The Promise He Made.

Chapter 14

Will turned and looked at Miguel. "Oh shit. Miguel, I didn't see you there." He said. I lean on the counter while moving my food over. I look at Miguel as he does his handshake. "What are you doing in Gale's house?" Will asked. He looks at Gale. "Not that it's a bad house just thought you two didn't get along." He said.

"We do," Gale said.

"Now," I said. He looks at me.

"Thanks to you," Miguel said bumping his shoulder into mine. I smiled at him. Will smiled at me.

"You must be Aria?" He said. I nodded.

"I am," I said.

"You know Gale talks about you and Violet. Well, he talks about Violet a little too much." He said. I giggle.

"Hey," Gale said.

"What?" Will said.

"Bro code?" Gale said. Will rolled his eyes.

"Drama queen." He said. I giggle. I look at Gale.

"I like him. He's not a flirt like you and Kyle." I said. Gale rolled his eyes.

"He hasn't tried because Miguel is sitting next to you." He said.

"Maybe. Or maybe I'm gentlemen." Will said. I looked at him. He winked. "If you ever want to try Garcia over here for a real man I'll be waiting," Will said. I giggled. Miguel chuckled.

"Says the one who got his ass kicked by a girl," Miguel said. Will chuckled.

"You consider yourself as a girl?" Will said. Miguel shook his head.

"Ok, so I met Kyle a flirt, and Will also a flirt but cute when he does. Who I am missing?" I asked. Gale looked at Will.

"Where is David?" He asked.

"Sleep his head off. The guy can sleep through everything." He said.

"Well, I guess I'm gonna have to meet him later," I said getting up. Miguel looked at me.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"I'm walking with you to your house," I said. He grabbed my waist.

"Aria you are staying here." He said. I searched his eyes.

"But I want to go with you," I said with a frown.

"I know but I have things I have to deal with." He said. I deepened my frown. "I'll be back." He said. I smiled. He bends down and places a kiss to my lips. I smile in the kiss.

"And you said you aren't dating," Violet said. I look at her.

"Shut up," I said. She sticks her tongue out. I pick up a pancake and throw it at her. It lands in her hair.

"Ewwww. My hair is sticky." She squeaked.

"Stay in your own business," I said hiding behind Miguel.

"Don't get me in the middle of your fight." He said trying to move as she picks up a pancake.

"Better move lover boy or it's your shirt." She said.

"Don't move." I plead.

"You want me to take a pancake for you?" He asked turning around. I nodded. He sighs. "Fine." He said turning back around. I giggle. Violet mouth drops.

"You can't hide behind him. That's not fair." She cried.

"It's not my fault Gale didn't take a pancake for you," I said. Gale picks up a pancake and throws it right into my hair.

"You throw it too fast." He said. Violet gives me a high five.

"I didn't throw one at you," I said. He chuckles.

"No, but you throw my delicious food." He said. I grabbed my coffee which was now cold and splashed them both.

"Oh, you little-." Violet started. She grabbed something but I booked it up the stairs with Miguel on my trial locking my bedroom door after he got in. I giggled looking at him. He chuckles as he picks out a piece of pancake out of my hair.

"I'm sorry," I said. He just smiles.

"You're adorable." He said. I giggle and end up snorting. His smile deepens. "Come here." He said wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Aria, open up," Gale said outside the door.

"I think I'm good in here," I said. Miguel shakes his head and bends down kissing me. I hum in response.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked. I searched his eyes.

"Are you serious?" I asked. He nods. "Yes. I will." I said. He kisses me again.

"Good now you can't keep saying I'm not your boyfriend." He said. I roll my eyes. "Kyle was right." He said. I gave a confused look. "When you roll your eyes it's hot." He said. I roll my eyes at his annoyance.

"You're annoying," I say. He smiles. "What kind of business?" I ask. He sighed.

"Aria, I'm not gonna tell you." He said.

"Why not? I know what your job is so what not tell me what kind of business it is." I asked.

"Because I don't want you to worry." He said. I looked to the side. "I'm not killing anyone if that's what you're thinking." He said. I looked back at him. "I have to go soon." He said.

"Ok," I said. He gave me a sad smile.

"Do you want me to come back tonight?" He asked. I shook my head.

"No. My dads gonna be here tonight. Most likely he's gonna stay here until next week." I said. He nods. "Probably won't be a good idea for you to show up here," I said. He nods.

"If he does find out who I am I have to leave." He said.

"He won't find out Miguel," I said. He nods.

"I'll see you at school tomorrow beautiful." He said walking out of the room. I sighed. I hopped into the shower and got ready for today.
