Chapter 9

KARI

I ran up the stairs breathing hard, it was only a moment of weakness... I kept telling myself, the feelings I was getting was not because of Daniel. No, he made it perfectly clear he didn't care about me.

So then why did he look so hurt when you flinched away from his touch... A little voice whispered in my head. The voice was right he looked hurt and worried as he watched me. No! I shook my head and sat on the floor, my back to the wall as I took deep breaths to calm my rapid heart and shaking hands. Gosh, the feelings I got when he pulled me in were so intense I almost couldn't take it. Why does Daniel have this kind of power over me. I groaned and buried my head in my hands. I was so weak, nobody has ever made me feel so hot inside and tingly at his touch. The door to my right suddenly busted open, snapping me out of my thoughts. Avery came walking out of the bathroom smiling, when she saw me sitting there she ran to me and pulled me up.

"Wheres the popcorn?" she asked. I slapped my palm to my forehead and groaned.

"Ugh! I left it downstairs." I said. Avery placed a hand on my arm.

"Its okay I'll get it, just go to my room." she skipped down the stairs and I happily obliged. Walking into her room I plopped myself onto her bed and stared at the ceiling. I sat back up when I heard Avery come in.

"What happened downstairs?" she asked sitting down next to me with the bag of popcorn in between us.

"Nothing, I don't want to talk about it." I said quietly wrapping my hands around my wrists.

"Well Daniels downstairs looking depressed." Avery said sighing.

"But if you don't want to talk about it then we won't." she finished. I exhaled in relief, but then I saw the mischievous glint in her eyes.

"So how'd the date go?" she asked raising her eyebrows. I tried not to let the smile on my face get to big, but I guess it didn't work since Avery started squealing.

"What happened? Was he nice? Did he make you laugh? Was he rude?" she started firing questions at me and I gave her an amused expression.

"Well he was definitely not what I was expecting. He was so sweet and yes he did make me laugh." I said sighing, smiling as my mind wandered back to the memory of that night.

"He told me he works at a hotel even though he has money." I informed Avery.

"Why?" she asked in disbelief.

"He says he wants to make his own money, he doesn't want to keep depending on his parents to support him with living expenses and what not." I said.

"Wow, I give him respect for that." Avery said.

"I know I really admired that about him."

"So was he cute?" Avery said giggling.

"Yeah he was cute with striking blue eyes and black tousled hair, he really changed. It amazed me." I said remembering those laugh lines and dimples, the way his sharp blue eyes glinted in the candle light.

"What if he had been nerdy still? Avery asked. I pondered that, what if he had been?

"To tell you the truth, I really liked his personality, and even though looks have something to do with my attraction to him, I still would have given him a chance." I said.

"In fact he asked me out again for next Saturday." I said grinning form ear to ear. Avery jumped up and hugged me.

"We should double date!" she said, I could already see the wheels in her head spinning.

"Sure! That'd be great."

"I think he'd be good for you." Avery said in a more serious tone.

"I know how you feel about my brother." Avery whispered and I stood silent from shock.

"Wha..?" I said trying to form a coherent sentence.

"Please Kari I can see the way you look at him and the way you always seem to get nervous around him." she said.

"Me? Nerv-" I said but Avery cut me off with a shake of her head and continued talking.

"I also see that my brother is too stupid to realize his feelings too."

"What feelings?" I asked confused.

"Look, I just want you to be happy and I can see that Josh can make that happen. So please don't give up on him." Avery smiled at me and I watched as her concerned eyes softened. I smiled faintly but I could feel that she was right, if anyone could make me forget about the one guy I can't seem to stop thinking about, it would be Josh. He was smart, funny, handsome, and an over all great guy.

"Your right Ave, I have to forget about Daniel and Josh definitely brightens up my day." I said and lied down as Avery started eating the popcorn. I put in a movie and we both started watching it. My mind kept wondering back and I couldn't help but think, what was Daniel doing now? And what was he thinking about?
