Mini-Series - Part 8

Sneakily, and quietly,
Jason popped his head between the two of us,
both of his arms were around the both of us.
“Boo! How's the dish washing going?”

Yikes!
I literally jumped up a bit at the unexpected scare.
From the corner of my eyes,
I saw Lily lose her composure for a second too.

“Whoa! Did that really scare the both of you?”
Jason looked at the two of us with wide eyes.

“Geez, leave us alone. Stop baiting us after finishing your chore.”
Lily glared at him.

“I was going to tell Ken to meet me in the backyard afterward.
Sounds cool?” He looked at me after glancing at Lily initially.

“Sure,” I said, nodding.

After Jason left us alone, Lily chuckled quietly.

“What's so funny?” I asked, confused.

“You and Jason are total opposites from one another,
however you two are best friends.”

“I know, right? Unbelievable.
But I trust him the most.”

“That's good.” Then Lily paused for a second.
He never tells me anything, but I always wonder how you two met.”

I laughed. “Another time. It's a funny, long story.”

“Promise?” Lily looked up with her eyes for a brief second.

“Of course.”
