XXX // Mornings in Madrid

Madrid made quite an impression on us instantly as our first day consisted of Daniel's clothes getting stolen right after he brought them. I never said it was a good impression. I am sure that I will find redemption today.

Daniel insisted that I come to watch Friends with him last night but let's just say I didn't intend on falling asleep beside him. "What is that noise?" I say rolling over, pulling the pillow over my ears.

His leg brushed past me as he stood up out of bed. I opened my eyes to see him walk past me in his boxers towards the window beside me. He looks down towards me and I quickly shut my eyes hoping he didn't see me staring. I hear a light laugh meaning that my moves weren't that subtle.

"Holy shit," He mumbles under his breath. I open my eyes and see the bright light that shouts 'ITS MORNING!' glare down at me. I loved waking up early for runs but not when in Toronto it would be 2 AM.

"I don't want another Trust Fund Baby!" Comes squealing from the now open window. I sit up in Daniel's long Off white shirt. I rub my eyes.

"Oh stay there, I will shut it. Ain't that insane!!" There that smile was. His lips curved and his face turned towards me. I couldn't help but smile back. He shuts the curtains and the window be a gentleman.

He then jumped over me and into his side of the bed, I laugh and close my eyes think he was going to jump on me. I turn to face him as he faces me, sliding himself back into the covers. I couldn't help but notice that as soon as he did his leg slid beside mine.

"I am sorry Noah," He says. This was the first of the day. Yesterday after we landed he said it about 600 times and that was before we even got to the hotel. If it wasn't 600 exactly it sure as hell felt like it was 600.

"Stop apologising Dani," I had said this about the same amount as he had said sorry. It was a new cycle for us. Wake up, say I am sorry, say it's fine. Brush teeth, say I am sorry, say it is fine. And so on. Although this was the first time waking up beside him since he visited me in Toronto.

"I know but you know I am right?" He repeats. I sigh and nod my head. I knew time can heal but I wasn't going to sit for months hearing the I am sorry train. I would rather jump off the train at the next stop and board the I love you train. I know you are probably thinking, she forgave and forgot fast. But man do I miss his lips against mine and is proud to call him mine. What he did will stick with me forever, I will have trust issues for god knows how long but I can deal with that if we move on together.

He slides in closer, closing the gap between us. His nose touched mine now and I could only just breath between the tiny gap between our lips. But I wanted to know what we were or what we were doing before falling back into this, into him. So I coughed.

A knock hit the door around the same time. "Shit," He mumbles. I widen my eyes and jump out of the bed, racing towards the bathroom and slamming the door shut behind me.

"DANIEL!!" I heard her voice come through the gaps of the door. Her nails were tapping on the door like she was waiting so patiently for his blue eyes to appear. I shut the bathroom dor as quietly as possible and rested on it after it had shut. Trying to listen in to what conversation they were about to have.

Daniel opened the door, "Hey Kels,"

"Cute boxers," She replied. I winced at the sound of her remark even though I knew she wasn't meaning it that way it still punched me in the stomach to hear her saying such words.

"What is up?" Daniel asked ignoring her remark but I bet he smirked. Oh, he smirked alright because there was a minute of silence or what felt like a minute.

"I was told to wake you up! And Noah but she wouldn't answer her door," She explained. I pushed my mouth shut as I felt my stomach rumble with a hiccup on its way.

"She texted me and said she was going for a run," His lied made me smile, it felt like what we were doing was bad. I felt like a girl running around behind his girlfriends back like a little teen romance.

"Damn, I wanted to go shopping, hopefully, I see her soon and we can. I mean you can join seen as your clothes got taken? Wanna go, just you and me?" I winced again at her words. I imagined the days after I left and if things had happened between them, drunken kisses or hidden mornings like this. I wondered if he would tell me if something happened or if they would keep it to themselves.

What was I doing? Hiding in a hotel bathroom sulking about what could have happened? "No, I actually think the, me and you stuff should be you know. I-"

"Yeah Dani, I understand. But we can't cut off our friendship," I got where she was coming from. And I didn't want them to justs top being friends. They had a good friendship like Corbyn and me. Which made me think whether the way I feel about them is how Kelsey feels about Corbyn and me. So I made a mental note to message her to meet up later or whenever we can to try to mend our friendship. And for me to understand her side.

"I know Kels but all the stuff that has happened between us this year like-"

"Don't say what we did. Or what we did again. You know what, can I come in? I have something to tell you," She had cut him off again. My mind began to pace fast. All the stuff? What we did again? What was happening? Were my mental thoughts that they did things after I left true?

"Uh, let me get changed. Meet you in your room?" He implies. I could hear that she nodded instead of saying sure because there was a break before the door shut.

I jumped away from the door as Daniel played with the doorknob. He swung the doorknob opened and sighed, "How much of that did you hear?" I didn't say anything. I just stood there processing what I heard. "From your expression, I am guessing everything. Look Noah, I can ex-"

This time I cut him off, "You did stuff with her again?"

"Yeah. Yeah, we did," His arm reached behind him as he scratched his neck.

I crossed my arms, "Well if you tell me everything since I left then I will tell you what happened with me. Including the Corbyn thing." This time I scratched my neck. I never told anyone about what happened the night bean visited. I didn't even tell Kath or Arthur. Only Corbyn and I knew and we promised as soon as the morning came that we wouldn't discuss it again.

"Corbyn?! What the hell happened with Corbyn?!"
