Daisy

Chapter 52: 8 Hours

Daisy's P.O.V

I woke up with the feeling that I was being watched, and sure enough, Joey was starting down at me with a small smile on his face. "Why are you so happy?" I asked and rubbed my eyes.

"Cause you slept for 8 hours" he kissed my nose "I slept through the rest of the day?!" I sat up and checked my phone. Sure enough, it was 7pm. "You needed it" he sat up next to me and wrapped me in his arms.

I hugged him back and we sat like that until I heard his stomach growl. "Someone's hungry" I giggled and pulled away. "I guess so" he laughed and went to stand up.

"Where do you think your going?" I said and lightly pushed him back down. "To go get food..." He said, taken aback by my actions. "No. I'll get the food, and bring it to you" I crossed the room and retrieved his laptop. I handed it to him, and kissed his forehead.

"So what do you want to eat?" I asked as I slipped on my grey vans "Chipotle!" He exclaimed "I love you more now for saying that" I walked over to him and awkwardly hugged his head "What are you-"

"Shhh. It's okay" I interrupted him. "Okay...." He said as I let go of his head and went to run out of the room, but stopped at the doorframe.

"I'll be back, my love" I said in a lustful voice and moved backward into the doorframe, gripping the wood as if a sudden gust of wind had pushed me against the wall. I winked and ran down the stairs with a smile, as I heard Joey's laugh ringing throughout the entire apartment.

I smiled to myself and grabbed my keys off of the counter where Sawyer had left them. I got in the elevator and pressed the button for the lobby. I swayed slightly to the elevator music but stopped when I got a text from Sawyer.

Sawyer: Hey I just got back I'm in the lobby. I have a few friends coming over and I need your help with something...

Daisy: I'm in the elevator and ready to help! What do you need

Sawyer: Well I'm with some of my buddies and they keep teasing me about not having a girlfriend, so can we maybe do one of those movie scenes where you run over to me and I catch you in my arms and we hug? I promise I will tell them it was fake right after.

Daisy: I'll try my best!

Hopefully he doesn't try and kiss me. I mean I never really understood why guys would go out of their way to impress their friends, but oh well. Sawyer is a friend and this is just a favor.

As I stepped out of the elevator, Sawyer walked through the door with 4 guys, and he nodded his head at me.

"Sawyer!" I yelled in a fake, post modern feminine voice as I ran to him with open arms. "Babe!" He yelled back and ran toward me with open arms as well. When we approached each other, I jumped into him and wrapped my arms around his neck, and my legs around his waist.

"I missed you so much!" I snuggled my head into the crook of his neck. He spun me around and held onto the small of my back "I missed you too!" I had to hide m face the best I could, so they wouldn't see me trying to hold back my laughter at how stupid this must look.

He leaned in as if he were about to kiss me, but then looked over to his four, very confused friends. "Lets go outside, Babe" he put extra emphases on the word 'babe' and carried me out the door as we both started laughing.

"Is that what you wanted?" I giggled "Yeah that was a big help! Thanks!" He laughed too and gave me a quick hug. "No problem! Anyways, I'm off to get some food for my injured lover, so I will be back in a bit!" I waved and ran awkwardly off to my truck, flapping my arms like a bird would.

I swear, I feel like a whole new person, with sleep fresh in my system. It feels good and pure. I could get used to this feeling. I hopped in my truck and went to Chipotle.

I got the food, and was on my way back when someone in a black car cut me off. I tried to hit the breaks, but I didn't stop. The breaks were broken.

Luckily, the car made it in time and I didn't crash. When I got home, I popped the hood open on my truck, and realized that the air break was broken. Air brakes, or more formally, a compressed air brake system, is a type of friction brake for vehicles in which compressed air, pressing on a piston, is used to apply the pressure to the brake pad needed to stop the vehicle.

Someone had taken out the air actuated disc break, so I had to get a new one. I have no doubt in my mind over who did this, but I don't have any idea what his intentions might've been. Derek wants me alive, not dead.

I'll have to go to the auto body shot tomorrow and get a new actuated disc. When I was younger the only work my dad did was fixing a few cars in our garage. He taught me and my sister how to do it so he could sit and get drunk as he watched us work. I closed the hood of the truck, grabbed the food, and went back inside the building.

"Hey Daisy. Long time no talk" Patrick smiled as he wiped down the main desk. "Yeah. How are things?" I smiled back politely. "Good. How 'bout you?" I looked down then back up to him.

"Never been better" I lied and faked a smile as I ran my hand through my hair, fixing my bangs.

"Great. Well see ya later?" He asked with a small smile. "Yeah. Bye" I waved and pressed the 'up' button on the elevator.

"Hey Daisy" Sawyer chimed as I entered the apartment. His friends went silent, and I felt all of their eyes on me. "Hi" I smiled and noticed Luke sitting next to Sawyer, and 3 other unfamiliar men.

"They know your not my girlfriend" Sawyer laughed and so did Luke. The other 3 just looked at me with wide eyes. "Oh darn. I guess the cats out of the bag!" I nervously laughed.

"Will you guys stop staring?! Your making her uncomfortable" Luke laughed. "Hi. I'm Vincent Cyr. But you can just call me Cyr" a man with scruff and black hair with blonde highlights stood up and shook my hand.

"I'm Caspar Lee" another man with blonde hair and a South African accent shook my hand as well. "And I'm Sam pepper" the boy with the black hair and tattoos shook my hand last.

"Well it's lovely to meet you all!" I smiled and went to bring the food upstairs.

"Dude she's smoking hot!" I heard Cyr say. "Yeah man she's gorgeous!" Sam said. "She's with Joey so back off" I heard sawyer say.
