Daniel left my bedroom shortly after. Surprisingly, there was no awkwardness surrounding us, Daniel stayed respectful. He gave me a few more kisses before he helped me get changed into my outfit for the day.

I sat down in front of my mirror, applying some makeup before picking the courage up to go downstairs again. I stared at myself for a while, inspecting every part of my face, questioning what was going on with me; how did anyone have this affect on me? I've always been stubborn and strong willed, never letting myself become overcome with emotion and never letting myself become so affected by a man before.

With Jason, I remained quiet but I never let myself become so involved with the behaviour he displayed to me. Even in the beginning, when we first met and I believed our relationship was something out of a fairytale, my naivety playing a massive part in remaining with him, I didn't get bothered with his actions. I never felt fireworks every time he kissed me, I never blushed at his compliments and I never felt myself gravitating towards him as much as I do with Daniel.

All of these emotions are new to me, confusing my mind and blinding my vision. Today's encounter, to put it politely, was now evidence to me that Daniel had me right where he wanted me, I would simply do anything for him, give myself to him whenever he demanded or whenever he requested. I was there, I was his.

However, I didn't want anyone to know about my feelings towards him. I wanted a quiet life in which Daniel and I could sneak off without the prying eyes of everyone else. Our secret kiss burning deep inside my core and today's activity has spurred me on. I enjoy having our secrets, it made my connection with him seem so wrong but also so right. It made our relationship spark, only knowing I can touch him when nobody is looking, that I can tease him without the suspecting eyes of the group.

I brushed my hair, so it now fell down past my shoulders. Do I tell Rachel? With the feelings she had towards the Australian, I couldn't. Not right now anyways.

But she knows me better than most and she will soon start to suspect something. But for now, I will keep everything under wraps. Labelling our relationship in the past has only caused complications. I wanted to have fun and be in the moment, caring very little about the implications of our actions.

As soon as I was ready, I sprayed on some perfume and walked back downstairs. Daniel and Michael were sat on their phones as the TV blasted away in the background, neither of them paying attention to the film on the screen. Daniel looked up as I walked in, winking at me behind Michael's back causing my stomach to flip, butterflies erupting. I felt like a school girl with her first crush, so giddy with emotions.

"Are you two going to sit on your phones all day?" I asked and leaned up against the doorframe, placing a hand on my hip.

"And what do you suggest we do today then?" Michael raised his voice and lifted an eyebrow at my sassy expression.

"I don't know, but we could go outside, where the three-dimensional people are?" I scoffed as Michael sunk further into his chair and looked more content with his phone than what my words were offering him.

"I'll come out with you." Daniel stood up and brushed his jeans off.

"Are you going to be alright, alone with him?" Michael answered, pointing at Daniel and then back towards me.

"I think I'll live." I laughed as Daniel walked out of the room, quickly followed by me. "Bye Mikey."

"Yeah, bye Mikey!" Daniel dragged out his voice and laughed at my new nickname for his friend. Michael stuck his middle finger up at us as we laughed, swiftly leaving the house.
