Living With Him

Chapter 21

Danielle's POV:

Last night was a failed attempt of trying to get Michelle and Nathan to talk.

At the moment we're at the shopping centre and by we I'm refering to my lil group.

"Ok wait...now" I whisper to Alex as he jumps of the bar and watches the girl our age walk past.

"Hey I just met you and this is crazy" he begins singing but the girl ignores him and continues walking "and now you're just somebody that I used to know" he finishes and we all burst out laughing.

"Now and then I think of when we were together" I sing the first line.

"Like when you said you felt so happy you could die" Amy sings.

"Told myself that you were right for me" Jacob sings.

"But felt so lonely in your company" Nikki sings.

"But that was love and it's an ache I still remember..." Mason sings.

"...and drop the chorus" I announce and in unison we all sing "now you're just somebody that I used to know".

"We should cosider creating a band" Amy says.

"Danni and the Danniettes" I announce and everyone groans and says "no".

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Smith residence" I say answering the phone.

"Hey, it's Anne" she says "I tried calling your mobile" she says.

"Sorry it was on silent" I tell her "what's up?" I ask.

"That event that you're holding tomorrow?" she asks and I nod even though she can't see.

"Do you want to begin setting it up at 9 and then it can begin at 11?" she asks.

"Yes that would be great thanks" I say and she sounds excited for it.

"Mason!" I call but he doesn't reply so I begin walking towards his bedroom.

I watch from the door as he tosses his phone on the bed and throws a strong punch at the punching bag.

"Mason?" I say not sure of whether it's a right time to talk to him or not.

He looks up and his jaw is clenched and he looks like he's raving with anger "I-I'll come back later" I say turning to walk away.

I hear him sigh as he calls my name "what's up?" he asks walking over to the side of his bed picking up his phone.

"Erm can you help me set up the event at 9 tomorrow morning?" I ask "if you want to?" I add.

"Yeah sure" he answers smiling.

"Cool" I say walking up to his punching bag and throwing a punch.

"You threw a punch" Mason says eyeing my suspiciously.

"No I threw a kick" I say saracastically.

"No" he tuts and stands beside me "most girls dont know how to throw an actual punch" he says.

"That my friend is sexist" I point out.

"Sexist or sexy?" he asks and I laugh and roll my eyes.

"I mean most people" he corrects himself "end up tucking there thumb inside their fist which results in brekaing it" he says and I smile.

"But it's meant to rest against your index and middle finger when in a fist" I tell him.

"Yeah but people end up making the mistake" he says.

"I guess" I say punching again "to be honest with you I've seen it from movies where the guy shows the girl" I tell him.

"Actually I was bored one day and decided to research it" I say sheepishly and he chuckles.

"Say someone's going to punch you in the face" he says and I gasp "that little b..." I begin but Maosn interupts "hypothetically" he says.

"Oh" I say and he begins to aim a punch at my face in very slow motion.

I bring my hands up to defend my face but in reflexes I bring my right hand down and punch him in the stomach.

"D!" he says shocked and I widen my eyes surprised by what I did.

"Sorry...it was reflexes" I say looking very guilty as he clutches his stomach.

"You know what, its cool you know how to defend yourself and I shouldn't mess with you" he says.

"Sorry" I mumble again and he manages to pull a smile.

"I don't want to get back to you but I just need to point something out" he says hestiantly approaching me and I roll my eyes at him.

"When you're going to punch someone, position your body like this..." he says holding my hips turning my torso slightly to the side.

"I doubt I'm going to get into a fight so what's the point" I say but he ignores me as he puts his leg betwen mine to seperate them "keep some space between your legs" he says.

I look to the side seeing his fac mere inches away from me so I look back down.

"Now if you want to punch someone, you can throw as many punches as you like" he whispers.

Why is he super close? Why can't I breathe?

I look back up and his eyes met mine and it feels like the whole world has just stopped and I'm trapped in a little dream bubble.

This isn't right, is it? But is it weird that it feels it? Why am I asking myself so many questions that I don't know the answer to?

I gulp and move a step away but his grip on my hips stop me.

As silence fills the room I can hear my own heartbeat!

He's random laughing breaks me out of my thoughts as his grip loosens.

I laugh along as I turn to face him and smirk "You're a freak" I laugh as I turn to walk out of his room.

"Hey, no wait babe come back" he says but I turn around and stick my tongue out at him and turn around in a speed that makes my ponytail swing side to side as I walk away.

A seriously hot freak!

I bet my cheeks are bright red.

"Are the flyers out?" I ask Nikki over the phone.

"Yes they are" she says proabably giving her wide smile.

"Ok thanks" I say and hang up.

There's Claire that's coming with all the kids and a few other kids at the local children's centre where Nikki just gave the flyers.

Tomorrow is going to be such a fun day! I can't wait!
