Today I am moving into the apartment with Cody and then going to Brooks party. I’m very excited to finally be on my own and not feel like I’m taking advantage of the Greens. I never really unpacked my boxes so it doesn’t take long to pack everything up. I still have to figure out what to do with my house. I’ll take care of that after I turn 18 so that I can get the money for it. After packing everything I look at Daniel to see his eyes still pressed closed. I shake my head, a smile on my face. Picking up some of the light boxes and bringing them downstairs. “Kisses? Where’s Daniel?” Brooks questions as I struggle with a heavier box. “He’s still sleeping. Its early” I laugh, looking at my watch. Its only 8:30. I wanted to get packing done early. “Go wake his ass up. You need help” Jim takes the box from Brooks. “I can manage” I smile, running up the stairs to grab another box. Once all the boxes are at the door I decide to wait for Daniel to wake up to bring them to the car.
Daniel got his acceptance letter to UCLA today. I applied but still haven’t heard back. “You’ll get in Kiss. You’re so smart” He rubs my arm, placing a kiss on my temple. “I don’t know” I mumble, fumbling with the letter and almost full ride scholarship to North Carolina State. UCLA has always been a dream school of mine. I always wanted to be an English teacher. Recently my idea of a major has changed. I’ve been leaning towards Veterinary Science. I applied to North Carolina because of the vet program but I don’t want to lose Daniel. “So its between UCLA and NC?” Daniel asks, grabbing the letter out of my hand. “Yeah, being a vet is really appealing to me” I frown. “So go Kiss. UCLA doesn’t offer a vet program” He runs his hands through my hair. “But-“ I start before he stops me by placing his lips on mine. “Consider it” He whispers. “Lunch will be ready in 5” He says, walking into the kitchen. “Fuck” I curse under my breath, walking into the kitchen. My room is now all fin
~Skip to my birthday~ I open my eyes, happy to see Daniel’s face next to me, fast asleep. He looks so peaceful. I smile, grabbing my phone and heading downstairs slowly, not wanting to wake anyone. I make a quick cup of coffee, getting some bread, bacon, eggs and sausage from the kitchen. I might as well make everyone breakfast. As I place the bacon in the oven to crisp up, I hear footsteps. “Kisses? What are you doing up? I was going to make you breakfast” Tara gasps seeing me heating up the sausage in a frying pan. “Surprise?” I question, laughing. “Happy birthday sweetie” Tara laughs, pulling me into a hug. I smile, kindly accepting her embrace. “Dammit Tara, she beat us to it” Jim whines seeing me cooking. “You guys do everything for me. Now shush up and stop complaining. Breakfast will be done soon” I smile. “Happy birthday Kisses” Jim laughs, hugging me. “Kisses making breakfast? That was your job mom” Kylie huffs walking into the kitchen with Brooks causing me to laugh. “
“Kisses, happy birthday” He smiles with glossy eyes. “This can’t be real” I smile through my tears. “How’s your day so far?” He smiles. “Its good, really good” I sigh, happily. “I can’t talk for long right now but I will later” He says, a tear falling out of his eye. I want nothing more but to cry to him over everything that’s happened but decide not to. We don’t have much time and I don’t want to worry him. “How are you?” I smile, nodding. “I’m good. Yeah, I’m really glad I got to face time you today. You’re legal, time to move” He laughs. “Already have an apartment to look at” I smile, motioning for Grace to sit next to me. “That’s great. Gracie, how are you? I miss you. I miss you both” He smiles, more tears welling in his eyes. She slings her arm around my shoulder, pulling me close to her. Luke being in the army has been hard for the whole family. He was like an older brother to me. The moment him and his family left and he decided to go in the service was heart breaking.
“How does it feel?” Daniel asks when I walk into his house. “Its sore” I sigh, sitting on the couch.I’ve had my boot off for a week now and just started Physical Therapy. “I know, I’m sorry baby” He gives me a small smile, handing me some ice. “Thank you” I pull him to sit down next to me. “When is your last hockey game?” I lean my head on his shoulder, looking down at my phone. “Tomorrow, it got moved from Friday” He frowns. “Oh wow” I say, not knowing it was so close. “Last game of my high school career. Shits crazy” He laughs, running his hand up and down my arm. The mixture of the ice and his touch cause goosebumps to cover my body. “Yeah, wow. You guys killed it this season. Do you think you’ll make it to the championship game?” I ask, looking up at Daniel. “I hope so. We got so close last year. It would be great to be able to do it this year” A smile spreads on his face. “You guys are going to do great. I know it” I kiss his cheek, closing my eyes. “Do you have any hom
~Daniel’s P.O.V~ I slowly get out of Kisses embrace and get ready for the game. My nerves pick up remembering this is the playoffs. It’ll be fine. Tim, Aiden and I have been preparing for weeks. I do some of my warm up exercises before I wake Kisses up. “Kiss, its time to get up” I whisper in her ear, kissing her temple. “Mm, are you sure?” She jokes, a smile on her face. “Yeah, I’m sorry hun” I smile back at her. “Are you ready for your game?” She sits up, rubbing her eyes. “I know, I’m going to touch up my makeup” She laughs, pulling her hands away from her eyes. “Just take it off, you don’t need it” I smile handing her my jersey. “Oh yeah, sure” She pulls my jersey over her shirt. “I’m going to ask if I can borrow Kylie’s jeans” She walks out of my room, fluffing her hair. “O-Okay” I stutter. F?ck, that was hot. I shake my head, clearing my mind from the thoughts. I need to finish getting ready. “Dan, should I put my hair up or leave it down?” She asks, reapplying h
~Kisses P.O.V~ I woke up in Daniel’s arms. I actually got some sleep last night. I change out of his clothes, pulling a white t-shirt and a blue denim skirt on. I grab a belt, some boots and my purse. I do my makeup quickly and pull my hair into a half up, half down hairstyle, not having time to do anything else to it. “Daniel, you need to get up” I leave a quick kiss on his lips, feeling arms around my waist. “Come join me” He smirks before pulling me to straddle him. “Daniel” I shriek. “We have school” I giggle, tracing his neckline. “So later?” He opens one eye. “I did not realize you were wearing that” His pupils dilate. “Shut up. Get dressed, I’ll get you coffee” I laugh, getting off him. “You’re no fun” He squeezes my waist, causing me to squirm. “I hate it when you do that” I whine, taking the steps one at a time. I pour the both of us some coffee and bring the cups upstairs. “Here you go Dan” I put it on the sink. “Thank you” He kisses my cheek. I sit on his bed,
~Daniel’s P.O.V~ I cant believe he said that. Who in their right mind would say that? Its utterly disgusting. He needs to learn a lesson. Not to talk to my girl, especially not like that. He should not talk to anyone like that. My nostrils flare as my fist comes in contact with the punching bag. “Fucking dick” I curse, trying to blow off some steam. “No way, Daniel Green. It’s been a while” A voice says behind me. “What do you want Drew?” I growl, not in the mood to talk to anyone. “Someone’s angry” He chuckles, crossing his arms. “Do you need something? I’m a little busy” I roll my eyes, punching the bag harder. “Fight me” He shrugs. “No” I answer simply. I need to save my energy for later. “Why not? Stop being a pussy. The Mason I knew was never scared” He irks me. “Shut your fucking mouth Drew. I’m fighting someone later. I don’t want to waste my energy on you” I sneer. Drew, my old fighting buddy. I used to take my anger out on him before I got introduced to alcohol.
