After the crazy experience I just had, everyone started to head home. I took my bike and I was about to leave, it was getting late. I was kind of floating, my thoughts were wandering all over the place. I had an adrenaline rush and I did not want to go to sleep. Daniel joined me for a walk. We talked a little and then all of a sudden he asked:

-Do you want to come at my apartment?

I looked at him, intrigued.

-What do you want to do?

He raised his shoulders and placed his hands in his pockets.

-We could... watch Netflix and chill.

I always like a good movie. I normally prefer doing those activities with Mallory than always going out. We always go to my apartment for a girl's sleepover when she needs space from her boyfriend.

-Ok, sounds good. I responded.

I mean, why not? Daniel had been nothing but nice to me and I did not want to end the night at t the moment. He gave me a smile. He is so cute. I'm not really attracted to him though. Daniel just seems like a girl's best friend. She would call him Dani, because it's cute. Well, it sounds cute to me.

We arrived at his apartment and he hid my bike in the lobby. He opened the door of his apartment, it was actually tidy and it looked very welcoming. The walls were grey and the furniture was mostly white and blue.

A delicious smell escaped from the kitchen. I would not say no to a late night snack. Daniel showed me the living room.

-So, what movie do you want to watch?

-You choose. I say as I sit down.

-Breakfast club? He asked me.

-Yes! I love that movie.

We started to watch the movie and Daniel put an arm around me. I think he got the wrong idea. This is so weird, I don't know how to get out of this situation without being mean about it. I never really been in this kind of situation. I had one boyfriend in college and that was it. I don't know what to do about this. I did not sign up for this.

His arm slowly went down my lower waist. Oh god, oh no, oh no, oh no. An alarm went off in my head and I was a little irritated. I tensed under his movement and shifted uncomfortably. Ok so this is what Netflix and chill means... I made a mental note that it does not mean exactly what I thought it did. Basically, it's just an excuse to cuddle and to make approaches.

-Oh, I did not know you had company.

A voice behind startled us and Daniel took his arm off me and screamed like a little girl. I had a big grin on my face, his face expression was pretty hilarious. Also, this interruption gave me the opportunity to make a distance between Daniel and me. I do not want to be cuddling.

I turned around to see the source of the voice and met two incredibly familiar eyes. They were even more mesmerizing than before. His pupils seemed even bigger and I could not take my eyes off of them. He was dressed in old comfy clothes but he still looked attractive. Daniel said in a sigh:

-Ethan, I thought you had a date tonight.

-I cancelled.

Daniel raised an eyebrow:

-Why?

-I needed some me time.

That was pretty funny coming from a guy. I smiled picturing Ethan in a pampering session. Daniel seemed to think the same thing than me because he also grinned:
