Forbidden Love (A Daniel Sahyounie Fanfic)

Chapter 5

Anna's POV

Daniel and I are have been hanging out as much as we can without making my brothers suspicious. My brothers being as protective as they are ask me a million and one questions before going out with my friends. So when I have to lie about where I am going because I am hanging out with Skip I have to make sure it sound legit. I hate lying to my brothers but I really like Skip. I love being around him. He always knows how to put a smile on my face and he is so much fun to be around. We are not official yet.. Actually I don't know what you would call us. We haven't really kissed since that night in my kitchen. We have gone nine days without even mentioning the kiss. It has been nine days since I kissed Skip and we pretend like it has never happen. Sometimes it brothers me. We have kept things on a friendly base since I told Daniel I want to take things slow. However sometimes I feel like slow is too slow. I am hoping any day now he will ask me to be his girlfriend.

Tonight Daniel and I are suppose to hang out at his house for a bit before going to watch a movie. I slip on a pair of my favourite high-rise jean shorts and a graphic t-shirt. I slip on my converse and as I open the door to go outside I see Daniel's car on the driveway. My heart stops in my chest. There Daniel and my brothers are talking. Daniel is leaning against his car with both hands dug deep into his front pockets. Daniel glances at me from the corner of his eyes and takes a double take. He frowns and bites his lip beforing glancing back at the boys. Being the curious person I am, I walk over to my brothers. Hoping Daniel didn't blow his cover and they are outside yelling at him. "Hey Anna are you going out?", Jai asks me with a smile on his face.

"Well I was but I don't know if I am anymore". I look over at Daniel who remains silent. His hands remain in his pocket as he stares at the floor avoiding all eye contact with me. I feel my heart break a little inside.

"Change of plans?", Jai replies.

"I guess so", I quietly spoke.

"Tell mom I am walking over to Andrea house. I am just going to go there instead".

"What time are you coming home at?".

"Text me when you are there!".

I brush them off. I can't believe Daniel. If there was a change of plans why didn't he text me. I quickly walk to Andrea's house hoping she would be home but she isn't. I don't have many friends beside my two best friends James and Andrea and some friends from school.. However they are not in walking distance. Not wanting to go back home and face my brothers and Daniel I walk over to the park which is only two blocks away from my house. It is almost 7 o'clock, so the park is empty. A sigh escapes my lips as I walk over to the swings. I haven't been to this park in ages but this place holds a lot of memories. All the times my brothers and I would play here as kids. My favorite thing at the park was always the swings. Beau would always push me on them. Him being protective as he was even at the age of 10 would never push me as high as I wanted to go. He was always afraid I would fall off and get hurt and then it would be all this fault. I would always have to call over Jai, and make him push me. A smile grows on my face thinking back to my childhood. I kind of miss running through this park, playing hide and seek having no cares in the world being a kid.I take a sit on the rusty old swings and begin to push myself back and forth, digging my feet into the sand. I sit there quietly swinging back and forth enjoying the feeling of the cool breeze which blows my hair back every time I swing.

I still haven't got a explanation from Daniel explaining why he canceled.

My phone rings and it is Daniel. I hesitate picking it up at first but I answer.

"Anna where are you?".

"Why?".

"Are you Andrea's house?".

"No she wasn't home", I briefly spoke.

"Anna I want to come see you where are you".

"The park near my house", I sigh before hanging up.

Moment later I see Daniel pulls up in his car down the street. I sigh and roll my eyes. I am not in the mood to talk to him at the moment. I know I am probably acting stupid because he didn't really do anything but still. He could have called or texted me. He walks over to me and takes a seat on the swing beside me. I look down to the floor digging my feet into the sand. I am probably getting sand in my shoes but I don't care. We sit silent for a moment before Daniel broke the silence. "I am sorry about what happened today. I should have texted you and warned you. I should not have embarrassed you like that".

"Daniel, you did not only embarrassed me. You canceled our plans without telling me and almost blew our cover", I shout angrily at him.

"I know. But your brothers want to hang out today and it would have looked suspicious if I said no and you were going out and I was scared of getting caught. I am the worst at telling lies! The boys can see through me when I tell a lie...I know I shouldn't chose my friends over my-" Daniel pauses, and gulps as he looks down.

Over his what. His other friend? I am not his girlfriend, since Daniel has failed to ask me to be it.

"Please Anna. Don't be mad at me. I don't want our first fight to be over something stupid like this".

"I don't like fighting or being mad at you either".

Daniel smiles entwines his fingers with mine.

"If you want my parents aren't going to be home tonight, why don't you come over".

"I think I should just stay home tonight".

Daniel sighs. "Well I should go. Want me to drive you home?".

"No, it's okay", I don't mind walking, since it is so nice out tonight.

"You aren't still mad at me right?", he questions innocently.

"No babe", I smile before leaning in to kiss his cheek.

"Goodnight", He smiles before walking away.
