What am I || Jack Avery & Daniel Seavey

thirty-one

*Souline's POV

"But I can't be your boyfriend."

Ouch.

"Oh. I guess I shouldn't have come here then." I turned around to leave.

"Wait. Wait. Wait. I wasn't finished yet." he took my hand, leading me to his bed where I sat down.

"I can't be your boyfriend." he paused. "At least not now and not like this." he took my face into his hands. "I'm not going to ask you to be my girlfriend when I'm drunk, without a shirt on and in my room. I want to make it special for you."

"It doesn't really matter to me. I don't care how or where you ask me, as long as it's you." I smiled.

"But it matters to me, because you're special and only deserve the best in this world and I will give it to you." he gave me a kiss on my forehead, making all the butterflies in my belly go crazy.

„But for now..I just want to sleep." he let himself fall down on his bed.

„And I should probably head home." I got up from the bed.

„No. No. No. No. You're staying the night." two strong arms pulled me back.

„What? No. I don't even have clothes to sleep in and nothing to put my contacts in." I tried to get out of his grip.

„Baby, I can ask Christian. He wears contacts most of the time, he has everything you need. I won't let you drive home this late." he said getting up.

"Fine."

I could not help but smile like an idiot and turn red like an tomato. He called me 'baby'. He never called me that before.

"Why are you smiling like that?"

"I don't know.. it's just.. you called me baby." I looked down.

He started walking back to me. Taking my head into his hands again.

"And I'm going to be the only one to call you that, because you're my baby. Only mine. Get used to it." his lips touching mine softly. It was a soft peck on my lips but with so much passion it's crazy.

While Daniel went to Christians room to get the supplies for my contacts, I decided to look for some clothes to sleep in in his closet. His closet is full. I think he has more clothes than I do and I'm a girl.
I took a shirt and some shorts I could find, put them on and went back into his room.

"Daaaaaaaamn girl."

"Stooooooooop please." My cheeks turning red as always when I'm around him.

"I mean you look good all the time, but in my clothes." He paused. "Jeeeeeeez, I could get used to this." He ran his fingers through his hair.

"You should, because the majority of your hoodies and tshirts will suddenly go missing."

"What's mine, is yours." a cheesy smile on his face.

I went into his bathroom to remove my make up and get ready for bed. When I was ready and walked back into his room, I realized he fell asleep. I went over to his side and put a blanket over him which he immediately snuggled himself into. He looked adorable. The way you could see all the muscles form in his arm wrapped around the blanket I just put over him. He's so handsome.
When I got into the bed next to him, I quickly realized that the blanket I put over him, was the only blanket available for me to use. The blanket is big enough for the both of us, but we would have to be pretty close physically. I carefully tried to pull a little part of the blanket over me, because I need at least a tiny bit of blanket covering my body or else I'm not able to sleep. Daniel was really holding onto the blanket. I managed to cover half of my body with the blanket, the rest free for a monster to grab.
After I finally found the perfect position to sleep in, I tried to fall asleep but it wasn't working for me. You ever have those nights where you're so incredibly tired, but you just can't fall asleep. Also, I have this thing where I can't sleep as good as usual when I'm sleeping next to someone. It doesn't matter who it is, I'm just so used to sleeping on my own. I would really have to get used to this.

After like ten minutes, what felt like 5 hours to be honest, I felt Daniels body against mine. His arm wrapped around me, holding me real tight and pulling me closer to him. I was a little bit cold before, but now I was getting all the warmth and comfort from him. I felt so incredibly safe in his arms.

"I love you." I felt a kiss on my neck.

I knew he thought I was asleep, so I just said nothing in return. I didn't want it to be awkward for the both of us. Also, I wasn't sure if I could just say those three little words back already. Don't get me wrong, I have love for him, but being genuinely in love with someone or saying i love you to a friend are two different types of i love you's. I definitely need more time to figure it out and I know Daniel is going to give me all the time I need and I appreciate it.

*the next morning

I woke up this morning with Daniels arm still around me. I think it was the first night I didn't wake up while sleeping next to someone else. Guess my body likes sleeping next to Daniel.
I wanted to make some breakfast for Daniel, but Daniels arm was still around me. I didn't want to wake him up. He needed sleep after how much alcohol he consumed yesterday. I tried to slowly remove his arm which made him switch his position a little bit, but his arm was still on me. I decided to carefully slight away from under his arm, but as soon as I got away a little bit, his grip got tighter and he pulled me back.

„Where are you going beautiful?"

„I wanted to go to the bathroom and maybe make some breakfast for this Mister here." I explained.

„No. Stay." he insisted.

„Fine, but only for 10 more minutes ok?"

At this point, I was playing with Daniels hair while his head was on my belly. This man was really making me happy. Laying here with him was all I needed right now, but I knew we still had to talk about what happened at the beach with jack. We can't act like it never happened.

"Daniel?"

"Yeah baby?" he pulled his head up to look at me.

"We need to talk, about what happened.."
