Chapter Two : Heaven's Gate

"Daniel!" I shouted. "What do you want for dinner?"

It's been 3 days since I've been staying here at Daniel's house and it's been fun. We spent a lot of our time together, doing the usual stuff we did whenever we were bonding. My mom called in a couple of times to check how things were going, I told her it was great. Meanwhile, she said she's having the best time of her life with Aunt Carrie.

I hear footsteps nearing the kitchen signaling that Daniel is on his way.

"Anything Al," He said which a grin on his face.

"I'll eat anything you cook."

"So, is it alright if I put poison in your food?" I asked him innocently

"Well, let's order take out then"

"Ah, no. There is no way I'm going to let you eat take out when I am capable to cook." I told him sternly.

"That's what I love about you Al. You're the only teen I know who can cook a hearty meal." He said laughing as he walked away from the kitchen.

"And stop calling me Al!" I shouted.

"Okay, Grace!" he countered.

I groaned. Great, it's not enough to be called Grace, I had to be called Al too. Like a freaking dude.

After an hour I finally got dinner ready and Daniel and I ate in the family room. Back when we were 11 or so we would always eat dinner on their family room or any other room except where the dining table is at. You see, there was this time when I came over to one of his sophisticated family dinner with his dad's family. He and I were such kids back then that we would bicker and laugh like we were the only ones on the table. And since his dad is not the biggest fan of childish behavior, well, let's just say we hated that big ass dining table ever since.

I was now perched up on the chair of his study table doing some of the homeworks I was finishing. When suddenly Daniel came in.

"Hey, what are you doing?" he asked while stripping down his shirt then his pants.

"Homework." I told him with a bored voice.

"Homework? You could be staring at my glorious body and you're doing homework?"

I turned to face him. "Dan, I've already seen you in briefs and I've already seen you run around naked remember?" he instantly became slightly tensed on the remark of the past.

You see, at around 8th grade, Daniel and his friends were running around the pool of their backyard. They were pulling each other's swim trunks and what nots while I was sitting idly on a chair nearby reading a book because I seriously don't want to join in. I looked up once and one minute Daniel had his underwear and the next minute he was naked as he was the day he was born.

"And besides, you always sleep beside me wearing boxers only. So, I don't really see the point of staring"I shrugged. Holding back a chuckle at the face he was making. Embarrassed, humiliated, infuriated...

"You promised me you wouldn't bring that up again" He hissed.

"Well, you were asking for it. It's better to do my homework rather than to stare at your fat body and your little birdi-"

"Oh that's it!" he said lunging at me. Carrying me to the bed pinning me down.

"What the heck?" I said. He was tickling me vigorously that I almost couldn't breathe. "S-stop!" I told him while laughing and giggling.

"I will, but swear an oath first that you would not ever recall that incident again and you would not ever call me fat and you would not ever ever call my dick little." he said as he stopped tickling me but still pinned me down to the bed and waited for me to catch my breath. After a few minutes of composing myself, he still stared at me intently.

"Well?..." Well what?

Oh yeah, the Oath. He can't be serious right?

"You can't be serious with the oath thingy right?" I said, voicing out my thoughts.

"Oh, I am serious about that oath thingy." he told me while glaring playfully.

"Fine. I, Alexis Grace Peters, solemnly swear on an oath that Daniel Augustus Waters made me make, that I would never ever ever recall that incident when I saw him naked by the pool," He glared at me some more. "where was I? Oh, and to never call him fat and to never call his dick little. Upon breaking this oath I shall see my self at heaven's gate." I finished.

"There happy?"

"Yes, but wait here and don't move." he stood up and walked by the light switch and flicked it off. Then returned to bed and lay down on his side of the bed positioning himself under the blankets.

"Time to sleep." he told me, looking at me while I was looking at his study table thinking about my unfinished homework. "And no, you can't finish your homework. It's time to sleep." I sighed and gave in positioning my self beside him with my back against him.

He pulled me to his chest since this is what we usually do when we have sleepovers. We would stay in one bedroom with him hugging me tightly to him like he was afraid of losing me or something. To be honest, I kind of like it. To feel so wanted and secured.

"You know even if you break that oath, I would do everything just to keep you from heaven's gate" he murmured against me hair.

"I know," I sighed. "Goodnight Danny." I whispered to him finding myself really tired and ready to doze off.

"Good night Alexis. Please don't go knocking on heaven's gate. I don't know what I would do lose you".
