Chapter 12
Daphne was being held by Niles, and she felt so safe in his arms. She wished this whole mess would go away, and she prayed Niles could forgive her, and Frasier.
"Daphne can I ask you something but don't freak out , I need to know"
"Anything Niles"
Daphne looked at Niles, and he looked into her eyes, and she knew she was not going to like what he was about to ask.
"Daphne when you kissed Frasier did you enjoy the kiss"?
"Niles why are you asking this it happened , and to tell you the truth I don't know what I was feeling"
"What"? Niles said as Daphne looked at him, and she was holding tears back, but she wanted to tell him the truth.
"I was angry Niles, I was angry with you for not giving me the attention I needed. I know you work hard, and I know you love me but I needed you that night, and you let me down. I met your Brother, and we both were just talking, and something happened. I don't know why we kissed, and I kissed him back. Frasier was not to blame, I think we both were feeling down, and it happened. I love you Niles , but I don't know what happened but I hope you can forgive me, and I swear it will never happen again."
"I am confused you are talking but did you answer my question"?
"You are asking me if I enjoyed the kiss Niles, I don't want to hurt you, but for that moment I enjoyed the kiss, and I know that sounds awful. I care for your Brother but it is you, I want to be with"
"Oh my God do you have feelings for Frasier just tell me the truth"?
"I love you Niles can you drop this please"
Niles sat down he couldn't breath, Daphne held his hand but he told her he would be ok. He got up almost running to the bathroom leaving Daphne feeling horrible. She was about to go to Niles but she heard a knock at the door. She ran over opening it, and Frasier was standing there, and he looked at Daphne, he could see she was about to cry.
"Daphne are you ok is Niles here"?
"Yes he is in the bathroom he is asking so many questions , and I think I made it worse"
"What are you talking about"?
"He asked me if I enjoyed the kiss, and I couldn't lie to him. I am so confused, I need to get some air, I will be back soon stay with Niles". She grabbed her jacket, and shoes, and left the apartment leaving Frasier standing in the doorway wondering what he should do next?
