Diamonds For Dinner.

Chapter 21

After a few days of getting to know each other, We decided we would write 5 or 6 songs together on my album.
Daniel was really handsome. Everytime he would sing a note, all the abandoned houses in my heart would become lively again. His voice was manly, strong, deep but something light in his voice made his voice was so unique. It wasn't that deep, it was deep like an ocean yet shallow. It was hard to explain how his voice was. Something you've never heard before and truth it was, I had never had Daniel sing live before. Only on the electronic devices but listening to his voice live was the real melody.
Daniel wasn't the type of guy who would go around with a different girl everyday. In fact, he told me he was also staying at a hotel in Toronto since his own house was in London.
In a matter of days, Daniel became my reason to live in Toronto and from what he said, I became his.
Daniel told me the last time he had a girlfriend was that he couldn't even remember and told me he had been single since months but would occasionally have one night stands but that wasn't something new to me since he was rich, famous and I didn't even expect him to be so clean anyway.
We would talk about everything but I never told Daniel about James or Brad because I wanted the past to be left behind and I wasn't afraid of telling Daniel about Brad or James but It was just the reason that I didn't wanted to bitterness to follow me everywhere I went.
Being the busy person he was, he probably never read the articles online about me or Brad or James.
C'mon he didn't even knew I was Lana when he saw me on first day.
Or
Maybe he was just making sure I wasn't an imposter.
Whatever.
We were working on the second song on the album, it was a slow love song.
"So what should the second verse be about?" he asked
"Something about falling in love like falling for someone who you just met" I answered
"Okay how about I fell in love like you fell in my arms" he blurted out
"I like that and then add you caught as I fell and fell deep in the slumber of love" I said
"Oh that's nice" he continued "Have you ever fallen for someone?" he asked raising his eyebrow
"No" I answered then continued "have you?"
"Yeah I have but just once" he answered beaming
"When and with whom?" I asked
"I can't tell you"
"Yes you can!" I fought back
"No"
"Okay give me a few hints" I said
"Alright" he continued "She has dark brown hair and light brown eyes"
I started blushing like a tomato and I wanted to rip off my cheeks in protest. He then continued "She's really down to earth and has an amazing voice but she doesn't know how beautiful she is, she always thinks she's not so beautiful but in my eyes she's the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, I really love the way she smiles, am sure if you see her from my eyes you'll know how beautiful she is " he said grinning.
"So what's her name?" I asked trying to hold back the redness forming in my cheeks.
"I can't tell you"
"Okay the first letter" I asked
" It's a L" he blurted out.
I felt like wanting to walk out the studio and scream as loud as possible and I wasn't even sure if it was a scream of joy or sadness.
"There's lots of people with a L as the first letter of their name" I continued "What about the second letter" I asked "It's a...a Lama" "I'm in love with a Lama"
I laughed and so did he.
"A lama? You mean you're in love with an animal?" I asked smirking
"Yeah I am, I love my Lama very much but I don't love it now because of some reason"
"What's the reason?" I asked
"My Lama never said she loved me too" he frowned
"Maybe you need to give your Lama some time to think" I suggested
"But if my Lama was so sure, she would just say it in the blink of an eye"
I protested
"Maybe your Lama doesn't know she's in love" I said smiling
"How do I make her realize she's in love" his eyes set on mine
"You don't. You won't need to" I smiled again
"But then how will I ever know if she ever loved me too" he frowned and then starred laughing as I saw him getting confused. He then continued "Lana, I think we both know I am not in love with a Lama. I'm in love with you its quite obvious" he confessed
"I'm sorry...what did you just say?" I asked widening my eyes. Although I knew he was joking about being in love with a Lama but he never said it with his own mouth that he was talking about maybe I picked up some hints along the way but I never believed them to be true.
"I'm in love with you Landla Ellen and I am more of it than anything I've ever felt for someone else" he said stretching his arms to reach my hands and hold them.
"Daniel..I'm sorry I can't" was all I managed to say and he wrecked. The glow in his eyes faded. He looked like he was about to take his last dying breath.
I wanted to hold him in my arms and tell him how much I loved him when he told me he loved me. Daniel was broken, I recognized him being broken because I saw the same expression on him that I had seen on my face when James betrayed me.
I loved Daniel. I was sure of it.
We grew so close to each other in the last week, we would spend everyday together and he changed me, my perspective on life changed because of him. Before meeting him I thought I was going nowhere, refusing to go back home. I was a mess in many ways but he reminded me to smile the way I smiled when I was with him was something new, I had never smiled like that.
Daniel didn't said anything to me, he just got off the sofa and stormed out of the studio and I didn't follow him.
But I saw his face before leaving, just getting a glimpse of it and I saw tears.
I couldn't believe it, he was crying.
Because of me.
One moment we were sitting in the studio writing a song and the next moment one of us is crying.
Life truly changes, faster than seasons.
