40 - it was love

It was 3 months since I've answered yes to Dani and it has been great. We've gone through several dates, the latest we've been through was at a beach last Saturday where we celebrated our 3rd month being together. He rented a small cottage that we stay at for 2 days since we arrived there Friday night. It was really an amazing time, well spent especially with Daniel.

We just spent the weekend there like a married couple. Tons of kisses and make out sessions were made but there's still the boundary of not doing it. We are too far from that, I want to loose it at the night of my wedding,  and even though I know it's old fashioned, he respected it. Long walks at the beach was my favorite. We start our long walks on golden hours where he likes to photograph the scenery and his 'subject' of course. I've been in Dani's instagram feed most of the time and he's been getting a lot of attention. His editing skills are fire as well as his shots so it's no surprise that he'd be recognized.

Never in the entire span of my friendship with Daniel I would thought that I would be his girlfriend. I never thought that we would end up together because we may be best friends but we are really opposites, I am too deep in thought and in life so I take life seriously where there he is, a ray of sunshine that will show you his toothgap anytime. When he gets mad, he's always too serious about it but when we figured that out, he goes back to tye Daniel I love. It's not that I don't love him when he's mad, it's just I get mad as well when he is mad because he wouldn't take reasons. He just shut the people out so I'm really worried about that. He knows that he's that because I tell him and now he's working on it.

"What are you thinking?" Dani spoke while we were in his car, on the way to school. The routine to school never changed even if now that he's mine, there's just a small addition to his routine, he brings me donuts which was my 'reward' for being his subject on his photographs which I tried to reject but he insists.

"Nothing." He looked at me clearly unconvinced. Now, we are very open on what we think and what we feel about each other. "It's just I'm reminiscing. Questioning how did we end up together which we normally would joke about."

"Yeah, I miss those times that you were crushing on me so hard, you begged me to be yours." He teased.

"Am not. I couldn't even stand you back then." I retorted.

"Whatever you say, queen. I just don't stand a chance at you when you're proving something." He gave up, and I jumped in celebration.

"You couldn't resist my charm, that's why."

"Uh huh." He agreed and smiled. "Oh, by the way. I got an audition for a major talent search at school and I want you to be there."

"Of course I'll be there." I confirmed. "So you'll persue your singing right?"

"Yeah, my dad really wants me to show my voice and I couldn't do football just like my older brother so I wish I could really make him proud with this one." He explained. I can't help but look at him and admire his passion for singing. He's always been good at it, I just want him to do it for himself and not just for his dad.

"You know, your father has always been proud of you. You get in or not. He's still proud of you." I said as I hold his hand then he kissed it.

"Thank you."

"So what time is this audition of yours?" I happily said pumping him up with excitement.

"After class."

This old man couldn't take time seriously because he's 6 minutes over time and even though the bell rang, he still wouldn't let us out, saying he's almost finished 3 seconds earlier.

"Class dismiss." He said and I jumped out of my seat and went straight to the auditorium. I really wish that Dani is not yet performing because it would definitely break his confidence if I'm not there. He expect me to be there and I'm now coming.

I went inside and saw Dani already going upstage. He looks into the crowd so I make myself visible and when we locked eyes, I mouth him good luck and I love you so he has this huge grin now.

He performed Youth by Troye Sivan and added a little of his part through a rap and for me, he killed it. I hope the judges saw it too because I would kill them if they wouldn't.

He finished the song and I clapped the hell out of me until my hands bleed, well that may be a lie but my hands hurt from too much and too hard clapping. I should be a professional clapper because I clap great. What the heck is wrong with me?

Daniel went down the stage and he still really looks nervous even if he's already done.

"Hey, you were amazing in there." I said as I kissed his cheek and hugged him. He seated himself beside me.

"Thanks." He smiled and I hold his hand. "I thought you wouldn't come so I got really nervous but you did."

"I'm sorry, the old man enjoyed his time again." I laughed. "You really did great."

"I wish the judges saw that because there's a lot of acts that's better." He's really worried.

"I'm sure they did, I'm dating you for a reason and I date the best. Except the first one."

"Ha-ha you've only been dating 2 people and the other one was an asshole." He teased and he's right. "Oh guess what, your asshole of an ex joined the competition."

"No way, but I still believe that you got it." I encourage him. "You're Daniel James Seavey and I know that you're the best."

He smiled but he still doesn't look convinced. And Zach joining the auditions is really surprising, I didn't know that he sings. Well, it's only a little time to know him and all of that was fake.

After the acts, they are ready to announce the person who will go to audition at a major competition.

"Zachary Dean Herron!"
