The Date part two
Daniel POV
I apologized to Emma for earlier today. I meant it when I said that I trust her. I just don't like Jax much. The way he looks at her makes it seem like he has feelings for her, and that scares me. He's the one that got me stuck with the mbm nickname. I can't lose my girlfriend and my dignity to the same person.
I walk in The Seven to see Em waiting for me. I hope I'm not late. It won't look good for me to be late on a date where I'm supposed to make up for being a total jerk.
"Hey Em, I'm not late, am I?" Surely I'm not late.
"Nope, I'm just early, again" she says with a smile. I return her grin and sit across from her. Gigi comes up to us to take our order. Or gossip about our date. Probably the gossip. Here we go.
"Omgigi, are you guys on a date?!" Well no duh. She asks the dumbest questions. Em looks a little upset about the server. Well I'm gonna be as nice as possible.
"Yes, Gigi we are, now could you please just take our order?" I ask trying to be nice to her. Em mouths 'thank you'. I smile and nod a little.
"Gigi, just take their order!" Diego shouts from behind the counter. She groans.
"Fine" she whines, stomping her foot. She's such a child at times. At least wait until you're alone with your mommy.
"What would you like?" She asks in a semi rude tone.
"I'd like two slices on pepperoni pizza, please" I request. She jots it down on her pad of paper.
"And for you?" She asks Em, a little sweeter than before.
"I'd like two slices of caramel, onion, anchovy pizza please" Em orders in her voice she uses for ordering gross food. Gigi wrinkles her nose and jots it down.
"You're so weird" yeah, she is, but I lo- like her anyway. Did I almost think I love Emma?! Whatever, it was just a slip of the mind. It means nothing.
Gigi stalks off to the kitchen, leaving just Em and I. I stare at her for a few minutes. I can't help it, she looks so cute in teal. She looks at me and furrows her eyebrows slightly.
"What?" she asks with a giggle. She's so cute when she giggles. I blush a little.
"It's just, you look so beautiful in that dress" I admit. She blushes and smiles.
Ten minutes later Diego comes out with our pizza.
"Here you go," he says setting the pizzas down.
"Thank you" Emma and I say in unison. We laugh a little.
"I should be thanking you for dealing with Gigi." He chuckles.
"No problem" Em assures him with a sweet smile. He walks away.
"Have I told you how gorgeous you look tonight?" I ask. I know I have, but tonight I'm going to compliment her as often as humanly possible.
"Only about seven times." She giggles.
"I love what you did with your hair." I tell her, tucking it behind her ear.
"Thank you" she smiles.
We start eating our pizza. Then I notice something around her neck. It's the locket Jax gave her when he left. Why would she wear it?! OK Daniel, calm down. It probably means nothing. Or it means that I'm losing her to that, magicial, seductive, wizard guy! Curse his good looks and accent!
"Emma, what are you wearing?!" I hiss through gritted teeth as I stand up.
Emma POV
What? Two minutes ago he complimented me on how great I look in this dress. Then I realize that his gaze is fixed on my locket. Oh no. I knew he'd probably react, but not like this.
"W-what do you mean Danny?" I ask, a little scared. Then I remember what Jaxy told me. Stand up for myself. I feel a sudden flood of courage and I know that I'm going to stand up for myself this time. I stop cowering into the chair.
"That is what I mean!" He shouts gesturing towards my locket. Before I think this through I'm standing up so I'm a bit closer to his level.
"My locket?!" I shout. It comes out more a statement than a question. I notice everyone has stopped what they're doing in favor of staring at us, and Gigi is recording, but I don't care. I've stopped thinking, now I'm just acting.
"The locket he gave you!" Daniel screams. Wow. So he's mad because Jaxy gave me this. We were little kids for god's sake! He doesn't even know that Jaxy kissed my cheek!
"So is that what this is about?!" I ask way louder than necessary. He doesn't trust me does he? I don't believe this.
"Well, duh, why are you wearing it?!" Daniel demands. I decide to word my answer in a way that will really tick him off, just to be spiteful.
"I'm wearing it because it's special to me, and so is Jaxy!" Danny looks like he just got punched. I feel the guilt set in, but what I said was true. Jaxy means a lot to me.
We both sit down and stop looking at each other, arms crossed. Then something happens.
"I'm sorry, I just don't want to lose you" Danny whispers. I turn my head to look at him. I smile a bit.
"I know, and you won't" I say, lacing our fingers together. He looks at me and smiles.
"I'm sorry for going off like I did" I apologize," but he is special to me, and you need to understand and accept that for this to work"I say, gesturing to the two of us.
"I know, it's just hard" Danny admits," but I'll try my best to accept that."
"Good." I smile.
Just then our phones beep with a Miss Information alert about our fight. I sigh and Danny groans. It totally slipped my mind that she recorded our fight. Then I realize that Jaxy might see the video. He knows he's special to me, but yelling it for at least thirty other people to hear! Not to mention all the Miss Information viewers. I'm never going to live it down! Well, what can I do? Absolutely nothing.
