so good to talk to somebody who makes you feel like a better person, makes you smile and so understanding, I never wanted our conversation to end.

After we both chatted on the video call, we said our goodbyes and hung up. I felt a lot better knowing that we will meet up with each other next week!

I tried going to sleep but it was easier said than done, I've done nothing but toss and turn while having Skye in my thoughts and my heart beats steady for her every time.

I can hardly wait to see my precious bluebell again.
