I wrapped my arms around his neck, he lifted his weight from me slightly, giving me more oxygen. He put his hand on my cheek as we kept kissing. He pulled away slightly and then kissed me again, keeping it sweet and slow.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Daniel and I quickly pulled away. He looked at the door then back at me, he awkwardly cleared his throat and got off of me. He answered the door to see his Grandparents.
I smiled slightly and touched my lips, I slowly sat up and saw Betty. My smile left my face immediately.
"Daniel, is dinner ready? You told me you were cooking." Betty said to Daniel. He scratched the back of his head. He laughed nervously.
"Uh...About that..." Suddenly Betty looked around from Daniel's shoulder and glared at me. "Er, I got slightly distracted." He laughed awkwardly. She glared.
"How?" She pressed, she looked at him then glared at me. He shrugged. How can he be so oblivious to her glares?
"Um...I was talking to Kath." He said awkwardly. "and, uh, it must've slipped my mind." He said.
"Oh, Daniel, my forgetful, forgetful, grandbaby," She said, she patted his cheek once. "I'll make dinner!" She said cheerfully. Daniel smiled.
"Thanks, Gram." He said. She went around the corner and began to make dinner.
-DINNER-
Betty continued to glare at me the whole time we ate, Daniel and I didn't say a word and Larry was too busy doing his word puzzles, everyone sat in complete silence. Once we all finished eating, Betty and Larry decided to go in there room and rest.
"Kathryn...We need to talk..." Daniel said, finally breaking the ice between us. I nodded. "I'm sorry about earlier...I don't know what I was thinking..." He said. I waited for him to go on and say it was a mistake but he didn't he stayed silent.
"So much for talking." I said quietly. He chuckled. "Do you regret it?" I asked him. He looked at me, sort of surprised.
"Did you?" He asked back. I hesitated and shook my head.
"No." I replied. He smiled, he leaned down and grabbed my neck, his lips captured over mine, kissing me sweetly. I pulled away suddenly. "Daniel this is crazy." I said.
He pulled away, furrowing his brows. "what are you talking about, Kathryn?" He said, he leaned his forehead against mine, heat radiating between us.
"We can't do this. It's just pretend." I said. He stared at me, keeping his forehead on me. He shook his head.
"It doesn't have to be." He said. I swallowed hard, feeling tears well up. I felt like an idiot, crying in front of a boy. But he wasn't just any boy, he was Daniel. He chuckled.
"I can't DJ..." I whispered, he frowned. "I can't do that. We're suppose to be best friends." I said.
"We will be." He said. "and more." He said. I shook my head.
"Best friends...dating will ruin everything...we'll never be the same, and then if we break up, we'll never talk to each other again, and---and---"
"Shh..." Daniel cooed. "You worry too much." He said. I stared at him. "Stop thinking about what could happen, think about it if it all works out." He said.
"and if it doesn't?" I ask.
"That doesn't matter right now, it WILL work." He said.
"How do you know?" I asked again.
"Because I know." He said.
