Jealous | Dan Howell

14

The guys weren't able to make the same flight, so Maiara and I went back to our apartment for a few hours to unpack and catch up on some work.

We took some time to clean up, as well. After straightening out the guest room, Maiara sighs.

"Why did we do this? We know they're just going to be sleeping with us in our beds when they're here." She states.

"Oh well, it's okay." I shrug.

"No, it's not! I just wasted my time doing unnecessary work! I'm completely drained." She yawns over-dramatically.

"We both know damn well that it wouldn't have been done if we didn't do it now."

"I guess that's true. Anyways, you get a text from Dan yet?"

I shake my head, checking my phone again. "No. And I'm tired. I wonder if I can squeeze in a quick nap before we go to pick them up?"

"It's 8 in the morning."

"Yeah, I know."

"If you wanted to sleep you should have done it on the plane."

"I wasn't tired then." I cross my arms.

"If you go to sleep now your internal clock is going to be way out of whack."

"I could sleep for 24 hours at a time if I wanted to."

"But...if you take a nap, what am I going to do? I'm not tired because I slept on the plane. Like a normal person would."

"Maiara, you're a grown ass woman who can do what she pleases. Now, I'm going to sleep. If I'm not up by noon, wake me up."

"Fine. I'm going shopping. I'll be back."

"Don't forget! I told Dan we'd be there at one."

"Okay, okay, chill!" She grabs her purse and shakes her head, walking out the door.

I take a deep breath and walk to my bed,

Time for a lovely slumber.

I hear my phone go off, waking me from my nap. I groan and roll over, grabbing it and squinting at the bright screen. "DAYUM DANIEL 😍" is displayed, and I answer it with a yawn.

I hear Dan's smile through his voice, "Well, good morning, beautiful. Our plane is landing a bit earlier than we thought. Think you can make your way to the airport now?"

"Mhm." I mumble with a smile and check my screen.

I do a double take when I see "12:32" as the time.

"Goddammit, Maiara! I told you to wake me up at noon!" I scream, leaning up out of bed.

"I just walked through the fucking door like 5 minutes ago!" I hear a faint reply.

"Why weren't you back before noon like you were supposed to be?" I mumble quietly.

I hear Dan chuckle again. "Okay, Rache, get your ass out of bed and pick us up as soon as possible." He demands.

I walk over to my mirror and straighten my hair out a bit, "I'm working on it. ... I'm so happy you're coming to stay with us, Dan."

"So am I."
