My Best Friend's Brother (editing soon)

Chapter 7

I always knew. I always knew she had a brother. I just never met him. And here I am, on a date with him, his arm wrapped around my waist. She doesn't look anything like him. She's always talking about how he's a bad person, but he's so sweet, and funny and beautiful.

"Are you okay?" Daniel asks, "you look a bit pale."

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"You sure?"

"Yeah, I just realized something, is all."

"What did you just realize?"

"Something I should have realized a long time ago?"

"And it was..."

"Daniel, I just realized, that you, my friend, are my best friends brother."

"Yes, I am."

"How come I've never seen you before?"

"Well, whenever Sophie has a friend over, I hide in my bedroom."

"But, we've known each other since we were 4 years old, and you've never made an appearance?"

"I guess not."

"Huh. Okay then. this is news."

"I guess it is."

"Why didn't Sophie tell me?"

"I told her not to. I wanted to tell you myself." Daniel wraps me up in a hug.

"Look," he starts to say, "I'm so happy I'm here with to you..."

"I'm happy I'm here too."

"I thought maybe, since we're both pretty happy about it, if you.. you know.." My stomach dropped. I wanted this, I wanted it so bad.

"I know. And I would love to."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, why not?" He opens his mouth slightly, in shock, knowing what to say.

"Close your mouth, you'll catch flies."
"Sorry. I just-I-I-I don't know what to say, I-"

"I know," I put my finger to his lips.

"It's okay."

"I like you."

"I like you too."

"You do?"

"Yeah. Are you okay?"

"In shock, is all." I take his hand and we go to a dock over the water. We sit there, talking when I hear an annoying voice.

"What the heck is going on?" I turn my head around to see Tanya, the little, ugly Christmas tree.

"Tanya?"

"What?"

"What are you doing here? You look different."

"My daddy got me a nose job."
"That's nice. I'm a little busy at the moment. I'll see you around okay?"
"Are you on a date?"

"Yes, now leave."

" You are on a date? With my ex-boyfriend?" I look at Daniel.

"You dated her?" I ask him.

"No. Who are you?" He asks her.

"Don't you remember me? I'm Tanya Woods."

"I never dated anyone named Tanya."

"Maybe you were drunk. Well, Tootles!" And she sashayed away.

"You didn't actually date her, did you?"

"No, and I've never had a drink in my life."

"Okay." We both smile about how stupid she was. Daniel turns to face the ocean,
We get in the car, and we drive home in silence. He arrives at my house, and I say goodbye.
"Goodnight, sweet Jade." Daniel says.
"Goodnight." I close the car door and walk inside. I'm home alone. I get myself ready for bed, and slowly drift to sleep.
