"Oh no don't misunderstand. I wasn't-"

"Who told you can't watch it? Come on, I don't judge."

Daniel's POV

And I messed it up all.

Why did I even bring that up, I don't know the answer myself.

Why did I let my feelings and thoughts overpower me at that moment?

I really should not have said this.
Now, I made it more uneasy between us two and the fact that we have to hang out at my place later makes me more nervous.

I've got to clear everything tonight.

19:00

The doorbell rang.

I hurried to the door, my dirty gloves and messy apron still on me.

"Hey," I breathed when Kathlyn appeared before me.

I was trying to make it as cool as possible by ignoring what had happened earlier and I think she also understood the message when she replied very casually.

"Hi. As I see, you're very clean huh," she joked and ruffled my previously disheveled hair.

I swear I just felt a little spark of ecstasy as my cheeks flushed quite pink. I was suddenly reminded of the first time I had saw her; at the airport. She looked just as beautiful as that time even if I never did tell her how I looked at her.

"Just preparing something special. You can sit on the couch in the meantime. I won't let you dirty your hands today."

Kate's POV

He lead me to the inside of his quite spacious apartment which had the beautiful modern look.

The walls were covered with several paintings of desserts and food which I believe he had a burning desire for this dream of his.

Not only that but he also seemed pretty interested in music, judging from the number of albums and CDs the shelves carried.

While he was busy in the kitchen, I switched on the T.V.

Surprisingly astonished by the sexy figures of the couple in front of me, I proceeded to switch channels but not before sliding a glance at Niel who froze on the spot.

"Oh no don't misunderstand. I wasn't-" He spoke very quietly, nearly unhearable.

"Who told you can't watch it? Come on, I don't judge."

"Well things were already uncomfortable so I didn't want to-"

"Hey hey it's okay. I'm okay. The sole reason I came tonight is for us to return to how we were before. I don't want this eerie atmosphere to trail between us," I said truthfully.

"You're right."

I was trying to concentrate on the show but all my focus was based on this adorable guy who looked a hundred times cuter in this state.

I could not help myself. I know I was wrong but I won't ignore anything anymore.

Yes, I like him.

As a friend or whatsoever.

But I simply know that he does really matter to me and I don't ever want to lose him, even when I'll have to leave.

I can't quite comprehend my feelings but one thing is for sure:
That I need him.
