Roses and Thornes

Chapter 21

                    Haylee still had puffy eyes from crying, she was still angry but she also had a feeling of happiness. 'Does he really love me?' Haylee whispered under her breath as she grabbed a cup out of the cupboard. Haylee heard footsteps closely approaching her, she turns around to see Abby with a bowl and a few rags. 'Hey are you okay?' asked Abby as she placed the bowl into the sink. 'I'm doing better, I'm still angry at him, but as soon as he comes back we are going to talk about it, I'm going to tell him I Love him.' Haylee said as she grabbed a new bowl out of the cupboard and placed it next to her water. 'Wow, Haylee are you sure?', Abby asked. 'Positive, I had a dream about him when I took my nap today.', Haylee said reaching for the lucky charms. 'Ooo tell me what about.' Abby said as she put the dirty rags into the sink. 'Well usually it's a nightmare, but this time he was there instead of someone else. He put his hand on my cheek, and asked if he could kiss me. Of course I said yes, and I felt what it was like to be kissed by him for the first time.' Haylee told Abby as she said remembering how warm his lips were and the rhythm of his breaths. 'But Haylee you didn't' , Abby couldn't finish her sentence. 'Technically he didn't either, so that's why I'm going to wait till he gets back.', Haylee responded sounding only a little happier. 'Okay, just be careful about your decisions', Abby was still upset Haylee could tell. 'I'm an adult I don't need your conformation of my actions!', Haylee yelled. Abby stayed quiet and looked down at her feet and nodded. 'I'm sorry, I'm still a little upset over the whole situation, what if we got out? Like went to a bar and partied, I've never been.', Haylee said apologizing. 'Are you sure you are up for that? You've never had alcohol before.', Abby said looking up. 'I will be fine, I promise.', Haylee encouraged as she sat down to eat her cereal. 'Okay let's go tonight when it's a little later, I'm still adjusting everything.', Abby said as she walked out of the kitchen towards her room. Haylee wondered why it was such a big deal to Abby, it was her decision to forgive Noah this quickly, she should just respect her decision. Haylee brushed off the situation and put a spoonful of cereal into her mouth.

Haylee finished her cereal and went into her room. !Ding! Haylee looked down at her phone, it was Noah. Haylee quickly opened her phone to her messages.

I know we talked like 20 Minutes ago, but I miss you.

Haylee quickly replied

I miss you too! You need to hurry and get your butt back here I have something for you!

Haylee couldn't believe this was a thing, her and Noah, it seemed unreal or too good to be true!

Really? You should tell me now, because I hate surprises ;)

Haylee rolled her eyes and typed

No you have to be here silly.

It felt so unreal

Please?

She had to give in, he said please!

Fine, I have three words and a kiss waiting for you.

Haylee cringed at her own words.

Really? I have the same thing, but I have one for you right now. Haylee, I love you, with all of my heart, I have loved you for years. You're amazing in every way.

Haylee's heart fluttered, she was a little upset that he said it over text and not to her face, but he said that he loved her, even better he had loved her for years!

You know, that would be more meaningful if we were in person?

She waited for a response

I know, and that's why I said it over text, because I have something for you when I get back.

Haylee was actually curious, and wanted to know, but she knew that if it was a secret it would be more special.

Oh really? Well I'm not going to say my three words until you get here.

Haylee knew that sentence would, make him frustrated.

I look like a idiot if you don't say it back!

Haylee laughed as she sat on the corner of her bed.

I know, that's why I did it.

Haylee plugged her phone in, and went to go get her swimsuit on to go swimming in the back yard. Haylee put on her stripped swim suit with red bottoms and grabbed her towel out of her closet. Haylee went outside and felt the warm noon sun on her body. Haylee walked into the pool feeling the cool water against her ankles. Haylee remembered the last time she was in the pool, she was sick. Now? She was healthy, she has healthy lungs she lived in a house with her best friends. Life was good, she was happy.

Oh my, I have plans, and they are spicy
