27 | FRIENDS

"A true friend is the greatest of all blessings."

[27]

I COULDN'T HELP but keep a smile on my face for the rest of the day after Adam had confessed his feelings for me. We eventually found our way out of the beautiful forest and made our way back to the house.

Lily asked me once we got home last night if I wanted to go shopping with her. I obviously couldn't resist and said yes.

So, now we both stand in front of my mirror, making sure we look okay for the day ahead of us.

"Ugh, I'm so fat!" Lily groans, pinching her thighs. I roll my eyes and shake my head.

"You're not fat, Lily," I say. Lily laughs at me and gives me a playful shove.

"Dude! You're seriously so skinny, you have a thigh gap and everything," Lily yells, pouting her lips. I sadly smile at her and shake my head.

Not by choice.

"What?" She quickly asks. I glance at Lily and shrug my shoulders.

"I don't know..." I answer innocently. Lily grits her teeth out in annoyance and glares at me.

"Don't act all depressed on me now, tell me what I said!" She gently shoves me to the side and sits down on the side of my bed.

"It's just - well, I didn't really have a choice..." I whisper hoarsely.

"Didn't?" Lily asks. I shake my head and wave my hand dismissively. 

"I'll tell you soon." Lily nods her head understandably and smiles at me, our previous conversation gone.

"Okay! You ready? I want to leave and get some new bikinis and - I'm sorry, I'm just so excited!" Lily squeals. I laugh and open my bedroom door, running out but only to collide with a broad chest.

Lily's loud laughter awakens me from my trace of dizziness. A warm hand touches my shoulder, tingles immediately spreading through my body. I smile at the warm fuzzy feeling and look up into the familiar grey eyes I have grown to love.

"Be careful today, Isabelle," Adam whispers. I roll my, eyes at him and smile.

"Sure, sure. Don't do anything stupid, okay?" I ask. Adam smiles and nods his head, pulling me into a hug. My heart flutters at the contact and my smile broadens as the familiar feel of tingles makes their way up my body.

"Oh. My. Gosh! I just got a perfect photo of you two smiling!" Lily squeals. Adam and I laugh and shake our heads in amusement.

"Adabelle!" Lily screams as she runs out the room. I grin at Adam as he does the same, his eyes twinkle with every chuckle that escapes his mouth, creating goosebumps down my body.

"Anyways, have fun with the boys. See you later?" I say quickly, trying to ignore that gnawing feeling in the pit of my stomach. Adam nods his head and winks at me. I laugh and skip out the front door, jumping into the car where Lily is waiting for me.

"You guys are so tuning each other, everyone can see it," Lily suddenly says. I still at the words and my mouth twitches up into a smile, an unforgiving laugh spilling out my mouth.

"Yeah, totally!" I squeal in a high pitched girly voice. Lily looks over at me, a hand twirling her hair.

"Oh, my gosh, Isabelle! You're seriously such a whore, I love it!" I laugh and shake my head. Lily turns the car ignition on and backs out the driveway. I lay my head back on the headrest and close my eyes.
