His teammate

Chapter 8 - I remember every part of this

I don't really know what to feel anymore. I feel guilty most of the time, uncertain and really confused. I've seen Daniel several times since our walk in the park last week, he doesn't seem to know anything about Link and me and I've decided not to say anything right now. I don't want to bring something up if it's not necessary. I don't like hurting people. I really like Daniel, he is such a sweet guy. The only thing that bothers me, or not bother, but makes me wonder a little. Is the fact that we haven't really made out or done anything more. We kiss and hug and cuddle, but the kisses always ends before they get to heated, I don't know if it's because of me or him. He haven't tried anything else either, which feels strange to me, every guy I've been with has tried something pretty quick in the relationship. We haven't really talked about what we are, I guess we're just dating at this point. But do I want more? It feels like something is holding me back. I just don't know what it is.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Daniel ask beside me. We're sitting on my couch watching TV after eating some takeout food. His arm is tightly laid around my shoulder and I'm leaning my body weight against him as the boring sit-come runs on the screen. He came over after I got of work at five and we've been sitting on this couch for two hours.

"Nothing. This show is so boring." I whine, trying to shake my thoughts away. Now is not the time to think about these things. That makes him chuckle close to my ear as he reach for the remote to change the channel.

"Then, let's watch something else." He still chuckles as he switches the channel to something else. Another sit-come, but this ones a little funnier. Something to pass the time with at least. It's been a long week and it's Friday night. Maybe there's some movie on tonight.

"Hey, do you want to go to a party later?" Daniel ask after a while, looking down at me. I look a little shocked up at him. A party?

"Who's party?" I ask, wondering a little scared if Link will be there. What should I do if he is? Can I ignore the parties where he's at? Not probably. I guess I have to deal with him sooner or later, but maybe I'll take the later.

"It's my friend Carl. I don't know how many people it will be, but it will be fun. Please! You could meet my friends." He say a little pleading. The thought of friends scared me.

"Will the guys from your team be there?" I ask, trying to sound like I was hoping they were. We haven't talked too much about them or the first time I met them. But I only wanted to know if Link would be there, I wanted to be prepared.

"I don't know. Luke is probably going to show, but I don't think any of the others could come." Oh, good! Then he won't be there at least. He gives me those pleading eyes of his.

"Okey, fine. I'll go." I snicker and give him a smile back as his widens. It will be nice to meet some of his friends, we've mostly been cooped up in my apartment alone. And since I know that Link won't be there, I can relax and have some fun with Daniel. Maybe he will loosen up some more, or I will. I don't know who's the tense one here.

After going through my closet to find something to wear after a nice shower I stand in my underwear, looking at myself in the mirror. I don't have such a bad body, it's slim but with curves on the right places. I've always been pretty comfortable in my own body, even though I don't like to show it off too much. I'm at an okey length with my 5 feet and 6 inches, making me tall but still able to wear heals without feeling too tall. I pull the blue high waist skirt on and then the black top without a back. I turn around and look myself in the mirror, I love this skirt, it ends a little over the knee and has several layers, making it flow a little as I twirl. I put on a line of black eyeliner on the top of my eyes and some mascara, then some blush and I feel ready. I leave my hair down so it falls down in my natural curls, down my shoulders and back. I look myself in the mirror one last time as I pull the black jacket over my shoulders and get my purse to go out of my apartment where Daniel waits in his car. He went home to change too and texted that he was here to pick me up.
