Edelmendola: All Over You

If only you stopped leading me on 

Then you'd see that it's been raining all along 

All Over You- Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

____________________

Danny Amendola kind of hates Media Day. He finds the whole spectacle a bit ridiculous. Danny would much rather spend his time doing more preparation for the Super Bowl with his teammates and coaches. Instead, he has to sit for what feels like forever answering questions. Despite being a Communications major in college, talking to the media isn't exactly Danny's favorite thing to do. 

He does it with grace though because it's his job. However, Danny usually always says the same things and he keeps his answers basic. The Media Day circus is something else entirely. The somewhat asinine questions that are asked makes Danny understand a guy like Marshawn Lynch not wanting to talk to the media. 

Some of the questions are light and there are even a few of them that are funny and entertaining. He takes a sip of his gatorade and he listens intently to the question that he's being asked. He has to try really hard not to roll his eyes when he gets asked another extremely silly question. Danny glances at his watch and he calculates that he has time to answer one more question. 

"Which one of your teammates do you think is the most attractive?" A reporter asks. 

Huh. Danny closes his mouth because he's not exactly sure what to say. It's honestly something that he has never really thought about. Danny has to hurry up and say something though before the reporter comes up with her own conclusions by his non-answer. 

Danny nervously scratches his neck. "Uh . . . " 

"I won't name any names, but a few of your teammates said that you were the most attractive guy on the team," She tells him with a smirk. 

"I don't have a good answer to this question. I'm sorry," Danny apologizes with an awkward smile on his face.

It has been an hour since Danny has finished answering questions and he's back in his hotel room. He's lounging in one of the big, comfy chair in his room as he idly flips through the channels. There's nothing on that he wants to watch, so he just casually tosses the remote onto his bed. He runs his hand down his face and he sighs. 

Danny is frustrated because he hasn't been able to get that reporter's question out of his mind. He's not entirely certain why he keeps fixating on it. It's not that Danny has never looked at another guy and judged his looks before. But thinking about his teammates and their level of attraction is just really . . . weird to him.  

Danny sees the guys in various states of undress a lot so he doesn't want to think about his teammates in any type of sexual way. The knock at his door brings him out of his thoughts. He looks through the peephole and he smiles when he sees that it's his best friend Julian. He opens the door and steps out of the way so that Jules can walk in. 

"Hey Amenbrola, what's up?" Julian greets. 

"Nothing much, man," Danny replies quickly.  

"You don't sound like yourself. You ok?" Jules wants to know. 

Danny wants to lie and tell Julian that he's fine, but he knows that there's no point. Jules has always been able to see right through Danny so he has always been unsuccessful trying to lie. Julian sits down in the chair that Danny was previously occupying, so Danny takes the chair right across from Jules. He takes a deep breath before he speaks.
