Promises

Chapter 9

Nayeli's POV:

I wake up noticing I was drooling all over my pillow. I sigh and sit up facing the plain wall by my bed. I stand up and stretch. I look back and see Matt and Natalie cuddling.

"Awwe." I coo.

I walk towards them and grab my phone from the night stand. I log into my Snapchat and take a video of them cuddling.

"Aren't they cute?" I whisper as I record them. I take a picture and save it.

I log out of it and put my phone back on the night stand.

I walk into the kitchen and grab a bowl, some Fruit Lops, and the milk carton. I pour the cereal first then pour the milk. I put everything back and carry my bowl to the living room.

I flip through the channels and finally settle down on something to watch.

*Teen Titans Go*

I get comfortable and eat my cereal.

Time skip.

*Knock knock*

I look at the door and groan.
I get up and walk toward the door. I open it and its Cameron.

"Hey bro." I let out.

"Hey is Natalie awake?" He asks as I let him in.

"Nope, she's cuddling with Matt in her room." I say and plot myself down on the couch

"Wait, Matt's here? As in here? Like he's in the same bed as my baby sis." He panics.

"Hey chill. You know they like each other. When will you let her date him. Like obviously they like each other. Not to mention the way they look at each other. Cameron, they deserve each other." I inform looking at him.

He sighs and looks back at me.
"You have a good point. I just, uh don't want her to get hurt. Matt is a great guy and everything, but they're best friends. What if it doesn't work out? What will happen?"

"Cameron, she's almost eighteen. She'll know what to do. She's strong, I've never seen her this happy. Let her be, they deserve each other." I sigh repeating myself.

Later that day

Natalie's POV:

"Nahh, I don't want a pink dress." I groan as Nayeli holds up a pink dress.

It's cute, it goes down to the knees and it's strapless, but I honestly don't like the color pink.

"Why not? I think its cute." She sighs and puts it back on the rack.

Right now we're shopping. We came to the mall to shop for a dress we plan on wearing at the New Years party. The party will be a simple party. Not like a teenager party of course, more like a casual party.

I wanna wear something elegant.

"I feel like a mint blue color would be cute? Yeah?" I question Nayeli who moved over to the mint blue color of dresses.

"Yeah, that wouldn't be bad." She says as she searches through the dresses on the rack.

"So, are you like dating Matt?" She questions me.

"What? No, I mean I like him. I want to date him. I'm just kinda second guessing myself I guess. Plus I would've told you already." I say shrugging.

She gives me a confused look."Wait what? I thought you really liked him?"

I sigh."I do, I really do. Just that I woke up last night because his phone was ringing and they were messages from that Chole chick." I say annoyed.

"Whoaa nuh uh! Lets just get things clear." She pauses stepping closer to me." If Matt ever, ever, hurts you. That dick he has, won't be there anymore." She chuckles.

I pause and look at her. "Nayeli!" I raise my voice. I can't help but laugh at what she said.

"You need to stop child abusing!" I say as I  playfully slap her shoulder.

She shrugs. "Well maybe if they didn't mess with your feelings, I won't have to."

I smile on how much she cares about me.

"Oh my gosh." She gasps.

I stop and look at her.

"Wha-oh my!" I scream

In her hands, there's a beautiful mint blue dress. I walk towards her and take it.

She smiles.

"Its gorgeous, try it on." She motions me to the dressing stalls. I do what she says and walk into one.

I take off my clothes. I'm wearing a basic outfit since I was to lazy to actually dress up.

I wiggle into the dress and zip it from the side.

I look at my reflection.

I gasp. "Wow."

"Hey you done? Come out." I hear Nayeli say from the other side of the door.

I do what she says and walk out.

She lets out a gasp. "Natalie, its perfect on you."

I turn around and look at my reflection on the mirrors the store has next to the dresses. She's right, it does fit me perfect.

The dress hugs by chest and waist, which makes them look more in form. The dress comes down all the way to the ground and has a open cut for the right leg. The top is gray with silver stones coming down all the way to my butt. I love it so much, its perfect.

"I love it." I whisper
