Ailas POV
I woke up and groaned. I had the worst headache in the world and my throat felt so dry. I rolled over to look at my clock and saw someone sleeping in my chair. I immediately tensed up, but then I realized that it was just Daniel. His mouth was slightly opened with drool on his cheek. I held in a laugh and snuggled back in my covers.
I thought about last night. I couldn't believe I let him see that side of me. I was so weak and vulnerable. He probably thought that I was mentally unstable. I banged my head against my hand but immediately regretted it. I winced as I tried to sit up. I saw Daniel start to move in his chair, and I went still. I really didn't want to have to face him right now. I couldn't bare it. He soon went back to into a deep slumber, and I continued to get out of bed. I got myself some ibuprofen and a glass of water and tried to tiptoe back to my bed.
I was just about to reach the edge of my bed when my phone rang. "Hit Me Baby One More Time"blared in the room and immediately woke Daniel up. Ugh, Lauren and that stupid ring tone. So much for me going back to sleep.
I picked up my phone and answered it, already knowing what was about to happen.
"Yes?"
"AILA MARIE JENKS WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN ?!? I'VE BEEN CALLING YOUR PHONE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF MOTHERFREAKING TIME AND YOU HAVE NOT FREAKING CALLED BACK!! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR DAMN MIND?!!!!?
"Sorry Lauren I-"
"NO EXCUSES!"
"But..."
"BUT NOTHING! ME AND CLARISSA ARE COMING OVER RIGHT NOW!
I needed something to keep them away. I didn't want them here.
"But Daniel's here..."
Lauren was silent.
"Hello?" I said, wondering if she had hung up.
"OH MY FREAKING GOSH! AILA GOT IT IN!! ITS ABOUT DAMN TIME!!! I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN SO SEXUALLY FRUSTRATED AND ITS GOOD THAT YOU-"
"Oh my goodness Lauren shut up! I'll call you later!"
I hung up on her and shook my head. I really cannot take this right now. I looked at Daniel and he was smirking.
"What, asshole?"
"Your friends are funny."
"Nothing is funny about them. They stress me out."
"You're lucky." He turned away from me and stared out the window.
"Hardly."
He turned around quickly and glared at me. "At least you have friends who actually care about you!"
"And you don't? What about that red head that came out your condo last night, she looked like a GREAT friend if you asked me!"
He looked confused at first and then realized how I knew. He ran his hands through his hair and sighed."Listen, about last night-"
"Save that shit and shove it up your damn ass because I don't want to hear it." I got up and left the room. If he thinks I'm going to listen to his bullshit about why he missed our date last night he must think I'm an idiot.
He followed me out of the room. 'Aila, listen-"
"Stop talking Daniel." I went into my bathroom and shut the door in his face. I could not deal with this right now. I had bigger things to worry about. Like Peter.
I sat down in front of the door and put my head in my hands. Tears started pouring down my face.
"I just wanted to-" Daniel started again.
I got up and opened the bathroom door and stared at him, and he automatically stopped talking. We just stared at each other. He looked like he wanted to say something, but for some reason he didn't. I broke the silence.
"Honestly Daniel, Leave. NOW." I immediately regretted what I said as soon as it came out of my mouth. I didn't want him to leave, but its too late to take it back now. For some reason I wanted him to stay. He made me feel comfortable, like I was..home. Something that I have never felt before. I looked down at the floor and waited from him to walk away from me, but he just stood there. He just stared, and I started to feel warm all over. His intense gaze was making me nervous, and I shifted back and forth on my feet. He lifted my head by my chin and glared at me.
"No."
I started to sob again.
"Why won't you just leave me alone!" I fell to the floor and rocked myself back and forth.
He kneeled down and held me closer to him.
"I don't know"
