Chapter 10

I didn't follow Daniel when he left the room because I figured he wanted some space and also because it'd be a little weird since he left just to get away from me. I tried to get to sleep but if I thought getting some before the kiss, was hard well then getting some sleep after the kiss was plain impossible. No matter how much I tried to push aside the tingling feeling that I felt all over my body which was where Daniel has touched me or even how the feel of his lips, so soft still lingering on my lips as if they were still there sleep would never come. I felt too happy instead, where my heart felt like it was going to burst out of my chest.

****

I must of fell asleep because I was woken by an annoying alarm clock. Letting it ring I tried to fall asleep again but couldn't because the damn thing kept getting louder. When I was sure sleep wasn't coming anymore I reluctantly got out of the king size bed and switched it off and went into the bathroom ingnoring the painful headache I had.

I checked my reflection in the mirror, only to he disgusted with what I say. My dark hair was sticking out everywhere while my face was pale and lacking its usual colour, my blue eyes looked dull and boring with no make-up. I can't believe I let him see me like this, oh well its not like it makes a difference he has a girlfriend. Which is Something I forgot to remind myself last night when I kissed him I thought bitterly.

After I had brushed my teeth with the spare tooth brush I was given last night, and brushed and tied up my messy hair, unfortunately I had to makeup so I had to go without it. I made my way down stairs hoping to find Daniel in the kitchen cooking breakfast for the both of us like you'd find in movies or in books. Instead he was seated on the leather sofa with a bowl of cereal in his hand. He looked so relaxed which was better than the fustrated look he had last night. I couldn't help but just stand there and admire him, looking so gorgeous in a pair of grey nike jogges and a matching grey t-shirt that wasn't hugging his body as usual but still looked breathtaking.

He must of realised I was standing there because he turned the volume of the t.v down,

"Morning," he greeted happily

"Morning," I said back. There was an akward silence before he spoke again.

"Listen Nora, I'm really sorry about last night."

"It wasn't you're fault, you were a sleep and just took me surprise that's all." I said, not looking at him so he wouldn't see the hurt look on my face.

"I know but jus--wait what do you mean I took you by surprise?" He asked, his expression showing nothing but curiosity.

"I-i was just a little shocked when you kissed me and therefor I didn't have much time to stop," I replied, ashamed of the fact that I kissed him in the first place and was now lying to him.

"Wait so you're saying you were awake?" He asked a little nervously while his eyes showed a glint of happiness. I pushed it away thinking I only imagined it and spoke again this time my voice sounding a little nervous,

"Yeah, but like I said you took me by surprise." I mentally prayed that he would accept this and not question it further. And to my surprise he didn't.

"Okay, so I was wondering is cereal and some toast fine for breakfast?"

"Well it would be but I was hoping you could drop me home so I could see Sam before he disappears to where it is he goes everyday." I said a little sadened by the thought of leaving him so soon but I knowing I had to sort things out with Sam was more important.

"Oh ok then," I couldn't help but detect a little saddness in his voice that matched my own but didn't think anything of it.

When I had changed back into my dirty dress and heels with my leather jacket, I got in to Daniel's car so he could drive me home.

During the drive home, I asked Daniel questions about his family which I forgot to ask the night before. Questions like why was he living alone? And where were his parent? And other questions which he was so busy answering that he didn't realise when we had reached our destination. I said a quick goodbye and promised we'll talk more another time and got out the car resisting the urge to hug him.

****

"Sam, are you home?" I called out as soon as I shut the front door.

"Yeah, I'm in the living room," he called back

"K wait, I'll just change," I quickly went into my room and changed into loose pants and a white tank top before going into the lounge wishing my self luck on the way.

"So how was you'r night?" He asked when he felt my presence in the room. Not bothering to look away from the t.v.

"It was great, how was yours," I smiled recalling the kiss I shared with Daniel while taking the seat next to him.

"It was great, feels like I haven't seen you in ages," he turned around to face me, his blue eyes no longer holding the sadness they usually did. No longer able to hold it in anymore, I blurted out something that he was supose to confess,

"When were you going to tell me about your dealing?"

"Soon, I was just looking for the right time," he said. The pained look on his face and his eyes that looked so sad told me he was telling the truth. He didnt bother asking any question about how I found out or even let me talk for that matter,

"I don't do it anymore, so if I tell you how it started you have to keep in mind the fact that I don't do it any more okay,"

"Okay," I said satisfied that I was eventually going to get my answers.

"Well when I first moved here I found friends really quickly, one of them being Daniel. You know I found out just a few days ago that he was the same Daniel you were always with when you were younger, when I found a picture of both of you from years ago. But anyway I was saying he was one of my many friends then and we were at a party and I got into a fight because I was drunk, but I was still able to beat the other guy shitless. So after I done that, this other guy called Adam also known as 'the big man' came up to me and said how I could join his 'gang' of dealers. At first I was going to say no I swear--" he paused looking at me as if to see if I believed him. I nodded for him to continue and so he did.

"I was going to decline but then I didn't have a job and was having a hard time paying my bills at the time and so I joined."

"Why did you stop," I asked my voice bearly a whisper

"Because mum and dad died and i had to take care of you but I wanted to stop before but just couldn't because well.. because its not that easy to get out," he replied looking down at his feet.

"So why did you owe him money?" I asked, still surprised he hadn't asked me how I knew all this.

"How do you know all this?" Okay spoke to soon.

"Not important, what's important is that you answer my questions," I stated matter of factly

"Okay, well when I agreed to join Adam gave me 15 grand, to get myself this place and at the time I had a student loan to pay back so I got all that cleared and so when I was leaving he asked for it back," I didn't really know what to say, my brother an ex-drug dealer.i Seriously needed time to get used to that.

"But you don't need to worry about anything Nora, because I got everything sorted I payed everything back," he continued, while getting a look that I'm guessing said 'and-how-exactly-did-you-do-that' because he answered,

"I was working for him the past 4 days earning him a lot with very important customers and I also got the money, so thats me finished for good," he stated, smiling happily.

"You know your lucky mum and dad never knew about this before they died because their soul's would have never found peace knowing their son was I doing illegal s**t like this," I said trying hard not to get angry.

"Yeah I know, but I'm finished now. My only job is to take care of you," he said while moving near me on sofa and getting me in a tight hug. I hugged him back glad that all this drama was finally ending.
