When Daniel pulls into my driveway I get struck with the most awful feeling. Almost like I was rotting inside or my sickness was just swallowing all my organs.
"Are you okay?", Daniel questions, his eyebrows arched in worry. I wave my hand at him to reassure him. "Really? Because you don't look fine."
"I'm peachy", I reply. Daniel looks at me unconvinced. I am totally not fine. I think I'm going to die. Daniel and I get out of my car. I tried to grab the bags but Daniel wouldn't let me. He rushed me to the door because he claimed I needed rest.
When we get inside he puts the bags on the counter and picks me up me off my feet. I gasp in surprise when I'm being carried to my room. "I have legs", I remind him, wiggling my feet to show him. He ignores my comment and puts me down on my bed. He takes off my shoes and puts them on the side of my bed.
"What type of soup do you like?", Daniel asks. There's no way he's making me food again.
"I'm not hungry and you really don't need to that", I insist. I usually don't have an appetite when I'm sick. All I really crave is hibernation.
"You are a liar Miss Breezy, I know for a fact you are always hungry!", Daniel exclaims in an awful British accent. I can't help but giggle. It still comes as a shock to me how much Daniel can affect me. I kinda forgot I was dying because I was talking to him.
"Daniel," I pause for a second, "If I'm hungry I'll order pizza." He can't say no to pizza, right? I mean what human could, really?
"No way, Breeze! You need energy food", Daniel argues. I open my mouth to argue but I quickly shut it when he's throwing blankets over me.
"Get some sleep while I make you soup", Daniel demands. I sigh, I don't understand him. He turns to make his way to the door but I manage to catch his hand.
He turns to look at me. "Stay", I beg. I let go of his hand and move over to leave him some space. He gives me a small nod in response. He pulls off his shoes and crawls into bed next to me. I curl on to his side but Daniel takes control and moves his body so I'm more comfortable. I lay with my head on his arm and my hand on his chest.
"You have a nice body to cuddle with", I remark. Oh no, that was too awkward even for me. That's definitely setting sirens off in my head. Daniel chuckles and kisses my forehead. Someone call an ambulance I'm melting.
"We really need to work on your flirting skills", Daniel teases. I let out a laugh. I think this boy is driving me insane, a good insane. I listen to Daniel hum until I'm fast asleep in his arms.
A few hours later I wake up in the same position. I keep my eyes shut taking in what's going on. Daniel is on the phone with a voice I recognize- two voices- nope that's the band. It wouldn't hurt to listen a bit. It's his fault for putting his phone on speaker.
"No, she's still asleep", Daniel says, while playing with a strand of my hair making me melt more.
"You should wake her up and tell her", Jack says through the phone. I wonder if they're still talking about me and what would Daniel need to tell me?
"You idiot, she's sick! Next time you're sick I'll wake you up to tell you how dumb you are!", Zach exclaims, followed by an "ow". Now I know they're for sure talking about me. What could he possibly have to tell me?
"Tell her what?", Daniel asks. Yeah Daniel, tell me what?
"Don't act dumb, Dan", I recognize Jonah's voice tell Daniel. Hm Dan, I think I prefer Dani.
"I have no idea what you're talking about", Daniel replies. He lets go of the strand of my hair. I stop myself from asking him to continue playing with my hair.
"Do you need a good chicken noodle soup recipe?" Corbyn. Of course, it's Corbyn. Daniel chuckles and assures him he doesn't.
"I make some mean chicken noodle soup", Corbyn says, trying to get Daniel to take his recipe.
"I know you do Corbs, but I got it", Daniel reassures.
"I still can't believe you had the audacity to leave without us and you made us print missing person flyers!", Zach yells through the phone.
"You should have told us", Jack adds.
"I wanted alone time with her and I know how annoying you guys are", Daniel explains. Alone time? For what? Why me out of all people? Thoughts start racing through my head. I'm positive he's not a serial killer, but why would he want alone time? Maybe he wants our friendship to be on level thirty four.
"Alone time?! Why do you need alone time!? Daniel James Seavey!", Corbyn screeches.
"Shut up Corbyn", Zach says. I already know that got him a smack upside the head.
"Zach, where's the adult?", Daniel asks.
"Jonah is getting some orange juice but he should be back soon", Zach answers. I really wish I could laugh right now but I don't want to blow my cover. Now I have to know.
"Are you coming back with Breeze?", Jack asks.
"Whenever she gets better, yeah", Daniel says.
"Can you bring me a souvineer from her bedroom? Like maybe a book or her favorite sock so if she does something I have something to use against her", Zach asks. I really wish I could reply to him right now. "It doesn't have to be big but just something she likes."
"I have to go it looks like she's waking up. Bye!", Daniel yells into the phone before ending the call.
I contemplate whether I should say something. He's quick to shut me up before I can even speak when he starts messing with my hair. Maybe I could sleep a bit more. I fall into deep sleep with Daniel twirling pieces of my hair around.
