Chapter Seven

Realization dawned when I awoke early the next morning. The look I had seen in Danny's eyes when we met only a morning ago was recognition. He had remembered me from when he had saved me. And I couldn't believe I was slowly falling head over hills for a guy I had just met only 24 hours earlier, who also happened to be the ghost I was secretly in love with since that day almost exactly a year ago.

Well, I thought, now my being in 'love' with a ghost didn't seem so wrong and weird. In all reality he was only half ghost. I still wasn't going to go tell Danny I was in love with his other persona, however. Tucker could be the only known 'fan' of Phantom living in this apartment for as long as I wanted him to be.

Somehow in all of my ponderings I had ended up in the shower, washing my hair. I finished quickly, Saturdays were the days I went to the Farmer's Market early, and seeing as it was Saturday, the local farmer's would be waiting for me. I toweled off and dressed in a black tank top, my favorite dark jeans and my studded belt.

I toweled off my hair, parted it on the side and ran my fingers through it, damp and all. Brushing my teeth, I again went deep into thought. Maybe I'd invite Danny to go with me to the Farmer's Market, make up some silly excuse as to why I need him to come. Like, tell him I need another person, someone strong, to help me carry large pieces of fruits and vegetables.

By the time I had finished pondering yet again, my gums were bleeding a little but my teeth were shinny clean. Smearing on lavender lip gloss and mascara I emerged into the kitchen…to see Danny sitting in his underwear at the kitchen counter, hair askew.

"What are you doing sitting up?!?!!" I asked once I remembered his current state of being impaired, seeing his wrapped bare chest.

"Um, I was hungry. Last time I checked the kitchen is normally where food's kept." Danny said with a smile. "But, unfortunately, I couldn't make it any farther than the chair I sit in."

"Oh, Danny." I stated sadly. "What do you want for breakfast?"

"Um, you got some cereal?"

"Yeah. What do you want…" I started as I opened the cabinet seeing what we had. "Lucky Charms, Frosted Flakes, Corn Flakes, Brain, or Oreo O's?" I asked, confused that we had Oreo O's, I'd never seen them before.

"I'm guessing all the sugary ones aren't your first choice?" he asked smiling.

"Yeah, I like them but I only splurge every now and then." I smiled back. "Now, which do you want?"

"Hmmm…Oreo O's, I think."

"Well, I have no clue how old they are, I've never seen them, so they're probably left from Sarah." I told him as I grabbed the box, a bowl, a spoon and the milk. I quickly made him a bowl and set it in front of him.

He warily picked up the spoon, dipped it into the bowl, bringing out a spoonful of Oreo O's and milk. He sniffed it carefully, making me giggle softly, before he took a bite. After swallowing it, he smiled, eyes sparkling. "Perfect." he winked.

I smiled, blushing slightly. "Like I thought."

I let him eat in silence while I toasted two pieces of wheat bread. "So, why are you up and dressed so early?" Danny asked once he had finished his cereal and pushed his bowl aside.

"I go to the Farmer's Market every Saturday Morning and stock up on fresh vegetables and fruits." I replied, taking a bite of my just popped up wheat toast and butter.

"Oh, would you mind some company? Tucker has class today and I don't want to sit around doing nothing. I called work and told them I couldn't come in, but I really, really don't want to lay in bed all day."

Yes, yes, yes! Come sweep me off my feet...Sam…get a hold of yourself. "Sure, but can you walk that much? I don't want you to make your ribs worse, let alone your knee." I replied, concerned for him.

"I'll be fine. Just give me some pain medicine and don't walk to fast or get too far." Danny smiled.

I laughed, something I was doing more than normal, which I think had to do with Danny. But seriously, I could lose my rep as a respected Goth if I didn't quit the laughing. Now, I like to laugh, I just normally only laugh 2 times a day, now I'm laughing 2 or 3 times a half hour, if not more.

"Well, we see how it goes. But the moment it's too much for you, you're coming straight home." I said, mock 'mother's concern' dripping from my mouth.

Danny laughed, getting my joke. "Yes, Mother." was the sarcastic reply. "But, do I really have to come back?" he fake whined.

"Yes, you do. I wasn't joking about what I said, just the way I said it." I replied before finishing my wheat toast.

"Fine." he snorted, spoiled-child-not-getting-what-they-want look written all over his face, until some realization dawned on him. "Um, how do I take a shower?"
