I was up early this morning, and I immediately grabbed some clothes, heading for a shower. The hot water suddenly turned to cold about halfway through and I groaned. Riley must have showered last night. She always hogs the water, and she doesn't even need all of it. She's so skinny, and her hair is incredibly short, so why does she constantly use all of the hot water? That's probably one of the main mysteries of life.
Either way, I was nearly freezing when I got out, and had to wrap myself in my robe just to bring my temperature up a few degrees. She came out of her room, looking bright as she grabbed her bag from the counter. "I have classes today but you're helping the guys right? Since you don't start work until next week?" Riley asked and I nodded, another shiver running through my body.
"Stop hogging all the hot water. My shower was freezing." I whined, pulling my wet hair into a towel to dry. She rolled her eyes and left the apartment. My phone suddenly ran from inside my room and I dashed to my bed to answer it. "Hey, what's up?"
"Anya, I need help. You wanna come and watch Emma with me?" Danny's voice was heard through the ear piece and I chuckled.
"Sure, I'll be over in five, but I'm taking your food." I smiled and ended the call, grabbing the door of my closet.
I got dressed in a t-shirt and jeans, then grabbed my converse. It was something I wore a lot when I was a teen. I was missing something. My bag, right. I tossed it over my shoulder and locked the door behind me. I was lucky enough to snag a basic stroller last night on my way home, courtesy of my aunt. Her little girl was around five now, and she said I could borrow it until she gave birth to the boy inside her. It was just for until Ben got one for his own. Kind of like a rental.I pulled up to their apartment building and hauled the stroller with me, bringing it up. "Hey, I brought Emma her ride!" I grinned as I opened the door and saw Danny with Emma, playing with a bottle cover. I had to stifle a 'awe' before I made him feel feminine and soft, so I quickly let the urge to coo over the sight subside, then continued in with the stroller.
My hair was pulled into a basic side braid and I felt a tug on it as I sat myself beside the two. "Hey, pull on your own hair, short stack." I teased, takin my hair from her hands.
She blew a raspberry at me and I stuck my tongue out at her. I was really getting used to the whole babysitting thing. It kind of felt normal now.
Ever since last night, me and Danny have been slightly awkward. He had carried me to his bed and just let me sleep there until Riley came. He claimed I kept making faces in my sleep, so he eventually woke me up when Riley got home, then she took the car since I was still in my half-awake, half-asleep phase.
I blushed lightly as I thought about the man next to me. What was I to do? He was in love with my best friend, for god's sake! How on earth did I get myself in this mess? I heard a sigh and glanced up, seeing Danny now bowing his head. "What's wrong with you?" I asked, and although I didn't mean it, it came out slightly harsh.
"Nothing." He answered quickly.
"Tell me." I pressed, a demanding tone in my voice.
"Fine. My friend met someone. She's beautiful. He's always rambling on that she's the most perfect person in the world, and how her smile makes him feel warm, and it sounds like he's in love. Do you think he's in love?" He admitted, spewing his words out quickly.
I instantly knew he was talking about himself and Riley. Anyone could see that. A blind guy could see it. He was so obvious when talking about her, he has this sparkle in his eyes. That's why I'm not going to tell him about my crush. I'm not going to tell him that his smirk makes me squirm, or that the devilish gleam in his eyes when he's up to something, gives me a giddy feeling, or that his body made me want to undress myself right in front of him. I couldn't do that to him or Riley, no matter how in love she is with Ben. It's somewhere in the girl code, right?
I was really over-thinking, wasn't I? God, I was such a dweeb, I can't even think straight when I'm around him, he really messes me up. I suddenly realize I haven't responded and quickly speak up, "I think he's infatuated with the idea of love. I'm going to need proof that he likes her for who she is on the inside."
He nodded, with a determined look on his face. "Alright, I can get you proof."
