"Would you just move back in? You're staying at my parents house right now. I don't see why you can't just stay at out apartment," Dansby said to me.
I nervously chewed my bottom lip.
"Stop doing that," Dansby said.
"Doing what?" I asked.
"You're stupid nervous tick. That's what you do when you want to say yes, but you're just being to complicated about it," he spoke.
I sighed. "I just don't know if I should."
"Why? There's no reason not to," he said.
"What if Jacob doesn't want me to?" I asked. Jacob was insecure. I knew he wouldn't like it.
"When did you start doing what other people wanted you to do?" Dansby asked.
"Okay, fine," I said with a sigh. "I'll move back in," I agreed.
"I'm going to pretend that you said that with enthusiasm," Dansby said, making me laugh.
"I missed that laugh," He said, looking into my eyes.
I blushed a little, as I usually did when he complimented me, and I was thankful for the Georgia heat.
"Your birthday is coming up, ya know."
I looked over at Dansby. I was surprised that he remembered my birthday was coming up when even I didn't.
"I completely forgot about it," I said.
"It's literally tomorrow," he said, confused as to how I could forget.
"It slipped my mind," I shrugged.
"Well, I got you a gift, and I don't want to wait anymore for you to open it," Dansby said, handing me an envelope.
I eyed him suspiciously.
"Open it!"
I laughed and tore it open.
"Holy shit, Dansby!" I said as I looked at two backstage passes to Khalid's concert next week. "These have been sold out for two months."
"I got them two months ago," he said, shocking me. I wasn't even around 2 months ago, and he still thought to get me a birthday gift.
"Thank you so much!" I said, wrapping my arms around him in a hug. I almost forgot we were in public until I could feel eyes on us from every direction.
"You've got fans," I whispered to Dansby.
He looked around and chuckled.
"Who are you bringing to the concert with you?" He asked shyly.
"I don't know. I'll have to think about it," I said jokingly. I watched as his face fell.
"I'm just kidding, Dansby. Of course I'm bringing you," I said.
His face lit up. "Oh, thank god! You scared me."
"I don't know if anything
is going to top this gift, Dans," I said to him.
"They can't. You're meeting your idol," he said. "I'm the best gift-giver."
I laughed and wrapped my arms around him again. "Thank you again, Dansby."
"Anything for you, Blake," he said, not letting go of me.
