Angelique's POV

Daniel was moving in with Seth today, who thankfully made a full recovery after 2 months in the hospital. Because of the amounts of wolfsbane he was injected with, it took him a lot longer to heal than normal.

I wasn't too thrilled about him leaving. He'd been staying with us the whole time until Seth was released, and I was already so used to having him with me almost all the time.

I knew he'd be okay living with Seth, I mean, technically he is his dad. Daniel still calls him Seth though. I think Seth would prefer to be called dad but the two of them are too awkward to actually have a conversation about it. It was kind of cute.

The more time I spent with Seth while Daniel and I visited him, the more I noticed more similarities between the two. Not so much the physical aspects, but personality. For starters they've both been making terrible jokes about what's happened. I think that's just how the two of them cope, because after the laugh it's silent for a few short seconds before the next conversation starts.

I was helping Daniel pack up his things from his apartment. He didn't have too much so it was an easy pack, and he still had one more night here before he had to have all his things out. Maya and Jason were here earlier helping, but now it was just the two of us.

I was putting the photo of his mom away at the top of one of the boxes when I felt him snake his arms around my waist and rest his chin on my shoulder.

"You know, I never got to serve you dinner the last time we were here. How bout we order a pizza before we head out?" He asks.

I rest my temple against his and smile. "Sure why not"

Daniel smiles and presses a kiss to the side of my head before walking away to grab his phone.

All his things where pretty much packed away. All that was left was his furniture which included his bed. I sit on the edge of his bed and look around the empty walls. I could hear him ordering the food, and when I heard him say an hour wait was okay, I had a wild idea.

I nervously stand up and grip the bottom of my T-shirt and lift it nervously. Daniel was still on the phone in the living room giving his card information to the pizza place. So this gave me enough time to hype up and psych myself out of this at least 4 times each. When I was psyching myself out of it for the 4th time, Daniel walked back in just as I let my shirt drop back down again.

Shit.

He crosses his arms over his chest and leans against the doorframe. A smirk resting on hips lips.

"Whatcha doing?" He asks knowingly.

"Nothing" I answer stupidly.

Daniel tried to fight his smile when he stands up straight and makes his way towards me. He stops right in front of me, and as we stand toe to toe I feel dizzy by how close he is.

"Let's try that again." He says resting his hands on my hips.

I swallow nervously and clear my throat. What the hell was I supposed to say? "I was going to be naked when you got back but I chickened out 4 times in 4 minutes"

"I uh" I stutter, and the more I stuttered the wider his grin gets. He's almost grinch smiling at me. "Well I was going to try something." I say with a touch of confidence.
