“You look sizzling” Kyle said resting his elbow on the wall, peering into the doorway as Lola stepped out wearing her brand new red dress.
He snatched her by the waist and pulled her in close to his chest.
“Kyle…my mom is right inside the,” Lola was cut off briskly by his kiss.
She pulled away quickly, and playfully slapped his arm.
“My mom is right inside the door.” she finished through a hushed whisper.
“Eh, she likes me enough, I think.” he said confidently, but Lola still caught him steeling a peek through the living room window.
“Listen,” he started quickly and pulled her out into the yard near her favorite maple tree under the stars.
“I’ve been thinking.” he paused. “I’m leaving in a couple weeks, but of course you know that.” he stumbled over his words and looked down at his shoes. He took a deep breath and looked through his shaggy dark brown hair into her blue eyes. “I want you to come with me.”
Lola closed her diary, a sensation burned in her chest. She thought about how she had almost said no, and reached under her pillow to grab his t-shirt, size medium, and nuzzled it into her chest. She couldn’t believe a time had ever existed where she had almost said no.
Thank you so much for reading! I've grown such an attachment to Lola's story that I made it a special cover picture with an official title. A special shout out to @freedompoint for brain storming with me!
If you would like to start from the beginning to see a fuller picture, I've linked all the parts below!
Thank you @fireawaymarmot for the great graphic!
