No Promises By Cheat Codes の小説・ストーリー

No promise wrapped in spectacle. Just certainty.

The voice snaps clear for a single second, cold and sharp as a knife: “Warning: code corruption detected.”

Run where nobody finds them. Or die trying. Right now both seemed the same anyway.

A tremor runs from my hand up my arm and directly to my dick. Wow. “This one,” she says, looking up at me through inky lashes. I shift in my seat, trying to bring my body under control, and turn up my palm. It’s the gray pawn. “Black.” I turn the board so that the gray chess pieces are in front of her. “Okay. I’ll start.” Four moves in and I’m dragging my hands through my hair. “As usual, you’ve been holding out on me, haven’t you?” My tone is wry.

Read it once. Sent it.

“Worth $20. Maybe $25 if I’m feeling generous.” “Take it,” I said. “And give me the papers. I’ll bring the rest in two weeks. I swear it.” He looked into my eyes—really looked—and saw the truth: I would die before I broke that promise. “Come back tonight,” he said. “8 p.m. Don’t be late. And if you’re lying…” He tapped his temple. “I’ll find you. And you won’t like what happens next.” I walked back to the rooming house with $3 and a future on credit.

Because Marie had to leave at that time, and in order to conclude their talk and her beautiful bond with Jean, Marie requested, “Jean, promise me that when we both grow up and get a job, we will meet each other. Promise me that you will stay in touch with me; you have my email and my phone number as well. Promise me that you will keep our friendship a secret, and you will not let any other girl become your best friend.” With a very heavy voice and a little positivity in her mind with the hope of meeting her first love again in life after a couple of years, Jean replied, “Pinky Promise!”

"Why did I make that stupid promise?" The End.
