Loving Promises Novels & Stories

Lily's hands trembled in mine and I held them tighter. "I promise to honor your independence while supporting your dreams. I promise to fight beside you instead of against you. I promise to be honest even when it's hard and to choose us even when it's easier to choose myself." The tears were flowing freely now and I didn't care. "I promise to love you not just on days when it's easy but especially on days when it's complicated. To be your partner in every way that word can mean." I took another shaky breath. "You saved me from becoming someone cold and empty. You gave me reasons to be better. And I promise to spend the rest of my life being worthy of the gift you've given me."

He shook his head, scooting closer to her. “Please promise me you’ll understand,” She sniffed and looked away. “I will understand you the same way you’ve understood me,” He placed his hand on top of hers. “Kai…” She licked her lips, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"She's only staying for two days. She'll definitely move out before the wedding." I said nothing. I only looked at him coldly. He stepped closer and lowered his voice, trying to coax me. "I promise nothing will happen between Abbie and me. In my eyes, she is practically one of the guys. I am not attracted to her." The moment he said that, Abbie punched him lightly in the arm, pretending to be offended. "Who are you not attracted to?" she snapped. "You big idiot. Other than that face of yours, what do you even have going for you?"

Go ahead and win the world, and whenever you turn back, I'll be there as your strongest pillar of support. We fight a million times.

Adom dipped his head to kiss Ash and pulled his hips back, snapping them forward a moment later. Words were lost to them, but the movements of their bodies, the gentle touches that set fire to skin that shone with sweat, it spoke more than their words ever could. Promises burned to their very skin, like runes of old. Promises to love, to protect. Promises to listen and to talk, to always communicate with one another instead of making assumptions. Promises to be a family, not just to one another but also to everyone else in their little group. And mostly, promises to bring joy and pleasure to one another, each day every day for the rest of their lives.

I’m certainly not proposing you this way or this soon despite how much I want to (just so you know, I’m dead serious about proposing to you someday, just not today) This is a promise ring (I believe that’s what they call these days) I give you this ring to say that I’m so in love with you and that I promise to make you the happiest person in the world. I know you don’t love me yet but that’s okay. You said you trust me with your life and I promise that I’ll do anything to keep that trust. I just hope you don’t lose faith in me, ever. I’ve made a lot of promises to you over the years since our childhood. I’ve kept every one of them and I intend to keep them all – new and old.

I'd jumped up to give him a big hug, giggling in his ear: "Meeting you was the luckiest thing that ever happened to me." He'd hugged me back so tight I could barely breathe. "Meeting you was my blessing. I promise I'll make lots of money in the future and make you the happiest person alive!" Now I walked aimlessly through the snow, thinking how ridiculous those sweet memories and promises seemed. He had plenty of money now, but instead of keeping his promise, he'd transferred all that affection to his mistress.

As it turned out, the whole thing was a lie from the very beginning. Clara stiffened, still putting up a final struggle. "I stayed by your side and encouraged you throughout your four years of college. Doesn't that count as emotional support?" She shifted tactics, attempting to play on my emotions to get what she wanted. "Regardless of the money, we've been husband and wife for ten years. Isn't that bond enough for you to help me just this once? "Have you forgotten how much you used to love me? I promise not to hold your past infidelity against you anymore if you'll just forgive me this time. Let's just put it all behind us and go back to the way things were, okay?"

"We stood the same, looked the same, made the same promises. The first promise stands for love, we promised to love each other unconditionally. The second one stands for trust, we promised to trust each other at any cost. The third one stands for honesty, we promised to be honest with each other. The fourth one stands for purity, we promised to be for no one but each other. The fifth one stands for happiness, we promised to be each other's happiness. The sixth one stands for unity, we promised to live as one soul. The seventh one stands for eternity, we promised to live together and die together." A weird silence consumed both of us, and after a while, I felt the urge to question. "What happ
