Promise

oday Andrey had woken up at around five in the morning but unlike his regular routine, he didn't go out for a run. He was supposed to leave at around nine in the morning so the moment he woke up he began packing all his stuff after freshening up.

Ring Ring

Thirty minutes into that activity the sound of the doorbell entered Andrey's ears.

'Lisa's here,' Andrey said as he rushed to open the door.

"Good morning, Andrey," Lisa said with a warm smile but the dark circles beneath her eyes were a clear indicator of how sleep-deprived she was at the moment.

"Good morning, Lisa," Andrey returned the polite gesture and asked her, "Are you sure about helping me? You look more sleep-deprived than a racoon…"

"No worries, since today you're leaving how could I not come? Let's begin with the packing," Lisa made a fist in the air to indicate how vigorous she was.

"Alright, thanks once again," Andrey replied.

"No need for thanks, I'll be depending on your skills for the breakfast," Lisa said with a chuckle as she went in.

Andrey shook his head seeing how silly she was being and led her to his room. The two then began arranging all the clothes into the bags along with several other things. By the time they were finished, it was around seven in the morning and their stomachs had started to grumble.

Andrey soon began preparing a hearty breakfast for the two of them as Lisa sat at the dining table to wait. She was too tired to help him in the kitchen and could only watch him cook from here.

A couple minutes later when Andrey turned to look towards Lisa, he saw her dozing off on her hand which was supporting her head.

'How cute,' Andrey thought to himself with a chuckle and didn't forget to sneakily take a picture of her.

'I'll send it to her later to annoy her,' Andrey thought as he put back his phone and focused back on cooking.

Half an hour later the food was all ready and Andrey woke Lisa up for breakfast. Lisa was a bit embarrassed when she realized that she had dozed off right in front of Andrey. To hide her embarrassment, she immediately went to the bathroom to wash her hands.

While Lisa was away Andrey soon filled the table with his prepared breakfast and waited for her. The two of them soon began their meal and savoured it till the last bite. Their stomachs were finally satiated.

With a glass of water in her hand Lisa mused out her thoughts, "It will be a while till we would be able to eat like this again…won't it?"

"Indeed, but what matters is that we will be meeting again," Andrey assured."

"That's true," Lisa replies as her previous melancholic mood is dissolved.

After being done with the breakfast Lisa helped Andrey with the dishes. While they were at it Lisa couldn't help but pause for a second to think to herself, 'Don't we look like a couple at this moment…'

She sneakily turned towards Andrey to look at him as he cleaned the dishes one by one and immediately shook those embarrassing thoughts which were flooding her mind away.

"Hm, You're alright?" Andrey asked seeing her acting weirdly.

"Haha...I'm good, I'm good," Lisa answered in an awkward manner.

Andrey was about to question her further but his mind was distracted by a message he just received on his phone.

[I'll be there in fifteen minutes, be ready,]

"Instructor Zack said he'll be here in 15 minutes," Andrey said as he increased his pace of doing the dishes. Lisa too increased her pace but her mind was wandering somewhere else.

She was thinking about the piece of the future that she witnessed the previous time when she used her ability on Andrey. In that future clip, there was a certain scene which truly made her doubt her actions.

'Why the hell did I end up kissing him? And that too on the lips!' Lisa just couldn't get over this issue. It was true that she had started to develop feelings for Andrey but she was in no way ready to kiss him on his lips!

Now that only a few minutes were left for Andrey's departure she still couldn't understand why she kissed him.

"Lisa," She was soon brought out of her stupor by Andrey's words. The two of them brought the trolley bags and placed them outside the house. There were two trolley bags and a backpack which Andrey was carrying on his back.

Leaving Lisa with the luggage Andrey circled his house as a last check to ensure that he had locked all the windows before locking the main door.

'At most…I can give him a peck on the cheeks,' A thought started taking root in Lisa's mind as she nodded to herself, 'Indeed, that's not a bad idea,'

"What are you nodding for?" asked Andrey who just returned and Lisa nodded to herself while standing.

"N-Nothing, I-I Just-" Before Lisa could explain herself she saw Andrey's gaze moving upwards and she too followed his eyes.

A black flying car soon made its way towards the airspace above Andrey's house and slowly descended downwards. When the car finally landed Andrey's eyes brazenly checked every nook and cranny of that gorgeous car.

'It's from the latest MAMBA series,' Andrey soon realized the model of the car and was even more enamoured by it.

'So, he's into cars,' Lisa noted her finding in her mind's diary as she enjoyed the stupefied and enamoured expression on Andrey's face but soon a thought crossed her mind, 'Wish he could look towards me in the same manner,'

She shook her head like crazy immediately and berated herself, 'What the hell were you even thinking Lisa, focus, focus'

Andrey didn't even notice Lisa's strange behaviour as his eyes were lost in the depths of that black glossy finish of the car.

"Get your stuff in," Instructor Zack said as he opened the back trunk of the car.

"O-oh, A-alright!" If not for him Andrey would still be immersed in admiring the car. Seeing Andrey putting the trolley bags in the car trunk Lisa's heart finally started beating harder. It was finally time for her to give him a peck on his cheeks but suddenly a thought entered her mind.

'I wonder what Andrey's next two weeks would look like,' The moment she thought about it she unconsciously activated 'Future Sight' and for the next couple of seconds saw a few clips related to Andrey's future.

Andrey soon finished putting all his bags in the car and walked towards Lisa to say his goodbye.

"I'll be going then Lisa, take ca-" Before Andrey could finish his words, he felt a soft sensation over his lips and was stunned on the spot. He could feel Lisa's hot breath over his face as her sweet fragrance entered his nostrils making him stop breathing.

Instructor Zack was taken aback by this sudden turn of events but he slid up his window to give the two their private moment.

Lisa slowly separated her lips leaving Andrey with a feeling of wanting more but his stunned body didn't have the ability to follow his will. His eyes were focused only on Lisa as the distance between the two increased.

Lisa tucked a few disarrayed strands of hair under her ear as her heart palpitated with the speed of light. There were lots of thoughts going on in her mind but she still managed to say the words that she wanted to say, "P-Promise me, Andrey, you won't forget about me…"

It took a couple of seconds for Andrey to gain back the ability to speak as he immediately replied, "I p-promise,"

A bright smile formed over Lisa's face as she heard those words but her twenty seconds of courage was finally over as the realization of what she had done dawned over her. "I-I'll be going then, Goodbye!" She blurted out and rushed out of the scene leaving Andrey in his state.

"…" Andrey just stood there with no idea on what to do next.

"Should we get going then?" Zack suggested as he opened the door for Andrey.
