The Promise He Made.

Chapter 12

I began to calm down enough to breath right and stop crying. Miguel kept his arms around me. I stared at my alarm clock that read 6 in the morning. "Do you want me to move?" I asked dryly.

"No." He said. I looked up at his eyes to see him staring at me. I gulped and looked back at the clock.

"Please don't ask," I said scared he was going too.

"I won't." He said. I sighed while closing my eyes. "Try to get more sleep." He said. I looked up at him. "Don't worry. I'm going to stay right here." He said. I nodded and closed my eyes. He pulled the blankets up and wrapped them around me.

Miguel's P.O.V

I stare down at her as falls back to sleep. I took a deep breath. "What are you doing to me?" I asked quietly.

When 9:30 came around she woke up. But this time she wasn't breathing heavily or crying. She opened her eyes and I smiled. She smiled back. I bent down and kissed her forehead. "Are you ok now?" I asked softly. She nodded.

"Thank you." She whispers. She began drawing circles on my chest with her finger.

"I'm not going to ask about it. But I do hope you will trust me enough someday to tell me." I said staring at her TV which was off.

"Maybe." She said. She took two deep breaths and looked up at me. "Are you hungry? Gale makes the most scrumptious pancakes." She said with a smile. I chuckle at her.

"Are you going to wake him up just for him to make you pancakes?" I asked. She shakes her head.

"For some reason, he's always up around this time." She said sitting up. I place my hands on her thighs which causes her face to go a tint of pink. "Stop." She said softly. I smile. I moved my hands to her waist and she closes her eyes. "You're making this very difficult." She said in a whisper.

"Making what difficult?" I asked. She looks at me with a smile.

"I'm not telling you." She said. I sit up causing her to cradle me. I lean my back on the backboard and stare at her. "You are just trouble." She said.

"Yeah, maybe. But you like it." I said. She rolls her eyes. "What? Not going to deny it?" I asked. She shakes her head.

A knock comes from the door and Violet opens it. She stares at me then Aria. "Three words. Dad's in town." She said. Aria gets up and shuts her door.

"What? Why?" She asked putting her hair in a bun.

"Um, I don't know maybe because our birthday is in 2 weeks," Violet said sitting on the end of the bed. Aria looks at her and then me.

"You need to leave," Aria said. Violet looks at me with a smile.

"Why? He's hot." She said. Aria looks at her.

"Yeah, dad's not gonna think he's so hot when he sees him." She said. Violet looks at me another second and then at Aria.

"Dad's in town. He's not in the house. He called me and said he's coming over for dinner." Violet said. Aria rolled her eyes.

"Dad can't see Miguel," Aria said. Violet looked at her like she was crazy.

"You act like Miguel is a criminal," Violet said getting up. Aria looks at me. "So what if dad knows you have a boyfriend?" She said walking to the door.

"For the last time, Miguel is not my-." I stopped her by pulling her to me. Violet giggles and leaves the room. Aria looks up at me with a frown. "I hate you." She said.

"Yeah, sure," I said pulling her closer to me. She sighs and lets it happen. She once again straddles me.

"Know my dad will probably notice who you are if he sees you?" She said. I nod.

"So?" I asked.

"So you could go to jail. Or prison." She said.

"Sounds like you care," I said.

"Miguel, I do care. Which is why my dad can't know you are in town." She said.

"You worry too much," I said closing my eyes.

"Miguel?" She said. Hummed in response. "Did you get any sleep after I woke up?" She asked. I open my eyes.

"Yes." I lied. She scans my eyes.

"Lier." She said.

"I wasn't really worried about me," I said. She frowns again. "Don't worry about me sunshine," I said. She stares in my eyes lost in gaze. "Can I kiss you?" I asked. She looked shocked.

"What?" She asked. I smile.

"Well, can I?" I asked. She giggles.

"You are awful. I almost thought you were serious." She said. I bent down and placed my lips to hers. Tommy surprise she kissed me back. I pull away and she smiles. "Never ask a girl if you can kiss her." She said. I chuckle. She giggles. "Come on get out of my bed." She said.

"Why would I?" I asked.

"Because you want scrumptious pancakes." She said. I sighed.

"Do you want scrumptious pancakes?" I asked. She nods. "Get up," I said. She smiles and falls on the other side of the bed and I get up. I get up and put my shirt back on. She watches me biting her lip. I shake my head.

"Aria I made pancakes," Gale said walking in with a spatula. He looks at me. "Shit, I forgot you stayed the night. Sorry, I just walked in." He said.

"No worries bro," I said. Aria stands on her bed and jumps on my back.

"Pancakes! Pancakes! Pancakes!" She shouts. Gale and I chuckle. I follow him downstairs and set her on the island table. She looks at me. "Thank you, kind sir." She said. I roll my eyes.

"You are just cute as it gets." A guy behind me said. He had blond hair and green eyes. Tanned tone body. Kinda on the fluffy side. Tall but not taller than me. He was shirtless with sweats on.
