DANIELLE'S P.O.V:

"BEEP BEEP"

The buzz of my phone vibrating on the little table next to me woke me up from my sweet slumber. I glanced at it, noting the time as 5:30am. Who the fuck texts someone at this time of the morning?

I decided to ignore it, hopefully the person would take the hint and go to sleep, like a normal person. My head was rested on the pillow within the next five seconds, hopefully I could make the most of the thirty minutes I had left before I actually had to get up.

The pinging sound resounded through my room again and I gave up, picking up the phone to find out who the zombie was. What I found were two texts from Daniel:

Danny <3 : Hey Sleepyhead.
Danny <3 : Come on Ella...answer me.

Rolling my eyes, my fingers fiddled round the keyboard when another text came in.

Danny <3 : If I don't get a reply in the next minute, I'll start throwing things at your window.

Yeah... my boyfriend's weirder than yours.

I texted him back a quick reply.

Me : Hey❤️

The phone indicated he had read it, then I was graced with his caller ID, mind you it's still that early in the morning. I shook my head and answered the call.

"Hey beautiful, how's your sleep?" He asked, a mocking tone could be heard in his voice.

"Horrible, since you don't know what 'I'm ignoring your text because I want to sleep means" I replied him. How he could be so alert at such a time baffles me.

"Oh come on Ella, there's just 30 minutes left till you had to wake up, I barely saw much of a difference" He tried explaining.

"Yeah of course you didn't see much of a difference, aren't you like a zombie or something? Plus, a lot of energy could be accumulated and reserved in a thirty minute nap Daniel" I explained, confused as to why we were having this conversation at this time of the morning.

"So basically you're dating a zombie yeah?" He asked and I could hear the smirk in his voice.

"Put a sock in it Turner" I rolled my eyes, finally getting up from the bed. I instantly missed the feel of it and the fact that I had to wait for hours before I could get back to it just made my mood even more sour.

"Do it yourself Anderson. I'm restricted from calling my girlfriend now?" He asked, "Or is it the crankiness talking?"

"Don't call me at odd hours of the morning Daniel, I won't answer you next time" I stated, walking into the bathroom.

"Yeah okay, how about this, I give you a massage today then we'll talk about that. We all know I'd be a great masseuse if I wasn't a basketball player". I started to believe he had gone crazy at that point.

"A masseuse, Daniel, really?"

"Better believe it baby, I'd be every girl's dream and you know it".

"You'd be their dream and my nightmare in a heartbeat, so think that one through before flattering yourself at 5 in the morning".

He chuckled, " Aww, my baby's jealous isn't she? Don't worry I'm all yours and you're mine".

I scoffed, "Pssh, that's assetifying. I'm no one's property young sir".

He sighed, "But at least you're my girlfriend, or has changed?"

"I'm Danielle Anderson, definitely nobody's property, that's for sure" I stated.
