Aria's pov;
For a couple of days now, I've been spending some time with Daniel, as we worked on our projects, contemplating what I want to do with him. I wasn't sure how I felt about him, when Harry told me about Emily and how he wants us to try and be something, but now I feel like my thoughts are sorted out.
As we walked out of our Thursday class, we decided to get a cup of coffee. We sat down on a table and we both looked at each other.
"We need to talk" We said in unison. I furrowed my brows in confusion. He wanted to talk too?
"You go first" He said, nodding.
"No, you shouls go first. I insist" I said. "And yes, I am sure"
"Okay... Well, lately I've been thinking a lot. I think you noticed how I have been a little distant with you lately, but that's because... I've been meeting with this person. I've been meeting with my um my ex girlfriend. She needed to talk to me about something regarding my old college and I hate to do this. But I think... I think I still have feelings for her. We've been talking about it and she does too, but I told her to wait, because I wanted to talk to you first" He said.
A wave of relief washed over my body as he told me those words. "This is weird. Because... I kind of wanted to ask you to stay friends too"
"Really?" He asked.
"Yeah. I meant to talk to you too about that, because... I think I have feelings for Harry and I think he does too. We talked over the weekend and I know we both care about each other" I said, my cheeks heating a little.
"I'm happy to hear that. We can totally stay friends, that'd be great" He smiled.
"I would love to meet your girlfriend" I smiled.
"She's great, you will like her" He said.
I'm glad Daniel and I are both on the same page. What we had was something casual, a distraction for two people we both cared about. And I wasn't mad about it. I madw a good friend out of it. "Hey, what are you doing after college?" An idea popped in my mind.
"Looking for jobs" He said.
"You know... I want to start my own company. It would be great if we could be partners" I suggested.
"Really? That's great news, it would be awesome" He smiled.
"Here's to a future collaboration then! Oh and I need to ask you for a favor" I said.
"Which is?"
"I'm not going to tell Harry we're friends quite yet, just because I don't want him to think I'm all his so easily. I want to be a little harder to get" I said, biting on my bottom lip.
"Got it. You're evil, you know? He seems like the guy who knows how to get what he wants and you're going to torture him like that" Daniel laughed.
"Oh I know" I laughed back.
This week had past awfully fast and it was ful of studying and preparing for our biggest project yet. I was glad it was Friday after class and I could finally eat, because my stomach was growling, but Harry seemed to didn't want me to, as he knocked on my door about a hundred times.
"What?!" I answered.
"Jesus, relax" He said. I noticed he was holding a duffle bag and wearing a blue and turquoise Hawaiian shirt.
"What the heck are you doing?" I asked, with wide eyes.
"Get your bags ready. We're running away for the weekend" He grinned at me.
