Novel & Cerita Playful Promises

"Anything else?" Chase pressed. My nose stung with the threat of tears, and I ducked my head to hide it. "Nope." He grinned. "Are you gonna cry?" My eyes burned, but he leaned down low, peeking up at me with that cheeky expression. "For real? Crying over my leave?" This guy was seriously messed up, but somehow, the urge to cry evaporated in the face of his playfulness. I shoved him away, annoyed but fighting a smile. "You're crazy!"

His fingers drew small circles on my skin. I cupped his cheek and smiled because the thing he asked of me was brave and the thing he offered back was fiercer. “I promise,” I said. “And you promise me you won’t try to take the whole battle on alone.” He made a small, comic look of mock offense, then very real submission. “I promise. Also — I will make you teal pancakes every time you win a small victory.”

He will heal your wounds with his love and care. The future ahead of you is dangerous, my child, but always remember that with your “Promise Mate” beside you, both of you shall conquer your enemies. I don't know if you will remember this when you grow up, but never let what will happen today ruin your life, child. You have a bigger responsibility ahead. But you can never accomplish it without your “Promise Mate." The Oracle spoke gently to Theo, who kept nodding his head as if he understood what the old woman was saying

I kinda like this smile of him. "Promise?" I said again with my pinky finger. He grinned at my action and held my pinky finger as a promise. Sealed. I don't know why but my heart rest assured me that I can trust this guy even though he always makes me pissed off. "So, now you are happy with the two weeks’ time?" He asked playfully. And now he is back to his playful side again. Not even for a few minutes. Such a bipolar. This guy can't be serious at all.

“I wish I could, really I do. Unfortunately, I still have some matters to deal with. I promise, once I’m done with things, I will have plenty of time to play with you two.” “Really? You promise?” “No, she won’t,” I heard Helix mutter, low enough to seemingly not be heard by Hailey. I held a pinky up at the girl, bringing hope to her face. “Pinky promise. This is what humans do to keep promises in a friendly way, right?” Her face turned brighter, as Hailey wrapped my pinky around with her own. “Yeah!” “Really? That’s how humans keep promises?” came a familiar voice. One that brought cold shivers down my spine.

“Here, wrap your pinky around mine. “Maddie instructs. “That’s it. And now we shake.“ “What is this for exactly?“ “The idea is that if you break the promise, you break your pinky.“ Maddie informs me. “Hence, pinky promise.” It breaks? I look up at her at the violent idea. It’s surprising to hear. “Does it? “ I’m not even questioning how it does- maybe magic? “I’ve never broken a promise, and my pinky’s still okay. So probably. “Maddie smiles. “Here, “Maddie holds her finger with mine, and we shake. “Now it’s a promise. I will do all I can to get you away from that dreadful Mykhol. “

Schmidt! I patted his shoulder and pushed myself out of his grip. Calmly, I handed him the document I'd prepared. "I don't trust you. Not unless you transfer all your assets to me." His eyes darted to mine, but I kept going. "I have no children—just you. But you? You've got a kid and another family waiting for you outside. How am I supposed to believe anything you say?" Neil stared at the agreement in silence, the seconds dragging out. Finally, his voice came hoarse and shaky. "Pulling that much money out of the company... it might not be appropriate."

Burying my face in my arm, I closed my eyes and let the tears fall. “Let me help. Let me do something…please…” I shook my head. “Lo único que puedes hacer por mí es dejarme ir.” [The only thing you can do for me is to let me go.] His hand froze on my back, and I could feel it clench slightly. “No sé si puedo prometer eso.” [I don’t know if I can promise that.] Smiling and chuckling this time, I lifted my head up and looked back at the dancers twirling to the music.“No cumples las promesas de todos modos.” [You don’t keep promises anyways.]

I countered and he let out a small laugh but a stern look from me what’s him up. “You’re stubborn.” “I know,” I promised before raising my hand and extending my pinky. “Pinky promise me that you’ll not leave.” He looked at me hand with a mixed expression of surprise and amusement. “Really? A pinky promise?” I nodded in response, stretching out my hand further. “Yes.” “You’re unbelievable,” he replied but still hooked his pinky around mine. “Fine. I pinky promise.” For some unknown reason, I believed him. He sounded sincere and this was the first time he was making a promise to me so I felt that he was going to keep to his words.

“Record this.” The man calmly resumed sipping his tea. “Verbal promises are unreliable. Leave some evidence. “If you ever dare have any untoward ideas about Sally…”
