“I just wanted to apologize to my boyfriend!” she replied defensively. I let out a sarcastic chuckle and looked at her, “Christina you have absolutely no right to call Corbyn your boyfriend! He is sitting in there absolutely heartbroken because of what you did! You did this to yourself, you're the one that cheated!” I yelled at her. She looked at me sad, ‘Did she use my full name? God! I just lost my sister too!’ she thought. “Christina, I think you should leavе.” I said, trying to sound calm. She turned around slowly and walked back to hеr car. I took a deep breath and walked back inside, I walked into the living room and sat back down in my spot. Cody had gone to get some water, Zach looked back at me, “Who was at the door?” he asked. I mouthed her name and he nodded, turning back to his game. After a few minutes of sitting there staring at the boring game of Fortnite, Daniel came out nowhere and tackled me from the side. We fell back onto the couch, he had his arms around my waist and his head was lying comfortably on my chest. I looked around the room and Corbyn was looking at us. “What do I do?” I mouthed, he struggled. His thoughts said something completely different, ‘Awwww, that's the cutest thing ever!' I looked at him like, “really bruh” he looked back down at his phone quickly.
“Hey, um, Dani. What are you doing?” I asked, quietly. He looked up slightly, “Cuddling you. Obviously!” he said, softly. I looked at him, I was really enjoying this honestly.
“I know, but why?” I asked, curious as to why Daniel Seavey would want to cuddle me. His response made me laugh.
“Because you look so cute and cuddly.” he said like it was obvious. I shrugged, he turned his head back to face the TV. I ran my fingers through his thick brown hair. It was soft and smelled strongly of coconut. His head fitting perfectly on my chest, his velvety but sharp features warmed up my chest slightly. I stared at the ceiling, humming Timelapse. Zach wrote it and sang it to me, it’s a great song but he said I wasn't allowed to tell anyone about it. He always sang the song in a delicate and soft voice, even though the song had a powerful message. Daniel moved his head to look at me, I looked down at him. At first he looked around the room then moved his body up slightly so he could reach my lips. “Can I kiss you?” he asked, kindly while moving his hands to either side of my head. I nodded slowly, he leaned down and our lips met for a soft passionate kiss. This kiss was more sensual than the others, his lips moved aggressively against mine. My hands intertwining with his hair, pulling him deeper into the kiss. His tongue explored every inch of my mouth. I forgot there were four other people in the living room, I also didn't notice the doorbell ring so it was extremely awkward when Jonah cleared his throat, interrupting us. Daniel pulled away and turned his head to look behind him, I peeked under his arm. Jonah and Corbyn were standing there, arms crossed like the overprotective friends they are. Jack was trying not to laugh and Zach was sitting on the ground eating pizza, not caring what was happening around him. Daniel looked back down at me, and pecking me on the lips before rolling off the couch onto his feet. I sat up and we all ate pizza, laughing and talking. Jonah sat on my left and Corbyn sat on my right so Daniel couldn't sit by me. After a few hours of hanging out with the boys I had to go home. Daniel walked me to the car and helped me in, when he sat down I put my head on his shoulder. I was tired and I really didn't want to deal with Christina. He kissed my head, “Goodnight princess.” he whispered, starting the car. I closed my eyes and slowly started drifting to sleep, next thing I know I'm being carried into my bedroom by a pair of remarkably muscular arms. I pretended to be asleep as Daniel placed me on the bed lightly, tucked me in, kissing me on the head before leaving. I instantly fell back asleep, thinking about Daniel and what we could be.
3 months later. So my relationship with Daniel is complicated, he hasn't asked me out or anything like that yet we still act like we're dating. We kiss all the time and walk around holding hands but he hasn’t asked me to be his girlfriend. Football has been going great, we actually have a game tonight. Me and Chrissy have made up, I’m still mad at her but she's my sister after all. I woke up to Coco sitting on my bed barking at something outside the window, I thought it was a squirrel cause I sleep on the second floor. I got up and tried to ignore the barking but it got really annoying so I decided to check what was out there. I crawl up to the window and open the curtains slightly to find Daniel sitting in the tree by my window, holding a box. I was a bit confused, it wasn’t my birthday, so I checked the date April 2. Shoot! Today is his birthday, I slowly opened the window, “Hey Dani, why are you in my tree?” I asked, slightly laughing. He looked at the box in his hands, “And why do you have a box? You realize it's your birthday not mine, right?” I added trying to play off the fact I didn't know it was his birthday two seconds ago. He nodded and climbed into my room, he was being awfully silent and it wasn't normal. He placed the box down and tackled me into a kiss. Just as amazing as every other kiss we shared, except this time we were in my bedroom when my parents weren’t home. After a few seconds he pulls away, looking at me he finally gives me the box. I look at him confused, “Once again you realize it's your birthday not mine, right?” I asked, I had no idea what was going on.
He playfully rolled his eyes, “Princess, stop asking questions and open the box.” he said, his voice barely higher than a whisper. I open the box and inside are two plane tickets to Minnesota, where I was born. I hadn't been there in 15 years but I know I was born in Stillwater and Christina's parents moved here, to Portland, when I was two. I could feel the tears running down my face, I felt like I just got hit with a wave of every possible emotion but the most prominent one was happiness. I was happy he cared enough to do this for me, mad he spent so much money on me, confused at why there were two and sad because I started to think about my mom. I wanted to scream, cry, and jump up and down in happiness all at the same time. I looked up at Daniel, tears in my eyes, he looked unsure. I finally smiled and his face eased, “I'm glad you like it.” he said calmly. I looked at him weird, he started to go back to the window to leave, “Hold up! What is this for?” I asked before he stepped out the window. He smiled and jumped out the window into the tree. I was genuinely confused, he gave me plane tickets to Minnesota and without a word jumped out my window. I stumble over to the window and peer out, to find that Daniel is gone completely. I shrugged off the whole situation and decided I would talk to him at school, so I got up off the bed, grabbed an outfit and headed to my shower. When I got out I put on a long sleeve black crop top, camo pants and black combat boots. I dried and straightened my hair, did my makeup and put on some hoops. I grabbed my backpack, I do this thing where I have multiple backpacks of the same brand just in different colors and I wear the color that matches my outfit that day.
