Never What it Seems

James-Last Wednesday at 8:09 PM

James stepped out of the cab with a judgemental scowl as he looked over the building that Daniel had chosen for his practice. It was hardly up to the man's standards, but he could give him the benefit of the doubt today as he had been up all night after receiving shocking news. Stepping into the office, he looked around for a long moment before acknowledging the secretary. "Hello, I'm James Bennett. I believe my son knows we have a meeting."

Isley-Last Wednesday at 8:17 PM

Isley had been so nervous that morning that she woke up an hour early just to decide on her outfit. Ellie said no color, Daniel said be yourself. Finally, she settled on being herself and opted for a patterned skirt and a burgundy blouse. The whole car ride, Isley had been rambling to Daniel about every worst case scenario she could think of, until eventually he kissed her to shut her up. Only a few moments after they settled in, he walked in. She tried not to look intimidated as he approached her. Standing, she reached out her hand to offer a handshake. "Yes sir, I'm Isley Whittaker. Mr. Bennett is ready to see you." Isley gestured to Daniel's door, feeling proud that she had said Mr. Bennett instead of Danny.

Daniel-Last Wednesday at 8:21 PM

Daniel tried to focus on his work before his father came in but he was so nervous. Drew hadn't shown up, which was extremely out of character for him and made Daniel wonder what had happened the night before. When he heard his door open, he stood for his father and gave him a smile. "Hey dad. It's nice to see you." He greeted his father with a firm handshake. "What do you think of the office?"

James-Last Wednesday at 8:25 PM

James entered Daniel's office and gave his son a tight lipped smile at his greeting. At least one of his children appreciated him. He shook his hand, then looked around the office. "It's small and the outside isn't anything to be excited about but I think it's a good temporary workspace." He took a seat at Daniel's desk. "That's quite a pretty secretary you have out there."

Daniel-Last Wednesday at 8:29 PM

His eyes peaked to Isley outside of his room and then back to his father. He cleared his throat as he sat down and clasped his hands on top of the desk. "Actually, dad, I need to talk to you about that." He couldn't believe he was doing this at all but he had to get the words out. "We're dating. Since right before the divorce was finalized." He looked his father in the eye. "I wanted to make sure it was serious before I told everyone."

James-Last Wednesday at 8:33 PM

How many more surprises was James going to be dealt on this trip? Daniel's words caused an irritation at the word 'serious', but he understood where those feelings were coming from. He was fresh off of a divorce and looking for attention. "Well, son, if she's what is making you happy right now then I wish you two the best." Of course he knew that Daniel would grow bored of that woman soon enough so he didn't have to take the relationship seriously. "It's easy to get involved with the woman you're sitting feet away from every day. Hell, I can't say I haven't done the same."

Daniel-Last Wednesday at 8:37 PM

Daniel's eyebrows shot up as his father gave him his well wishes. "Thank you.." He replied cautiously. As his father went on, Daniel couldn't help but feel offended. "It's not like that, dad. I'm in love-" He was about to insist that his relationship with Isley was not a fling but was caught off guard by the admittance that his father had messed with his secretaries. He had always thought that above everything else, his parents had loved one another. No wonder he hadn't been able to keep his own marriage together when he had a broken one to look up to all along. He tried not to let it bother him at that moment, knowing his father would find it unbecoming if Daniel got emotional. "Anyways, I just thought you should know that Isley is a wonderful secretary and she is in school to be a lawyer right now. She will be a great asset to us someday." He settled on those words instead of the relationship.

James-Last Wednesday at 8:49 PM

Love? His son was in love with this secretary? The fact that the woman was in law school did help the situation but he still was unconvinced that she was the best choice for Daniel. "As long as you can keep this business running professionally and successfully, I am happy for whatever choices you decide to make. Though, I would appreciate it if you would tell people she is your colleague and not your secretary when asked. It sounds less... Scandalous." He advised. "Now, show me everything you need to show me."

Daniel-Last Wednesday at 8:52 PM

Daniel was surprised at how well his dad was taking this news. He scrambled to grab the stack of papers that held all of their financial information, clients, and everything else that pertained to how the business was running. As his father looked through them, Daniel excused himself so he could go talk to Isley. He shut his office door behind him and stood by her desk. "My dad just admitted to having affairs on my mom and I'm gonna flip out." He said quickly.

Isley-Last Wednesday at 8:55 PM

Isley had been sitting at her desk, trying to focus on her job and failing, instead wondering what was going on in Dan's office. After what felt like forever, Daniel emerged, closing the doors behind him. She stood as he approached, about to ask how it was going when he spoke. "Holy shit, he just admitted it? Like that?" Seeing how Daniel was shocked and shaking, Isley quickly took his hands and stepped closer to him. "Hey, don't flip out right now, we can flip out at home, okay?"

Daniel-Last Wednesday at 8:56 PM

"I told him that we were dating and he started saying all this weird shit about how it's easy to get involved with someone you sit feet away from and that he had done it a few times." He took in a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. "This was horrible timing to start therapy, why'd I do this?" He squeezed her hands. "I'm trying not to, but like.. Does my mom know? My poor mom.."

Isley-Last Wednesday at 9:00 PM

Feeling him squeeze her hands, Isley decided that he needed more and threw her arms around him in a tight hug. "This was the perfect timing to start therapy, actually." She said with a bitter laugh. "It's okay, just breathe, baby, just breathe. We can't do anything about it now, so we'll have to deal with it later. Let's just take this one second at a time."

Daniel-Last Wednesday at 9:03 PM

He didn't feel like it was a good time to start focusing on feeling things when he was being faced with a situation like this. He let her hug him and nodded his head. "I can do this." He said and pulled away from her to shake his arms a bit. "Poker face. I am good at that. I can still do that." He sighed before walking back into the office and sat down across from his dad once again. "How's it look?" He asked after a long moment.

Isley-Last Wednesday at 9:06 PM

"Yeah, if anyone can, it's you." She said, winking at him before watching him disappear back into the office and returning to her work.

James-Last Wednesday at 9:10 PM

James read over the papers, mentally taking notes of all the things that he had to go over with Daniel. There wasn't much, Daniel had managed to put things together pretty smoothly, but he did want to guide him where he could. He held his finger up when Daniel asked how things looked, then lifted his head to look at his son. "It seems to be going fairly well. I'll have Isley send a copy of these to my secretary and then I have some business calls to attend to so I will go back to my hotel for a bit." He stood and walked out to Isley's desk. "Please send these to Nicole at my office for filing." After handing her the papers, he made his way back outside so he could focus on his work, now seeing that he didn't have to focus on Daniel's.

Daniel-Last Wednesday at 9:16 PM

Daniel felt relieved that his father's visit was going to be short lived, though he was still surprised. He figured something must have been going on that he didn't know about but for now, he was okay being out of the loop. He stepped out of his office and stood by Isley. "That was super fucking weird."

Isley-Last Wednesday at 9:17 PM

"How'd it go? With the business portion, I mean." She asked, standing up and leaning on her desk.

Daniel-Last Wednesday at 9:17 PM

"It went good. He said that it seems like I've got a handle on things, pretty much." He shrugged.

Isley-Last Wednesday at 9:19 PM

"Okay, so now that that's handled...what the fuck? He's been having an affair?" Isley kept her voice down, but her shock was evident.

Daniel-Last Wednesday at 9:19 PM

He sighed as he leaned against the door. "I feel like my childhood was just ripped out from under me."

Isley-Last Wednesday at 9:20 PM

"I would, too. That's crazy. And he just said it so casually?"

Daniel-Last Wednesday at 9:21 PM

"Yeah, like it was nothing." He shook his head.

Isley-Last Wednesday at 9:21 PM

"Do you think your mom would be having affairs, too?"

Daniel-Last Wednesday at 9:22 PM

"No!" He replied quickly. "I don't want to talk about it."

Isley-Last Wednesday at 9:29 PM

"Okay, babe, we won't talk about that." She said gently, touching his arm.

Daniel-Last Wednesday at 9:29 PM

"I thought I would be upset after talking to him about us but not about his relationship." He shook his head. "At least we know he's not going to get too involved in my business.. "

Isley-Last Wednesday at 9:31 PM

"Well, that, and at least he didn't disown you for being in a relationship with your secretary." She answered with a shrug.

Daniel-Last Wednesday at 9:31 PM

"He told me to tell people we're colleagues." He said with a laugh.

Isley-Last Wednesday at 9:33 PM

"Ooo, does this mean I get a promotion?" She teased.

Daniel-Last Wednesday at 9:34 PM

"Executive assistant." He joked.

Isley-Last Wednesday at 9:34 PM

"Nice." Chuckling, she tucked herself into his side. "Hey, where's Drew?"

Daniel-Last Wednesday at 9:41 PM

"I don't know.." He admitted as he wrapped his arm around her. "It's so weird that he's not here."

Isley-Last Wednesday at 9:45 PM

"Do you think it has something to do with your dad? He didn't ask, so he must know."

Daniel-Last Wednesday at 9:45 PM

"I do.. He mentioned going back to his hotel room so something must have happened."

Isley-Last Wednesday at 9:46 PM

"Look at us, we're like detectives." She laughed before speaking again. "I wonder what happened."

Daniel-Last Wednesday at 9:47 PM

"I do too. One time, I broke my leg playing football and had to have surgery.. My dad only let me miss one day of school even though the doctor insisted on 2 weeks. So... I can't imagine what happened there."

Isley-Last Wednesday at 9:50 PM

"What the hell, could you even walk?"

Daniel-Last Wednesday at 9:54 PM

"With crutches. I was on painkillers so I kept getting in trouble for sleeping in class. It was seriously the worst."

Isley-Last Wednesday at 10:10 PM

"Holy shit. I'm so glad you're nothing like him, baby."

Daniel-Last Wednesday at 10:10 PM

"Avery thinks I'm just like him." He said quietly.

Isley-Last Wednesday at 10:11 PM

Taken aback, she moved away from him to hold him at a distance. "What? How?" She asked incredulously.

Daniel-Last Wednesday at 10:13 PM

He shrugged "That's what she told me when we first broke up. That I had turned into my father."

Isley-Last Wednesday at 10:14 PM

"She's insane. You're nothing like him. You're gentle and kind and caring and loving, and that's just the start." She said, wrapping her arms around him again.(edited)

Daniel-Last Wednesday at 10:17 PM

He hugged her back "I guess I probably wasn't all of those things with her toward the end."

Isley-Last Wednesday at 10:19 PM

"Maybe not, but that doesn't change who you are as a person."

Daniel-Last Wednesday at 10:22 PM

"Are you sure about that? Because she's pretty much told me a million times that I'm just like him and it worries me. I mean, I love the guy but he's not someone I want to be."

Isley-Last Wednesday at 10:22 PM

"I've never been more sure of anything in my life, baby. If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't be trying to make you the father of my child."

Daniel-Last Wednesday at 10:23 PM

He nodded his head "I'm sorry, I guess that whole conversation just got me thinking about things."

Isley-Last Wednesday at 10:43 PM

"Don't be sorry. I think it's important to talk about that, especially since you're new to this whole feelings thing." She teased him.

Daniel-Last Wednesday at 10:44 PM

"Shut up." He laughed. "You've met him, you should know now why I struggle with easy shit."

Isley-Last Wednesday at 10:44 PM

"Yeah, it's making a lot more sense now." She agreed with a nod.

Daniel-Last Wednesday at 10:45 PM

He sighed "Now I don't feel like being here." He laughed.

Isley-Last Wednesday at 10:46 PM

"Are we allowed to make an escape today?"April 5, 2018

Daniel-Last Thursday at 12:13 PM

"I don't think it's a great idea."

Isley-Last Thursday at 12:35 PM

“That’s what I thought. Well, guess we just go back to work as usual.” She shrugged.

Daniel-Last Thursday at 9:47 PM

Daniel sighed as he went back into his office to focus on work again. He worked well into the afternoon, but was put into pause when his father called him and revealed some disturbing news. Even more disturbing than any kind of secretary affair. He hung up the phone and sat in thought for a long time. Was he that hated by his siblings that his brother would keep something like this from him? He felt.. Confused? Empty? He wasn't entirely sure if any of his feelings were even fair as it wasn't as if he and Drew had ever been the closest. Still, it hurt to know that he had completely hid something so big in his life. He didn't come out of his office until long after he normally closed and he pulled his jacket on quickly. "Did you get those papers faxed to my dad's office?" He asked Isley.

Isley-Last Thursday at 10:01 PM

Isley hadn't seen Daniel the rest of the day. She texted him to see if he wanted lunch, and then dinner, but he said no. Finally, after what felt like forever, Daniel emerged from his office. She stood abruptly, surprised by his sudden presence. "Uh, yes, I sent 'em over a few hours back. Ready to go home?" She asked, pulling her own jacket on.

Daniel-Last Thursday at 10:05 PM

"Yes, I can do everything else I needed to get done from home." He said as he turned off the lights and stepped out of the door. He locked it behind them and got into his car, quietly beginning the drive back home.

Isley-Last Thursday at 10:21 PM

"Okay." She nodded quietly as they got in the car. Isley was silent, unsure of what to say.

Daniel-Last Thursday at 10:22 PM

Daniel stayed quiet until he parked in front of the building. "We should probably get food, huh?" He asked, realizing he hadn't eaten all day.

Isley-Last Thursday at 10:22 PM

"Yeah, I'm starving." She agreed.

Daniel-Last Thursday at 10:23 PM

"What do you feel like eating? Pizza?"

Isley-Last Thursday at 10:23 PM

"Mmmmm....yeah, I'm always down for pizza."

Daniel-Last Thursday at 10:26 PM

He nodded his head and drove to the pizza place that was near his apartment. Being home right now just seemed like a bad idea, he didn't want to dwell on everything that had been put on him that day. He parked and got out, leading the way into the restaurant and finding a booth. He was quiet as he looked over the menu until he made his choice. "Does the meat lover's sound good? Maybe with some jalapeno?"(edited)

Isley-Last Thursday at 11:33 PM

Isley could tell Daniel was still affected by his father's visit, but she had learned not to push Daniel when he was upset. Of course, she couldn't put it off completely and would ask him about it before bed, but then he'd be cooled off. So instead of prodding, she just went along with what he was saying. "Sounds good to me, babe."April 6, 2018

Daniel-Last Friday at 12:16 PM

He set the menu down and moved his attention to his phone until the waitress came and took their order. He ordered a beer with the pizza and then sat back. "So, Drew has a kid I guess." he decided maybe he'd feel better if he talked it out.

Isley-Last Friday at 12:33 PM

Isley let him distance himself from her, and turned to her phone as well. She had been tempted to order a beer, but then remembered she couldn’t. So it was Sprite she almost choked on when Daniel finally spoke. “A what?!”

Daniel-Last Friday at 12:35 PM

"I have no idea.. My dad called me convinced I knew something about it but I don't. I can't believe he'd hide something like that."

Isley-Last Friday at 12:36 PM

“Holy shit. A whole kid? How did he manage to keep that a secret?”

Daniel-Last Friday at 12:37 PM

"I have no idea.. My dad didn't tell me anything else. He told me not to tell Drew I know anything though."

Isley-Last Friday at 12:41 PM

“Wow. I’m almost...impressed that he could do that. I think it’s the most selfless thing he’s done.”

Daniel-Last Friday at 12:43 PM

Daniel rolled his eyes at that, glad that his beer arrived so he could drink instead of reply. "I think I hate my family."

Isley-Last Friday at 12:44 PM

“I’m serious.” She said, scoffing as Daniel rolled his eyes. “I think he only did it to protect his kid. It actually makes sense.”

Daniel-Last Friday at 12:45 PM

"Do I need protecting from?" He asked, mad that she was defending Drew's decision. "This conversation is done, I don't know why I told you."

Isley-Last Friday at 12:48 PM

“Not you, baby, from your parents. His decision had nothing to do with you, he didn’t want what happened to Natalie to happen to his child, too.” Isley replied, ignoring his rude comments because he was hurt.

Daniel-Last Friday at 12:49 PM

"I was 16 years old. Drew didn't even know about Natalie. He told Ellie the other day that he fucking hates us. He just didn't want us involved but I'm expected to have him involved with my business."

Isley-Last Friday at 12:56 PM

“But he has to know that your dad is capable of something like that.” She replied. “Wait, what? I didn’t know he said that...I could’ve understood hiding the kid from your dad, but just because he didn’t want you involved? That seems a little cruel.”

Daniel-Last Friday at 12:59 PM

"I'm tired of everyone being so secretive. This isn't normal."

Isley-Last Friday at 1:01 PM

"What is normal for y'all?" Finally, she couldn't resist the urge to touch and comfort Daniel and she reached a hand across the table to take his.(edited)

Daniel-Last Friday at 1:04 PM

"That's normal for us, I guess. It just makes me not want anything to do with anyone."

Isley-Last Friday at 1:05 PM

"Well, what do you think would make you happiest?"(edited)

Daniel-Last Friday at 1:06 PM

"for Drew to not be in Chicago anymore." He scoffed.

Isley-Last Friday at 1:11 PM

"Okay, but what would make you happiest that we can actually do? Because we should do whatever that is."

Daniel-Last Friday at 1:55 PM

"I don't know. I guess I just need to get over it." he wasn't entirely sure why he was so mad about it all in the first place.

Isley-Last Friday at 2:20 PM

"Do you think you're going to tell Drew you know or keep it to yourself?"

Daniel-Last Friday at 2:26 PM

"Nah, I'll probably just ignore him more than usual." he shrugged.

Isley-Last Friday at 2:38 PM

"Sounds good to me." She said as their food arrived. However, her hunger dissipated as she smelled the pizza for some reason, and she became nauseous. Chalking it up to stress, she continued to sip her Sprite.(edited)

Daniel-Last Friday at 2:57 PM

Daniel began to eat slowly, not feeling as hungry as he normally would be as his mind worked in overtime. He finished after a couple of pieces. "I think we will have leftovers." he chuckled.

Isley-Last Friday at 3:13 PM

Isley laughed weakly. "Yeah, we'll be able to eat for a bit."

Daniel-Last Friday at 3:21 PM

He asked the waitress for their check and a box, then sat back with a sigh. "I talked to the realtor today. I just need to go sign some shit but the land is ours."

Isley-Last Friday at 3:22 PM

"Aw, yay! I can't wait, baby."

Daniel-Last Friday at 3:23 PM

"And I set up a meeting to talk to a contractor on Saturday so we can talk price and stuff so we need to get a general idea of what we want."

Isley-Last Friday at 3:24 PM

"Sounds good." She said, thankful when the waitress returned with the box so the smell of the pizza wouldn't be as strong.

Daniel-Last Friday at 3:26 PM

He put the pizza in a box and left cash on the table for the waitress before standing up and grabbing the box,taking it out to the car. "I'm ready to lay down." he said once he was in front of the wheel.

Isley-Last Friday at 3:27 PM

"Me too." She said as she got comfortable. "All this shit has made me sick to my stomach."

Daniel-Last Friday at 3:29 PM

"I'm sorry." he said softly. "It's been a lot today."

Isley-Last Friday at 3:31 PM

"That's okay, I've been spotting too so I'm about to start my period as well. Which means I'm not knocked up yet, so."

Daniel-Last Friday at 3:32 PM

He nodded his head slowly "That's probably for the best."

Isley-Last Friday at 3:32 PM

She cocked her head. "Wait, what?"

Daniel-Last Friday at 3:33 PM

"I just.. Don't know if a baby is a good idea anymore. I'm just gonna fuck it up."

Isley-Last Friday at 3:35 PM

"What are you talking about?"

Daniel-Last Friday at 3:38 PM

"I mean look at my family, Isley. Why would you even want to have kids with someone who comes from this?"

Isley-Last Friday at 3:39 PM

"I've told you, you're not your family. You're your own person, and I know you, and I love you for who you are."

Daniel-Last Friday at 3:40 PM

"But I am them. I always will be."

Isley-Last Friday at 10:45 PM

“No you’re not. You amaze me every day with how much you love me, how kind and caring you are.”

Daniel-Last Friday at 10:47 PM

Daniel was quiet for a long moment before shaking his head. "I just can't wrap my head around all of this right now, Isley. I'm sorry but I think we need to pause trying to get pregnant."

Isley-Last Friday at 10:50 PM

She was silent for a long time, lost in thought for a while. Was he really putting their future on hold? This is something he had wanted all his life, and now he was changing his mind all of a sudden. Had he been not wanting kids for a while and was just now using this as an excuse. “Okay.” She finally said.

Daniel-Last Friday at 10:53 PM

He watched her carefully until she answered. He knew that it was bothersome but he couldn't shake the feeling that he shouldn't bring an innocent being into his dysfunctional life. He began the drive back home and when they got there, he stepped out and opened her door for her.

Isley-Last Friday at 10:56 PM

Isley nodded in thanks as she got out of the car. She silently followed him up to the apartment and began to get ready for bed.

Daniel-Last Friday at 10:59 PM

He sat on the bed, watching her get ready and wondering what was going on in her mind right then. Going against his normal judgement, he cleared his throat. "You okay?"

Isley-Last Friday at 11:02 PM

She couldn’t help but smile weakly as he asked if she was okay. When she finished dressing again, she moved between his legs, her hands on his face. “I’m just confused and disappointed. And a little angry, to be honest.” She moved away from him to brush her teeth.

Daniel-Last Friday at 11:06 PM

He felt bad that he had made her feel all of those things but he wasn't entirely sure how to fix it. Following her into the bathroom, he brushed his teeth as well. After walking back into the bedroom, he undressed and put shorts and a T-shirt on to sleep. He lay down and watched her for a moment before whispering "I'm sorry."

Isley-Last Friday at 11:09 PM

Isley climbed into bed after she finished gettin ready, rolling away from him as he joined her. When he apologized, she turned to face him. “For the past month you’ve been getting me excited about us. Talking about our life together, our babies...and then you have one bad day and you don’t want it anymore. That’s not fair to me.”

Daniel-Last Friday at 11:11 PM

"It's not just a bad day." He sighed, knowing she didn't understand why he felt the way he did and that he couldn't make her understand. "We will still have the house and a life together.."

Isley-Last Friday at 11:12 PM

“I know, Daniel, and I’m grateful for that. It’s just...I don’t know, you gave me hope for something and then pulled it out from under me.”

Daniel-Last Friday at 11:14 PM

"I was excited too. I didn't mean to make you feel this way."

Isley-Last Friday at 11:15 PM

She shrugged. “It’s fine, it’s not like I’m not used to it.” Wanting the conversation to be over, she turned away from him once more.

Daniel-Last Friday at 11:19 PM

Daniel frowned, unsure of what to say. Isley has always insisted they not go to bed angry but she seemed content to leave things feeling off for the night. He knew he wasn't going to get any sleep so he wasn't going to lie in bed and pretend. Instead, he got up and grabbed his laptop so he could go sit at the island counter in the kitchen and work.

Isley-Last Friday at 11:26 PM

Isley groaned as she felt Daniel get off the bed. After a while, she couldn’t sleep and started craving....something. So she padded into the kitchen, letting a hand trail past Daniel’s back. She opened the fridge and pulled out the pizza, but started gagging at the smell. Putting it back, she continued to look around the kitchen until she found what she was craving-peanut butter. Grabbing the jar and a spoon, she sat silently beside Dan at the counter and ate her peanut butter, eventually turning and putting her feet in his lap as a sign of a truce.

Daniel-Last Friday at 11:28 PM

Daniel was surprised to hear Isley walk into the kitchen and even more so when she sat beside him. When she rest her feet on him, his hand moved to one to stroke her skin. "Peanut butter?" he observed.

Isley-Last Friday at 11:30 PM

Isley shrugged. “I didn’t eat any pizza earlier, I’m hungry.” She wiggled when he touched a certain part of her foot. “That tickles, baby.”

Daniel-Last Friday at 11:32 PM

He had been so involved with his own issues he hadn't noticed she didn't eat. "Why didn't you eat pizza?" He smirked when she said it tickled and purposely tickled the bottom of her foot.

Isley-Last Friday at 11:33 PM

“Too stressed.” She said dismissively before laughing loudly. “Danny!” She scolded.

Daniel-Last Friday at 11:35 PM

He didn't like that he was so stressful for her but he let that go. He laughed softly as he moved his hand to her ankle. "Don't use me as a footrest if I can't play with you." he scoffed playfully.

Isley-Last Friday at 11:37 PM

“That sounds dirty.” Isley said with a laugh, nudging him with her foot.

Daniel-Last Friday at 11:38 PM

"If I had meant it dirty, you'd already be naked." he joked.

Isley-Last Friday at 11:41 PM

“Danny!” She scolded again as she scooped another spoonful of peanut butter into her mouth.

Daniel-Last Friday at 11:41 PM

"Turning down my love so much tonight." He pouted before turning his attention back to his laptop.

Isley-Last Friday at 11:45 PM

“Never.” She said, standing and draping her arms around his neck and kissing the back of it. She was grateful he was sitting, so she was able to be on his level.

Daniel-Last Friday at 11:46 PM

"You smell so peanut buttery." He laughed as he shut his laptop to show her his attention was on her.

Isley-Last Friday at 11:48 PM

She giggled and swung around so they were facing each other, then breathed in his face.

Daniel-Last Friday at 11:49 PM

He scrunched his nose and tried to move away, almost falling off the stool in the process. "You almost just killed me." he said with wide eyes.

Isley-Last Friday at 11:50 PM

Isley laughed again, slapping his chest playfully. “Oh please, you’re fine.”

Daniel-Last Friday at 11:52 PM

He smiled and leaned in to kiss her. "Should we go back to bed?"

Isley-Last Friday at 11:56 PM

She kissed him back, smiling as well. After a few weeks together, they had found a rhythm and had learned when to let things go. The fight about kids was one of them. Of course, she was still upset, but she would rather spend time with Daniel not being mad at him. “Yeah, bed time.”April 7, 2018
