H A Z E L ' S P O V :

It's been two weeks. Two weeks of misery. Two weeks of faking smiles. Two weeks of countless men hitting on me at the bar. Two weeks of earning over $200 dollars a night. Two weeks of cooking dinner every other night. Two weeks ... since I'd last spoken to Daniel. Two weeks of guilt. Two weeks of regret. Two weeks of pure freaking agony. Two weeks that I wish never existed. Two weeks that I wish I could kiss him again. Two weeks of pure, bittersweet, hateful, annoying, bullshit. 

Let's catch up shall we? After Daniel expressed his feelings toward me, I didn't know what to do. I mean, let's face it. It was way too soon for him to tell me. I mean, yeah, I liked him too, but we both needed time for us to honestly know if we had really developed feelings for each other. I know it doesn't take that long to get feelings for someone, but still. I was gonna wait to tell him, and when he told me, I didn't know what to do, so I ran out of the car and inside. 

Yes, of course I felt bad. But what was I going to do? I haven't had any type of romance with anyone in like ... 3 or 4 years. I didn't know what to tell him. I didn't know what to think, how to feel, or anything. I really felt bad. Shit, I still do. Especially after he went all out that day to make me feel better. I mean, he was jealous of Leo. I was jealous of Rhea and Sarah. It's obvious that we like each other. I just don't want anything to go really wrong between us. 

I was now sitting on my bed, staring at the wall, thinking. Azura had just fallen asleep a few minutes in the bed. Daniel was even still taking care of her. I avoided him as much as I could. Whenever we would be in the same room together, I would make an excuse to have to go somewhere else. I've caught him sneaking glances at me a few times. I can't explain how bad I want to just come out and talk to him. I know, Then why don't you?. I just don't wanna hurt him anymore, you get me?

There was a faint knock at my door, and just as I was about to get up and answer it, the door slowly opened and Daniel's slim figure entered the room.

"Hey," he breathed out, "Zura left this in my room earlier." In his hand was her favorite pillow pet. A. customized,  blue and purple monkey with her name printed on the stomach in a light peach color. I nodded and took it from him, not meeting his eyes.

"I'm not mad at you,  you know. I know that's the reason you've been avoiding me for the past two weeks." my head shot up and I look at him, confused. I let out a big breath, and bit the inside of my lip. He took a seat beside me on the side of my bed.

"I understand the way you feel too," he continued, "Like it's way too early to come out and say that, but saying that I like you after two days is better than saying I love you after one. But,  it doesn't always take forever to know your feelings towards someone. I wish you would give me a chance to give you and Azura, a better life, and maybe even Layla punk ass." he mumbled the last part, causing me to laugh.

"I'm sorry. " I admitted,  wrapping my arms around his waist. He hugged me back and pulled me over, so that I was straddling him.

"Are you really? " He smirked.

"I don't know, am I? " I rose an eyebrow,  challenging him.

He laughed and grabbed both sides of my face,  smashing his lips to mine. We heard a click and broke apart,  looking towards where the sound came from, only to find Layla smiling nervously with my phone in her hands.

"Heeeeeeeeeeyyyy y'all." She smiled,  placing my phone on the table and quickly backing up out the door.

"When did she even get my phone? " I asked,  shaking my head.

"Oh yeah, speaking of which, " He wrapped his arms around either side of my legs, and stood up, me immediately putting my arms around his neck. We stopped in front of his door and he pushed it open, laying me on the bed and staying in between my legs, he laid us back and planted a few kisses on my neck. Then, he got up and disappeared,  making my neck cold again,  missing then warmth of his lips.

"Here you go. " He handed me a turquoise bag, and I crossed my legs,  sitting Indian style. I stuck my hand inside and pulled out a box, an IPhone 4s box.

"Dani--"

"Don't even,  Hazel. I bought it for you,  and you're not giving it back, you're going to use it. I already got you a new number."

I smiled at his generosity and hugged him again. As I pulled away I have him a small kiss. 

"Thank youu. " 

I placed the phone on my nightstand and put the bag on the floor, as soon as I turned around I was met with the softest lips. I was shocked, but he kept going, and I gave in. My hands slipped around his neck as his snaked around me and we fell back together. He used his elbows to prop himself up, with out breaking the kiss. I'd longed for this moment for a very long time.
