long, dark lashes blinked in confusion was the male stepped closer, large palms moving to cup her cheeks. lyanna’s lips parted slightly as oceanic deep hues glanced up to meet his warm amber ones. he was right. he was her family too, always had been. their mothers had been friends since college and the two had known each other ever since they were born. sure, he had been milo’s best friend, but he had always been there for her, no matter what. “i know you are,” she breathed, pearly whites sinking into her full bottom lip. at his words, the brunette nodded, taking a deep, soothing breathe as her eyes fluttered shut for a moment. “i…” her voice trailed off, her gaze wandering around her surroundings before focusing on him once more. “i’ll tell you, just not here. meet me at the beach after school, okay?” she couldn’t risk anyone finding out, even if they were alone, she knew the walls had ears at school, everyone knew everything about everyone. “i promise, i’ll tell you then.”
connor swallowed and took a deep breath, as he stood in front of lyanna with his hands on either side of her face. his thumbs gently caressed the female’s cheeks as her blue eyes met his brown ones. what he had said, was the truth. he really believed that she was his family. their mothers had been friends since the college days while connor & lyanna had known each other since they were born. honestly, connor was certain that their parents had wanted them to end up together and somehow, they had found their way together. i’ll tell you, just not here. meet at the beach after school, okay? connor furrowed his eyebrows and parted his lips, about to speak, but stopped when lyanna said she promised she’d tell him then. ❛ okay, ❜ he whispered, ❛ just... please show up? ❜ taking a log and deep breath of fresh air, connor dropped his hands down to the side of his waist. ❛ you look really beautiful today, ❜ he spoke in a soft voice.
