But...(Sequel to If Only) ✔

Chapter 16 ~ Part 1

"Say ahhhh" he said. V blushed a beet red. It confused her. Why was she blushing? It was just her best friend...her best friend feeding her.

"I can do it myselt Daniel." She insisted, but he wasn't having it. After a few more attempts, she allowed Daniel to spoon feed her the ice cream.

As they watched the movie, V grew sleepier and sleepier. She cuddled with her best friend who prepared all of this for her. The best friend who is so sweet, kind, funny, charming...and handsome.

The last thought V had that night...

"I can't believe I have a crush on my best friend..."

Valentine's Day.

A day filled with chocolate, teddy bears, and all other diabetic things. Verdana never liked Valentine's Day. The main reason being nobody ever liked her. On the other hand, everybody loved Daniel. Wait, sorry,they like him. They admire him. The only one who actually honestly LOVES Daniel is his parents and-

"V!!!" Said best friend ran up to V

"Hey! How many chocolates have you received this year?"  She asked

"I don't even know. All I know is that I'm gonna get diabetes. I'm so sick and tired of chocolate." He rolled his eyes

V sucked in a breath and clutched her bag tighter. Inside the bag, was homemade chocolate that she worked so hard to make. She asked countless of people to help her until it was perfection. She didn't know that he didn't like chocolate...

"O-oh..."

"You okay?" He asked her

"Yeah...I just...need to get to class. I'm gonna be late for Math." 

V rushed to her next class, leaving the confused 16  year old in the hallway. As she made her way to her class, she couldn't help but feel incredibly sad. She worked so hard to make that chocolate for him, but it's probably nothing compared to the chocolate everyone else bought him. She shouldn't have bothered to make him anything. Her chocolate was probably like Kit-Kat compared to all the Ferrero Rocher.

She kept thinking about it till the end of the day. Just  before last period ended, she made up her mind. She was the first out of the classroom and in the hallways. She opened up the chocolate and teddy bear filled locker and was about to place her chocolate inside when the owner of the locker caught her.

"V?"

She looked at him as if she was a deer caught in head lights. She stood wide eyed for a few seconds until she composed herself.  Clearing her throat, she took the box of chocolates and shoved it to his chest. Her face was redder than a tomato.

"I know you're probably sick and tired of chocolate, but I wanted to give you one..." she admitted. Her hair fell in front of her face as she tried to cover up her embarrassment.

Daniel smiled at his best friend, and took the chocolate. He closed his locker and dragged his best friend all the way back home. They were breathless when they arrived. She looked at him with complete and utter confusion as they sat down on the couch.

"What was that for?" She asked

"I wanted to enjoy this chocolate in private with my best friend." He said seriously

V looked at him in shock. She was not expecting this reaction. He opened the box gently; he was afraid to ruin the packaging. He smiled fondly and took a bite of the chocolate, savouring every chew.

V blushed as she watch him handle and eat her chocolate as if it was the most precious chocolate in the whole world. Her blush worsened when Daniel moaned in delight at the flavour.

"This is the best chocolate ever. Where did you buy it?" He asked

"I...I made it..." She mumbled. She looked up to see his shocked face. It soon turned to a huge smile.

"No wonder it tastes so good." He said

"I-It's okay I guess..."

"No. It's AMAZING. Here,you try it for yourself."

Daniel leaned closer to V and held up the piece of chocolate to her lips. V took a bite and smiled proudly at herself. It really was good.

"See? Now no more. These are mine and mine only." He held the box closer to his heart

"What about your other chocolates? You left them at school"

"Eh. I'll give it to mom."

"It's gonna melt."

"I don't care."

He took another piece of chocolate and popped it into his mouth, chewing slowly to savour it some more.

"Thanks for the chocolate, V." He smiled at her

"Of course." She smiled back at him

He got up and placed the chocolate in the refrigerator.

"What are you doing?" She asked him

"I don't want the chocolate to melt" He shrugs. He grabbed his bag and plopped down next to her.

"Now for your gift" He said

"You got me a gift?!" V exclaimed

"Of course!!!" He looked at her as if it was the stupidest question ever.

He pulled out a box of chocolate, but it wasn't milk chocolate. It was all mint chocolate. He knew how much V loved that flavor, and he wanted to be unique. It was always milk, dark or white chocolate.

V smiled and hugged him tightly. Her insided turned into a butterfly farm. She was so happy. All she could think about at that moment...

"God...I love you so much. I love my best friend so damn much..."

"If only he loved me back."
