Anyone But You~

The Next Evening: 

Lilly: "Hey! could you clean up the kitchen I'm too tired" 

Hazel nodded with a small smile knowing Lilly is on her periods. 

Hazel: "You can rest up, I'll handle the rest work" 

she gave me a side hug while saying thank you before going away. she started off by washing the dishes first. The others outside decided to go out on a walk. 

Emma: "You're coming too, right?"  she asked Daniel. 

Daniel: "Actually no, I have few emails to look after...you guys carry-on" 

she didn't force him much and everyone else left except for Daniel, Hazel and Lilly. Hazel was busy in cleaning the kitchen while Daniel was in the home office checking emails. That's when he realized Hazel is at home with him. So, when he was done with work he went to the kitchen and found her cleaning the kitchen island. He leaned on the wall beside with his arms crossed on his chest. 

Daniel: "Hey there!!" 

She looked up and smiled at him. 

Hazel: "Hi sir" 

Daniel: "You're not asleep yet?"  

Hazel: "No I had to clean the kitchen before sleeping" 

He nodded. 

Hazel: "You didn't go for the night walk?" 

Daniel: "No I had to look after some work" 

Hazel: "Shall I make you some coffee?" 

Daniel: "Sure, if you're going to drink with me as well" 

she chuckled faintly and nodded. Later she prepared 2 cups of warm coffee and brought it to the garden where he was staring at the sky. 

Hazel: "Sir your coffee" 

She passed him the cup; he smiled and took it not before thanking her. 

Daniel: "So tell me something about yourself Hazel" 

Hazel: "Um...there's not much to talk about me...I'm 22 years old I have divorced parents, so I live with my grandma, and I was born in Switzerland but when I turned 1, we moved here...I'm not graduated but I'm well educated" 

Daniel: "Good" 

Hazel: "Tell me something about yourself too" 

Daniel: *chuckles* "I'm 29 years old, the CEO of my dad's company...I was born and brought up here...not to brag but I'm also a billionaire. I have done master's in business from oxford university"

Hazel: "wow, you're really smart"  

He laughs lightly. 

Daniel: "So what are your hobbies?" 

Hazel: "I like to cook, read novel, listen to music that's it, what about you?" 

Daniel: "I like to travel and go to museums" 

Hazel: "Your hobbies match your personality" 

They both laugh together. 

Daniel: "I'll take it as a compliment" 

For a minute they were completely silent just drinking coffee. 

Daniel: "So you have any boyfriend?" 

Hazel: "No... I have never dated anyone" 

It surprised him. 

Daniel: "why?" 

Hazel: "I don't know...I wasn't quite interested" 

Daniel: "what's your type in men?" 

Hazel: "A man who is older than me, taller than me, knows how to cook, who cares for me a lot and always pampers me"   

She says a little shyly. Daniel chuckles seeing her. 

Daniel: "That's cute" 

Hazel: "what about you?" 

Daniel: "I like women younger than me...someone who understands me really well also who matches my vibe, she should have charm which makes me smile also who can lighten up my mood when I'm down...Dresses up for me" 

Hazel: "Your type is cute as well" 

He chuckled lowly. 

Daniel: "you thought of dating someone?" 

Hazel: "No not really, we'll figure it out later" 

He nods with a small smile. 

Daniel: "Why are you working as a maid...if I can ask?" 

Hazel: "I'm not really good with my financial status...My grandma's getting old and gets sick very often so to support her health also to get going in life" 

she says with a heavy heart. Daniel's heart aches hearing her story, at such a young age where girls party, find their life partners, have fun she just wants to get through her hard times. Out of sympathy he rests his hand on top of her. 

Daniel: "It's going to be okay, don't worry hm?" 

she nods and shows off her dimple smile even though she's in so much problem. They sit on the ground and continue to talk, starting to get to know each other, laughing, making jokes. 

Daniel: "Wanna hear another one?" 

She laughs while nodding. 

Daniel: "why was the math book sad?" 

Hazel: "why?" 

Daniel: "Because it had many problems" 

They laugh together. Even though it's lame they didn't let the vibe die. Hazel began to find an attraction towards him. Daniel also started to like her a little more than before. 

Hazel: "I have one" 

Daniel: "Sure, go ahead" 

Hazel: "why don't skeletons fight each other?"

Daniel: "why?" 

Hazel: "Because they don't have guts" 

They burst out laughing quite loudly. 

Daniel: "I-I have one more" 

Hazel: "tell me" 

Daniel: "why did the tomato turn red?" 

Hazel knew this one so both together completed the rest of the sentence. 

Daniel- Hazel: "Because it saw the salad dressing"   

They once again burst out into a loud laughter.
