Chapter 3: THREE
During night Daniel was sitting outside the house thinking about Nuella. today wasn't the first time I saw her. I have seen her numerous of times since we got into this town, however she never noticed me until the other day when I spoke to her. I don't know what it was about, from the moment I set my eyes on her, I felt attached to her. I know I sound like a crazy stalker right now, but I can assure you, that isn't the case at all. I guess I was just lucky to meet her around,
Anytime I see her she happens to catch my attention, her smile will melt your heart let me not forget to mention ,"she's really beautiful" tomorrow is going to be just like all the other days, I am hoping to run into Nuella tomorrow, he said to himself as he stood up and head to his room to have his sleep.
The next day at school he chuckled, noticing me ignoring him, apparently I don't know if I can handle him all day, but I don't really have a choice. it is getting to lunchtime, the morning had been good and lesson was interesting.
"would you join us for lunch" Saraph asked him. why would she do that I was hoping he would have lunch with his friends James and Lukas I needed a break from him I can't take his charm and him flirting with me any longer. he was driving me nuts, the bell rang; and everyone stepping out. he waited for me telling, Saraph and his friends to take the lead to the lunch hall and get us a seat.
"Come on, what's taking you so long" Daniel asked. "I'm coming," I said, I let out a groan of frustration, I threw my hands in the air before leaving the class. I did not mean to, but I can't handle Daniel around me. it's not like I don't like him, I do. it just that when he is around I turn to be nervous. we joined our friends at the lunch hall, whilst we were having lunch he slipped his arm around my shoulder, pulling me close to him. "with you around me I feel okay, he said.
I could notice people staring, I tried to ignore them, keeping my head down, fortunate for me lunch was over and I had to quickly move out. that saved me from my heart almost falling from out.
I was heading home, lessons was over for the day. I offered to give Nuella a lift home, but she had to attend to something after school. I was really disappointed when she said she isn't heading home right away.as he was driving home he thought about Nuella and wished he could hangout with her, nice ideal I know she secretly enjoys been around me, no matter how many times she denies it.. I hope I could someday tell her how I feel he said to himself,
"Good morning, beautiful," a message popped on Nuella's phone
"Good morning, I said. we actually exchanged contacts before he went home. do you want to grab a coffee before school? "he asked " of course I will love too, see you tomorrow then goodnight sweetheart dream about me he teased. I went to bed imaging how tomorrow with him alone would be like.
he pulled up at the coffee shop, the one that happens to be my favourite , cafe mondo" it makes the best coffee in town. "Nice choice , I said" thanks I have seen you here couple of times, we went in then grab some coffee, I knew you were attracted to me he said, with a charming look on his face. frustration took over me couldn't say any more words.
Well I am attracted to you too he whispered to me in a gentle tone, would you do me the favor of becoming my girlfriend? I rolled my eyes, not responding to him with words I was speechless, the only thing I could say was we need to get to school time is running. I will wait for you till you ready to give me an answer he said holding my hand. I couldn't do anything but giggled. he smiled, winking at me. can we please get to school I don't want to be late.
As we drive to school he squeezed my hand I smiled shyly back at him. turning away from him again. "what's wrong "Daniel asked.
Nothing am okay I said softly , I don't think you are, but if you insist," he said as we pull up at school.
I rushed out of the car and taking a deep breath, Nuella are you okay" Saraph asked as she walked towards me. "yeah fine", I smiled trying to pull myself together. Daniel came out of the car, my bestfriend smirked, giving a "oh I know what is wrong with you now she giggled "hey Daniel, Saraph smiled. hey he said, returning the smile," ladies see you two at lunch" off he went.
