Chapter 11
Hayley's POV
Ι was at my home watching TV but I was bored and I also wanted to forget what happened in the morning. It is 8:30 in the evening, so I decided to call Daniel.
"Hey, what's up?"
"Oh, hi Hayley! How are you?"
"I'm bored… Want to hang out with me?"
"Yeah, sure! I'm finishing work at 9, do you want me to pick you up?"
"Yes, that would be great! See you later!" I said and hung up. I opened my closet. What should I wear tonight? It's strange that I care how I do look now cause when I was dating Chad we wouldn't go out very often. You see, it's hard when your boyfriend is a member of a band and it's even worse when your in a band too, you can't hang out with him very often. I would be excited if I could go out with him twice in a month. But now I don't care about him.
The doorbell rang. My best friend Dakotah was outside.
"Hey, come in!"
"Why are you so nervous?" she asked as she sat on the couch.
"Come upstairs and I'll tell you."
"So tell me what's the matter?" she asked and sat on my bed.
"It's kind of a huge story…"
"It's okay, tell me."
"Well, yesterday I was at Starbucks at I walked right into someone. We met and he will pick me up at 9."
"And what about Chad?"
"Oh…eh, Chad and I are…we are over…"
"Really? Why didn't you tell me?"
"It happened in the morning."
"Okay…and what about him?"
"Whom?"
"The boy who will pick you up later."
"Oh, you mean Daniel! Well, I don't know, I'm still getting over Chad."
"Hey, let go of him! He's not worthy of you Hay. A gazillion boys would die for you and you're stuck on Chad? Forget him!"
"I'm trying to and now you will help me. What should I wear tonight?"
"Oh, someone's in love…"
"Oh help me! It's already twenty to nine!"
"Okay, okay…"
Anyway, I wore my black skinny jeans with an orange T-shirt that matches my vivid cherry red hair. I looked out of the window and saw a black car coming. So I fixed quickly my hair, put my Doc Marten's white boots on, grabbed my stuff and got out. Dakotah winked at me.
"Hi Daniel!" I said happily and jumped in his car.
"Hey, what's up?"
"I'm fine what about you?"
"I'm good…So, where do you want to go?"
"I'd go everywhere with you…" I said and then I realized he was flirting with me. How sweet…
"Choose a place and tell me…"
I took my thinking look. "What about going for ice-cream?"
"Yeah, that's a great idea! Then we can go for ice-skating if you want to."
"Okay, but you will take care of me…" I giggled. "I tried once when I was 7 and I broke my arm."
"I'm sorry to hear that…"
We ate ice-cream and after that we went for ice-skating.
"Come on, try it, it's fun!" he said. I'm a bit afraid.
"I will hold your hand, you won't fall down. I promise."
I smiled and he did too. He took my hand and we got in the ice skating rank together. He's such a sweet guy…I think I'm falling in love with him…
When he held my hand a wave of electricity ran through my whole body. I liked it. "Have you done ice-skating before?" I asked.
"I have been a time or two with friends…"
"Okay…" I turned my head around and…I cannot believe it! The men I hate the most were standing a few feet away from me. They were staring at me in a mean way. I lost my focus and almost fell down, but before I crashed into the ice I felt Daniel's hands around my waist. Luckily he caught me, I could have hurt myself badly.
"Hey are you ok?" he asked, his voice was full of concern. I gave a cold look at Josh and Chad.
"Yeah…Thank you for catching me, or I'd have broken a couple of bones."
"Your welcome." he said kindly.
"Can you do me a favour?"
"Of course yes, tell me."
"It's kind of weird, but, can you pretend you're my boyfriend?"
"Okay, no problem." He was eager to do it.
Around a quarter later we were sitting on a table which was 2 tables away from Josh and Chad's table.
"So, do you want to drink something?"
"No thanks…You?"
"No…" He looked into my eyes. "Hey, what's wrong? You seem to be afraid!"
Yes, I am afraid. Because Josh and Chad are walking towards us. I'm lucky cause Daniel is sitting next to me and somehow that makes me feel safe.
"Ready to pretend we are a couple?" I said.
He nodded, and when we saw Josh getting closer, my eyes met Daniel's great dark blue eyes.
"Kiss me…" I whispered to him. I don't want to kiss him just to make Josh leave me alone, I do it because I want to. I want to kiss him. He kissed me softly. And I liked it. Then I turned my head around and saw Josh looking at us like an idiot. His mouth dropped open.
"Hayley?" He was so shocked that he couldn't talk. I wish I could kill people by looking at them. If I would, Josh should have been a billion times dead now.
I looked into his chocolate brown eyes. "What do you want from me?" I said coldly.
"Hayley? How could you?"
"Just go away. You know I don't want to talk to you."
"But y-"
"Just go away!"
"Go to hell!" he yelled while walking away.
"Thank God! He left us alone!" I said happily and hugged Daniel, who, by the way is an amazing kisser. I won't let him know that.
"Can I ask you something?" he said when sitting on my living room with me.
"Yeah, of course!" I hope he won't ask me about Chad or Josh.
"What happened with Chad?" Oh no.
"Oh, it seems that a handsome man is stalking me!" I joked and we laughed.
"Whatever…I don't think I'd ever do that to you, but don't gimme ideas…" I laughed again.
"Eh…Chad and I…we are over. We broke up this morning." I said and tears started running down my cheeks.
"Please don't cry…I don't think that such beautiful girls as you should cry…" he said and wiped my tears.
"He believed what Josh said!" I shouted. "Why?"
"Hayley, I read what Josh wrote and it's awful. If Chad believed him, then just let him go. He's not worthy of you, you deserve something better. Someone better."
I looked up at his awesome face. "Really?"
"Yes Hay. Cause you're wonderful."
"Thanks Daniel…" I said and looked at the clock.
"Do you want me to leave?"
"Oh no, of course no!"
A phone rang with Taylor's favourite song: Born For This.
"Is it yours?" I asked.
"Yes, it's my sis."
"Do you live with your family?"
"No. Officially I'm from England. My parents live in London and I'm living there with my sis."
"Okay."
"Sorry Hay, but I must leave. She's sick and dizzy and I'm afraid that when I go home I will find her lying on the floor. And I don't want that to happen."
"Ok then. Eh…see you tomorrow?"
"I have the day off on Saturday, so if you want to we can go out." Today's Thursday.
"Okay, I will call you tomorrow!" He gave me a kiss on the check and left.
It's strange because it's only 2 days after I met him and now I think I have feelings for him. They got stronger the moment we kissed.
When I was about to sleep, my phone rang. It was Daniel. "Goodnight Hay! " the message said.
"Night :D" I sent to him and fell asleep on my bed.
