•I'm Hooked • Why Don't We•

7 - "You're my hero!"

"I've been all through the country
From LA. to Kentucky
Met a good girl in Houston, but she knows
That there are bad girls in Paris
No, they wanna get married"

"Urgh" I groan, trying to reach for my phone to turn off the alarm, I set for 8 am.

"I love the fact that you wake up to my voice every morning" Daniel's groggy voice speaks from behind me as I turn on my side to face him.

"It makes me hate you more every day" I sigh, a tired smile present on my face as I rub my eyes slightly.

"Well damn" he scoffs a little, prepping himself on his elbow.

"I still love you" I smile reaching my hand up as I ruffle his cute bed hair a little before turning around and sitting up with a big groan, squishing my face together with both my hands.

"I know" Danny says with an amused tone in his voice.

Sending him a playful look, I drop my hands in my lap, trying to find the strength to get up and ready for work.

"How long do you have to work today?" Daniel streches his arms in the air before shuffling to sit next to me and lets his head fall on my shoulder.

"Got the first shift so I'll be out at around 3 pm" I shrug, leaning my head against his.

"You want to come around after that again? We are going to a meeting this morning but should be back at around 2 pm"

"Yeah sure" I smile, pushing his head off my shoulder as I finally stand up and walk to the table, I put my clothes on yesterday.

"Are you working tomorrow too?" Daniel asks, as I hear the bed squeak, indicating he stands up as well.

"Nope, I'm free for the next 3 days" Grabbing the clothes, I turn around to see him walk to his closet, opening the door of it.

"Jonah, Jack and I thought about going to the beach in the morning, you could join us if you want" pulling out a pair of sweatpants and a new shirt, he starts getting dressed, while I do the same, starting with my jeans.

"Sure. I'll stop by my place after work and pack everything" I nod my head, though he doesn't see it, as he's putting his shirt on and I'm pulling mine off, making me stand in just a bra for a moment before I throw on my own shirt.

"Sounds like a plan" he offers a smile as we are both done with getting dressed and I fold the shirt I slept in, placing it on the table for me to wear later in the day.

"I don't want to go to work" I groan, leaning my back against said table.

"Aww, I think you'll live though. It's only six hours" Daniel tries to comfort me a little as he walks over to me and offers me a hand.
"Let's get some breakfast in you first, shall we?"
Pulling me off the table, I reluctantly follow him out of the door, letting go of his hand.

We try to be as quiet as possible as we make our way towards and down the stairs, seeing as the other boys are probably still asleep.
Arriving in the kitchen, I'm surprised we are not the first to get there as Zach is grabbing a bowl from the cupboard, his back facing us.

"Why are you already awake?" I question, apparently startling the young boy as he mutters a few curse words under his breath.

"Good morning to you too, Cam" Zach turns around to us, placing the bowl on the isle.

"Why are you already awake?" I repeat my question, walking to Zach's side of the isle to get a bowl for myself as well.

"We have a meeting at 11 am" he shrugs turning around to get the cereals from the cupboard next to the one I'm currently opening.
