"Not really "I said with a
shrug.
"Oh well , he'll get to you sometime."She said
smugly.
"What are you implying ?"I asked
confused.
"Oh nothing , Daniel just likes to get close with girls.
"She responded.
"A - lot of girls. "Sarah added.
"Oh , thanks for the warning "I said
quietly.
"You're welcome "Lacey said with
a squeaky voice turning around from me all the others
following.
Of course I was right. He did have a multitude of girls just like
i thought. This was just a plain confirmation. Than why did i
feel so hurt ? I knew it this entire time yet i still felt hurt.
I felt a tap on the back of my shoulder. I
turned around to a confused Daniel.
"I'm fine"I said wrapping my arms around him.
Flashing him one of my famous fake smiles that always worked on
anyone. Even my own mother.
He gave me a long hard look. I felt as if he could see right
through me and that fact alone scared me.
Eventually , he dropped it and turned around turning on the
motorcycle. As soon as i felt the engine rev up
i immediately tightened my
grip around hid waist. There was no room between my
chest and his back. That is how closer we were. I was
scared for my life , but than when he actually started to drive
i visibly noticed myself relax. It felt so free , nice
, reckless there wern't enough words in the dictionary
to explain this feeling.
"Now that's more like it "I heard Daniel comment .
Even though it was hard to hear him through the wind. We passed
by all this farm land. It was so amazing how many animals there
are. How much farmland there is. There wasn't much
civilization it was basically the opposite of what i was used to.
I wasn't sure whether i liked it or not , but it
was definitely something. We had finally stopped into this cute
little town which was filled with cars. You could see this fair
from the distance with the Ferris wheel and all. Also ,
you could hear all the voices. It looked quite event full.
We took off our helmets and stepped of the bike.
"Let's go "Daniel commented grabbing me
by the hand dragging me with him by surprise. I let out a
small yelp , it was hard to keep up with him and his long
strides.
"Are - We- Almost - There- "I said nearly out of
breath.
"Cant keep up?"He asked confidently.
"You're - so - fast"I said starting to catch my
breath.
"Oh , i know darlin '
"He said with a wink. I just rolled my eyes.
"Now let me introduce you to some lovely ladies
"He said walking up to a bunch of beautiful girls.
"Lacey , Sarah , Samantha
, Rebbecca and Natalie "He introduced
than walked away just like that.
Yeah , definitely not a date. Taylor you're a silly
silly girl.
"Hi " They all chorused."
"Hi" I responded shyly.
"So , you're from the north ?"Samantha asked. I
just nodded.
"You have such a strong accent
" Natalie added. Once again , i just
nodded.
Than out came Lacey with her question
,
"So , you and Daniel . Are you guys close ?"She asked
pleasantly with some form of deceit i could just
tell.
Chapter 9
Getting ready was going to be different today i wanted to look
good. Regardless of whether this was a date or all in
my head i knew i wanted to look good. I decided to wear a pair of
white lace shorts , with a loose fitting maroon long sleeve shirt
with a side pocket with maroon vans, curled hair , light makeup,
and gold hoops. The whole outfit flowed nicely. There
was a knock at the door ,and i automatically knew it was Daniel.
I smiled to myself walking to the door to greet
him.
"Hey "I said with a smile .
"Hey , ready to go ?" He asked with a smile
.
"Yeah" I said
coming outside expect to see one of those hideous
things that goes by the name of pick up trucks. Instead I stared
back at a Harley Davidson bad as* black motorcycle. It took me
by surprise , i had a huge fear of motorcycles. I was
not going to share that with him though , that would be giving
him satisfaction. So , i decided to bravely just sit on
the motorcycle in expectation of him to join me. Except
, that's not how things went. To my own mortification I fell
right on my butt trying to get on. I looked up to a chuckling
Daniel with his hand out offering me assistance. I really
shouldn't try to pull off the tough girl act it doens't
suit me. I took his hand , he pulled me up without any effort
needed. He lightly placed the helmet on my head. Gently touched
my chin fastening the straps.
"Thanks "I mumbled.
"You are welcome"He said in a normal voice getting on
the bike and placing his own helmet on easily as if it was second
nature.
"You coming ?"He said with a smirk. Just staring at me.
I gave him a sarcastic look ,and than got on.
"You know that requires actual physical contact with me ,
scary i know but you'll actually have to wrap your arms
around my waist unless you have a death wish. "He said.
Something he said about a death wish sent my brain off. Just that
sentence enough was enough to get me thinking about my addiction.
He must have noticed something was up , because he asked with a
concerned look
"Are you okay ?"
