Love Trap (Slow Updates)

Forty Seven.

Aria's pov;

My mouth dropped to the floor when Daniel wiggled the helicopter keys in his hands, right in front of me. He walked to the helicopter with full confidence, while I stood behind him, terrified.

"Did you steal those?" I asked him.

"Yes, I am that spontaneous. No, Aria, when I said to have fun, I didn't mean do illegal things and try to get caught" He said and laughed lightly, his sweet laugh ringing in my head. Yeah, not the kind of spontaneous things someone else would. *cough* Harry *cough*

"And then how the heck did you get them?" I asked him, crossing my arms in front of my chest.

"I have a license. When I turned 18/ I wanted to accomplish something crazy and this came up. So I did it, I learned how to drive a helicopter. Don't worry, I had training for more than a year, I'm a good person to trust" He smiled, a reassuring smile towards me, as he unlocked the door.

"So you have been in New York before coming to NYU?" I wondered.

"Yes. It's always my getaway location when I get stressed and then I said, 'you know what Daniel? Fuck it. I'm making this a permanent location'. It's my stress relief" He explained to me, myself noting this information about him in my mind.

"New York really is a nice place to be in, I don't blame you" I shrugged.

"And you?" He asked, hopping in the helicopter. He held out his hand for me to take so I could climb in as well. I let his touch travel me and smiled at the gesture.

"Me? I desperately needed to get out of Yale. That place is a hell hole for me and I want to end up being sane and going to heaven. I don't like changes, but this one wasn't half as bad, if you take some things out"

He helped me get my seatbelt on, after I sat down at the seat next to the pilot's. "Things?" He asked, his expression telling me he is curious.

"People. But not necessarily all they have done. Just minor actions, I guess but they have been of great significance" I said. "But never mind that, we're not here for that and I'm getting scared for my own life"

Daniel chuckled. "Don't be. Trust me, I didn't buy a fake license of some sort and came here to kill you"

"Okay then" I relaxed in my seat as he prepared to take off. I have been on a helicopter before plenty of times, but having a stranger drive it is a first time thing for me. Daniel is not exactly a stranger anymore, we have been spending a lot of time together and it has almost been a week ever since I met him. He has proven himself to be a good person, a fun one in particular and a great distraction whenever I am with him. Because when I'm alone, I can't help but peek through the window and look across at Harry's apartment. I shouldn't be doing that and I hate to even think that Daniel is just a distraction. He is not a rebound of some sort because at the end of the day, Harry and I were never a thing.

"Brace yourself, sweetheart. You're about to experience the Daniel Sharman New York tour" He smirked and started the ride. I laughed at his remark and jittered inside from his cheeky nickname for me.

He looked good with the pilot look. A bit of a beard, messy hair from the wind, the sun rays colliding with his light ocean blue with a hint of green eyes, making them appear even more vibrant and angelic, tying his characteristics together.

He looked over at me, catching me studying him. I looked away, a small smile appearing at the corner of my lips and I feel my cheeks heat. I can see him grin lightly from the corner of my eye.

As time passed by and the New York buildings were visible, under us, Daniel spoke up. "Enjoying the view?"

"Very. It's even more beautiful from up here. And I thought it looked amazing from the roof, but I was wrong apparently" I said.
