The Bad Boy's Journal

Chapter 11

"I was thinking the conjuring." Caleb whines and the rest of us girls disagree. It's been ten minutes and we still can't pick a single movie.

"For chrissakes give me the CDs!" I shout drowning out everybody's voices. I take the whole pile and dump it into one of the store bags. "Diego since it's your place come here, close your eyes and pick one."

Yes we're doing this the nursery way because this is where it's come to.

"I think that's fair enough." Daniel says and leans back into the couch. He's wearing a classic white v neck shirt with black jeans. His blonde hair styled to perfection as always.

"Yeah I can't believe it's come to this." Mia sighs and Diego closes his eyes lifting a CD case out of the bag. His face fills with horror and his nose crinkles in disgust.

"The notebook."

Caleb and Steven start protesting almost immediately while Daniel starts laughing at their reaction. His laugh sounds like angels singing but I prefer Diego's.

"The notebook it is." I say and grab the CD putting it on play.

"Can we have a re-draw." Steven begs and Mia gives him a seductive look and a lip bite causing him to shut up and plant his lips onto hers. Kira and I glance at each other and gag at the sight.

"Well movie's starting. Kill me now." Caleb remarks and Diego adds "Me too bro me too."

"Will you guys shush it already!" Kira exclaims from the couch in between Daniel and Caleb. She gives them an intense glare and they raise their hands in surrender. The way Diego's living room is planned out is with a long couch for three people, one for two and a sofa. Diego being on the sofa, Mia and Steven on the two seater and the rest on the 3 seater that leaves me standing.

"Elena you can sit here if you'd like." Daniel smiles my way and I nod gratefully. We do need to squish in a bit but it's alright.

"You can have the sofa and I can sit there if you-" Diego interjects and I stop him. "I'm fine here, thanks."

"Alright pass the popcorn then." He adds and I pass him a bowl, taking one for myself as well. Kira grabs a third and Mia snatches the fourth.

"Easy babe." Steven chuckles and she grabs a handful of popcorn shoving it straight into her mouth. That's my best friend and her werewolf instincts alright.

"Ughh." Diego groans out.

"It's not as bad as you think dude." Daniel says and Diego just shoots him a blank look.

After half an hour of the movie Mia managed to get emotional leaving Steven to calm her down. Right now she's passed out on his shoulder. It's almost unbelievable how fast that happened.

I shift in my seat awkwardly trying not to go any closer to Daniel than I already am. Caleb is slouching and he took up most of the space! How's that even fair? That idiot-

I stop muttering colorful words in my head the second Daniel slings an arm around me, pulling me closer to his chest. My muscles tense up because this is not somewhere I want to be. It feels weird when I'm in his arms. I relax a little bit knowing he's probably contemplating on letting go. I don't want him to think I don't trust him or anything so I lean my head on his chest and he smiles down at me. I return the smile before looking at Diego's steely gaze. He lifts his eyebrows and shifts a little in his seat but remains quiet.

The movie continues on and Mia woke up from her slumber when Steven tried to place a discreet kiss on her neck.
Needless to say, not so discreet.

Daniel extends his arm further down my shoulder and slowly to my waist. Keep your cool Elena. Keep your cool. It's not until the palm of his hand reaches my thigh and he strokes it gently that my heart rate starts going up. I remain motionless trying my best to stay calm and get rid off this uncomfortable situation as soon as possible.
