Catfish//Daniel Seavey

Chapter 38

Daniel was mad about me freaking out because he claims that he was scared that I had died. Nonetheless, after much arguing at the cash register he bought me Groot. I sit in the car clutching Groot, slightly annoyed at Daniel for paying for me. Daniel gets in the driver's seat and probably notices that I am annoyed.

"Breezy", Daniel cooes. I look out the window and huff. He pokes my side causing me to yelp out. I turn and glare at him. "Evil", I mutter. Daniel smirks and reaches out for my sides. Oh no. I smack his hands away from me.

"Daniel!", I shriek when he starts tickling me. I giggle trying to push his hands away from me. "D-Daniel s-stop!", I manage to laugh out.

"Tell me that you're not mad!", Daniel demands. I start crying from laughing so hard. "Fine you sack of eggs, I'm not mad!", I yell out. Daniel stops tickling me with a confused expression.

"Did you just-", I cut him off, "You know better than to question me." Daniel grins and turns away from me. He mumbles something to himself but I only catch the word "unbelievable."

Daniel starts driving to my house. "I think I need to help you with your lady skills", I say. Daniel glances at me for a second.

"I think they're perfectly fine", Daniel argues. I raise my eyebrows.

"Debatable."

"Rude."

"Just trying to help my buddy out."

Daniel groans and rolls his eyes at me. "You are so disrespectful but fine, give me your awful tips that you can probably get off a bad blog a ten year old girl wrote."

I shake my head at him. "How about you tell me a bit about your lady friend first?", I suggest. I roll down my window but it quickly gets rolled back up by Daniel. I turn to look at him dumbfounded.

"You're sick so no sticking your head out the window", Daniel says as a matter of fact. I fold my arms and dramatically sigh.

"So my lady friend-", Daniel stops for a second, "Can we not call her my lady friend? It sounds weird."

"Whatever you want to call her we'll call her", I shrug. It'd be smart to just call her, her name.

"Let's call her Flower, yeah that's good, Flower. She's kind, incredibly kind and you could be a total toilet head and she'd still be kind. She's fierce too though so don't think you can stomp over her. I think she could kill someone with her small hands or maybe even with a napkin, totally with a napkin." I look over at Daniel to see a grin on his face, I feel my heart sink but I smile at him. Curiosity creeps up, making me wonder who the mystery Flower could be.

"She's funny, hilarious we could talk for hours and hours and she could never bore me. I haven't known her for too long and I made a bad impression-" I point out, "like with me." Daniel looks over at me, his smile disappearing. If my heart sinks one more time it'll be chilling with my toes. I give him a smile, assuring him it's fine.

"Yeah, she's a little dorky but I love it. She's super talented too. She's got the most stunning smile- her face too but her smile is enchanting, hypnotizing, surreal. I could stare at her forever because she truly is art."

We sit in silence for a few seconds. Daniel didn't just fall on his face for her, he jumped out an airplane and fell for her. I can't help but feel a tinge of jealousy. I wish I had someone like Daniel who talked about me like that. "Flower is lucky, really lucky", I say, flashing him a smile.

"So what's my advice?"

"Go for it."

"Go for it?"

"It sounds like you'd run away and join the circus if she asked you to so just go for it. I mean there's nothing holding you back. She's kind, right?" Daniel nods in response.

"Then there's nothing to be afraid of. Talk to her like you just told me about her. You're already in deep, might as well go all in."

I haven't updated in nearly a month. I suck, I know. I didn't want to write because I was heartbroken for a bit but now I'm falling out the airplane. Love just sucks.
