Lemon's voice makes appearance and I snap out of my thoughts to listen to what she has to say.

"Promises are meant to be broken you know? So why don't we do a pinky promise instead, those mean more than just saying promise."

Once Lemon was done speaking she put her pinky finger out and I grab her hand and start to interlock our pinky fingers together, I know this was a bold move but I did it anyway. I lift her hand up to my mouth and place a soft kiss on her pinky finger.

I heard Lemon gasp once I kissed her hand and my cocky self couldn't help but turn my smile into a smirk.

I did another fucking bold move I come close to Lemon's ear and I whisper.

"I pinky promise you."

In that moment I don't know what happen with Lemon it was like she couldn't stand being by me, as if I offended her. Lemon immediately got up from the bench and started to gather her belongings, I've never been more confused in my whole life until this moment.

I needed to know what I said or did that was wrong.

"Lemon did I do something wrong? Did I overstep? Please just tell me and not leave me clueless on not knowing what I did."

Lemons eyes stared at me for a few seconds but soon her eyes started to roam down and stopped right at the hand were I had that stupid ring.

Panic went through me, I never should have listened to Antonio about wearing a stupid wedding ring. I just got Lemon to forgive me and now she's panicking.

"I just remember I had something to do have a good rest of your evening Derek I'll see you around maybe."

Before I could even say anything Lemon just turned around and started to walk away from me, one thing I've noticed about Lemon is she always runs away from problems instead of facing them it's annoying.

At the same time I have no right to judge her, I don't know what's happen in her life this way.

As Lemon is walking away I keep yelling her name and for her to come back but she ignores me.

I can still see her in my view as I'm about to follow her and have her face me till I get a call from Antonio.

I ran my hands through my hair as I answered the phone call "Yes sir?."

"Derek, it's been awhile since we last talk, do you have anything useful or are you going to tell me the same bullshit?"

This man makes my blood boil, I've already lied to Rafa and him. What he doesn't know won't kill him.

"No sir, I've been looking all over Seattle and I still haven't found her nor have I found anyone who's seen her. I'm trying my best here but there's not a lot I can do if she's not here. I still believe she's hiding somewhere in California sir."

Antonio sighs on the phone and stays quiet for a bit, I'm not going to loose Lemon over this idiot.

I start walking hoping to see Lemon walking and as I do. Antonio starts to speak.

"Derek I appreciate your honestly, I would like you stay there if she does run to Seattle. I'm going to check on the other guy who's searching here and see where he's at and we'll have a phone call later goodbye Derek."

Once he hangs up I run towards Lemon and I notice that one of her bags started to get loose on her wrist and fell down in the middle of the side walk.

I immediately bend down and start helping her put all of her items back in the bag and she looks up and finds out with me and immediately looks back down.

I couldn't help but role my eyes, once everything was in the bag I picked it up and acted like I was going to hand it to her, Lemon lifted her hand about to grab the bag but I immediately pulled it back and put it behind my back.

"Lemon please look at me."

Lemon debated on what she was going to do but finally her eyes locked with mine.

I knew my eyes were showing what I was feeling but I didn't care at this moment, I just want her to tell me what happen instead of running.

"Lemon what's wrong, what did I do? Please stop running away."

Lemon grabbed my arm as she did she pulled me to the side letting strangers walk past us, I could careless about them. Walk around us or just don't come this way fuck.

"I don't want to start a argument, we just got done closing the one argument we just had an hour ago. Just let it go Derek.

This woman is really testing my patience and she's going to make me say something I'm going to regret.

"I'm going to keep following you Lemon till you tell me what happened with us, we were both fine till I kissed your hand. It's not like I have a crush on you or find you attractive Lemon it was just a friendly kiss on the hand that's it."

Fuck my life, you're such a fucking idiot Derek. Lemon didn't show me any emotion once I said that which scared me, it's hard to get a read on her and now I have no Idea what she's thinking.

"Fine, I'll tell you. Derek what are you doing with your life? Where's your ring? You're a married man for crying out loud and you're flirting with me or making it seem like you are. Please have enough respect not only for yourself but the wife you made vows with, Please just stop."

Before I could even reply Lemon starts to walk away from me but before she did, she was looking at me soaking me in if it was the last night she'll ever see me.

I need to tell her the truth now or never because I can't lose her yet, I may not have her or claimed her but at the end of the day she is mine.

I didn't even think nor did I care what I was about to do, it was now or never.

I grabbed Lemon by the back of her neck and pushed into my chest the other hand I lifted her head up looking straight at me and before she could say or do anything I finally connected our lips together.

This kiss was mind blowing, as if we were made for eachother. The feeling of her lips on mine will forever be imprinted on me, no one will ever compare to this moment.

As we broke apart from the kiss my thumb rubbed across her lips.

"I'm not married Lemon, I can pinky promise you that."
