Where I Belong (Parker_Games)

21.) Everything I Wanted

Dani's POV

"So, if you guys have any questions, please let me know!  It's personal hour, folks!  Don't be shy!  Ask me anything!"  I starred at myself in the camera for a second waiting for someone to drop a question during my livestream. 

I don't do these often, but I feel like it's time to be honest about everything that's been going on between Parker and I. . .and Brayden.  What a better time to answer personal questions about my life than during an Instagram livestream?  It also makes fans feel like they have a better connection with me, or so I feel like. . .that's my opinion.  I'll invite random fans to videochat with me while others ask questions if they don't have any questions to ask themselves.  If it doesnt make them feel more connected to me, at least there will be no secrets between the world and me.  I will be a completely open book!

I clicked on a random viewer and invited them to video chat with me.  It took a few seconds for the video to load, but eventually a smiling face popped up on my screen.  "Hey, dear!  What's your name?"  I smiled ear to ear at seeing how the fan reacted to me talking to them.  I still don't feel famous.  I just feel like I have a lot of friends. 

"I'm Eden!  I just want to say I'm a huge fan, and I love your videos!"  The young teen freaked out slightly which I thought was adorable.  Their hair was black with bright green highlights and an LGBTQ+ flag hung proudly on their wall behind them.  Their makeup. . .ugh. . .perfect.  I wish I could do my makeup like that.

"Hey, Eden!  I'm a huge fan of your makeup!  If we ever met, I would love for you to do my makeup, please!  I'll buy all the supplies you'll need, too!  You just have to do my makeup!"  Eden covered their face and blushed. . .and squealed slightly.

"I would love to do your makeup! Oh my gosh!  I need to calm down and stop fangirling!  Anyway, I have a question!"  I nodded in response.  "This might be personal, but. . .what happened to you and Brayden?"  Eden looked at me with a huge smile. 

I smiled right back through my phone camera.  "I'm actually really glad you asked, Eden.  I honestly am!  I actually cheated on Brayden.  The sparks weren't there anymore.  They just slowly fizzled out, and I was so wrong for cheating on him and not telling him the truth about my feelings.  By the time I got up the courage to finally confront him about everything, he found out about me and this guy and things were rocky between us for a while.  Honestly, he's pretty alright now.  Me and him and friends again, and he's living his best life."  I told myself to be completely honest, and it's hard.  You're exposed from all sides. 

Eden shot a frown at me.  "Well, that's okay.  Everyone goes through their own things in their own time. I don't think it makes you a bad person or him a bad person.  I liked you two together a lot, but I'm glad y'all are both happy and still friends."  My eyes shot to a name that popped up as a viewer.  It was Parker, and my heart skipped a bit slightly.  He's sitting in the kitchen listening to my livestream while I'm in the living room.

"You are so wise, Eden.  If you will DM me your address I will send you some signed items of mine and a couple of tee shirts from my shop!"  Their already pink cheeks turned to a dark shade of crimson. 

Parts of the livestream was. . .normal.  Fans asked about my favorite Let's Play I have ever done, what the worst joke I ever heard was, and of course, my sex life.  It's always unavoidable especially since I tell my fans that everything is on the table and out in the open.  I get laughed at sometimes for my honest responses, but that's okay.  I laugh with them and make jokes about myself so they feel better about asking such personal questions. 

A dark haired boy, seemed to be around the age of sixteen, asked me if I was a virgin.  I sighed deeply before answering truthfully.  "Yes.  I am.  Doing the deed just willy-nilly is not my thing.  I'd rather save myself for that one person who I trust deeply.  Even then, there's no guarantee that person would stay."  The boy laughed at me.

"You need to get it over with.  You just seem weak and don't be weak."  I shrugged it off and laughed with him. I told him the same thing I told Eden.  DM me and I'll send you something, and he seemed excited.  Little does he know it might be an individually wrapped roll of toilet paper with my signature.

Parker peaked his head around the corner and mouthed "are you okay?" to which I nodded "yes", but my face was a dead give away that the boy's words stung me a little.  He began quietly walking out of the kitchen and into the living room where I was sat.  My eyes stayed locked on him as I gave him a small smirk.

"Who's that you're sat next to," said the next fan on my live.  She spoke with a light accent and had two different colored eyes.  She was gorgeous, but I couldnt help blush at her words.

"It's. . .uh. . ."  I started feeling nervous.  By now, I'm sure people already know about Parker and I, but it still is a scary feeling to go public with these things.

"It's PARKER," Parker introduced himself for me for with a burst of excitement from him and the young fan.  She screamed and began fangirling at the sight of him.  He smiled a huge smile and crinkled his eyes through his glasses.

They sat talking about his career at Disney until she finally brought up the dreaded question.  "So, are you guys, like, dating?  Is Darker a ship that's sailed?"  I flashed a smile at Parker and blushed super hard.  How do I answer?  He hasn't officially asked me to be his girlfriend, yet.

"We are unofficially official, and that's all I have to say about that!"  The girl wanted more answers, but Parker took over my live stream for a few more moments before ending it.  He tossed my phone back down onto the sofa before running his fingers through his curly hair.  Is he nervous?  He seemed tense.  The live stream wasn't that bad. 

He ran into the kitchen and out of sight quickly.  I heard the fridge open and something being poured into a glass.  Drawers opened and closed at the same time as silverware being tossed onto the counter.  "Parker?  What ya doing," I yelled into the kitchen from the couch.

He quickly came back in the room, without a word, and handed me a piece of chocolate cake and a glass of milk.  "Um. . .what's this about Parker?"  I nervously chuckled at his idd gesture.

He sat down beside me then crisscrossed his legs over one another.  "Would you. . .will you. . .um. . .dang it. . ." he began.  "Would you like to date me?  No, I can do better.  Would you uh. . .like to be my girlfriend?  Officially?"  Rather confused but excited, I nodded my head.

"Yes.  I would love to, Parker!"  His face lit up with the most wonderful smile I've ever seen.  My heart began beating slightly faster and harder than before.  I am dating Parker Coppins.  I have longed for this moment for a long long time, but I still had a small concern.  I couldnt hug him due to the milk and cake in both of my hands.  "I just have one question.  What's the food for?"  He laughed rather loudly while reaching for the fork on the plate.

"It's our celebration cake!  I figured you would say yes, so I got us something to celebrate with since there's nothing better than cake and my beautiful girlfriend."  He cut a piece of cake with the fork then lifted it up to my mouth.  I don't know what better, hearing him calling me his girlfriend or the chocolate icing on the cake.  

"I feel like I have everything I've ever wanted.  I got you to stand by my side officially and chocolate cake.  I am living the dream, man."  I took the fork from his hand and swiftly scooped another bite into my mouth before he had his first piece. 

He gasped and looked appalled.  "How dare you!  This calls for a tickle fight!"  He slowly reached out to tickle my sides, but I started feeding him a piece of cake before he would lay a finger on me. 

I truly have everything with him.  I have happiness, someone to talk to, and cake. 

Life can't get any better than this.
