Hello there! So I am so sorry about the delay with this. I have been extremely busy with school and my community band groups. Thank you to everyone for reading this and staying patient with me. Huge shout out to rgs38 for all of the hard work that you put into my story with grammar and all of the great suggestions, and to Mistress Nix for keeping me motivated!
Twenty minutes later Dani reached home. It was starting to rain and she felt that things were turning south. She walked in the door to find Adam in the kitchen unpacking. She did not feel like talking but there was nothing she could do. One way or another he would get it out of her.
They had been dating since senior year of high school. Everyone thought they made a great couple because of how well they worked together. When they got into college Adam began to notice differences in how she was acting. They were not bad differences either. In that time, it seemed that Adam had become a pro at reading Dani. He had always tried to get her to open up more to him but she had always laughed it off, ultimately not giving up much information for him to help her with.
"Hey honey, I didn't even hear you come in how was your day?" Adam asked, as he looked up from the box that he was unpacking.
"Don't ask. Hand me that box honey." Dani frowned as she moved towards to pile of boxes that laid on the island.
"No way Dan. You have to relax. I have this all under control." He said sweetly as his soft and caring eyes searched hers.
"NOOOO…. I want to help. Mister if you think your going to get away with doing it all by yourself you are so wrong…." She faded out as he looked at her sympathetically.
"Dan, go get a shower or something." She stared at him with her stubborn glare. "I have this. Dan I love you but sometimes you get a little grumpy when things do not go the way you want them to. So that Is why I am not going to ask about your day because I don't want you to tare my head off." He smirked as she walked over and punched him playfully.
She turned on her heels and walked back into the hallway. Once dropping her stuff in the bedroom she walked over to the closet and pulled out a pair of gap sweat pants and an NYPD sweatshirt. Her feet padded across the wood floor as she made her way to the bathroom.
Once in the bathroom she turned the water on. It was turned on so it was as hot as it could get. She turned towards the mirror and looked at the bags that had formed under her eyes. Suddenly she remembered the conversation that she had had with her father.
"Hey dad it's me." She said into the phone as she made her way towards the elevator. She heard him sigh on the other line. "What dani?" He had asked she felt as if she had just been slapped in the face. The irritation was visible. After today all she wanted to d was crawl up in his arms and fall asleep. She knew though that after their fight that it would take a while to crawl up with him.
"Dad I am sorry. I should have understood. I just… I … I don't know." She found herself on the verge of tears.
"Dani, I understand you need some space and your own freedom. Ok? I get that but I don't want you to end up dead because you try to help someone who is ungreatful and would rather shoot off their anger. What do you think would happen to me? Or your friends? We need you in our lives. You take up such a big part in our lifes. I cant imagine my life without you."
"Dad, I love you. Greg is here and he will try his hardest to keep me out of trouble. I will be careful, I promise. Ascolta me, dad, I will be careful.
"Ok, just make sure you call me tomorrow morning. This conversation isn't over. I love you good night."
Buona Notte. Grazie, dad."
After thirty six minutes Dani knew she should get of the shower now or she would be pulled out by Adam. After she was dressed she walked towards the kitchen.
"Adam, don't bother calling for pizza. I am just going to bed. See you in the morning." She said as she kissed him.
"Are you sure?"
"Yea. Good night."
Good night sweetheart."
TA DA! So that was chapter three… I am going to try my hardest to update quickly as for I have an outline for my next story already! So why don't you hit that button down there and let me know what you think! More to come soon.
