Why Can't We? / Daniel Seavey

06|this

I woke up in an unfamiliar space. I jolted awake and remembered I was at Daniels house. I grabbed my phone off the nightstand. It was about nine in the morning. I stood up and stretched out my back then pulled my hair into a messy bun. I rubbed my eyes and walked out of his room.  I yawned as I walked down the stairs into the living area. I heard the boys outside in the pool. I walked into the kitchen and saw Daniel shirtless. 

"Good morning my dearest." He said looking up at me. He was over the stove cooking some eggs. His hair was messy. I sat down at the bar and leaned my head in my hands with my elbows on the counter.

"Good morning Daniel Seavey," I said smiling at him. 

"How'd you sleep?" He asked taking the pan off the stove top. 

"Pretty well actually, I just have one question for you." 

"Anything, go on." 

"Did we uh..." I hesitated "Did we, you know, uh-" He cut me off

"No, we didn't have sex." We both laughed.

"Alright, I just don't really remember going to bed so I wasn't sure." I laughed again nervously. 

"It's cool, are you doing anything today or are you down to hang?" He asked biting his lip. He made some swift movements around the kitchen. 

"Depends what you want to do?" 

"Anything you'd like to do-" He paused for a second "Would you like some eggs?" He asked as he pulled out plates. 

"No, it's alright thank you. But I would like to hike to see the Hollywood sign if you're down." I said as he took a seat next to me. My eyes followed him. 

"I'm so up for it." He said finishing his eggs quickly. 

"But before we leave we have to do something with that hair." I laughed getting up. We walked back up to his room. "Get me a comb and some hair gel," I said once we made it to the top of the stairs. 

"Yes, ma'am," he said leading me into his room. As he was rummaging through the bathroom I made his bed. He came out and sat on the bed.

"Make me look pretty mom!" He said in a high pitched voice. I laughed at him and kneeled behind him. I combed his hair and styled it with the comb. While doing so Daniel turned on some music and we jammed out. His voice was beautiful, even though I could tell he wasn't trying too hard but I still got lost in the music. Once I was done doing Daniel's hair I grabbed a pillow and hit him with it. "Hey! I can't hit a girl." He said crossing his arms. I put on a pouty face and he took the pillow. "But I can do this-" he said grabbing my wrists and pinning me down on the bed. Our faces were about five inches apart, I tried to lift my body to kiss him but he kept me down with his body weight. I put on another pouty face. 

"Daaniiieeeellllll," I said, his blue eyes burnt holes through me. Butterflies fluttered in my stomach. He leaned in and whispered in my ear.

"You're what I've been waiting for." He said seductively. I got chills all over my body. He leaned out again and I bit my lip. Our eyes locked, and he moved his hands to interlock with mine. With the pressure off of my wrists, I sat up and kissed him deeply and with passion. I have never felt closer to anyone like how I feel with Daniel. I straddled him, and at that moment everything felt perfect. I ran my fingers through his freshly styled hair. And he wrapped his arms around my waist. The door flew open.

"OH MY GOD," Zach yelled swinging the door open. "I was not expecting that." 

Daniel and I parted quickly and I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand. I got off of Daniel and we both struggled for words. The three of us stood there looking back and forth between each other.

"Well-" I started. I laughed rubbing my face with my hands. 

"Can you guys just be my parents already?" Zach asked leaning up against the door frame. 

"Zach!" Daniel said getting a bit irritated. 

"I mean Daniel's a pretty cool guy I wouldn't mind," I said side hugging Daniel. All three of us laughed.

"Anyway, why'd you come in Zach?" Daniel asked putting both of his hands in his lap.

"Just wanted to say hi to my favorite parents." He said running away like a little girl.

"He's a character isn't he?" I asked laughing. I stood up in front of Daniel, and put my hands out for him to grab. He grabbed them and I pulled him up. 

"Zach is the youngest of the group and definitely the craziest." He said walking over to his dresser, he picked out some jeans and a white t-shirt. 

"So classic," I said to Daniel as he put the shirt over his bare body. I heard my phone buzz so I reached down to see who it was. My sister. 

Mom and Dad are going to file the police report. Figure out what you're going to do, it's going to get messy.

"Shit shit shit fuck," I whispered. Daniel hugged me from behind and put his head on my shoulder. 

"Is everything okay?" He asked. I quickly locked my phone and turned around. 

"Yeah, it's gonna be okay," I said pulling him into my arms. My voice was uncertain. 

"I'm not going to ask about it. But if you're in trouble, you need to tell me. I can help you." He said after we both let go of each other. 

"It's a story for a future date, but for now you can't be involved," I said smiling. "But let's go, I have to stop at my apartment to change before we go hiking." he grabbed a hat and we made our way to my car.

-

"Do you want me to wait in the car?" Daniel asked as I parked my car in the parking garage. I laughed

"No, you don't have to do that. You can come up and see my beautiful apartment." I said sarcastically. We both exited my Jeep and made our way to my apartment. 

I unlocked the door and opened the door. "You never told me what you do," He said looking around. 

"Well-" I paused and put my backpack down. "I model for a big agency called IMG. They're super cool and really the only reason I could've made all of this happen.

"Wait that's actually really cool," Daniel said smiling, his dimples were cute. 

"It's alright," I said. "Come follow me," I led us into my bedroom. We walked to my window.

"Oh my god this is the best view I've ever seen." He said in aw. I took out my phone and took a picture of him. He turned around and looked at me. "Oh, you thought I was talking about the window?" He asked. I shook my head in disagreement. "You look gorgeous in my sweatpants. But they'd look better on the floor." He said winking. 

"Oh, Daniel." I sighed walking into my bathroom then into my closet. I picked out a pair of boyfriend jeans and a white tank top with mesh inserts. I changed quickly then brushed my teeth, washed my face, filled in my eyebrows and put on some mascara. 

"Babbeee are you almost ready?" He asked walking in. He stopped short. "What did I do to meet the most gorgeous girl in the world?" He asked. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and went onto Instagram stories. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and we posed together. I took the phone from his hands and tagged myself. He posted it quickly and we left the bathroom. 

"Daniel?" I asked while we walked out of our bedroom. He stopped and turned around puzzled. 

"Whats up?" He asked furrowing his eyebrows.

"What is this exactly I mean, I really like you but I don't want to get into something that isn't real you know?" 

"Well, we're going on dates, hanging out. I see us having a potential future to being much more. I really do like you." he said pushing my hair behind my ear. God did he like doing that. I smiled.

"Why do you like to do that with my hair?" I asked curiously. 

"Sometimes your hair blocks your face, and I want to absorb all your beauty." 

"Alright, Mr. Seavey. Let's go before I end up getting suckered into kissing you again."
