"Ofcourse! It's an oldie-but-goodie stuff." He smiled. I continued diggin' up the box on the ground as I lay flat on my stomach on the bed. Brian just indian-sat beside me on the bed and watched me. I just searched and searched for stuffs, and I'd laugh each time I picked somethin' that reminded me of a really funny memory. I picked a lot, including his and Seth's friendship beanie, the first ever robot toy I gave him as a birthday gift *grinning*, a stuffed bear, a wallet, bunch of bling-bling accessories he used before, and more. I continued unearthing the box of old stuff 'til my hands had a grab of this small notebook. I stared blankly at it, trying to remember what was exactly that object. Then I felt like a light bulb flashed in my head and suddenly remembered what it was: It was the "promising notebook". Brian and I called it "promising" just because there's none other than what seemed like a thousand promises written in it. HAHA! I grinned wide. We made it I think about just a year ago. I listed promises that I'd forever keep, for him and for myself, and he listed promises that he'd forever keep, for me and for himself. These are those promises that we better not break. WE BETTER NOT, REALLY.
Grinning at it in my hands, Brian out of the blue, spoke.
"Wow, I didn't know it was in there."
"I'm glad it's still here." I replied and opened the notebook.
"I almost kinda forgot about it till you found it tonight." He chuckled.
"Wow.. we have listed a bunch. They're.. they're uncountable!" I said as I browsed the pages.
"Yep, they're limitless. Let's see.." Brian crawled beside me and we examined the "promising notebook" together.
We tested each other. We tried to see which promise listed there was broken, and how many promises were still kept. Minutes passed and we were still doing the same thing. It turned out that neither of us had broken any. But there was just a bunch of things listed there for us to be so sure that no promise was actually broken. We kept testing. It was fun.
"Hold on! There's still a whole lot more of promises! Let's check out more!!!!" I exclaimed as I slid my forefinger down each page we browsed, finding a cool thing we listed there. "Here here!!!" I thought I just found a nice one.
Brian looked closer at the notebook and tried to read what it was.
"Promise #143 by Brian: I will never ever fall for the same trick, I will never fall for Amanda again."
This was, among all the promises, the most serious I guess..and one that I'd be extremely glad if Brian forever kept it, truly.
I laughed at it at first. Amanda was Brian's girl for almost a year, but she cheated on him and they broke up. She was his first love, I remember how badly hurt he was, and he bitterly wrote that promise last year. That girl... PSHH. Ain't nothin' but a fraudster! I was so glad they broke up, well you might think it's because I had special feelings for my cousin, and that I was just jealous, but no. Well partly, yeah but Amanda was just too bad..well, Brian was too good for her. Oh well, I was sure then that Brian had totally moved on. So sure, I didn't think he would even mind if I brought up the topic about her.
"Ahahaha would you look at this! I think this is the lamest, and the corniest one you ever wrote here!" I laughed.
Was it just me, or I really saw Brian grimace a bit when I said that?
What's happening to him? I ignored it, and faked a laugh.
"Hey!" I slapped his arm cheerfully. He looked at me in the weirdest way I ever knew, like he wanted to say something. I went nuts.
Fudge. Brian. Have you broken the promise? Don't you ever tell me you just did.
We were both silent. His serious look slowly turned into an amusing face and he broke out laughing. That relieved me a bit.
"You're crazy."
"I know." He said simply.
"So...?" I said quizically.
"So what?" He was confused. I laughed again. "What's so funny?" He just got even more confused.
"Nothing, I just thought you were actually gonna tell me that you broke the promise! Can you believe that?" I laughed hard burrying my face into bed and wiggling both of my feet. "Guess I just think too much, I'm madsick!!!" I continued laughing.
Again. Was it just me, or I kinda heard him sigh frustratingly? There was no other reaction heard from him. I looked back up at him. He was still lying flat on his stomach, both of his hands were closed against each other, with his fingers intertwined, his head bowed down. At that point, I really couldn't read him.
Has he been praying or somethin'? He looks really bothered, but despite that he totally looks adorable. Wish I could be courageous to ask.
"Yo Bri?!" I tapped him gently. He raised his head and looked at me, his eyes were just mysterious that night. They puzzled me, but I knew that if I asked him, he just wouldn't tell me anyway.
Then..he yawned. Okay. So maybe he's just really sleepy. That made me feel better, atleast it gave me hopes that nothin' wrong was going on. He was just sleepy...or so I thought.
"Alright, I'm keeping these. Let's sleep." I said. He just smiled and ruffled my hair. "Heeeyyy!!!" I exclaimed.
*~*~*~*
Before finally shutting our eyes, I wanted to make sure everything was fine.
"Brian?"
"Yeah?" He replied drowsily as he pulled the covers over to his body.
"You really okay?" I finally asked him.
"Yes." He said with a reassuring smile. "Why do you ask?"
"Just making sure!" I smiled back. "But Brian, please. Whenever you feel like you need to tell me something, please please please!!!! Please don't hesitate to tell me, don't make me insist you 'cause it's really hard to convince you!"
He laughed. I wasn't fine with his response.
"Promise me you will!" I insisted and shook him violently.
"I WILL I WILL!!!" He almost shouted. It was funny and cute. It convinced me.
"Ya sure you ain't hiding anything from me?" I cautiously asked him one last time. I wanted to be sure.
He face-palm'd himself and chuckled. "Come here anorexic girl." He opened his arms wide and invited me into a cuddle. I immediately crawled closer to him and wrapped my arm around him, my head resting on his chest. I'm so loving this.
"So what's the answer?" I insisted.
"I am not, and will never hide anythin' okay?" He reassured. I trusted him fully, and dropped the topic finally. I fell asleep in his arms.
