Daniels POV
We all cramped into the van, Anna decided to sit in the way back and since there wasn't enough seats Hallie sat on her lap and I sat next to my sister. Hallie turns her body and sets her legs on top of my lap. She leaned her head on Anna's shoulder and went onto her phone. The drive to the beach was really long and hot. We sang along to the songs and sometimes goofed off. Hallie would glance at me here and there but I know I was looking at her most of the time. I couldn't help myself, she's so beautiful.
I looked out the window and watched the trees and cars fly by. After a few seconds, I turn my head toward the front if the van. I felt someone's eyes on me. I casually turn towards Hallie and Anna pretending like my eyes were just wandering. I meet her grey eyes, they danced as the smile on her face grew. She winked and looked back down to her phone. Anna was asleep so she hadn't witnesses any if this. I felt my stomach do flips. My phone vibrates and I pick it up, I smile and glance at Hallie before opening the message.
Hallie🌻
hey cutie, whatcha lookin' at?
hey gorgeous, i was looking at the most beautiful girl in the world.
As soon as I send it I look up at her, we lock eyes my cheeks begin to heat up and I noticed the shade of deep red grow on her cheeks. She typed on the keyboard without breaking our gaze. My phone vibrates in my hand, I didn't want to break our gaze but I wanted to know what she said.
Hallie🌻
and who might that be?
you.
We lock eyes once again, wow Daniel YOU GOT SOME BALLS KID (lol jack).
Hallie's POV.
Dani🍉
hey cutie, whatcha lookin' at?
I shocked myself what I sent, I've never been so straight forward like that. He replied faster then I expected. My confidence takes over after I read his text.
hey gorgeous, i was looking at the most beautiful girl in the world.
We locked eyes and I knew exactly what I needed to say, I didn't want break our gaze but I'm a pro at texting.. well sometimes lol.
and who might that be?
He looks at the text then sent another. I glance at it and my heart felt like it was about to rip out of my chest.
you.
Me? We stare into each other's eyes, I wanted so badly to touch him. The most we've touched was when we hugged. It felt like it was the two of us. "YAY!" Zach screams. I jump launching my phone up into the air. It lands on the floor in front of Daniel and I. We both reach for it and clunk heads. "ow" we both say. "what happened" I glare at Zach. "why did you yell?" He chuckles "because we're here" I roll my eyes, Daniel hands me my phone and the light touch of our hands felt like a shock of electricity throughout my body. "You scared me" Zach rolls his eyes now. "you're dramatic". My eyes widen. Anna giggles which makes me jump again. "Zach you better watch out, she'll fight you" he smirked. "bet" I was ready to jump at him but Jonah interrupted us "Will you guys stop acting like children and get out of the van" everyone does as Jonah says but as soon as everyone was out I took my chance and jumped onto Zach.
"OW- HEY DONT PULL MY HAIR!" I yank on his hair, not to hard because I'm not THAT rude. "SAY SORRY!" I yell. Corbyn was recording us. "NEVER!" He yelled back. "YOU HAVE 3 SECONDS OR IM GOING TO PULL HARDER!" everyone around us was dying of laughter. "3.. 2.." "OKAY OKAY SORRY" I release my tight grip. "sorry for what?" He huffs. I grab onto his hair again. "OKAY IM SORRY I SCARED YOU" I smile and jump off his back. I dust myself off "now shall we" I start to walk towards the beach. Everyones laughter fills my ears.
"Told ya so" Anna says. I turn around and smile widely. Zach squints his eyes at me. "Ima get you later" he threats. I smile and wink at him "what ever you say zachie Pooh" he rolls his eyes and I turn back walking closer to the beach. The sun looked like it was going to set in an hour. The sky had already became a deep orange color around the sun.
When we finally reach a spot to sit we set up a boom fire and sat around it. I sat on a log facing the sun as it set. I took multiple photos of it. There was small conversations between the group but I kind of let myself get lost in the sky. "hey" his voice was low and sent shivers down my spine. "hi" I say not taking my eyes off the now dark starry sky. "what are you doing?" I smile a little "watching the stars, it kind of sucks her tho, it's much clearer in Portland." He looks up with me "yea Portland you can almost see everything" as my eyes wandered the sky I grabbed onto the log to keep balance. My hand lands on his "sor-" we both say and pull away. He chuckles and his eyes turn a soft blue. "it's okay" and we both say, our faces turned red he chuckles a little, I smile and bit the inside of my cheek and stare into his soft ocean blue eyes.
I gulp and turn back to the sky, it's like all my confidence from earlier hid in a dark corner. He turns back to the sky looking slightly discouraged. We stay looking at the sky till Jonah yells to us "LETS GO GUYS" we both jump and run to the car.
Anna quickly fell asleep and i squeezed in between the two seaveys. My body was pressed against Daniel and I could feel my heart beat in my head. I leaned my head back in the seat. "did you have fun?" He asks quietly. I nod "yea, it was a lot of fun" he smiled "good". God this boy is good looking. He smirked a little and placed his hand on my leg. I keep my guard up and decided to lean my head in his shoulder but by doing that only made me tired within minutes I was asleep.
I felt a warm hand touched my cheek. I didn't move, they whispered to me "hey we're almost home Hallie" I move slightly, I didn't want to wake up. I open my eyes slightly. I had one arm wrapped around his torso, I feel a blush come on to my cheeks. "I know you're up" he whispers. I open my eyes and look up at him with a frown. He chuckles quietly. I sit up straight stretching my arms and back. He watches me as I do it. Anna was still asleep, I tapped her cheek. "Anna" just like that her eyes fluttered open. Jonah pulls into the driveway and she stretches just as I did.
I click open my phone, I had many notifications come pouring in. I ignored then and glanced at the clock, it was 1 in the morning. We slowly left the car and walked inside. Everyone was tired from the long day of driving and being at the beach. Everyone went straight to bed but I was in need of some water. I grab a bottle of water and sit at the island looking out the back window. I stayed quiet as my mind raced with different thoughts, just like every night. Random crazy thoughts would run through my head. Like which came first, the chicken or the egg? Or why did the chicken always have to cross the street? I chuckle at my idiot mind. The kitchen door opens and i jump a little I see a wide eyed Daniel. "sorry I didn't know you were in here" I smile "it's fine" he grabbed a water and sat in the chair next to me. "so whatcha thinking about?" I take another sip of my water "why did the chicken always need to cross the road?" He spits out his water and hysterically begins to laugh, seeing him in this state made me laugh. "oh my god, you're joking?" I shake my head no "no no I'm serious, why?" He chuckled and cocked his head back as he laughed. I put my hand on his arm "shhh, people are trying to sleep" he calmed down but still laughed. "you're something different" I raise an eyebrow "are we supposed to begin to sing the song?" He smiles widely "no but if you did I'd enjoy it" I pretend like I'm gonna start singing "we on- fire!" He rolls his eyes, I begin to blush at him. We kind of kept quiet after that, we would glance at one another here and there, I send smiles to eachother but we sat in comfortable silence. I yawned and a few seconds later he did as well. "im gonna get to bed Dani" I say getting off the chair. He got off his "goodnight Hal" he said pulling me into a hug. His big arms gave a tight squeeze, the scent of him filled my nose, I didn't want to let go but I did. "goodnight Dani" I walk out of the kitchen going to room and falling asleep.
Daniels POV
She walks out of the kitchen. I wait a few seconds before sighing, do I really like her? I met her like a month ago and I have all these random feelings, that I've never had before. But I can't like her. Shes my sister's Best friend.
