But On the Inside.

The Date and the Lake part 2

Danny's P.O.V 

     After a long and I mean long game of keep-away with Sam we dropped onto the blanket that I had laid out before we broke into a soccer game. "Danny I haven't played soccer in so long. That really brought back memories. Thank you so much," Sam said hugging me with so much force she could've crushed my ribs. But it's not worse than a blindsided sack that's for sure. "Hey no problem, you are really good, though. I don't have a clue on why you would want to stop kiddo." "Well my brothers got really into it, so whenever I lost it was a big deal. I hated seeing them upset when I lost so I just quit." "Sam that's part of the game. You can't just up and leave when you disappoint others. I wouldn't have a career or neither would any athlete if that was how it worked." "Yeah, but you know..." And I just let it trail off. I didn't want to upset her either. We came to have fun. "Okay, let's talk about each other. We came here to get to know each other because I feel like we know nothing and everything about each other," I said standing up and pulling her with me. "Where are we going?" "On a walk bring that box of chocolates will yeah?" She laughed and brought the chocolates on our walk that would reveal so much and bring us closer together.

Sam's P.O.V

     We walked for a minute or two making small talk and telling jokes but then were brought back to silence. "Be open with me pickle. I want to know why a girl like you doesn't have arms wrapped around her waist daily?" I laughed at his way of asking why I'm single and then thought if I should just fess up.  I like Danny but can I? "Um, I lied about my past relationships. I went out with lots of guys in high school. I was out of control. But I got tied down to one during senior year. We went to prom together the whole nine yards. He was my everything at the time. One day he proposed. I was ready but at the same time, I let him go. I said no and he completely flipped and left. I haven't heard of him since. I do know that I let love go and it should have come back by now. It hasn't so I guess moving on was the best thing to do. Nope. Keep getting my heart broken over and over. It's like guys are allergic to me." I laughed and took a random sweet from the box I carried." Your turn DJ, why are you a sing;e pringle?" He looked down and I swear I saw his eyes water which killed me. "She didn't believe in love, she believed in moving in for a year and moving out a couple months later. Literally, broke me. I was thinking about her during a football game and got my arm messed up. Ever sine I think she is plain bad luck. Girls just aren't my specialty when it comes to keeping up with them in  the long run." He sighed and took a chocolate. I wanted to be the girl that made him seem like a pro. One girl's trash boyfriend is another girls happily ever after. That could be a quote. Right? "Hey, Sam?" "Yeah Danny," I said looking up at him." Will you give me my chance now? I promise this is me like it or not. I don't get any uglier and cheesier than a corny picnic and weeks old scruff for a beard. I honestly dreamt about the day I'd find a girl like you. What do you say?" His choice of words made me giggle, his words made me shiver, his face gave me butterflies, and his touch sent me to heaven. "I don't know Danny I... I'm kidding come here," I laughed opening my arms wide open. He picked me up in one swift movement and hugged with so much care it was super romantic. "Babe, it's about damn time." That's all he had to say to make me melt. We held hands and told jokes. Whoever made the other laugh got a chocolate. Just the idea of the picnic was so cute. Danny was like the Tumblr perfect boyfriend I needed. The one that was serious when I asked him to be. The guy that would make me laugh at the right time. "Watcha thinking bout?" He asked as we reached the 'campsite'. "Not much. I just need an opinion. Adult to adult. There's this job at a high school for girls soccer varsity coach. The same amount paid as a normal teacher. Do you think I should take it just while you know, I figure stuff out?" "If it makes you happy, yes. Life isn't about that, love. If being homeless makes you happy then so be it. That's what it's about." He lay on his back and  I did the same. "What's on your mind," I barely even whispered but I knew he heard me. "Just life in general. You and Jules went to the extent of making sure I was alright. I thank you guys for that. This dehydration wasn't only fluids it was my mind being sucked away by the fame. Does that make sense?' "Yes, but I feel like that's straight up weird. Like, were going to be the couple that ends up in a mental hospital." " That's okay. So, anything you lied to me about?" he asked with a smirk on his face. I laughed slightly. "Well, no. I just was scared to open up to you. I mean I had a crush. It was high school all over again. But now," I said rolling on top of him playfully," I can be me. So I must tell you that I save my toenail clippings in jars." "Yeah, okay Samantha and I have ten dead bodies in my locker. No, but seriously, it's about damn time you said yes. Come here," he said pulling into his big strong arms. "You know there something about you shorty,  can't put my finger on it. Am I scaring you away?" Danny said with a sudden change in tone. Like he was scared or something," Not at all I feel a mutual connection." "Great, because I feel like I'm being too open," he sighed a heavy sigh. Like he was holding something in. It made me feel so happy that Danny opened up, unlike other guys. He just wanted to tell me that he really did like me. And I just wanted to do the same, though something in my gut told me he was going to be to much for me. He was just a better everything. He was to good for me. That was a fact and on the inside I knew he knew. I'd let it go, for now I lay in his arms staring up at the sky and it's beautiful shades of red and pink.
