The New Boy

Chapter 15: Secret Intentions and Heartbreak

At first I feel overjoyed, no more threats. And best of all I could show my real feelings for Daniel. I stop myself in the middle of this thought. Daniel and I had nothing anymore. I have James and that's good.

"I'm sorry, you guys were a great couple when you lasted." I say calmly.

Daniel seems to wait for another reaction. After a few seconds he realizes he's not going to get one. Daniel just nods his head and bites down on his lower lip.

"No guy is better than you, don't let James treat you bad." Daniel says looking at me with his innocent hazel eyes.

"He never treated me bad."

"I just want to warn you."

I bite down on James lips gently, as happiness explodes in my gut. every time we kissed it felt like nothing I've ever experienced before.

James picks me up and lays me down on the couch in his living room. Our lips move fast, like there's not enough time left for us to live, or enough of us.

James slows down the kiss when we're on the couch, he slowly stops then places his lips on my neck. He places long lasting kisses on my neck, jaw and cheek.

"Daniel." I groan.

James stops then pulls up.

"What did you just call me?" He asks curiously.

"Um I don't know." I say panting a little bit.

"No, no. You called me Daniel? Wasn't that the guy that kissed you few days ago?"

"Um yeah, sorry I don't know where that came from." I say.

"It's fine" James mutters.

"I'm so sorry, I really don't know where that came from, I wasn't even thinking about him." I say running him hand through my hair.

"I should probably take you home."

I didn't want to argue, so I just agreed.

On the way home we didn't talk, I tried to make conversation but he never kept it going.

"Bye thanks for driving me home." I say jumping out of his truck.

He nods then drives off, right after I close the door.

I stand on my curb, the bitter breeze chilled me, but I couldn't move.

Once James is out of sight, I scream. I scream louder than I ever have in my life, I scream because was Daniel was actually coming back into my life. And he could do that easier than anyone else.

Once every bit of oxygen is out of me, I take a deep breath in, and I calmly walk inside.
***
I remember one of the worst times Daniel and I were friends. It was on December 30, my birthday.

Daniel texted me happy birthday and gave me a shoutout on Twitter, but I wanted to spend the day with him. So I drove to his house.

I didn't tell him I was coming over because I wanted to surprise him. I know he should've surprised me, but I was too dumb to realize that at the time.

We were okay friends, but I was still praying we could be something. So I was trying my best to hang out with him.

Once I arrived at his house, I walked up to his room.

I was about to enter when I heard another familiar voice talking to him. It was Natalie.

"So you never kissed her?" Natalie asked.

"Never." Daniel replied

"She's only kissed you?"

"Yeah, I try to break it to her gently that we aren't a thing, but she comes on too strong."

"She's such a slut." Natalie snickered.

"Yeah." Daniel said awkwardly.

"So when was the first time she kissed you?" Natalie asked.

"It was at Alies party, she was wasted. She kissed me, and wanted to have sex." Daniel replied.

I took a step back.

Daniel knew the truth, I told him the month before I wasn't drunk. And he blamed the whole thing on me.

I couldn't believe he blamed all of our kisses on me. I hated him more than anything.

I stormed out of his house, and I broke down in the car way home.

Ever since then we barely talked, because I had never tried to continue the conversation as he attempted at starting it.
