Roses

chapter 2

I like to imagine Daniel as Sebastian Stan, but again, you can imagine the character as you please.

************************************

Once in, we directed ourselves to a table where Daniel was sited. Oh wait, was Daniel my blind date? Lets hope he doesn't behaves like a jerk. Has it happened? Yes, It's happened with almost every friend of Sean who is forced to be my date. You see, Andrea loves to get me dates. I just don't like going on dates that much, I am dying here! I would prefer to take love out of my path and enjoy.

"Daniel Williams this is..." She doesn't finishes because she gets interrupted.

"I know who she is don't worry." Daniel says

"Oh, you two know each other?" Sean asks a little puzzled.

"Lets say we know each other since we were born." Daniel says looking at me with his oh so beautiful eyes.

"Oh, great, this makes things so much easier, because you see, every friend of Sean that we bring here to date her is a douche, so thanks, ammm I will leave you two alone bye!" Bitch! She never leaves me alone with boys. I have no problem with that, except that I wanted no dates. Tho this should be easier.

"You've grown a lot since we last saw each other." Well no shit Sherlock.

"It's been 6 years Daniel, I was 14 years, It is a big difference since I had a lot of pimples and braces."

"Yeah, I know, It is just that I didn't recognize you yesterday."

"Well actually we never talked when we were younger." I stated as a matter of fact.

"And all because I thought I was too mature for a girl of your age." He pauses a second."Very immature from me."

I just laugh at his statement."So you were one of those conceited, cocky 'I am too much for you' guys?"

"Wow, It sounds awful when you put it like that, but kind of." He says with his sexy laugh while reaching the back of his neck and looking at me with his blue eyes. Wow he looks hot.

"So, being in the other part of the world, changed you?"

"Like you wouldn't know, but I am tired of telling what I did there, why don't you tell me what you've been doing? What are you studying? Are you even studying? my mother told me about your illness." It felt good having him asking some questions about me. Sean's friends usually would see their cellphones and I would walk out. But Daniel is hot and he is very kind.

"Well wow, yes I have something and we don't know what it is, but it is of no importance, really." I take a pause to cover the theme about my illness"Well, Ellie is almost getting married, Rommie has grown up gorgeous, and I am currently not studying since I am helping the church and I am helping people who needs it."

"Wow, my mother told me about how you go the homeless and you give them food." Luckily he leaves my illness alone.

"Yes, actually last spring break I went to India to help the people, It is amazing."

And like that we talked for another two hours catching up on everything and laughing at memories with our families.

"Ximena, this was way too formal and arranged and kinda awkward, so please, give me another date." He says when It is time for him to leave.

"You only get one more chance." I tell him playfully

"That is good enough for me."

********************************************

Rommie opens the door when I knock in my house front door.

"How many times Ximena? Take your keys, they work you know?" Rommie says irritated.

"What's wrong Rommie?" I say as I enter my house.

"Nothing, it is just too much school, and boys like to bother me and I am just stressed." She throws herself on the couch and sighs as if it was the worst thing on earth.

"Oh Rommie, that is what happens when you are beautiful, boys will bother you, and remember that good things and effort take you to great things, so when it is too much school, then think on that scholarship you will get when you go to college." I throw myself beside her.

"Thanks but I think I have migraine, I think it is just that." She hugs me tight and I encircle my arms around her.

"Lets watch a movie and grab some snacks from the kitchen, are you in for it?" I say to cheer Rommie up.

"Hell yes" she says to get on her feet as fas as she could to direct herself to the kitchen.

We watched several Disney movies singing to all of the tunes. We are suckers for Disney classics. After that we went to our room where Ellie was already sleeping. After we finished our skin care routine we went to bed.

Oh God, please take care of my sisters, my parents and please make me happy in what little time I have left, but make your will and not mine. Thank you for all the things and blessings that I don't see. Amen.
And just like that, I fell asleep.
Like a baby.

Next day 18:00 hours.

I woke up to the sun setting on my bedroom's window. God, I must've overslept. I hate it. I sleep like a bear. I want to enjoy more of my day, but my condition doesn't let me. Next thing I check my phone to see nothing. Oh great. So I get up from bed, I take a shower and I put on some shorts, a sweatshirt, and some comfy socks. I love socks by the way.
When I go downstairs I see my parents having a big fight. God I hate it when they fight, but they are like fire and ice, they disagree on everything. Sometimes I wish the could get a divorce they stress me out, but they love each other. Sometimes their fights will be about the stupidest things. They are like little kids.

I pass them by as if nothing was happening, and I go directly to the kitchen. There I find Rommie talking on the phone. So I decide on ignoring her phone call. I remember how I hated Ellie always asking about my phone calls with my ex.

Then, I receive a phone call myself. It is an unknown number. So I take it. Not a smart choice but haha I don't care.

"Hey Ximena come with me, I am bored and I want to go out." Daniel's voice resound from my phone.

"Hello Daniel I am fine thank you, but I am not properly dressed." I say to play hard to get.

"Oh come on put on some shorts and a sweatshirt." He says.

"Then wait for me 10 minutes, be right there."
