I Pinky Promise { Baylor Barnes }

Chapter 23 Sweet Home Alabama

-Isebelle-

"That's my name." I chuckle slightly.

My hands where all calmed up. Nobody, not even myself knows how nervous I am. What if he says no? I did tell him I wouldn't come...but still. He probably hates me.

He stands up and helps me with my bag. He still hasn't said anything since he's said my name. Of course, I'm just a suck up bitch. My stomach starts doing more twist and then he's eyes meet mine. He looks confused. And I can tell why.

He sits down by the window and I sit on the the other side, leaving a seat between us. I see in the corner of my eye he is looking at me. Shifting in my seat awkwardly I pull out my phone, realizing why I'm here again.

Kelley talked to me, like nobody has before. She really made me think about all the decisions I've made. And I've completely realized that I was wrong and she was right. I do have feelings for Baylor but I just won't admit it.

But I will.. sometime...maybe.

"I'm home!" I shout. I'm scared of what my mom is going to say. But before I know it I smell her perfume and I'm embraced in a hug

. "Don't leave us again. Not right now at least." She's crying. I can't help but cry too.

"I'm sorry mom... I just... I just ran away, I ran away from my problems and I just didn't want to admit things. But Aunt Kelley told me different.. and, mom... I- I-"

"Go get him."

And thats the moment, I was ready to admit, that I, Isebelle O'Conner, was in Love with my best friend.

-Baylor-

She came back. We didn't talk. And then she left again. And I thought it was going to be different.

I thought wrong again. Deciding not to call the boys to tell them Izzy was back, I just laid there, on my couch, looking depressed. I do wish everything was back to normal, at least. Both of us best friends and just living life to the fullest. But it looks like that's not going to be happening anytime soon.

I'm about to turn the channel, but my door bell rings. I grunt and sit up walking over to it. I swing it open and before I can get a good image of her, her lips are on mine. A little taken back, my eyes widen, but close soon enough.

The butterflies in my stomach explode and it starts doing loop turns. Just like the past times. She always makes me feel like this.

She pulls away. Looking at me helplessly. "I'm sorry. I am Baylor, I am. I just, fuck, I don't know... I want to be with you. And you were hundred percent right. I didn't want to except it. But then I talked to Kelley and she made me think differently again. I finally realized I needed to accept the fact that I'm in love with my best friend and didn't know how to say it. I'm sorry again Baylor. I just, I love you." She is crying, tears are falling down her cheek like a waterfall. But there happy tears.... and there for me.

I can't help it... I bring her in close. Wrapping my arms around her waist. Her hands on my chest. I make our noses touch and she giggles. I watch her eyes flutter shut, and her lips just waiting. "And you, don't know, how crazy I am about you." I close the space between us so our lips are connected again. If only we could stay like this forever.

I move my arms so there around her legs and pull her up onto my waist. She starts giggling some more. The good type of giggling that can drive you insane. I start walking outside and carefully down the step. Trying not to lose my balance I keep on walking towards my backyard. Yes, stilling kissing her.
