Anxious

"And well. I. Um like you."
I pointed to myself confusedly.
"Yeah. And. I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me."

'Like a date?
I wrote on the paper she brought for me.

"yeah. Like a date."

Dani opened the door. "I'm sorry for interrupting. But Allie is mine."

"Wait.. You." She pointed to me. "And you." She pointed to Dani. "Are. Together?"
We both nodded.
"Never mind then." She hung her head and started walking.
I put my hand on her shoulder and she turned around.

'I'm sorry.

She pulled me into a hug. "You know where I'll be if you get lonely." She whispered and winked at me before walking away.

"I know she didn't just-" Dani said and shook her head. She went inside her room and changed.
"Too many hoes are tryna fuck me up today."

I shook my head. 'She's just Lila.

"Did you see what she did? Did you hear what she said?"

'It's okay because I'm not taking her offer. Because you're my one and only. And no one can change that.

She couldn't help but smile at me.
"Stop being cute. I'm pissed off."

'What can I do that will make you feel better?

She pulled me into her and rested her hands on my butt. She kissed me.

We pulled away and she led me outside.

"So many people." I said and almost felt like passing out. She picked me up and I hid my face in the crook of her neck.

"Everyone listen up!" She yelled and everyone paid attention.
"You see this girl here? She's mine. And if you flirt with her or do anything that makes her uncomfortable you and I are gonna have beef. We good?"

Everyone else nodded and we walked back inside.
She went into her room.

"I'll be right back." I said and went back to my room.
I saw Parker was standing outside of the door and he turned to look at me.

"Hey.." He said. I barely made eye contact with him as I walked into my room. I grabbed some clothes and walked out.

He followed me. "Hey."
I kept walking.
"Allie I'm sorry. Please listen to me."
I ignored him again and he grabbed my wrist. He pushed me so my back touched the wall and I looked at him with fear in my eyes.

He realized what he did and I pushed him away. I ran as quickly as I could to get back to Dani and when i got to her he was right behind me.

"Baby.. You okay?"
I shook my head and she stood behind me.
"What else did you do?" She asked him.
He didn't answer.
I walked towards the wall and hit my back hard enough to make a noise but not hurt myself.
"Okay Parker. I'm gonna say this once and only once. Stay away from her. She does not want to be around you."

"I wanna hear that from her." He said.

"She can't talk to you anymore."

"Please say something." He begged.
I looked him in the eyes and closed the door. I turned and hugged Dani.

"You alright?"

"Can we just cuddle and not talk?"

"Of course." She said and laid on her bed.
I took off my shoes and climbed on top of her. She hugged my waist and I wrapped my arms around her neck.
I kissed her collar bone and up her neck before laying still.

I felt a tear roll down my face and shook as I started crying.
Dani rubbed my back comforting me.
"I know I asked if we couldn't talk. But I really need to ask you something."

"anything."

"Do you really love me?"

"With all of my heart."

"If we break up. Will you still love me?"

"Most likely."

"Do you trust me?"

"Yes."

"Do you think I will ever cheat on you?"

"No."

"Why did you go outside and tell everyone that I was yours?"

"I just want you all to myself."

"Do you think that if you were given an opportunity would cheat on me?"

"Never." She said.

"Have you been honest answering all of these questions?"

"Yes."

"Okay." She stopped rubbing my back.
"Dani."

"Yes Allie."

"I love you."

"And I love you."

We stayed like this for a good two hours and then we got up.

"You sure you want me to keep this?"

"Yeah." She said. "How long have you been riding skateboards?"

"I got my first board when I was four. So since then. Do you wanna learn?"

"I wouldn't hate it."

"I'll teach you tomorrow."

"Why not tonight?"

"Baby is tired." I said in a baby voice and walked into her arms.
"Baby wants daddy to kiss her."
She stayed quiet and picked me up we laid on her bed.
I kissed her softly at first as she let her hands travel up and down my body.

As it got more heated I would feel her occasionally graze my inner thigh and butt. She gripped my thigh and moved her hand close to my area.

I rolled away quickly.

"Oh." She said. "I'm sorry. It was just a spur of the moment type thing."

"It's okay. I'm just. Not ready for that yet."

"Yeah. That's okay. We got a step closer though." She joked and I chuckled. "But really. There's no pressure. I try not to rush it." She rubbed circles on my thigh.

I felt strange. But I'm not mad about it.

"Okay. I try not to be a prude but it's just in my brain. Advice given by my mother."
She nodded knowing the situation.

"What's the whole dad situation been like?"

"He basically traded who he was there for."
