What My Daddy Doesn't Know | Diggy (Discontinued)

✿IV

My song selection was coming to an end as I heard the music begin to fade. Ashanti's grandparent's faces were full of nothing but pure happiness. I smiled at them as I briefly bowed and got applause from the audience. I walked off of the small stage and made my way back to my seat. In the direction I strolled towards my chair I passed by Ashanti and Roger whom were swaying side to side. I winked at them both while Roger chuckled and Ashanti gave me the bird. I blew her a kiss in return.

Once I got settled in my chair moments later Daniel accompanied me. After a few minutes of a comforting silence he began to make small talk.

"Not bad for someone who claims they aren't a singer." He stated nudging me a little. I turned to him and responded, "I'm not a singer I just have a voice. Thanks for the compliment though." He nodded his head and stood up. 'What a lovely conversation' I thought to myself.

Daniel turned around and put out his hand. I raised my eyebrow at him. "Dance with me." He more likely demanded than asked.

"Are you asking me or telling me?" I questioned while crossing my legs the opposite direction. He grabbed my hand then responded to me, "Take it how you want." I rolled my eyes and reluctantly agreed. Daniel led me to the middle of the dance floor. He then pulled me into him putting his hands on both sides of my waist.

"We haven't been this close since we were younger." I stated as I rested my arms around his neck.

"I wonder why we drifted apart?" He replied looking down at me. I decided not to retort to start an argument. Him and I both know exactly why we are no longer close.

As much as I hate to admit it I do miss our bond. People often become distant and rekindle with one another. With Daniel and I this is the first effort we've made to patch things up. I hope to let my grudge go but I doubt I'll ever completely move on.

I looked up at him and realized he's been looking at me this entire time. "What are you thinking about?" He questioned making eye contact.

One trait I do admire about Daniel is his eye contact. He'll keep a gaze on you if he's interested. Even if you look away he won't. "Nothing that I'm ready to talk about as of now." I responded plainly. He nodded probably knowing what I was referring to.

The song slowly transitioned and he pulled me closer and held by my waist slightly tighter. "Am I holding you too tight?" He asked in a low voice making sure only I could hear him. "No." I whispered. I wanted to respond something by saying 'Yes, back the hell up.' But I couldn't it felt so good to be held like that, or maybe just by him?

I was waiting for him to say something slick to ruin the moment. "This feels like old times." He stated. No he didn't just say the right thing.

"Why's that?" I asked curiously. I felt him inhale before he responded, "I guess being close again. We're not there mentally but we are here physically." I listened to what he said as I took in his scent. His aroma was even alluring.

"I still think about how close we were. Just not as much as I did once before." I admitted. He reached for my left hand and interlocked it placing it on his chest. "I still think about us." He spoke sounding oh so genuine. I didn't respond this time. I put my head on his chest taking in this moment.

"I missed you Daniel. I missed us." I told him truthfully looking back up at him. He leaned down and gently kissed my forehead.

"I missed you more Sanaa. I'm willing to work on us if you are." He responded.
