13 Dates With Me

Chapter Two

Date one

Xavier's pov

I still can't believe Danny agreed to go on a date with me.

I've been in love with that light skin hot headed man since forever.

I have been in love with Danny since forever -college-, i was Diego's roommate in our first year of college, you know having to room with someone on campus on your first year of university was like the number one rule in the university.

I think I fell in love with him when he had came over to visit Diego in the room. He looked so good, back then he was rocking a large Afro, so you can imagine how beautiful he looked and he always dressed in a hippie type of way.

At first glance I knew he was the one for me, he just looked so handsome. So after he had left I tried to get Diego to hook us up but Danny shut down the idea and Diego told me he wasn't about to get involved in a relationship he's not a part of, especially when it involved his friends.

But I didn't back down, I wanted him so ever since then, I have been on his neck. Asking him out. But each time he would turn me down.

After we graduated, I joined the army, so I wasn't always around.

I still kept a close friendship with Diego so we still hung out once in a while and sometimes would hang out with the gang a few times.

So getting an invite to Gustavo's wedding and having the privilege to meet him again made me happy. I really liked Danny and I wanted him in my life. It could be me and him getting married but he plays too much.

I can't wait for the date I planned for next week. When he had accepted my offer for the date, I was trilled, more than trilled to be honest. If I could do a back flip, I would have done that.

I know I'm exaggerating but I just like him so much and I know it's been years and I should have gotten over him but I just can't, you get??

Like I still can't seem to forget the day I met him. He had this effortless charm and charisma that really drew me in, and I was immediately hooked. Because I remember thinking to myself, "Who is this guy, and why am I so drawn to him?"

I remember when we met for a second time at an event in college and he had no choice but to talk to me, I found myself opening up to him in ways I never had with anyone before.

And what surprised me was that he actually sat there and listened intently, his eyes locked onto mine, and I felt like he truly understood me. It was like we had a connection that went beyond words.

I tried to keep in touch but he didn't want anything to do with me and he made it clear, he didn't even want to be friends with me, well he did but I gave him the options of boyfriend or no relation-am I stupid or am I stupid?-. But Danny being Danny he still talked to me once in a while.

Fast forward to our reunion at the wedding. It was surreal seeing him again after all these years. He looked so beautiful, I genuinely thought my heart was going to explode in happiness. I remember watching the couple dance and images of us dancing in our wedding flashed in my head.

Asking him out again was scary but it was what I needed to do. I want us to further the relationship and I know it's annoying when I constantly keep asking him out but you can tell he liked me too, he just doesn't know it and I'm willing to show him during our 13 dates.
