Once in Forever

Chapter 6

We fell asleep and when I awoke it was three and I was sleeping on his stomach. I must of moved because he woke up too.

"What time is it?" he asked while wiping his eyes.

"About three." I responded. I sat up and grabbed my bag.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Changing."

"Why?"

"Because, I'm uncomfortable in my jeans."

He smiled and grabbed two pillows from his bed. I changed in his closet and came out with different pants on. I then laid down next to him and he pulled me closer.

"Grace," I looked at him. "What about Devon."

I let go a breath and just stared at him. "I'm not sure," I paused. "I feel like I ruined everything."

"Can we keep this between you and I only?" Miller asked.

I thought about it and then smiled. "Sure, but what if he finds out?"

"He won't," and then he kissed my forehead.

"This is wrong though," I responded.

"I know," he said.

"Then no more."

He looked at me and grunted. I don't think he liked the idea of me going back to Devon. In a way I didn't either. I was starting to like Miller in a more then friends way. I felt bad for leading him on and for everything else that I did. We fell asleep and when we awoke it was about ten in the afternoon. I got up and changed into my jeans. We walked downstairs and made ourselves some breakfast.

"Morning," Kate said.

"Good morning," Miller and I responded.

"I'm going to work so make sure you do your chores Miller,"

"Okay mom,"

"Grace, it was nice to see you."

"Same to you! Thanks for having me over," I responded.

"Not a problem." She left and I grabbed my bag and brushed my teeth.

"I have to go," I told Miller.

"Already?" he asked.

"Yeah, my moms waiting for me."

"Okay," he hugged me and we said goodbye and I got into my car and he waited on the porch to make sure that I was safe leaving.

I got about a block from my house and took a deep breath. I got home and my mom was at work so I called her.

"Hello?" she asked.

"Hi mom, I want to tell you that I'm home."

"Okay. That's good that you're safe. Please don't ever do that to me again."

I didn't respond.

"Grace," she repeated.

"I know, well I have homework so goodbye."

"Bye." she responded. We hung up and I set down my phone. I then heard the doorbell ring. I opened it and standing there was Devon.

"Thank goodness you're here!" he exclaimed while giving me a big hug. It reminded me of the one Miller and I had.

"Yup, all here."

"Where did you go?" he asked.

I hesitated. "A friends house." I said while turning away from him.
