Downfall

12.

"So where are we going?" She asked as I walked back in the kitchen. "No where" I responded with a smile.

She didn't expect that to say the least.

She tilted her head a little. "You're using your date to take me nowhere?"

"Exactly" I laughed. She was confused about that, but that's exactly what I wanted.

"Follow me" I said as I nodded to the living room. Most of the time, my living room was nothing special or at least not that cosy or romantic.

But trust me, I put some effort in this because impressing someone as Daisy, wasn't easy.

She was used to expensive things, luxury things, people giving her the best rooms, food and whatever.

"Are we gonna Netflix and chill?" She narrowed her eyes.

Fuck, did she think I did this just to have sex with her?
Well, ultimately I wouldn't mind having her naked under me.

Damn, having her naked on top of me wouldn't be too bad either.

But that wasn't my goal by inviting her here. I just wanted to have her experience a cute night.

"Depends what you mean by chill, I don't kiss on the first date" I nudged her.

And it made her smile.

Mission accomplished.

"It's perfect, I love it" she turned her head to me, grabbed my hand and pulled me with her to the couch.

We watched a few movies together, mainly just sitting next to each other, but after a while she grabbed the blanket and cuddled up next to me.

In my arms.

She smelled amazing, she always did.

I didn't even know what movie we were watching anymore, I was too distracted by her.

I brushed my fingers against her arm and she didn't seem to mind.
We never really touched that much, never kissed.

We always got out of awkward situations by just looking at each other and for some reason people believed that we were dating just by the way we looked in each other's eyes.

Made me believe I might have a chance with her, how unbelievable that may sound.

"It's late" she yawned. "I should go back to my hotel"

"You can sleep here if you want" I said, but immediately realized how wrong that may have sounded. "I have a spare bedroom"

"Okay" she nodded. "Might have to steal another shirt then"

"Whatever you want princess" I laughed, pulled her up with me and took her to the bedroom.

Not in the kind of way I wanted though.

"So if there is anything you need, you know where I sleep" I smiled, referring to our first night together.

"Yeah" she nodded. "Can't forget that night"

But I'm pretty sure she did forget about it, because she thought we actually had sex.
Which wasn't the case at all.

"Good night" I said, turning back around. "Wait!" She said as she took a step closer.

"Thank you Lando, for tonight, but also for doing this for me."

I leaned against the doorframe and looked at her. Even without makeup or an expensive dress, she looked absolutely amazing.

"That's okay, I gained a lot of followers too, so it also has perks for me."

"Right.." she looked down, only for a second before looking up again. "Good night"

"Good night Daisy" I tapped the doorframe and walked back to my room.

I laid down in my bed, looking up at the ceiling.

I totally blew that, said exactly the thing she didn't want to hear.
She already felt as if people were using her, and now I made it sound as if I was using her for followers.

I couldn't care less about that.

I had to fix this tomorrow, had to make sure she knew I liked her for her.
Not because what she was, but for who she was.

People looked at her and saw Barbie or Harley Quinn but I didn't.

I saw someone who was pretending to love the life she was living, because people thought she was the luckiest girl on earth.

But she wasn't. She wasn't lucky, nor happy.

And I just didn't know what to do to fix this.
