It was after school and Jake and I were headed to the park after getting us some ice-cream. He was having vanilla and I was having chocolate. We were having a debate as to which ice-cream was better.
"I have nothing against vanilla, but it's just so plain."
"It's not! You have a problem. Chocolate looks like poop."
I gasped, "You did not just say that!?"
He smirked, "Yes. I believe I did. Whatcha gonna do about it?" His voice was challenging.
"Nothing much. You just won't see it coming." Now it was my turn to smirk. He looked a little scared but covered it with a smirk. "I'll be waiting."
He walked towards a bench and sat on it. I followed his actions. We sat in silence for sometime, just enjoying our ice-cream.
I was going through my insta feed when, "What do you want in a boyfriend, princess? Like I know you like Alex, but personality wise." He asked, out of the blue.
"Hmm. Okay. I want a guy... I can trust and be myself around. I want us to bake brownies together while dancing and singing on top of our lungs. Someone that makes my heart skip a beat everytime I see them. Someone who makes me smile a lot. Someone who feels like home. I think I'm describing a fictional character" I just smiled. "Why though?"
He shrugged, "Just curious."
"When's your birthday?"I asked having the last bite of my cone.
He hesitated a bit in telling me. "7th July." He had a sad expression on his face. I was going to ask him why he became sad on mentioning his birthday, but decided against it.
All of a sudden he took my camera and started to click pictures of me. Luckily, I have quick reflexes, so I could cover my face. "Do not take pictures of me or you will lose both your hands?"
He pouted, "Why though?"
"Because, I don't like myself in pictures. I look completely weird." I scrunched up my face. But him being the jerk he is, will never listen to me. I just looked straight ahead so that my face wouldn't come. I heard a click from the camera. He tapped on my shoulder and showed me the picture. I gotta say, it was the most decent picture of me anyone has ever clicked. But I just don't like getting pictures taken of myself.
"Okay moron. Let's make your face look nice. Well at least...in these pictures." I said taking the camera from his hand.
"Princess, I look amazing in reality as well as in pictures." His smirk reappeared.
Can't argue with that.
"Then don't." Wait. Did I just say that out loud? Ugh!
For like the next 45 minutes or so, I clicked pictures of him. I gotta say, he has a pretty face. We took it at different spots in the park. There was a pond in one corner at the park. We just went and sat under the shade of a tree. None of us bothered to start a conversation.
I put my bag down to use it as a support for my head and laid down on it. Jake did the same.
We started talking about random things and getting to know each other. I learnt that his favorite color was blue, he was a night person etc.
"Wait. You like Disney movies too?" I asked, kinda surprised.
"Like? I love Disney movies and animated ones too." He smiled and said.
"That is AMAZING. We should have a Disney movie marathon. Let me rephrase that. We WILL have a Disney movie marathon this Saturday." I was excited already.
"You just assumed I'm free?", he gave me a questioning look.
"Yup. And even if you are not, you better cancel your plans, because no way in hell are you going to get out of this." I said with a serious face.
He chuckled, "Alright princess. I'm in."
Just then, he got a call. After talking for like 30 seconds, he hung up. "That was my aunt. She told me to get something for dinner, because she's feeling too lazy to make anything."
So we got up and went to an Indian take-out place. He gave his order and we sat down at a table, waiting. We discussed which movies we would see and decided to watch. High School Musical.
Soon our number was called. We headed to the dry cleaner's, because mom messaged and told me to get her dress from there.
After that we started heading towards Jake's car, and I spotted someone. Someone I never thought I'd see again. 'Please don't see me. Please don't look this way. Please!' But he did.
"Addison?"
I'm sure I looked pretty pissed. I tried to look unbothered but couldn't stop myself from glaring at him, "Daniel."

I deleted this chapter and published it again cause I had to edit something :)
I am very sorry for the late update. I don't really like using the term filler, but this was a filler chapter. And was it to cliche-y?So, you all finally met Daniel. Any ideas what's the relation between him and Addison?
