Daniel's POV
"I actually thought you won't make it."
"Why? Well I knew it had to be something serious."
"Yes it is. Have a seat. I need to ask you something."
She sits next to me placing her purse on the next chair. She then sits back quietly and stares at me with a 'just go on' look.
"What's wrong with you?"
I finally ask because I think that's the first thing that I should ask. Y'vania has never opened up to me. We've never been so close. She hangs out with her friends and she isn't popular as I am but she's that kind of girl that has so many things in her. I know what I feel for her. I've never liked a girl in the same way I like Y'vania. She goes quiet for a while then speaks in a 'duh' tone;
"Nothing. What do you think?"
"I know you Vani, more than you think I do. What is it? Family matters or something?"
She sighs and says,
"Danny you have twenty minutes only. You better use them sparingly. I need to go back to work."
Something comes up in my mind. Maybe it's the work. Maybe that's what stressing her. She looks pale and tired. I still care even if she finds it hard to like me the way I do. I treat her like a younger sister and a very close friend. She speaks up distracting my thoughts.
" Why do you care so much Danny?"
I smile not because of her melodious voice but how he calls my name.
"I asked a question Daniel."
"I..I just don't like seeing you like this. I know something is really wrong. Just open up it's between the two of us. What's happening? You look so tired and sick."
"I am okay don't worry about me. Just let me be. I don't think anyone should care about me."
She stands up to leave. She's angry and I can't tell why.
I decide to be me for a while and grab her wrist and pull her so close to that I can feel the beats of her heart on my chest.
"Whether you like it or not I care and you're not leaving until something reasonable comes out of your mouth. How can you be so selfish? I care Vani and I don't care if no one cares because I do!"
She says nothing and starts leaving then turns and stares at me trying very hard not to shed the tears that are now blinding her eyes. She then narrows her eyes and asks,
"Is this one of your games Mr Harrington? Is this how you shag en' bag em'? Everyone knows you Daniel. Everyone who went to Woodland school. You just want to use me like the million girls you tossed around. You are nothing but a m-"
I don't let her finish the statement I mean she's so sexy when angry and Daniel can't take it so I do the necessary. I mean the typical of me. Pull her close and let my lips crash onto hers. It takes a while before she realizes what's happening and kisses me back.
She's so sweet I can swear that to the end of the world.
I want to be the one who ends the kiss but she pulls back like she's just found out that she's doing some forbidden thing. I know she's struggling with her conscience. I can see it in her eyes. I kiss her again, this time she instantly kisses me back. I take my time to explore her body, cupping her butt, caressing her back and touching her boobs. It takes a while before she ends it. I whisper to her, holding her by her chin forcing her to look at me.
"I love you Vani."
"I lo-"
She stops herself then says,
"I like you Danny."
She almost confessed her feelings for me.
Y'vania loves me but she doesn't want to admit it.
I laugh out loud and stare at her. She is blushing really hard and it's so adorable. She stares at me intensely and asks,
"Why?"
"Why what?"
I ask back still angry because she doesn't want to speak anything reasonable.
"Why do you freaking care? You just want to hurt yourself in the name of helping me. No. Just mind your own bloody business. Y'vania is not that type of girl you can shag and throw around."
She speaks angrily and flounces off without much as a backward look.
