By his side

chapter 16

Mia's P.O.V :

"Mia- Oh sweetie, you look so beautiful." My mom said shocked as she saw me wearing the sundress she gave me last Christmas.

It was a light purple sundress with small bow type things designed on it. I love this dress but I wore it like only once since Christmas and now it's September. I never got the chance to wear it because of my love for hoodies and sweatpants.

I remember this one time in Florida, I went to this function type thingy which was at my mom's friend's place, wearing a white-colored hoodie and black sweatpants and my hair tied in a nice looking bun. In my opinion, I looked nice and descent but I guess nobody liked it cause of the stares I got from everyone, especially my mom. The way she glared at me after looking at my outfit, ahh I still get the chills if I imagine her scary-looking face.

But today, I get to wear this simple yet beautiful dress for the second time. Not because I have to attend some function or party but cause I have a DATE with Daniel.... Cue claps and hoots

"Thanks, mom," I said, smiling as I grabbed my mug of coffee from the table and went into living room.

It's 5:30 in the evening right now which leaves thirty minutes for Daniel to come here and pick me up.

I sound super excited for this date cause I am all ready or can say all dolled up in Ash's language, and thirty minutes early.

But it's not like that. Yes I am a bit excited for two reasons.

First, I am going on a date after ages that too with someone so sweet and good looking.

Second, I will finally get to greet Mr. Artist aka Daniel in real.

After lots of thinking last night instead of sleeping, I managed to convince myself and my stubborn heart that Daniel is Mr. Artist.

I sacrificed my sleep.. poor me...

All the things that happened till now perfectly relate to Daniel's reaction. It's not like someone will intentionally go all stiff and go on spitting water in the grass after listening about Mr.Artist. There are fifty percent chances of it being a coincidence but then what about the butterfly thing.

How do I see the same picture of a butterfly that was on my top?

According to Eva, Daniel carried me home on the night of the party. That's the same night I heard the person who carried me call Angel. I know I said that voice was nowhere similar to Daniel's voice and I was sure about it but well I guess I am wrong...

Plus the random message I received from Mr. Artist last night and the same text I got from Daniel.

All of it just can't be a coincidence right?

So after summing everything up I managed to convince myself with Daniel being Mr.Artist.

Yeah I know, I don't get the same feeling with Daniel as I get with Mr. Artist, but that might be because until now Daniel and Mr.Artist were two completely different humans in my life. I was looking at Daniel differently, guess that's why I feel that way. But maybe after I spend time with him I'll eventually start feeling comfortable.

The foreign feelings I get when I am with Aaron? Well, it's better that they remain foreign cause he clearly likes someone deeply. It's written on his face, all the time he came home to help me with Math, and whenever we used to talk about 'that topic' he used to zone out and not just zone out but with a true, eye reaching smile on his face.

Any dumb person can tell that he has someone in his heart. Therefore it's the best I just forget about it and be happy about having a person like him as my best friend.
