''the paper was so painful'' i spoke in vain and daniel snickered. ''well the museum might calm you'' he spoke with smile. his hand wrapped around my waist. ''yes daniel a museum is so fun'' i mumbled being utterly sarcastic. as soon as we reached into the room, daniel threw his bag onto his bed. ''i will freshen up first. change by then'' daniel let out as he walked off the room. i walked to my closet to choose an outfit. staring at the pile of clothes for a minute straight, i picked up a white skirt and top. i tugged then outside to our room. i started to unbutton my already worn shirt.

 suddenly, daniel's phone hummed lightly over the bed. 

with simple curiosity i walked over to his bed and  picked up his phone , bringing it closer to my sight. he had received texts from angela. more anxiousness rose in my chest. the text flashed at the notification bar. 

wow, these pictures are so perfect. i wish i could date without some side bitch fucking my bf.

gosh i thought she wouldnt come with us to the museum. 

good job, assuring her dani :) 😘

i read the texts and i expected to read the older ones too.  why was she so inappropriate with him? and from what daniel had told me, he wasn't very close to angela anymore. many thought ran in my mind but suddenly the door shortly opened up. i see daniel stepped in looking at me. his eyes fell upon his phone held in my hand. he quickly walked over to me and snacthed it away. ''what are you doing baby?'' he said and i sighed out. 

''what pictures is she talking about?'' i asked him and he looked over at his phone a little confused. a soft chuckle left his mouth. ''they were pictures of this girl who is dating angela's boyfriend. she is being cheated on. the other day, i saw them kissing so i clicked them and sent it to angel'' he mumbled as he sat on his bed.

''oh really? show me'' i stressed as i stared into his eyes. he sighed out as he looked away for a second and then back into my eyes. ''do you not trust me?''  he asked me with firmness in his voice.  daniel unlocked his phone and scrolled to gallery. after swiping off a few photos he showed me the photo of a boy kissing a girl.

 i took the phone in my hand and looked at the picture. that boy was indeed the boy who i had caught angela in our dorm. i bit my lower lip as regret took over me. ''happy?'' he let out with obvious irritation in his voice. '' i am sorry i-'' i couldn't even complete my sentence. daniel got up and started to walk away. ''i will wait for you in the car'' he spoke with a void and i sighed sadly. it was my fault. i quickly headed down. as expected, daniel was sitting in the car scrolling through his phone. his mood not very cheery anymore. 

i shouldn't have asked him so straightforward. i stepped towards the car timidly and got in. he didn't look at me. he started the engine and began to drive. ''daniel, i am sorry'' i finally broke the killing silence in the car after 5 minutes. he didn't say anything but just kept his eyes glued to the road. 'i really didn't mean-'' i chimed again. ''let not talk now. i am driving'' he let out coldly. after a long, painful drive we reached the museum, daniel stationed the car and we both walked towards the entrance. he didn't hold me or my hand. 

nor he spoke any word. angela,  adam and eliza were standing at the entry. ''hey'' angela squealed cheerfully and daniel responded with a smile. an obvious fake one. adam sensed something was wrong already since he furrowed his eyebrows looking at me and mouthed 'what happened.' ignoring every possible thing happening beside me i wrapped arms around daniel's. we all started to roam around. daniel and i were alone in one of the painting alleys. a few other visitors with us but no one knew us. adam and the group had found something more interesting in other sections and i bet by something more interesting they had found the food counter. ''daniel can we please talk?'' i spoke as i tugged on daniel's shirt. 

he had his eyes fixed on a painting but then he looked over at me. ''about how you think i am cheating on you with angela?''
