The Promise (Book Three of the Follow Your Heart Series)

Chapter 9

Char's P.O.V.

This whole week has gone from so so good to flat out bad... David has been sneaking into my room this whole week and you know what we were doing..Wink, wink, nudge nudge... Even when Bree is over....But I think Crystal is getting suspicious...She has been giving me weird looks, ANYtime she sees me... Bree is having trouble with the wedding and is considering just cancelling it all together and eloping....

"Hey babe..what are you thinking about,"David said as we were cuddling on my bed.

"Nothing, really.." I said as snuggled closer to him leaning my head on his bare chest.

"What do you mean nothing really?"

"I mean that I only have a few things on my mind..."

"Like what?" he said as he tightened his grip around my waist.

"Like how I think your sister is on to us, and how you still want me even though I'm still a minor..and lastly about how of a horrible sister I am," I said and his whole body stiffened.

"Why do you think Crys is on to us?" he said in an emotionless tone.

I shrugged and said," Well she has been giving me a knowing look every time she looks at me..."

"Is that all she has done?"

"Yes."

"Then we have nothing to worry about.. and I still love you and always will...even if it is not legal...because love has no time."he said than he kissed me and got up dressed to leave and go run errands.

When he left and I heard the front close I got up and put on some comfy clothes (T-Shirt and baggy sweats) and went to my bathroom to make sure I didn't look like I just had sex. When I was done, I decided that it was time confront Crystal and find out what she knows.

*Knock, Knock, Knock*

"Come in.."

I opened the door to her room, it was very decorated to say the least, it reminded me of Barney...I walked in her room, and closed the door...I sat down on her desk chair next to her bed..

"What do you want?" she said as she closed her laptop and sat it on her bed.

"I just want to know why you have been giving me and David dirty looks??" I said.

"Why did you sleep with my brother?"

"That's none of your business."

"Yes, it is...He is getting married to Bree and you're sleeping with him," she said as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"What you saw was nothing...it was old emotions resurfacing..." I said as I gave her a pleading look.

"Nothing...!Nothing...!You helped my bro cheat on his really nice and awesome fiancé...and you say that it is nothing...and what the hell do you mean 'old feelings'...Did you have a relationship with him??" she said as she was walking around the room with her arms flailing around and air quoting old feelings...

"Yes, we were in a relationship." I said trying to stay calm.

She stopped walking around and look me start in the eye and said, " How long and when were you together??"

"We were together for two years. And when I turned 13 I broke it off with him because things were getting too serious for me..." I said.

"He didn't know you were a minor did he??" she said in a rather calm tone.

"No, and I wasn't going to tell him..." I said in a quiet voice.

"Who is Bree to you...and does she know??" she said as she sat on her bed across from where I sat.
